Knife Drop: Creative Recipes Anyone Can Cook

Product Information

Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect from this book, but now that I’ve read it, I can see why Gordon Ramsay was willing to put his name on it and supply a foreword. Now let’s cut the maudlin bullshit, smash two beers over our heads like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and get to the damn list of this month’s best cookbooks. Over 1,000 years later, I’ve created this recipe that yields large, tall cookies with a crunchy exterior and a gooey interior. Compost’ takes on a new meaning in Nick’s cookie recipe, the accompanying photo showing a single cookie bearing hand emerging from a bed of pretzels, chips and smarties AKA pantry ‘compost’. Margaret and Irene Li, authors of Double Awesome Chinese Food and co-founders of popular Boston dumpling and sandwich eatery Mei Mei, understand this.

June is sort of a weird month, because it’s not really spring anymore, but it’s also not exactly full-throttle grilling time yet (especially if your backyard, like mine, is currently a smoky, dystopian nightmare); we aren’t yet in the balmy tomato paradise of August, and, at least here in Chicago, we seem to barely even be hitting peach season (my CSA this week included cherries, peas, red raspberries, and strawberries [reaches for new pie cookbook that will be mentioned imminently]). This wasn’t always true—not back when I was still obsessed with reading ~*serious things*~ like critical theory, Raymond Carver (still love him though), and jazz musician biographies, and certainly not when I tried to read all of Karl Ove Knausgaard’s My Struggle series (I failed have yet to succeed). He auditioned for Gordon Ramsay's MasterChef TV competition in 2018 during his senior year at Harvard.Knife Drop also includes Nick’s expert advice on equipment, ingredients, and techniques, so home cooks of any ability level can pick up some new skills. Containing over 100 recipes, Nick urges young cooks to have a go, be fearless and build their tool kit of recipes and techniques from homemade staples up.

Cookbooks give us ideas for exciting dishes to eat and share, and show us the techniques needed to cook and plate them; cookbooks not only expose us to new cuisines, but if you look beyond the food, they include cool tableware, FOMO-inducing photography, interesting bottles of wine, novel ways of entertaining and impressing friends, and, perhaps most importantly, ways of thinking and living that can inspire us to further hone our own vibes.
