Andy Baraghani

Andy Baraghani is a cook, food writer, video personality and the author of "The Cook You Want To Be: Everyday Recipes to Impress" 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.
