Details Condition: Brand New Format: Hardback ISBN: 9780063062818 Publisher: Harper Wave Age Range: Adult Overview Food IQ is the ultimate kitchen companion for curious home cooks, from chef Daniel Holzman and food writer Matt Rodbard. Winner of the 2023 IACP Cookbook Award and a Publishers Weekly bestseller, this hardback guide tackles 100 essential cooking questions with wit, warmth, and genuinely useful answers. Packed with recipes, illustrations, and conversations with leading chefs and writers, it turns everyday kitchen confusion into confident, delicious cooking for novices and adventurous cooks alike. About the Book When food writer Matt Rodbard met chef Daniel Holzman while covering the opening of his restaurant, The Meatball Shop, on New York's Lower East Side, it sparked a friendship built on endless questions about food. More than a decade on, the pair write a popular column together and are constantly swapping ideas, texts, and kitchen debates. In Food IQ, they finally share that curiosity with home cooks everywhere. Structured around 100 essential cooking questions, the book explains the science and technique behind everyday kitchen dilemmas — why restaurant pasta always tastes better, when it's genuinely fine to cook with frozen vegetables, and what baker's math actually means for perfect pastry. Alongside the answers sit dozens of practical recipes, including Oyakodon (chicken and eggs poached in sweet soy dashi), a cast-iron quesadilla, and a reliable 40-minute red sauce. Throughout, Holzman and Rodbard blend hard-won kitchen wisdom with genuine humour, stunning photography, and illuminating conversations with notable food-world figures including Ina Garten, Roy Choi, Eric Ripert, Helen Rosner, Thérèse Nelson, Priya Krishna, and Claire Saffitz. Covering everything from grilling and sous vide to handmade pasta, canned fish, salt, olive oil, and natural wine, Food IQ is a genuinely comprehensive reference for the modern kitchen.
