NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Advanced home cooks looking to dazzle a dinner party will want to check this out."--Publishers Weekly ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING COOKBOOKS OF SPRING 2024: Epicurious - ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF SPRING 2024: Eater Take your home recipes and techniques to the next level with TikTok sensation and professional chef Sad Papi. When Brandon Skier first created Sad Papi (@Sad_Papi) and started posting cooking videos to TikTok, he'd just lost his job as a chef at the beginning of the pandemic. He'd spent ten years working in the kitchen of some of the top restaurants in Los Angeles--learning all the secrets of the business, understanding how chefs take cooking to the next level and, as Brandon says, how to "make it fancy." By the time his videos started going viral, his black hoodie, backwards baseball cap, and tattoos had become his signature. Soon after, he was listed among the rising cooking social media stars in
The New York Times.
