LESS IS MORE

In her first book, Cook This Book: Techniques That Teach and Recipes to Repeat, Molly taught readers the cooking basics. Her next book More Is More: Get Loose in the Kitchen encouraged readers to take chances while cooking; to turn up the heat, throw in more chili flake and use the whole bunch of herbs. More Is More was a maximalist’s flavor fever dream.

This year, Molly and her husband welcomed their first child and with her next book Less Is More, Molly is embracing the simple side of cooking. Using her chef’s palate and signature style, Molly guides readers to quicker, simpler meals that still have Molly Baz flavor. This book will include composed meals that zoosh up store bought basics like rotisserie chicken, quick pantry pastas that come together in one pot in under 30 minutes, and even magical things you can do with toast.

Molly Baz is a New York Times bestselling cookbook author, recipe developer and video host whose number one goal in life is to convince the world that cooking is fun, and not that hard to do if you’re properly set up. When she’s not writing books, Molly hosts a subscription digital recipe club, The Club, where she drops weekly new recipes for her fans. When she’s not doing that, you can find her at home sipping on a glass of Drink This Wine, (that’s her natural wine company!) in her butter-colored kitchen filming her hit Youtube series “Hit The Kitch,” a casual, never-too-serious, but always educational cooking show. Molly lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Ben, and their teeny-tiny weenie dog, Tuna.
