Why read it?

It's not only really, really beautifully photographed, I want to make literally every recipe right now! Nothing is overly complicated, but everything has its own unique twist. Can we talk about the brilliance of turning Eggs Benedict into a sandwich!?!?!? Nick's personality shines through even the most concise of the head notes.

I loved his browned butter chocolate…
