Steamed

Rachel and Tara have a clever, stealthy strategy in Steamed–to help you let loose via a fun, global collection of recipes that also teach. They get you through the daily challenges of life with humor and practical insights.–Andrea Nguyen, author of Vietnamese Food Any DaySo many of us (myself included) cook to escape the insanity of the world-I can’t imagine a better way to channel our collective stress than Steamed!–Maile Carpenter, editor-in-chief, Food Network MagazineThis book is exactly what I need right now–not another ode to food as love and bla bla bla. Duggan and Levin get at the real reason we say cooking is therapy: so we can pound, slash, spear…and still make delicious, satisfying (extremely satisfying!) food.–Jenny Rosenstrach, New York Times best-selling author of Dinner: A Love Story
