How does one transform an Iron Chef and a Chopped pass judgement on on Food Network—and what does she really cook at home?

Alex Guarnaschelli grew up in a home suffused with a love of cooking, where soufflés and cheeseburgers were equally revered. The daughter of a respected cookbook editor and a Chinese cooking enthusiast, Alex developed a passion for food at a young age, sealing her professional fate. Old-School Comfort Food shares her journey from waist-high taste-tester to trained chef who now adores spending time within the kitchen together with her daughter, along side the 100 recipes for how she learned to cook—and the way in which she still likes to eat.

Here are Alex’s secrets to great home cooking, where humble ingredients and familiar preparations combine with very good technique and care to create memorable meals. Alex brings her recipes to life with reminiscences of the whole thing from stealing tomatoes from her aunt’s garden and her first bite of her mother’s pâté to being some of the few women within the kitchen of a renowned Parisian restaurant and serving celebrity clientele in her own successful New York City establishments. With 75 color photographs and ephemera, Old-School Comfort Food is Alex’s love letter to deliciousness.
