The author of ‘The Cook You Want to Be’ breaks down the connection between food and beauty.
“People think I’m a fussy person,” Andy Baraghani writes in his just-published cookbook,fussy about how my T-shirts fit, playlists for long car rides, and my skincare routine. But when it comes to cooking, my tools are relatively minimal.” He goes on to list the supplies he does recommend for a well-stocked kitchen , but you won’t find any of the famously glow-y chef and writer’s thoughts on exfoliation or eye cream anywhere in the book’s beautifully photographed, thoughtfully instructive pages.
Tell me a bit about what inspired you to write a cookbook, and why you decided to approach it in the way that you did—not only does it feel like a very personal project, but the format is very loose, welcoming, and conversational. I think a lot of cookbooks can be very assertive, like, “This is how you do something. This is the right way.” For me, cooking has never been so much of a right and wrong, but a process that continues to evolve. The message I want to communicate to the reader is to stay curious and to expand: Expand your collection of ingredients, your ideas of flavor combinations and cuisine.
