NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This stunning cookbook collects 100 of the most timeless and seminal recipes from the first leg of Bobby Flay’s monumental career in one place, for the first time ever.

At the age of sixteen, Bobby Flay left high school and the idea of traditional education behind to pursue a life in professional restaurant kitchens. Through his groundbreaking restaurants, cookbooks, and numerous television shows, Flay has built a body of work that is one of the most influential in American culinary history. His stamp can be felt in restaurants across the country, as well as at the dinner table in many families’ homes.
 
Bobby Flay: Chapter One captures one hundred of Flay’s most important food moments, updated for today’s modern home cook and accompanied by breathtaking photography from Johnny Miller.

Add Black Rice Paella with Shellfish and Scallion Relish to your Sunday dinner table, or tuck into Spanish-style Steak Frites with Cabrales Blue Cheese, Smoked Paprika Fries, and Rioja Red Wine Sauce.
