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. Now culinary creator, lifestyle expert and award-winning fashion designer Som releases Family Style, a cookbook of 100 recipes with unique and creative flavor combinations, paying homage to his identity, heritage and family.

He’s got powerfully flavorful recipes for breakfasts, dinners, desserts and more—all unfussy, comforting and creative. Perfect, he says, 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, 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, and Lychee Lime Pavlova.

Join us to hear from this entertainment and lifestyle authority whose brand of effortless sophistication stems from his many years helming his own award-winning fashion brand.
