Our cookbook of the week is Second Generation by chef Jeremy Salamon.

Jump to the recipes: körözött (Hungarian pimento cheese), nokedli in chicken broth with so much dill and palacsinta Americana (sweet pancakes).

Jeremy Salamon has long had ambitious goals: writing a cookbook and owning a restaurant. As it turned out, the two fed into each other. The James Beard Award-nominated chef started writing his cookbook debut, Second Generation, in 2018. Unable to find a home for the manuscript, he focused all his attention on his Bib Gourmand-awarded Brooklyn restaurant, Agi’s Counter, which he opened in November 2021 at 27 years old.
