Own Your Kitchen: Recipes to Inspire & Empower: A Cookbook

In this follow-up to her spectacular bestselling debut Cook Like a Rock Star, Food Network chef and host Anne Burrell shows you not just how to keep rocking in the kitchen, but how to cook like you own it with 100 recipes to get you comfortable with dozens of essential techniques.

Taking
control in the kitchen means mastering flavors and constantly keeping
an eye on what Anne calls QC (quality control). It starts with
learning the power of great ingredients (how quality olive oil and salt
can transform an everyday dish), understanding the tools in your
kitchen, and getting your mise en place ready before diving into a
recipe. Anne shows you how to apply these skills to a slew of delicious,
high-brow/low-stress recipes that get you out of a cooking rut, so you
can keep surprising yourself in the kitchen. POC (piece of cake)!

Try
out your new skills with classic bistro fare, such as Grilled Hanger
Steak, Fish and Chips, or simple dishes, like Mushroom Soup with Bacon,
and Shrimp in Garlic Oil and Chiles. Master roasting with a Hawaiian
pork dish, have fun with spices making chicken roti, for a casual bite
there’s her Sicilian Tuna, Caponata, Provolone & Arugula Panino.
Each dish-whether firsts, seconds, sides, brunch, sandwiches or
desserts-is accessible yet teaches a range of techniques and embraces
tantalizing flavors. And they all share Anne’s secrets to great home
cooking.

Here is Anne at her most personal-complete with her
enthusiastic, sassy approach to how to get the most out of ingredients
and whip up irresistibly delicious dishes that she likes to cook at
home. So cook these recipes, master them, and then you will OWN YOUR
KITCHEN!
