This is a CookBook

Get into the kitchen. Learn to cook real good food. Make it crazy delicious. And don’t be too worried about a little mess. In “This is a Cookbook: Recipes for Real Life”, culinary brothers Max and Eli Sussman – Brooklyn-based chefs – share more than 60 killer recipes that demystify the cooking process for at-home chefs, call on everyday ingredients, and pack in tips for how to make life in the kitchen easier and frankly, more fun ; no matter how small your kitchen.

This creative, digitally enhanced cookbook includes step-by-step guides for cooking techniques, behind-the-scenes audio interviews and photo shoots, and even music to enjoy with your food. The chapters are organized by meals and events, like “Lazy Brunch,” “Midnight Snacks,” and “Night In,” and in addition to recipes, give tutorials for important skills like home-making bacon.

The audio tracks littered throughout the e-book are used by the authors to give fun background tidbits and share the stories behind the recipes. This desire to share a bit of themselves through their recipes was, in fact, a big factor in Max and Eli’s decision to create an e-book. But the feature that really makes this book shine is the iTunes playlists tailored for each menu—they’re embedded in the cookbook and allow you to purchase the songs directly from iTunes.
