America’s most trusted and bestselling cookbook author, Ina Garten—the Barefoot Contessa—has taught millions of people how to cook. In her highly anticipated eleventh cookbook, Cook Like a Pro (Clarkson Potter | on sale October 23, 2018| $35.00 | Hardcover), Ina shares brand-new recipes along with a well-earned collection of tips that will help readers cook with confidence no matter their level of experience.
Although Ina is completely self-taught and doesn’t consider herself to be a “professional” cook, she has spent decades working with chefs and learning the techniques that set their cooking apart. In Cook Like a Pro, Ina shares dozens of these “pro tips” for prepping (how to properly cut cauliflower without making a mess), cooking (the secrets to making custardy, slow-cooked scrambled eggs and the juiciest fried chicken sandwich), and presenting (showcase your food, not your platter).
As her millions of fans have come to expect from Ina, the recipes in Cook Like a Pro are streamlined, refined, and foolproof; she prides herself on testing and retesting each recipe until it is as straightforward and delicious as possible. Beginner and advanced cooks alike will love the practical advice in Cook Like a Pro that talks them through every detail, as though Ina were right there by their side. Each recipe offers one (or more!) piece of insider insight that makes your cooking a little more vibrant, the flavor a little more elevated, and the presentation irresistible.

- COCKTAILS: Autumn Sangria; Classic Daiquiris, Updated; Sautéed Shishito Peppers; Arrange a Bar Like a Pro
