Since launching his blog, self-taught cook Roberts (amateurgourmet.com; The Amateur Gourmet: How to Shop, Chop, and Table Hop Like a Pro (Almost)) has become a full-time food writer. Here, he distills his experiences cooking alongside all-star chefs (e.g., Alice Waters, Michel Richard, Jose Andres) into 50 chapters, each comprising an essay, a "Kitchen Know-How" sidebar of tips, and three meticulously adapted and annotated recipes (e.g., Yogurt-Marinated Leg of Lamb, Pasta Fagioli, Lemon Semifreddo with Blackberries and Honey).
VERDICT Finally, a chef cookbook that demonstrates sympathy for the novice! Highly recommended for home cooks who want to become less recipe-reliant.
