**Welcome to Our Table

Dear Reader: Your life is about to get a whole lot easier. 

Whether you’re an aspiring chef or you just want to be able to make yourself dinner without ending up on a BuzzFeed list of kitchen fails, you’re in good hands with Tasty. We want to be the wind beneath your buffalo wings, the Watson to your Sherlock home cooking, the Hall to your overnight oats. From tips and techniques to envy-inducing recipes, this book will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship between you and your kitchen.

The world has proven its insatiable appetite for all things Tasty by watching the step-by-step tutorials from start to finish a bajillion times, collectively. And since the only thing we love more than making you hungry is helping you make the recipes that turn any meal into a good time, we’re giving you all the Tasty you can eat, right here in book form. For anyone who has ever emerged—both hungry and inspired in equal measure—from a rabbit hole of Tasty videos, this is the next step in your culinary education.

This isn’t just a book of recipes—it’s a Tasty production, which means we’re going to guide you through all steps of the kitchen gauntlet. We’ve selected the recipes here to give you a mini-but-mighty culinary crash course. This book is the ultimate handbook for anyone who wants to learn to cook like the Tasty team. We can’t guarantee internet fame, but we’re certain that while you cook your way through this book, you’ll get something more lasting: a love for creating meals as deep and profound as your love for eating them.

As you whip up your Tasty creations, you’ll also be learning to poach with panache, blanch like a boss, and fry famously. Learning the fundamentals of cooking gives you endless options. Those caramelized onions you learned to make for French Onion Soup (page 32)? Why not add a few of ’em to a pot of cooked rice to make some magic! The pan-basting skill you picked up when you made Honey Mustard–Glazed Ham (page 282)? That knowledge is fully transferable
to chicken, fish, and pretty much any kind of protein your stomach desires.

The only thing better than wowing your friends and family with your newfound culinary prowess (“Oh, this old homemade pan pizza with all the toppings? I just thought it would be easier than ordering in!” you’ll say smugly) is treating yourself to incredible cooking every day. The question “What’s for dinner?” will never make you break out in a cold sweat again. No one breaks down the steps you need to tackle any recipe like Tasty does. Whether you’re cooking a lazy breakfast for one or a fancy AF feast for twenty (side note: can we come?)—we’ve got you covered, chef!
