Daniel Humm and Will Guidara•

It'll take dedication, but you can pull off Michelin star–quality meals at home with the help of (and, again, solid commitment to) award-winning chef Daniel Humm and restaurateur Will Guidera's third cookbook. The culinary and creative minds behind Eleven Madison Park (plus legendary mixologist Leo Robitschek) come together once more for The NoMad Cookbook, a collection of recipes from the beloved New York City hotel restaurant.

And hey, just because the food's fancy doesn't mean a relatively simple fruit and cheese salad can't make an appearance. Whip this up for your next dinner shindig and revel in the oohs and ahhs of your guests.
