The Kitchen Cookbook: Cooking for Your Community
“Get Kimbal's cook book, it's really awesome.”
Why it is worth your time
The Kitchen Cookbook is Kimbal Musk's 2024 collection of more than 100 recipes from The Kitchen, the restaurant he co-founded in Boulder, Colorado, in 2004, with locations since added in Denver and Chicago. The recipes are seasonal American bistro dishes, from tomato soup and roast chicken to sticky toffee pudding, and most link to short technique videos. Musk also co-founded Big Green, a nonprofit that builds school gardens; he is Elon Musk's younger brother. Jason posted about it in March 2024 and told followers to get it. It is the only cookbook on his list and the least connected to his usual themes of founders and investing, although Kimbal is part of the circle Jason moves in. It suits home cooks who want restaurant recipes written for a domestic kitchen. The caveat is that it is a restaurant cookbook, built around the signature dishes of Musk's The Kitchen bistros.
