If you’re like me and are the literal worst at meal prepping then you know how frustrating it can be to come home after a long day of work and stand in your kitchen trying to figure out how the hodgepodge of ingredients in your fridge can make a meal. And that’s only if you didn’t skip your weekly grocery trip (no judgment). In the end, you end up ordering in and feeling guilty for yet another night of takeout, because you don’t have the energy, time, or cookware to make a meal that you know will take hours to just prepare. Luckily, your cooking prayers have been answered thanks to David Chang’s, who is also the owner of Momofuku, and Priya Krishna’s latest cookbook – Cooking at Home: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Recipes (And Love My Microwave). It officially comes out on October 26, but you can preorder it now for $24.99 — $10 less than the list price.
When you think of a cookbook written by a well-renowned chef and restaurant founder, low-effort dishes may not be the first to come to mind, but as David learned growing up from his mom (who also happens to be one of the best cooks he knows), cooking doesn’t have to be done the hard way. The cookbook features everything from tips on how to properly freeze food to how to turn less than ideal produce into mouth-watering vegetables everyone will enjoy.
Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.
There’s definitely a fair share of cookbooks on the market, but none like this one that actually encourages you to let loose in the kitchen and have fun with it. As someone who views cooking as more of a chore than something to enjoy, I’m personally very excited for this cookbook to release.
