From rising culinary star Danny Bowien, chef and cofounder of the tremendously popular Mission Chinese Food restaurants, comes an exuberant cookbook that tells the story of an unconventional idea born in San Francisco that spread cross-country, propelled by wildly inventive recipes that have changed what it means to cook Chinese food in America Mission Chinese Food is not exactly a Chinese restaurant. It began its life as a pop-up: a restaurant nested within a divey Americanized Chinese joint in San Francisco's Mission District. From the beginning, a spirit of resourcefulness and radical inventiveness has infused each and every dish at Mission Chinese Food. Now, hungry diners line up outside both the San Francisco and New York City locations, waiting hours for platters of Sizzling Cumin Lamb, Thrice-Cooked Bacon, Fiery Kung Pao Pastrami, and pungent Salt-Cod Fried Rice.The force behind the phenomenon, chef Danny Bowien is, at only thirty-three, the fastest-rising young chef in the United States. Born in Korea and adopted by parents in Oklahoma, he has a broad spectrum of influences. He's a veteran of fine-dining kitchens, sushi bars, an international pesto competition, and a grocery-store burger stand. In 2013 Food & Wine named him one of the country's Best New Chefs and the James Beard Foundation awarded him its illustrious Rising Star Chef Award. In 2011 Bon App tit named Mission Chinese Food the second-best new restaurant in America, and in 2012 the New York Times hailed the Lower East Side outpost as the Best New Restaurant in New York City. The Mission Chinese Food Cookbook tracks the fascinating, meteoric rise of the restaurant and its chef. Each chapter in the story--from the restaurant's early days, to an ill-fated trip to China, to the opening of the first Mission Chinese in New York--unfolds as a conversation between Danny and his collaborators, and is accompanied by detailed recipes for the addictive dishes that have earned the restaurant global praise. Mission Chinese's legions of fans as well as home cooks of all levels will rethink what it means to cook Chinese food, while getting a look into the background and insights of one of the most creative young chefs today.--AndrewZimmerman.com
Immerse yourself in the wonderful world of Wes Anderson with 55+ recipes inspired by his films, characters, and signature aesthetic. In The Wes Anderson Cookbook—the debut title in the Director’s Cut Kitchen series—you’ll embark on a wondrous culinary adventure: an edible tribute to the charm, wit, and whimsy of filmmaker Wes Anderson’s inimitable creations, from his first film, Bottle Rocket, to his series of Netflix shorts, to his latest film, The Phoenician Scheme. While you can’t book a stay in one of the Grand Budapest Hotel’s timeworn rooms, buy a ticket for the Darjeeling Limited, or enroll in the fabled Rushmore Academy, you can experience all those places—and the memorable characters who inhabit them—through the foods and flavors that loom large in Anderson’s films as props, symbols, and uncredited dramatis personae. The Wes Anderson Cookbook is a carefully crafted homage to the director’s visual and narrative style, with vibrant design elements that echo his iconic aesthetics. With an introduction about the director, his oeuvre, and the role foods play in his films, the book contains 59 full-color, beautifully illustrated recipes, from main dishes and snacks to drinks and desserts; each explains its connection to a particular movie or scene, adding layers of storytelling and fun facts for film buffs. Enjoy recipes such as: Midge’s Dinette Waffles from Asteroid City Private Compartment Savoury Snacks from The Darjeeling Limited Purloined Chicken Salad from Fantastic Mr. Fox The Royal Negroni from The Royal Tenenbaums Grilled Jaguar Shark Steaks with Cream Sauce from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou Mendl’s Courtesan au Chocolat from The Grand Budapest Hotel With menus for viewing parties, a complete filmography, and Easter eggs galore, this book is as much a visual feast as a literal one. More than just a collection of recipes, this is a collector’s item that celebrates the art of both cinema and cooking. With its unique premise of turning the lens on the director, rather than on a specific film, its visually stunning design appeals to both film fans and foodies alike.

Director’s Cut Kitchen is a series of unofficial cookbooks that explores the intersection of food, film, and creativity, focusing on the distinctive styles of celebrated film directors.

The Brooklyn destination the "New York Times" called "one of the most extraordinary restaurants in the country"--which began as a pizza place and quickly redefined the urban food landscape--releases its highly anticipated debut cookbook. When Roberta's opened in 2008 in a concrete bunker in Bushwick, it was a pizzeria where you could stop in for dinner and stumble out hours later, happy. It's still a down-the-rabbit-hole kind of place but has also become a destination for groundbreaking food, a wholly original dining experience, and a rooftop garden that marked the beginning of the urban farming movement in New York City. The forces behind Roberta's--chef Carlo Mirarchi and co-owners Brandon Hoy and Chris Parachini--share recipes, photographs, and stories meant to capture the experience of Roberta's for those who haven't been, and to immortalize it for those who've been there since the beginning.
