Nick released his highly anticipated debut cookbook, Knife Drop: Creative Recipes Anyone Can Cook on June 13, 2023. The instructions are simple, and DiGiovanni’s light humor (“I’m convinced nuggets taste better in dinosaur form,” he says of the dino chicken nuggets) and anecdotes (“My grandpa taught my brothers and me to catch blue crabs when we were little, so this dish always reminds me of him,” he says of the crab and artichoke dip with Old Bay crostini) add charm. I am always on the lookout for exciting new cookbooks--either to gift to others at the holidays or to endanger our increasingly groaning shelves of cookbooks.I explained the chemistry behind this to my son before doing it for the review and, as predicted, hot grease exploded all over my kitchen. Yes, he’s drop dead gorgeous, and the first one or two times the knife hits the chopping board in one of his reels we take a short gasp, but after that, we feel more blasé than entertained.

Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect from this book, but now that I’ve read it, I can see why Gordon Ramsay was willing to put his name on it and supply a foreword. Compost’ takes on a new meaning in Nick’s cookie recipe, the accompanying photo showing a single cookie bearing hand emerging from a bed of pretzels, chips and smarties AKA pantry ‘compost’. Building on a foundation of staple recipes such as basic pasta dough and homemade butter, Nick shares a mouthwatering selection of his favorite recipes. My son loves this YouTuber and asked me to read his cookbook and review it, so of course I said yes!To be sure, there are several recipes in here that look just as impressive as anything you might find in a Michelin-starred restaurant, but with relatively simple ingredients and techniques accessible to home chefs.
