Matty Matheson, celebrity chef and star of FX’s restaurant dramedy “The Bear,” has released a free digital cookbook via WeTransfer.
The book, “Cookin’ Somethin’ for College,” features 12 easy-to-make recipes geared toward Gen Z and college students. The recipes range from the “ultimate” breakfast sandwich to peanut butter instant noodles with sesame fried egg. For dessert, there’s a salted chocolate mousse, bread pudding with chocolate hazelnut spread and peanut butter, and deluxe mint chocolate brownies.
“Cookin’ Somethin’ for College” is available to download now via WeTransfer. To accompany the book, Matheson will demonstrate how to cook four of the dishes in his 12-episode original YouTube series, “Cookin’ Somethin’.”
“College is a formative moment, maybe one of the most important of your life!” Matheson writes in the cookbook. “You can totally reinvent yourself and be who you really want to be. Look at me. I was a punk kid who was terrible in school then I went to culinary school, found what I loved and became a chef. And I think that’s amazing. Contained in this cookbook are 12 recipes that I wanted to share with you while you’re out there in the world, figuring stuff out. XO Matty.”
Matheson is a two-time New York Times bestselling author for “Matty Matheson: A Cookbook” and “Home Style Cookery.” He started his own food and music festival, Mattyfest, in 2019 and launched five restaurants in under two years: Matty’s Patty’s, Fonda Balam, Ca Phe Rang, Prime Seafood Palace and Rizzo’s House of Parm. He is also the co-founder of the Toronto-based workwear brand Rosa Rugosa. He is an actor and executive producer on FX’s “The Bear,” which saw him expand the role of Neil Fak in Season 2.
