How to Cook Everything: Bittman Takes On America's Chefs

How to Cook Everything: Bittman Takes On America's Chefs

Mark Bittman is the author of the humbly titled How to Cook Everything, a New York Times columnist and, some would say a world-class, but loveable, curmudgeon. In How to Cook Everything: Bittman Takes on America's Chefs, he puts his bold claim of always being right to the test, by going one-on-one with some of the country's most talented chefs as they prepare their signature dishes. Deflating overblown egos like falling souffles, he counters their creations with simple, straightforward recipes to demonstrate how preparing delicious, eye-catching cuisine need not be a difficult or intimidating process.
