In this beloved classic, Tom uses simple steps to deconstruct a chef's creative process, making restaurant-style meals easily accessible to any home cook. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThink Like a Chef\u003c\/i\u003e starts with the essential techniques that form the basis of any chef's repertoire: roasting, braising, sautéing, and making stocks and sauces. Tom introduces building-block ingredients, like roasted tomatoes and braised artichokes, and shows how to use them in a variety of ways, from an easy vinaigrette to a caramelized tomato tart. In a section called Trilogies, Tom combines three basic ingredients to present several recipes, with one dish that's quick and other dishes that are increasingly more involved. As he says, \"Juxtaposed in interesting ways, these ingredients prove that the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts,\" and you'll agree once you've tasted the \u003cb\u003eRagout of Asparagus, Morels, and Ramps\u003c\/b\u003e or the \u003cb\u003eBaked Free-Form 'Ravioli'\u003c\/b\u003e--both dishes made with the same trilogy of ingredients. The final section of the book offers simple recipes--from \u003cb\u003eZucchini with Lemon Thyme\u003c\/b\u003e to \u003cb\u003eRoasted Endive with Whole Spices\u003c\/b\u003e to \u003cb\u003eBoulangerie Potatoes\u003c\/b\u003e--for components that can be used in endless combinations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIllustrated with glorious photographs, \u003ci\u003eThink Like a Chef\u003c\/i\u003e offers a master class from one of America's most celebrated chefs.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Colicchio\u003c\/b\u003e is an 8-time James Beard Award-winning chef and the owner of Crafted Hospitality, which includes New York City's Craft, Temple Court, and Vallata; Las Vegas' Craftsteak; and Small Batch in Garden City, New York.
