From next-gen culinary phenom and TikTok superstar Jeremy Scheck, easy and delicious recipes for every day and beyond—plus expert tips to make you a better, happier cook.

Jeremy Scheck has charmed a new generation of home cooks with his simple yet remarkably tasty recipes and his reliable culinary know-how. Now, in this stunning and personal book brimming with approachable recipes and step-by-step guidance, Jeremy shares the building blocks of what he calls culinary literacy: understanding why a recipe works and empowering readers to cook with confidence every day. Recipes are designed to minimize single-use ingredients and equipment (for example, all baking recipes are no-mixer-required), encouraging versatility with easily available essentials and Jeremy's favorite kitchen staples. Organized by course, recipes include:

  • Honey Lemon Chicken
  • Coca-Cola Braised Brisket
  • Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
  • Maple Za'atar Carrots
  • Sheet Pan Teriyaki Salmon and Veggies
  • Mac and Cheese Orzo
  • Pretzel Blondies
  • Invaluable primers throughout offer simple explanations of age-old techniques and food science facts, such as how to get the perfect creamy pasta sauce, how to make leftover veggie soup without a recipe, why you need brown butter in your life (and in your cookies!), and why a little sweetness is the secret to the best roast chicken. With this must-have kitchen companion, everyone can learn the basics of cooking simple but delicious food, whether it's your first cookbook or it's joining a full shelf of dog-eared and sauce-stained classics.

        Scheck started his food blog, ScheckEats, while in high school and expanded to TikTok and Instagram during the COVID crisis while a college student at Cornell. His first book is a revamp of classics along with food-science tips. Introductory chapters cover kitchen tools, equipment, and staple pantry ingredients, all of which are basic and accessible in the United States. The following chapters cover breakfast (fried eggs, tomato toast, granola) and vegetables (soups, salads, roasted broccoli and cauliflower). A number of recipes focus on potatoes done in various ways, including crispy roast potatoes, which was a viral hit on Scheck's TikTok channel. A chapter on proteins includes such items as Coca-Cola-braised brisket and slow-cooked ginger chicken as well as a number of salmon recipes. Finally, a chapter on desserts includes tangy key lime pie with gingersnap crust, along with recipes for cakes, cookies, and homemade vanilla extract. The book's asides cover things like cleaning nonstick cookware and cake decorating tips. A chart notes which recipes are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and/or dairy-free. VERDICT Beginning cooks and fans of Scheck's social media channels will enjoy this collection of tasty recipes.--Phillip Oliver
