For Peter Som, nothing is quite as satisfying as the moment when everyone is gathered around the table and platters of food are set down for everyone to dig into together. In
Family Style
, Peter pays homage to his identity and heritage, with more than 100 powerfully flavorful recipes for breakfasts, dinners, desserts, and more—all unfussy, comforting, and creative. Perfect for an everyday meal at home, yet sophisticated, elegant, and visually stunning to impress any guest.
At the heart of each of the 100 recipes in
Family Style
are imaginative and personally unique flavor combinations. There are beloved nods to his grandma’s Cantonese flavor profiles, his mom’s deep love of French food, nods to his Bay Area upbringing, and desserts that are “not too sweet”—the highest compliment in his family—and more, with recipes including:
Burnt Miso Cinnamon Toast
Crispy Deviled Tea Eggs
Radicchio and Fennel Salad with Creamy Miso Maple Vinaigrette
Roasted Carrots with Gochujang Honey Butter
Cacio e Pepe Sticky Rice with Egg
Hoisin Honey Roast Chicken
Char Siu Bacon Cheeseburger
Chickpea Bourguignon
Lychee Lime Pavlova
A reflection of Peter’s signature sensibility,
Family Style
is a beautiful and joyful invitation to celebrate with the flavors of his life.
Peter Som
Food has always been central in Peter’s life, as he grew up in San Francisco cooking with his mother and his grandmother, as their Chinese heritage and California upbringing informed Peter’s cooking and his approach to food. During Peter’s high-octane fashion years, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist and two-time CFDA Emerging Designer Award nominee spent much of his free time using cooking and food as a way to align, focus and decompress.
In 2019, Peter launched
The Extra Taste
, a culinary- focused vertical on
petersom.com
, which occupies a unique space at the intersection of the worlds of fashion, food, interiors, design and more. On
The Extra Taste
, Peter publishes weekly recipes, pantry and cooking content, and offers design and entertaining advice, beloved by his
3 million Pinterest
followers. Peter’s recipes and entertaining tips have been featured in top tier publications including
The Today Show
