Reviews"The perfect companion to anyone starting out in the kitchen. In sharing so much experience and knowledge--not to mention so many recipes that I want to eat--Sohla has crafted a book to return to again and again and again." --Yotam Ottolenghi "We typically use the word 'cookbook' to describe a series of tasty recipes we re-create in our home kitchens that make us feel awesome. Only we're never really taught how to cook. Enter: the incredible Sohla El-Waylly, our officially unofficial guide to kitchen bootcamp, equipping us with the skills we need to feel confident in the kitchen--not capable, not able, confident . . . Start Here is nothing short of a game changer." --Christina Tosi, chef & founder, Milk Bar "This book has done the impossible: It's inspired me to cook. Start Here is an instant classic destined to be a kitchen staple. Sohla has revolutionized what a cookbook can be in a way that speaks so uniquely to her razor-sharp wit, generosity of spirit, and undeniable skill." --Dan Levy, Emmy Award-winning writer, actor, director, and producer of Schitt's Creek "A one-stop grand diplôme in the culinary arts taught by one of the most talented and knowledgable chefs, Sohla El-Waylly . . . Start Here is an instant, must-have classic." --Rick Andrew Martínez, best-selling author and video host "I am an instant fan of any book that crams in this much knowledge and science right alongside things like Lisa Frank Cookies and not one but FOUR kinds of homemade fun dip! . . . I don't know who's more excited, my brain or my belly!" --Molly Yeh, New York Times best-selling author and Food Network host "Cooking through Start Here has brought more joy to my kitchen than any cookbook in memory. Spoiler alert for my friends: This is what you're getting for Christmas." --Stella Parks, James Beard Award-winning author of BraveTart "Sohla's book is brilliantly organized and superbly written, with photographs that teach as well as inspire. Reading Start Here is like getting a fully accredited culinary degree from a professional who sees food and cooking through a grounded but completely modern perspective. Every recipe delivers. Add to cart! You need this book." --Carla Lalli Music, author of That Sounds So Good and Where Cooking Begins, "The perfect companion to anyone starting out in the kitchen. In sharing so much experience and knowledge--not to mention so many recipes that I want to eat--Sohla has crafted a book to return to again and again and again." -- Yotam Ottolenghi, New York Times bestselling author of Plenty and Ottolenghi Simple "The book I wish someone had handed me when I began my own journey as a cook . . . Sohla has improved my cooking, and I guarantee she will improve yours, too." -- Samin Nosrat, New York Times bestselling author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (from the Foreword) "Sohla breaks down cooking in a way that's elemental yet approachable. She is the patient friend, the seasoned guide, the doting mentor you want in the kitchen. This book will not only teach you the principles of good cooking, but also boost your confidence, allowing you to freestyle it in the kitchen like a master. There's something for everyone in this future classic. Buy this book now!" -- Padma Lakshmi "A foundational behemoth of a book (656 pages!) in the school of J. Kenji López-Alt's The Food Lab and Samin Nosrat's Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat . . . Every home cook will find something to learn in Start Here ." -- Eater "We typically use the word 'cookbook' to describe a series of tasty recipes we re-create in our home kitchens that make us feel awesome.
