At Home in the Kitchen

“This is not the book you’re expecting from a big deal chef. It’s an engaging look at a guy who just loves cooking for his friends. You end up wishing you could drop in on David for a casual dinner—and in the meantime, you’ll want to cook his easygoing dishes for your own friends.”—Ruth Reichl

“David Kinch makes cooking easy, seductive, and fun. Beautifully written and well composed, this book will teach you all the classics, everything you need to be an enviable and deft host. The musical playlist alone is worth the price. An instant classic, it defines California cool and wears its sophistication lightly.”—Padma Lakshmi, creator of Taste the Nation and New York Times bestselling author of Love, Loss, and What We Ate

“This book demonstrates the true brilliance of David’s cooking … simplicity, elegance, and generosity of spirit.”—Carlo Mirarchi, chef/owner of Roberta’s and Blanca

“David’s passion for thoughtful ingredients is captivating. What a great opportunity to learn his magical cooking at home.”—Nina Compton, chef at Compère Lapin and Bywater American Bistro
