"I love being in the kitchen. I even wrote a book about it! But I only like cookbooks. Why? Because they feel incomplete: too many recipes, not enough help. Y'all, STOP THE PRESSES--OUR COOKBOOK IS HERE. The Cook's Book is delightfully unique, full of delicious recipes you expect from a cookbook but with a comprehensive cooking course built right in. Bri is the kindest, coolest, smartest teacher, and it is impossible to read this book and not laugh your way to becoming more confident in the kitchen. The minute this book landed in my hands, I abandoned my family to their bowls of spaghetti and promptly devoured every word. No regrets. It's tremendous. You will absolutely love it."
Kendra Adachi, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Lazy Genius Kitchen and The Lazy Genius Way
"You don't need any other book. Call off the search. Bri has written it all in one place. I can't even call it a cookbook (although you will keel right over for the Sticky Honey Chicken . . . drool), because it is more like instruction manual meets curated checklists meets coaching hype meets manifesto. Everything you ever wanted to know about cooking, hosting, and being generally delighted in the kitchen is inside the pages of The Cook's Book. I would never lie to you. I'm giving this to my young adult children so they can feed and cocktail me properly for the rest of my life."
