by Tom Colicchio
Chef, restaurateur, and television personality Tom Colicchio celebrates the 25th anniversary of his first cookbook with a stunning anniversary edition featuring a new author's note A groundbreaking volume when it was first published in 2000, Think Like a Chef is the perfect manual for a new generation of culinary professionals and passionate cooks everywhere. In this beloved classic, Tom uses simple steps to deconstruct a chef's creative process, making restaurant-style meals easily accessible to any home cook. Think Like a Chef starts with the essential techniques that form the basis of any chef's repertoire: roasting, braising, sautéing, and making stocks and sauces. Tom introduces building-block ingredients, like roasted tomatoes and braised artichokes, and shows how to use them in a variety of ways, from an easy vinaigrette to a caramelized tomato tart. In a section called Trilogies, Tom combines three basic ingredients to present several recipes, with one dish that's quick and other dishes that are increasingly more involved. As he says, Juxtaposed in interesting ways, these ingredients prove that the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts, and you'll agree once you've tasted the Ragout of Asparagus, Morels, and Ramps or the Baked Free-Form 'Ravioli'--both dishes made with the same trilogy of ingredients. The final section of the book offers simple recipes--from Zucchini with Lemon Thyme to Roasted Endive with Whole Spices to Boulangerie Potatoes--for components that can be used in endless combinations. Illustrated with glorious photographs, Think Like a Chef offers a master class from one of America's most celebrated chefs.

Family Thai: Bringing the Flavors of Thailand Home
by Arnold Myint
Eater, Best New Cookbooks Fall 2025Bon App tit, 14 Standout Cookbooks for Fall 2025Southern Living, The Best Southern Cookbooks of Fall 2025Chowhound, 21 Best Cookbooks of 2025The James Beard nominee and chef of the Thai restaurant International Market in Nashville, Arnold Myint, shares how to make the Thai food he grew up with in a gorgeous cookbook that's approachable yet packs a punch of flavor.In Family Thai, Arnold breaks down an often-intimidating cuisine into accessible building blocks for every home cook, beginning with pantry staples--what's fish sauce? what are the differences between soy sauces?--and moving on to teaching readers essential skills like how to steam the perfect sticky rice or how to make their own noodles if they can't find them stocked nearby.Arnold also shares what he likes to cook at home and adaptations of Thai cuisine that have been inspired by his hometown of Nashville and his travels around the world. From there, he takes us into the vibrant and colorful world of Thai street food--including shumai, shrimp toast, curry puffs, and more--classic noodle dishes, his own original creations, and, of course, his mother's classic recipes.Longtime fans of International Market, who have been begging for their favorite classic recipes for years, will find them among these pages.Arnold Myint grew up as a restaurant kid and was lucky enough to be surrounded by delicious Thai food. His parents, Thai and Burmese immigrants, first opened Nashville's International Market & Restaurant in 1975--a rarity in Tennessee, where Asian cuisine hadn't quite expanded beyond Americanized Chinese takeout. The Myints were determined to introduce Americans to the fiery, bold, and fragrant Thai flavors that had always brought them comfort, and it turned out that a taste of Thailand was exactly what Nashville needed.Almost 45 years later, after attending culinary school in New York City and working with Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Arnold now owns and runs International Market, where he continues to serve the comforting, soul-feeding recipes of his mother while also jazzing things up with his own Thai-Southern flare. During the pandemic, Arnold began reaching out to an all-new audience as well through Instagram, teaching Thai 101 basics to an ever-growing number of viewers.When Thais greet each other, they don't ask how are you or what's up? Instead, they ask, Kin lao yang? or have you eaten? Feeding people is how Patti and Win Myint--and now Arnold--show their love, not just for their family but for everyone within reach. In Family Thai, Arnold shares his boldly flavorful food and welcoming, heartfelt approach with home cooks everywhere.
