Make magic (and maybe a little bit of chaos) in the kitchen with more than 100 recipes from online sensation Alix Traeger!
If mistakes are for learning from in life, why should the kitchen be any different?
If you've ever added salt to your cookie dough instead of sugar or set off the smoke detector while searing on the stovetop, you are not alone! Internet darling Alix Traeger grew up going viral with BuzzFeed Tasty hands & pans videos--so she's been there and done that. But unlike so many online perfectionists, she believes in letting your blunders lead the way!
Alix's long-awaited debut cookbook, Scratch That, is filled with creative, delicious, decadent recipes--many of which were born from her signature process of trial and error. These recipes are fun and approachable: The book is organized into recognizable categories such as Weekend Breakfast (best served after sleeping in), Dips, Snacks, and Apps (for a party or a party of one), Sweet Treats (for your sweet tooth), and more. Standouts include her soon-to-be-famous Banana Pudding Banana Bread, shareable Sizzled Scallion-Stuffed Flatbread, snackable Potato Chip Onion Rings, go-to Sheet Pan Chicken Shawarma, and tastes-as-good-as-it-looks Heirloom Tomato & Potato Salad with Hot Honey Vinaigrette--perfect for spicing up your feed. Best of all, every single recipe shares a piping HOT TIP from Alix to help you avoid or fix common cooking errors--all of which she learned the hard way, so you don't have to! You're sure to find plenty of new favorites, and as long as you laugh through the (potentially) messy process, you're doing it right!
Perfect for fans of Buzzfeed's Tasty cookbooks or her viral tiktok recipes, Alix Traeger's Scratch That brings a fresh perspective to home cooking that celebrates both successes and failures. The ultimate cookbook for beginners, it offers over 100 approachable recipes alongside practical tips for avoiding (or fixing) common kitchen mishaps. Anyone in search of fun cookbooks will enjoy Traeger's signature blend of humor and practicality that prove making mistakes in the kitchen isn't just okay - it's part of the process!
