Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Learn to cook with confidence and unbridled joy in 100 big, bold, flavorful recipes from Molly Baz
A BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, Good Housekeeping, New York Post, Wired, Publishers Weekly
It’s time to crank up the heat and lose the measuring spoons because the secret to cooking is hiding in one simple motto: MORE IS MORE. In her bestselling debut cookbook, Cook This Book, Molly Baz taught the cooking essentials and put her love for mortadella and dill on blast. In More Is More, she’s teaching cooks how to level up their cooking, loosen up in front of that ripping hot pan, and seek deliciousness at all costs. (And yes, there will be more mortadella.) More Is More is a philosophy that encourages more risk-taking, better intuition, fewer exact measurements, and a “don’t stop ‘til it tastes delicious” mentality.
The recipes in More Is More are fit for any day of the week and for cooks of all skill levels. Each recipe will teach a technique or flavor combination that takes Molly’s maximalist, “leave no flavor on the cutting board” approach. So crank your ovens! Grab a fat pinch of salt! And if you’re going to use an ingredient, truly use it. Just one lonely clove of garlic? Not in this cookbook!
Start your morning with a Crispy Rice Egg-in-a-Hole, throw together a Chicken Salad with Coconut Crunch for lunch, look forward to Drunken Cacio e Pepe for dinner, and save room for a fat slice of Ooey Gooey Carrot Cake for dessert. The Only Meatloaf that Matters will teach you the power of re-frying, while Miso-Braised Chicken and Leeks will ensure you never throw away the green tops of the leeks again.
Throughout, you’ll encounter dozens of QR codes to step-by-step audio tutorials for a hands-free cook-along experience guided by Molly, plus recipe videos to help illuminate some of the trickier skills and recipes.
With intoxicatingly delicious recipes, vivid photographs, and Molly's one-of-a-kind playful guidance and whimsy, More Is More will inspire cooks to embrace a fearless mindset to level up their cooking—for life.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Baz (Cook this Book) lays out an infectious ideology of "boldness in the kitchen" in this boisterous guide to cooking "passionately, fearlessly, and, as always, in pursuit of something yumz." She aims to inspire home chefs to "have the nerve to go for bigger, bolder, more explosive flavor"—and succeeds in spades through well-constructed, confidence-boosting recipes. The collection opens with a set of rules that resonate all the way through. "If you're gonna use it, use it," for example, comes to bear in the pepperoni fried rice, which calls for a whopping 10 cloves of garlic. "Turn ya burners up (let's burn some shit)" applies to the spicy coconut smothered green beans ("We want to blister these babies!"). "One ingredient many ways" challenges home chefs to "look at an ingredient's potential for both flavor and texture," something Baz demonstrates in the raw and roasted cauliflower salad and the fennel on fennel on fennel tortilla. Recipes range from simple "snick-snacks" (sizzled dolmas with yogurt and brown-buttered pine nuts) to show-stopping surf and turf, with gorgeous photos and helpful tips throughout. The result is an invigorating guide to having fun in the kitchen.
