“Alex Guarnaschelli is one of the best cooks I know . . . and I know firsthand. Alex has the best food vocabulary in the game, and now those words come to life in her book Cook with Me. I’m placing this one right on my kitchen shelf at home just for the Spatchcocked Chicken and Slow Cooker Brownies alone . . . destined to become instant classics in anyone’s kitchen, including mine.”—Bobby Flay, chef

This book is a must for every kitchen!”—Gail Simmons, food expert, TV host, and author of Bringing it Home
 
“Every once in a while, I read a cookbook that makes me want to drop what I’m doing and rush into the kitchen. Alex Guarnaschelli’s Cook with Me is one such cookbook. It’s filled with love, family stories, and sophisticated yet extremely doable recipes for home cooks.”—Jennifer Segal, author of Once Upon a Chef
 
“There has never been a time when Alex Guarnaschelli has invited me to her home for dinner that I didn’t jump on the opportunity. Her meals are as special as her friendship, and now with this cookbook I don’t have to wait to be on the East coast to enjoy her delicious and inspired dishes.”—Giada de Laurentiis

“Food Network personality [Alex] Guarnaschelli (The Home Cook) serves up a compendium of doable dishes with plenty of encouragement and cleverness.”—Publishers Weekly

“Cook with Me blew me away . . . Only ICAG (Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli) can make cheese toast or flaming broiled provolone seem like a four-star dish. Throughout the book, her signature way with flavors and global influences make this a must-have title of 2020.”—Eat Your Books
