Bobby Flay, the popular chef, restaurateur and television personality, calls his latest book, “Bobby at Home,” his most meaningful because it covers the dishes he likes to cook and serve in his New York apartment and his house in the Hamptons. It offers a solid repertory for mostly casual home cooking any time, if you don’t plan a deep dive into Asian cuisine. You’ll find Spanish potato tortilla, slow-cooked salmon, crispy scallion-coconut rice, eggplant Bolognese, spatchcocked chicken, crostatas, brownies and chocolate chip cookies. But do not forget the pomegranate-glazed bacon. The recipes are straightforward, there are pantry and equipment lists, and cocktail formulas are organized according to spirit. I only wish you did not have to turn the page in the middle of some of the recipes.
“Bobby at Home: Fearless Flavors From My Kitchen,” Clarkson Potter $32.50.
