About_1.jpg

Andy Baraghani is a cook, food writer, video personality, and the author of The Cook You Want To Be. Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Andy grew up watching a lot of cooking shows on PBS while learning to cook at home under the careful supervision of his mother (and with the help of a footstool). His experiences at the legendary Chez Panisse and Estela cemented his love for cooking, and his bold, highly achievable flavors became his signature cooking style during his time as a food editor at Bon Appétit. Andy lives in New York City with his extensive mortar and pestle collection.

 
 

As the talent behind many of Bon Appetit’s viral recipes--favorites like Cauliflower Bolognese, Tahini Ranch, and Ramen Noodles with Miso Pesto--Baraghani creates wow-factor flavors, delivers beautiful and satisfying meals with minimal fuss, and recasts well-known dishes in utterly delicious ways.
