A young food writer''s witty and irresistible celebration of her mom''s "Indian-ish" cooking--with accessible and innovative Indian-American recipes

From the beloved New York Times bestselling author of Indian-ish and Cooking at Home, an illustrated cookbook for kids and their parents that draws on Priya’s childhood experiences traveling the globe with her family. With delicious recipes and laugh-out-loud stories, Priya’s Kitchen Adventures will get kids cooking and expand their curiosity about the world. Climbing the Great Wall of China, camping in the Amazon jungle, sliding down the dunes of the Sahara Desert—oh, and did she mention slurping ramen in Japan, sipping aguas frescas in Mexico, and enjoying British high tea? Before Priya Krishna was a celebrated food writer, she was a kid traveler. Thanks to her appetite for exploration (and a mom who worked in air travel), by the time she was a teenager she had done all this and more. Traveling unlocked Priya’s sense of discovery and inspired her to get cooking. In this bright and kid-friendly cookbook, kids can travel the world with Priya—no passport required, just an open mind and a kitchen. Through her eyes, kids and their parents can see—and taste!—China, Greece, Peru, Mexico, Morocco, England, Italy, Japan, France, Egypt, Trinidad and Tobago, and India. The whole family will love making and tasting each kid-tested recipe—brought to life with vivid photos and colorful illustrations plus step-by-step how-to photos—and sharing Priya’s dynamic and often hilarious tales of adventure. They’ll come to discover what Priya was lucky to learn as a kid: that cooking is one of our greatest superpowers, allowing us to travel in our own kitchens and learn about incredible places and cultures—without the jet lag. Recipes include: Pork and Chive Dumplings Spanakopita Tostadas with Refried Beans and Squash Miso Ramen Pesto Pasta Chocolate Mousse Artichokes with Butter Hummus Bi Tehina Vegetable Tagine Crepes With Priya’s Kitchen Adventures, the whole world is open for discovery—right from your very own kitchen!

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The founder of Momofuku cooks at home . . . and that means mostly ignoring recipes, using tools like the microwave, and taking inspiration from his mom to get a great dinner done fast. JAMES BEARD AWARD NOMINEE • ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: New York Post, Taste of Home David Chang came up as a chef in kitchens where you had to do everything the hard way. But his mother, one of the best cooks he knows, never cooked like that. Nor did food writer Priya Krishna’s mom. So Dave and Priya set out to think through the smartest, fastest, least meticulous, most delicious, absolutely imperfect ways to cook. From figuring out the best ways to use frozen vegetables to learning when to ditch recipes and just taste and adjust your way to a terrific meal no matter what, this is Dave’s guide to substituting, adapting, shortcutting, and sandbagging—like parcooking chicken in a microwave before blasting it with flavor in a four-minute stir-fry or a ten-minute stew. It’s all about how to think like a chef . . . who’s learned to stop thinking like a chef.

Hét kookboek waar elke liefhebber van koken op heeft gewacht!

David Chang, der berühmte New Yorker Koch und Netflix-Star, und seine Co-Autorin Priya Krishna zeigen, wie »richtig gut kochen« wirklich geht – nicht stur nach Rezept und mit maximalem Aufwand, sondern mit cleveren Abkürzungen, kleinen Tricks und einer guten Portion Vertrauen in die eigene Intuition. David Chang kochte nie zuhause, bis sein Sohn auf die Welt kam und er anfing, für die Familie zu kochen. Von da an folgte Chang neuen Leitsätzen. Erstens: etwas möglichst Köstliches hinzukriegen. Zweitens: mit einem möglichst geringen Zeitaufwand, und drittens: dabei möglichst wenig Chaos in der Küche anzurichten. In diesem superpraktischen und unterhaltsamen Buch zeigt Chang, wie man wirklich gut kocht: Indem man Rezepte anpasst oder auch mal ignoriert, »Abkürzungen« oder einen unkomplizierten Weg nimmt, auch wenn der verpönt ist – zum Beispiel, indem man Hühnchen in der Mikrowelle vorkocht, um es danach in 3 Minuten knusprig zu braten. Changs koreanische Mutter und die indische von Co-Autorin Krishna kochen beide ausgezeichnet, aber nie nach Rezept. Wie das gelingt, wie man dem eigenen Geschmack vertraut, souverän improvisiert und intuitiv kocht, das vermitteln sie in diesem vielfältigen Kochbuch mit »nicht-rezeptigen« Rezepten.
