There’s no shortage of excellent books about the history of cooking and food, from comprehensive overviews of cuisine to dedicated cookbooks packed with delicious recipes. The latest release from Artisan Publishers falls squarely into the latter category, presenting a range of recipes from classic home cooking guaranteed to impress friends and family. A Man & His Kitchen: Classic Home Cooking and Entertaining with Style at the Wm Brown Farm is both a personal and intimate book about a passion for food, as well as a must-have selection of recipes.

Written by the bestselling author Matt Hranek (‘A Man and His Watch’ by Matt Hranek – IMBOLDN), this book shares his unique insights into food and what makes for a hit at dinner parties. Eschewing complex and overly refined dishes in favor of classic crowd-pleasers, the book nevertheless covers an impressive range of recipes. Standard fare, such as roast chicken with potatoes and American diner-style omelets, is complemented by lobster rolls, vinegar-braised short ribs, and porcini risotto.

In addition to an abundance of recipes, A Man & His Kitchen: Classic Home Cooking and Entertaining with Style at the Wm Brown Farm also explores the author’s shopping strategies and essential pantry staples. If you’re looking for classic cookware or want to avoid wasting leftovers, there’s a wealth of advice here you can take on board.

Packed with beautiful photographs and presented in a large hardcover edition, A Man & His Kitchen: Classic Home Cooking and Entertaining with Style at the Wm Brown Farm is another essential book for home cooking enthusiasts.
