Knife Drop: Creative Recipes Anyone Can Cook

Product Information

This would be a perfect cookbook for someone just starting out or looking to make more recipes from scratch. DiGiovanni is a force to be reckoned with and truly unique in his field as he blends culinary excellence with a personable TV presence and a loyal social following of over 22 million people.

I'm gob smacked that a 2023 cookbook uses a 1950's ingredient, mayonnaise, so liberally when there are healthy oils available. At Harvard University, he earned the first-ever undergraduate food degree, and then went on to compete as the youngest-ever finalist on the 10th season of MasterChef. Internet sensation and celebrity check Nick DiGiovanni's second book (the first dating to his childhood), Knife Drop: Creative Recipes Anyone Can Cook will be heading to my sister's house this holiday season. The instructions are simple, and DiGiovanni’s light humor (“I’m convinced nuggets taste better in dinosaur form,” he says of the dino chicken nuggets) and anecdotes (“My grandpa taught my brothers and me to catch blue crabs when we were little, so this dish always reminds me of him,” he says of the crab and artichoke dip with Old Bay crostini) add charm. Since first appearing on MasterChef five years ago, DiGiovanni has leaned on the celebrity chef as a trusted adviser.Most of the time, you can find me at my "homemade" cooking studio in Boston, which I've dedicated to all of you who allow me to do what I love every day. DiGiovanni’s clear passion for food will inspire home cooks of all levels to embark on their own culinary adventures. But there are also a couple that don’t quite hit that “impressive” mark or which might be a bit more intimidating to the home cook. As for the recipes themselves, I’m quite pleased to report that the vast majority of them look like something I’d actually like to cook and/or eat. He’s racked up billions of views on YouTube, multiple Guinness World Records, and even a Streamy award.
