“Surprising no one, Molly has written a book as smart, stylish, and entertaining as she is.”—Carla Lalli Music, author of Where Cooking Begins
If you seek out, celebrate, and obsess over good food but lack the skills and confidence necessary to make it at home, you’ve just won a ticket to a life filled with supreme deliciousness. Cook This Book is a new kind of foundational cookbook from Molly Baz, who’s here to teach you absolutely everything she knows and equip you with the tools to become a better, more efficient cook.
Molly breaks the essentials of cooking down to clear and uncomplicated recipes that deliver big flavor with little effort and a side of education, including dishes like Pastrami Roast Chicken with Schmaltzy Onions and Dill, Chorizo and Chickpea Carbonara, and of course, her signature Cae Sal. But this is not your average cookbook. More than a collection of recipes, Cook This Book teaches you the invaluable superpower of improvisation though visually compelling lessons on such topics as the importance of salt and how to balance flavor, giving you all the tools necessary to make food taste great every time. Throughout, you’ll encounter dozens of QR codes, accessed through the camera app on your smartphone, that link to short technique-driven videos hosted by Molly to help illuminate some of the trickier skills.
As Molly says, “Cooking is really fun, I swear. You simply need to set yourself up for success to truly enjoy it.” Cook This Book will help you do just that, inspiring a new generation to find joy in the kitchen and take pride in putting a home-cooked meal on the table, all with the unbridled fun and spirit that only Molly could inspire.
Cook This Book: Techniques That Teach and Recipes to Repeat by Molly Baz is a revolutionary cookbook that takes a unique approach to teaching cooking techniques and creating delicious recipes.

The book is divided into six chapters, each focusing on a different technique, such as knife skills, sautéing, roasting, and baking.

Baz then provides several recipes that showcase the technique, allowing readers to practice what they've learned. The recipes range from simple to complex, ensuring that there's something for everyone, from novice cooks to experienced chefs.
One of the things that makes Cook This Book so unique is Baz's emphasis on repetition. She believes that the best way to learn a technique is to practice it over and over again.

The recipes in Cook This Book are all incredibly delicious and creative. Baz has a knack for combining unexpected flavors and ingredients to create dishes that are both surprising and satisfying. From her Crispy Confit Chicken with Garlic and Herbs to her Roasted Vegetable Tart with Goat Cheese, every recipe is a culinary adventure.
