Andy Baraghani is a beloved chef, recipe developer, food personality, and author of The Cook You Want To Be (May 2022). A child of Iranian immigrants and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Andy had an interest in food from a young age, which evolved into a deep obsession. At 15, he joined the kitchen at legendary Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California, and then acclaimed New York restaurant Estela. After spending years in professional kitchens, Andy pivoted to become a food writer and test kitchen cook at outlets like Saveur and Tasting Table, before joining Bon Appétit as a longtime senior editor and viral video host (notably of Bon Appetit’s Andy Explores series that has millions of views). During his six years at Bon Appetit, Andy developed hundreds of recipes – sometimes traveling for weeks to research a story – and helped launch several brand verticals to bring millions of readers to the magazine. Through all of these deep culinary experiences, coupled with his eye for design, Andy developed his unique style of simple, deeply flavorful, and oftentimes unexpected, recipes.
