Steak and Cake: More Than 100 Recipes to Make Any Meal a Smash Hit
Steak and Cake is an instant dinner party! It’s inspired by a class that I taught at the Institute of Culinary Education in NYC. I wanted to create a cookbook that was about meals we cook when we’re celebrating and sharing food with friends and family. This cookbook pairs mouthwatering steak recipes with swoon-worthy cake recipes to create dinner menus. (Think T-bone with nduja butter and mushroom tarts paired with red velvet cake.) It also has all the information you need to buy and grill steak like a pro.
Why it made the list: This is not an aspirational cookbook, this is a cookbook with attainable recipes. There is something for everybody, from tomahawk steaks to taco. This book tells a story about flavor and celebration and is full of shortcuts, hacks and secrets to make a steakhouse dinner at home.
