Jason Santos, the blue-haired celebrity chef behind Buttermilk & Bourbon, Citrus & Salt and Nash Bar & Stage has the perfect gift for the chef in your life — his latest cookbook, Simple Fancy: A Chef’s Big-Flavor Recipes for Easy Weeknight Cooking is on sale now, just in time for the holiday season.
Santos somehow found the time between his busy restaurants, appearing as Gordon Ramsay’s sous chef on “Hell’s Kitchen” and welcoming a daughter in August to pull together this colorful collection of easy, everyday recipes that are — like Santos himself — fancy without being fussy, including Hawaiian-Style Tuna Poke, Blue Crab Empanadas, and Best Clam Chowder Evah with Black Pepper Bacon Bits and Smoked Oyster Crackers.
You can grab a copy of Simple Fancy online or at any of Santos’ restaurants, or wherever books are sold, for $22. As an extra bonus for shopping locally, if you spend $100 on gift cards at any of Santos’ locations, you’ll get a signed copy of the book for free!
