On the surface, you might think that this is just another one of those fancy, cheffy cookbooks thats mostly about brand and ego, with no clue about the challenges a home cook faces. You might think that because those books are often really beautiful with high production values and this book is like that, too: sophisticated layout, glossy pages, gorgeous photography. But start at the beginning and slowly page through and you will start to see that these recipes are doable — very doable. Simple, elegant, but not overly refined, this cookbook inspires rather than thrills; it impresses rather than boasts."- THE KITCHN"This is a big book with big photos and big ideas. . .

Excerpt from Book Porcini Braised Chicken Thighs SERVES 6 TO 8 This is a rustic one-pot meal to serve directly out of the Dutch oven in which it is cooked. Porcini mushrooms have an earthy, savory quality that combines with the stock, wine, and concentrated meat flavor from the thighs to create a lovely richness. The contrast of crisp skin against tender braised meat and soft vegetables is fantastic as well. I recommend using this recipe to learn how to braise. If you dont have a Dutch oven, its possible to sear the chicken in a large sauté pan, transfer it to a roasting pan to finish cooking in the oven, and serve it in a pretty casserole dish. This simple meal is all about balance, and people are always impressed by how delicious it is. I dont always save the vegetables from a braise because they often wind up limp and soggy, but these are very much worth eating. 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1½ cups sliced, peeled carrot, on the bias in 3-inch pieces 3 cups roughly chopped yellow onion, in 1½-inch pieces 1½ cups roughly chopped celery, in 2-inch pieces 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms 10 cloves garlic 3 thyme sprigs 2 fresh or 4 dried bay leaves 12 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, at room temperature 2 to 3 tablespoons salt 3 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 4 cups homemade stock or other high-quality stock 1 cup dry white wine In a large Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the carrot, onion, and celery and sauté for 6 to 7 minutes, until the vegetables get some color. Add the porcini, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves and mix to combine. Turn off the heat but leave the Dutch oven on the burner. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Season each chicken thigh with 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 teaspoon salt (depending on its size; a large thigh will weigh about 10 ounces and a small one about 6 ounces) and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. Heat a black steel pan over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat until the surface is rippling but not smoking. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, add 4 chicken thighs, skin side down, and lower the heat slightly, to medium-high. Weight down the thighs with a heavy plate to create an even sear across the entire surface and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until evenly golden but not too dark in any spots. Check after the first 1 to 2 minutes to ensure no black spots are forming and lower the heat as needed. Place the thighs, skin side up, in a single layer in the Dutch oven and repeat two more times with the remaining oil and chicken thighs, rinsing the pan and wiping it completely dry after each batch. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the stock and wine to a simmer. Pour the stock mixture into the Dutch oven; the edges of the chicken should be submerged but the skin should be exposed. Its important not to cover the chicken skin completely or it wont get crisp. Cover with a tight-fitting lid (or with aluminum foil if using a roasting pan), place in the oven, and cook for 11⁄4 hours, or until the chicken is completely tender. Turn up the oven temperature to 400°F, remove the cover, and continue to cook until the chicken skin is crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, discard the thyme sprigs as best you can, and serve directly from the pot.
