“Not a lot of cookbooks make me shouty, but this one did instantly: Everything looks so good! Clever, innovative, and fresh, I hardly know what to cook first.”—Deb Perelman, author of
Smitten Kitchen Keepers
ONE OF NPR’S BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR
Far from a fussy chef or unrealistic food influencer, Carolina learned to cook at home with a family who loved food but could rarely go out to eat. Taking that passion to the next level, she worked in restaurants and translated her skills into a successful full-time recipe developer who cultivated an online community of millions who love her recipes.
Her debut cookbook,
Pass the Plate,
features 100 recipes for creative but familiar takes on beloved comfort foods—almost all are brand-new, but there are also some beloved fan favorites. Dishes such as
Chicken Schnitzel with Caramelized Lemon Gremolata
and
Many Mushrooms Lasagna
to
Broccoli Cheddar Beans with Crispy Cheddar Panko
Upside-Down Pineapple Coconut Cake
will satisfy cravings and inspire confidence in the kitchen, regardless of your skill level. With personality-packed chapters such as Egg-Stravaganza, Nosh & Nibble, Salad Days, and Veg Out, everyone will find something to enjoy.
Full of gorgeous photography and heartwarming stories about Carolina’s Romanian family,
Pass the Plate
will bring comfort to your kitchen and have friends and family asking for seconds.
