Book description
In her much-anticipated first cookbook, the culinary superstar and Top Chef winner reimagines the role produce plays in everyday meals, moving it from side to center in enticing recipes that add fun and complex flavor to healthy eating--the kind of food we want to enjoy today. A prodigy who started cooking as a teenager, master chef Brooke Williamson has already carved out a rΓ©sumΓ© full of leading roles and professional achievements in her young career. She won Bravo's Top Chef Season 14, and on Food Network, was crowned the first winner of Tournament of Champions, and debuted as one of the three titans on the new cut-throat hit competition, Bobby's Triple Threat.Sun-Kissed Cooking is her much-anticipated first cookbook--a remarkably fresh look at produce-forward cooking that combines a deep love of ingredients, a respect for seasonality--which also incorporates preserved and canned vegetables--and an unexpected flair that makes cooking with produce inventive, fun, and incredibly delicious. Williamson inspires home cooks to follow their imagination and build dishes from whatever vegetables or fruits capture their fancy in the moment. With over 100 fresh and unexpected recipes, arranged by the ingredient at the center, from mushrooms and tomatoes to peas and pods to starch and greens--accompanied by sixty enticing photos--she shows how to get the most out of items from the farmer's market or the produce aisle.Though vegetarians will find plenty of recipes to love, Sun-Kissed Cooking is for everyone who wants to eat better without compromising flavor or skimping on ingredients they love--many dishes feature meat, poultry, and seafood. Williamson's cooking style is wonderfully original without being fussy or complicated, and following her helpful guidance home cooks of every level can adopt her joyful attitude in the kitchen at the dinner table.
