Perfect for you if...

  • You want restaurant-quality food at home without the pretension. These recipes are tested and scaled for home kitchens, not written for professionals only.
  • You're curious about how top restaurants actually cook. Meyer explains the thinking behind the dishes, not just the ingredients and method.
  • You enjoy Mediterranean flavours with an American twist. The food here spans French, Italian, and Asian influences without being fussy about authenticity.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer quick weeknight dinners. Many of these recipes require proper technique, specialty ingredients, and time to execute well.
  • You're looking for trendy modern cooking. Union Square Cafe is nostalgic comfort food, published in the 1990s, and hasn't tried to chase fashions.
  • You want budget-friendly cooking. Porcini mushrooms, quality tuna, and good wine recommendations mean this cookbook costs money to cook from properly.
