From next-gen culinary phenom and TikTok superstar Jeremy Scheck, easy and delicious recipes for every day and beyond—plus expert tips to make you a better, happier cook.

Jeremy Scheck has charmed a new generation of home cooks with his simple yet remarkably tasty recipes and his reliable culinary know-how. Now, in this stunning and personal book brimming with approachable recipes and step-by-step guidance, Jeremy shares the building blocks of what he calls culinary literacy: understanding why a recipe works and empowering readers to cook with confidence every day.

Recipes are designed to minimise single-use ingredients and equipment (for example, all baking recipes are no-mixer-required), encouraging versatility with easily available essentials and Jeremy’s favourite kitchen staples. Organised by course, recipes include:

  • Honey Lemon Chicken
  • Coca-Cola Braised Brisket
  • Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
  • Maple Za’atar Carrots
  • Sheet Pan Teriyaki Salmon and Veggies
  • Mac and Cheese Orzo
  • Pretzel Blondies

Invaluable primers throughout offer simple explanations of age-old techniques and food science facts, such as how to get the perfect creamy pasta sauce, how to make leftover veggie soup without a recipe, why you need brown butter in your life (and in your cookies!), and why a little sweetness is the secret to the best roast chicken.

With this must-have kitchen companion, everyone can learn the basics of cooking simple but delicious food, whether it’s your first cookbook or it’s joining a full shelf of dog-eared and sauce-stained classics.

ScheckEats—Cooking Smarter is an essential guide that brings ease and joy to everyday cooking.
