About this ebook

If chefs are the new rock stars, Anne wants you to rock in your own kitchen!
 
For Anne Burrell, a classically trained chef and host of Food Network’s Secrets of a Restaurant Chef (where she shares impressive recipes and smart techniques that anyone can master), and Worst Cooks in America (the show that transforms hopeless home cooks), being a rock star in the kitchen means having the confidence and ability to get a great meal on the table without a sweat.  In her debut cookbook, she presents 125 rustic yet elegant recipes, all based on accessible ingredients, along with encouraging notes and handy professional tricks that will help you cook more efficiently at home.

With Anne's guidance, even the novice cook can turn out showstoppers like Whole Roasted Fish or Rack of Lamb Crusted with Black Olives, which are special enough for guests but easy enough for a weekday evening. For Piccolini (Little Nibbles), try making Truffled Deviled Eggs, Sausage and Pancetta Stuffed Mushrooms, or Baked Ricotta with Rosemary and Lemon. Delicious first courses include Pumpkin Soup with Allspice Whipped Cream and Garlic Steamed Mussels with Pimentón Aioli. And if you're craving pasta, Chef Anne's Light-as-a-Cloud Gnocchi, Sweet and Spicy Sausage Ragù, or Killer Mac and Cheese with Bacon will blow you away.

Whether she's telling you how to use garlic most effectively ("perfume the oil, remove the garlic, and ditch it—it's fulfilled its garlic destiny!") or reaffirming the most important part of cooking (it should have the “sparkle factor!”), you will never feel alone at the stove. Anne's effervescent personality and unmatched vitality will be there every step of the way--as teacher, coach, cooking partner, and friend.

Organized from “Piccolini and Firsts” to “Pasta, Seconds, Sides,” and, of course, “Dessert” Cook Like a Rock Star is all about empowering you with the confidence to own what you do in your kitchen, to be excited by what you're making, and to experience the same kind of joy that Anne feels everyday when she cooks and eats.

    I love love LOVE Anne Burrell! This is a fantastic cook book for any starter cook. Anne has filled this book with good recipes and some wonderful ideas on how to make things easier in the kitchen.

    I especially love the way that she uses the fancy smancy Chef Lingo and turns it into everyday homecook lingo.

    Many thanks to Net Galley and Crown Publishing Group for this ARC.

    Well, I guess you really can't judge a book by its cover, at least not in this case]

    What I didn't like was the title (because I still don't get it) and her posed photographs.

    I what I liked was most everything else.....

    Piccolini: Mortadella pate, Zucchini/parm fritters, Figs stuffed gorgonzola & walnuts, Peperonata w/ goat cheese, Polpettini, & Cipolline (mini onion) tempura

    Firsts: Calamari noodles w/ fingerling potatoes; Ricotta stuffed zucchini blossoms; Grilled sea scallops w/ watermelon 3-way & dandelion greens; Grilled porcini w/ poached eggs & parmigiano; & Parmigiano flan

    Pasta: All purpose pasta dough; Sweet & spicy sausage ragu; Raviolo al'uovo (Ricotta nestled egg yolk); Whole wheat pappardelle w/ roasted butternut squash; Risotto w/ rock shrimp, lemon & herbs

    Seconds: Grilled chicken w/ lemon & dijon; Dry rubbed bone-in rib eye; Braised cabbage stuffed w/ sausage & fennel; Rack of lamb crusted w/ black olives; Seared crispy skin black bass; & Duck breast w/ dried fruit & vin santo

    Sides: Swiss chard, pancetta & baby turnips; Chanterelles, fava beans & spring onions; Braised baby artichokes; Yummy lentils; Crispy crunch duck fat potatoes; & Spice roasted cauliflower

    Desserts: Mom;s anise seed cookies; Lemon curd w/ almond crust; Goat cheese cheesecake w/spiced nilla wafer crust; Juicy jammy jelly tart; Tarallucci w/ salty caramel; & Blueberry nectarine crisp

    Gorgeous photographs, easy to follow recipes, & chef's tips. Most recipes take less than 1 hour to make, but some like the pasta sauce takes 4 hours.

    But really 6 courses? How much can one person cook & eat!
