Who doesn’t love a good cookbook? I have grown quite a collection of cookbooks over the years and the information in Kindness and Salt is something I wish came out years ago. The book is written by the owners of two of Brooklyn’s favorite restaurants, Buttermilk Channel and French Louie, and it breaks down recipes in a way that makes sense that even the most beginner chef could use.

This book covers everything from pantry staples to cocktail recipes. Whether you are serving a dinner with friends or a low key brunch, this has a recipe that will impress. It goes step-by-step on how to make pate or duck breast au poivre. If you’ve always wanted to make steak tartare, this breaks it down so you will be enjoying the fruits of your labor. 

If you are looking to enhance your kitchen skills, this is the perfect book for you.
