As a fan of what you do on Queer Eye, as a fan of your cooking. I've been lucky enough to taste your cooking.

And then when I heard you were coming out with a cookbook, I was like, this is, it's a match made in heaven. It's a fan made in heaven. It's kids. Are you ready to give away your secrets, though? Um, I am. It was a long time coming. It's still just seeing my face on a book and thinking how much time went into it and just knowing that it's there is like, you know what everything is surreal right now. thrown to thrown. thi everything everything everything everything everything everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thr. thr. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha for the past year and a half. I feel like you're in the business of making people's lives surreal though. That's what you do on queer. That's what makes it such a fun show.

You go around America, you just like get in people's lives. One thing I enjoyed about what you do specifically on the show is is, you connect people with their food. Yes. I feel like has been a disconnect then, I then, I then, I, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, th to. to. th to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th th th th th the. th it is. Why? I think it's so much more than that. I mean, it's how you say, I love you. It's how you say, I'm sorry to someone. It connects you to your roots where you came from. It's how you meet new friends.

Like when you came over, it's the medium for meawn. It's the medium for me. It, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's the the medium, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's how, it's how, it's how, it's how, it's how, it's how, it's how, it's how, it's how, it's how the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to, it's, it's, and I think especially in like, it's a messed up world. Like, it's really a messed up world. And I think that it's an incredible opportunity to just connect with other people and break bread and have conversations. Yeah, quite literally breaking bread. I mean, you know, that's what makes it so. There's no bread recipe in the book, but, you know, that's for the next one. Yeah, but it really is like, you, you, you's a social experience. It's a beautiful vibe that you have a food. You have a connection with the dough.

It really does feel like a love language. You know what I, I've read a lot of cookbooks and normally it's just I read it for the pictures. I'm not actually going to do anything. I do. I just like pictures of like, I just like pictures of like, throwns. I'm like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thin, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, the, the, th. th. th. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. the. the. the. the. th. thea. th. thea. th. th. th. thea. thea. th. thea. the you tell stories of like what it was like for you to come out as gay. You talk about like how your culture affects your food and who you are as a person. Why did you infuse so much of your story into the cooking? I mean I think look queer eye was an opportunity, queer eye is a service job right? We show up for perfect strangers and we try to figure out how we can be of service in such a short amount of time. This was an opportunity to tell my story,

and we were trying to figure out, we spent a lot of time trying to figure out what kind of book we wanted to do. Is it going to be mytea? Is it going to be my Polish heritage? And I realized it's an auto biography. So like stuff I ate when I was a broke-ass student to dishes that I prepare now. And like my Polish heritage, like I was ashamed to be Polish for a pretty big portion of my life and I fell back in love with it and I think that it's incredibly important. And I just wanted to, like every single recipe in that book has a story behind it.

Right, if someone reads this though, and they go, Anthony, look, I love your cooking, right? But I am a horrible, horrible cook. Like, not me, just another person. Someone else. Let's say someone else is saying this right now. They're like, Anthony, I don't know how to cook. And this looks amazing. Like, how easy is it to get this? Because like, it always seems easy. But it's like, like, the pictures are amazing. I mean, like, if you see some, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. Let, let, let, let, let, let, let, I, let, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, let, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, someone, th, someone, th, someone, th, someone, th, th, th, th, someone, th... th. th. Someone, th. Someone, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. than, th. th. th. th. th. than, th. than, than, let's, let's, let's, let's, someone, this. Look at this. Like, look at it. Well, that's like literally five ingredients. There's no excuse for that.

Yeah, I've never seen. This looks like nothing I've ever made ever, ever, like this is. It's fennel and citrus. They go so altogether. No, I mean, look, this. This. this. Look at it, I've never, ruined about 50 chickens trying to figure out how to roast them perfectly until I finally got it right.

I've been making risotto for years and then finally learned that you're not supposed to like mix it vigorously but it's like gently folding it in so that you don't break down the arboreal rice. Wow. It's like it's something that you learn and you nurture it and you know? Wow. Did I just teach you something? Did I just teach you something? That's I just I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just just that I just that I just that I just that I just that I just just that I just just that I just that I just that I just that I just just that I just just just just that I just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just.
