New e-cookbook offers simple chef recipes

Home Comforts: Simple Lockdown Recipes From The World’s Best Chefs And Bartenders is the title of the first e-cookbook by the organisation behind The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. The cookbook features dishes that chefs cook at home for their families.

The cookbook contains 50 recipes from chefs who have been featured on the 50 best list, alongside 25 cocktail pairings from bartenders behind The World’s 50 Best Bars. The result is a collection of simple and delicious food creations, from Tokyo to San Francisco, split into categories of vegetarian, fish and seafood, meat and dessert. Whether it’s Alain Passard’s inspired veg-led cookery, Daniela Soto-Innes’ versatile mole, Manu Buffara’s Sunday family favourite or Vicky Lau’s brilliant bao, Home Comforts offers something to suit any amateur cook and every palate.

Available for a minimum donation of US$10 (311 baht) through the 50 Best Bid for Recovery donation site, the e-book will raise funds to support the global hospitality community as part of the 50 Best for Recovery programme announced earlier this year. The release of Home Comforts coincides with the impending “Bid For Recovery” Auction of out-of-this-world gastronomic experiences and rare items. Bidding on the auction closes on July 12 at 50BestForRecovery.com.

The organisation also is launching the #50BestRateMyPlate Instagram challenge for food lovers to create and post dishes inspired by those in the Home Comforts recipe book. Every week for five weeks from July 20, 50 Best will choose its favourite three #50BestRateMyPlate dishes and share it with followers, who will then vote on their preferred dish. The plate with the most votes in that week will become a finalist and win the chance to be judged by a panel of 50 Best chefs in late August. The winner will receive two VIP tickets to The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards event in Antwerp, Flanders in 2021.

The e-cookbook is available at theworlds50best.com/recovery, as well as via Instagram @TheWorlds50Best and Facebook @50BestRestaurants.
