a little girl, but I never expected it would come to this! With

entertaining as she is. The recipes sound as good as they look, but
it’s the extras that will make your cooking that much extra: her
excellent explanations of how to balance flavors, the deep dive
into the crunchy, spicy, and herbaceous condiments that will turn
your dishes into taste sensations, and the instructional videos
that bring every technique to life. I love this book as much as I
love her (which is a lot!).”—Carla Lalli Music, author of Where
Cooking Begins

starting point for home cooks wanting to develop flavor and
technique.”—Library Journal
