When it comes to creating the perfect meal, the best cooks know when it’s time to go off the book.

Culinary expert Serena Wolf returns with a celebration of individualism in the kitchen, designed to boost creativity and confidence, one recipe at a time.

Nothing kills appetites—and enthusiasm—faster than following rigid rules for cooking. But changing things up can also feel risky. What if you end up ruining a meal by changing something in a recipe? Crafting a delicious meal should be an activity that, first and foremost, feels good.

You Do You features flexible, flavor-packed recipes that are incredible as written but designed to be tweaked endlessly, with tons of substitution options to help get your creative juices flowing and encourage customization. With Serena’s warm guidance, you’ll feel like you have a trusted friend and teacher in your kitchen, helping you fix any hiccups as you have fun making each recipe your own.

On your adventure through fluffy frittatas, crispy quesadillas, and juicy reverse-seared steak, unlock your inner culinary genius by:

• Understanding how to tailor any recipe to personal tastes and dietary restrictions
• Getting innovative with the ingredients you have on hand (instead of letting them go to waste or needing to run out to the grocery store)
• Confidently tweaking meals and reimagining dishes in countless ways
• Learning a variety of “little lessons to live by”—foundational techniques, tips, and tricks that will equip you to cook amazing meals on the fly with no recipe

With recipes from staple breakfasts and one-pan meals for busy weeknights to cocktails and fancier fare, You Do You is a cookbook for everyone, from beginners to seasoned home chefs alike. Because everyone is different—and that’s a beautiful thing!
