Forget the rules. Just cook!

Home-cooked food doesnt have to be over-the-top, fussy, or time-intensive to be absolutely amazing. In his debut cookbook, Nick DiGiovanni gives you the tools to become fearless in the kitchen and to create delicious meals.

Building on a foundation of staple recipes such as basic pasta dough and homemade butter, Nick shares a mouthwatering selection of his favorite recipes. Feast on New England favorites like Browned Butter Lobster Rolls and Garlic Butter Steak Tips, enjoy decadent pasta dishes like Smoky Mezcal Rigatoni and Sungold Spaghetti, and recreate fan favorites like his Viral Pasta Chips and Dino Nuggets. And of course, Nick had to include some collab recipes from his famous friends like Andrew Zimmern, Robert Irvine, Joanne Chang, Lynja, and more.

Knife Drop also includes Nicks expert advice on equipment, ingredients, and techniques, so home cooks of any ability level can pick up some new skills.
