Think Like a Chef

In 'Think Like a Chef,' Tom Colicchio deconstructs the creative process of a chef, making it accessible to home cooks.

The book emphasizes basic techniques such as roasting, braising, sautéing, and making stocks and sauces.

It also introduces simple ingredients and shows how to use them in various ways, and features sections on 'Studies' and 'Trilogies' that demonstrate how to combine ingredients to create multiple dishes.

The book is designed to help readers trust their instincts and cook independently of recipes, with a focus on seasonal ingredients and clear, easy-to-follow instructions.
