When Its Time To Cook, Cook

There's a difference between throwing something together and really cooking.
This book is about that difference.

When It's Time to Cook, Cook is not a chef's manual or a trendy cookbook—it's a real-kitchen guide built on memory, repetition, and respect for flavor. These are the dishes that show up at family tables, holidays, and weeknights alike—and they're written so you can run them back and get the same result every time.

Inside, you'll find recipes that don't hide behind complexity. Instead, they focus on timing, seasoning, heat, and intention—the things that actually make food hit. From Sunday pot roast and skillet-kissed meatloaf to baked mac and cheese, collard greens, cornbread dressing, and the signature Cho's 333 Sweet Potato Pie, this book teaches you how to cook food that people remember.

What makes this book different:

This isn't about being fancy.
It's about showing up for the plate.

Whether you're feeding yourself, your family, or a full table, When It's Time to Cook, Cook gives you the confidence to slow down, season with purpose, and cook food that feels like it belongs.

Don't halfway it.
When it's time to cook—cook cook.
