Let's Get Cooking - by Remi Cruz Parsons (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Remi Cruz Parsons, social media star behind the multi-platform Cooking with Remi, shares her first cookbook, filled with flavorful and accessible recipes for having fun in the kitchen no matter your skill level.

Growing up in a Korean American household in Southern California, Remi's earliest memories were steeped in the flavors and creativity of her mother's cooking. Dishes like Korean short ribs and kimchi pancakes filled the family table, fostering a deep cultural appreciation that would later fuel her passion for food. When she began her own solo cooking adventure, trial and error evolved into a joyful exploration of recipes allowing Remi to become inventive in the kitchen.

Since 2021, Remi has captured her journey on her multi-platform brand Cooking with Remi but now, she invites us to discover our own confidence in the kitchen with Let's Get Cooking. Packed with big flavor and approachable recipes, this cookbook features everything from grab-and-go breakfasts like Galaxy Brownie Overnight Oats, to crowd-pleasing staples such as Spicy Salmon and Avocado on Crispy Rice for birthdays, Bacon Cheese Dip with Fried Pita Bread for girl's nights, Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings for game nights, and decadent sweets like World's Best Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies, and much more!

With diverse recipes, vivid and mouth-watering photography, and Remi's infectious personality woven throughout, Let's Get Cooking will inspire novice and seasoned cooks to savor the joy of cooking and create connections through food.
