Tom Colicchio Instagram – My new book, many years in the making, is finally here. I’m proud to share that WHY I COOK, which is part memoir and part cookbook, will be released in October 2024. You can preorder your copy today and I’m also signing a limited number of copies for @barnesandnoble so get yours before they sell out. Visit the link in my bio to find where you can preorder, no matter where you live.
During the pandemic I had plenty of time to think about the future. My future as a chef, the future of restaurants, both my own and the industry as a whole, and the legacy I want to pass down for future generations. This led to a lot of soul searching about what my career has meant to me. I figured it was finally time to tell that story. This is the story of my life, from the swim club in Elizabeth, New Jersey, where I flipped burgers as a teenager, to my first restaurant jobs in New York City, and to the judges’ table of Top Chef. The recipes included throughout the book are ones I love to make at home for my family and friends. These dishes make up the memories of my life and I hope they create memories for you too.
Thank you to my team @artisan_books and @joshuadavidstein. I’m planning to head out on tour this fall, and I hope to see a lot of you out there. Stay tuned for information about dates and locations. | Posted on 15/May/2024 20:19:57
