ALL ACTION BRONSON WANTS IS FOR YOU TO BE HAPPY. The charismatic
rapper, Viceland TV show host, professional dropper of f-bombs, and now cookbook author hopes that his new book, F*ck That's Delicious, will inspire you to cook a little more. "I just want people to call friends over and make some stuff out of the book -- learn how to cook for themselves and overall be happy," Bronson says over the phone. And he genuinely means it.
Bronson's deep satisfaction from food comes through in every page of the book, which is both a travelogue about best things he has eaten around the world and an incredible range of recipes for the home cook, from simple noodles with paprika and feta to meaty caramel beef ribs to the less indulgent golden beet poke.
While Bronson has hung around some of the best chefs across the globe, a lot of his recipes are homages to his mom and his grandma, directly inspired by growing up in Queens, New York. His mom's challah is one of his favorite recipes, in part because making bread at home is incredibly rewarding, Bronson says: "It's like doing a science project and you're satisfied with yourself when it works, when the light turns or the volcano explodes. You're like, 'Damn, OK!'" The best moment for Bronson comes when you brush the bread with melted butter. "There is something about it that gives you a tingly feeling in your lower regions," he adds with a laugh. https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/action-bronson-truffle-burger-recipe/food-and-drink
