All Hours: Crazy Good Food for Whatever, Whenever: A Cookbook

James Beard Award–winning chef Kwame Onwuachi — the force behind Tatiana, named New York City's #1 restaurant by the New York Times — doesn't cook on a conventional clock, and neither does this cookbook. All Hours is organized around when you're actually hungry, not around breakfast-lunch-dinner convention.

Organized by craving, not by mealtime

• Morning Glories — Corn Milk French Toast, Perfect Pancakes, Bodega BEC
• Top Shelf Snacks — Curried Chicken Patties, Creole Sausage Roll-Ups, Souped-Up Top Ramen
• New Favorite Dinners — Drunken Noodles alla Vodka, Cookout Lasagna, Berbere Chicken
• Desserts — Cosmic Brownie, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Half-and-Half Icee

Expect bold, cross-cultural mash-ups rather than restaurant-replica recipes — dishes built for a quiet night in, a backyard cookout, or 2 a.m. when nothing in the fridge looks interesting. Photographed throughout, it's a strong next pick for readers who already have a chef-driven cookbook on the shelf and want one that doesn't take itself too seriously.
