Cooking ain’t fun if nobody eats it. That’s why I only share recipes that make it past my crew (which includes a man of average culinary tastes, and multiple toddlers). We enjoy a diet based on whole foods including fresh ground grains, clean meat (as the budget allows), veggies, and lots of good fats! If that’s how you like to eat, too, then you’ll love my books for smart cooks—actual paperbacks that you can take right into the kitchen with you! Meanwhile, here’s a sampling of our favorites.
