Recipes for its Debut Cookbook
Featuring recipes from America’s most acclaimed chefs and celebrating 250 years of
American cuisine
WASHINGTON, DC – July 27, 2026 - After more than a decade of telling the stories of
the world's greatest chefs, Chef’s Table is opening an exciting new chapter. Today, the
team behind the Emmy Award-winning Netflix series Chef's Table announces the launch
of pre-orders for its first-ever cookbook: The American Table.
Created as the official cookbook for America’s 250th birthday, The American Table
features recipes and stories from the country's most celebrated chefs, celebrating 250
years of American cuisine through the people, traditions, and flavors that continue to
shape it. The American Table will serve as a culinary time capsule of the United States.
Curated by the Chef's Table team alongside Jamila Robinson, editor-in-chief of Bon
Appétit and Epicurious, The American Table explores American cuisine as a story of
migration, memory, reinvention, and hospitality. Featuring recipes from some of the
nation’s most acclaimed chefs, the collection captures how America cooks today while
preserving the flavors and stories shaping its future.
"American food is defined by a relentless spirit of reinvention and shared culture," said
Justin Connor, President of Chef's Table Projects. "To mark America's 250th milestone,
we are celebrating the extraordinary chefs and communities who are writing the next
chapter of American cuisine. It’s an honor to bring this vision to life by sharing this
defining collection of nation-wide recipes in our new cookbook for you to experience at
home."
"To cook in America is to speak a vibrant language of creativity and tradition," said
Jamila Robinson, editor-in-chief of Bon Appétit and Epicurious. "This book reveals the
beauty, brilliance, and diverse minds behind the country's most renowned kitchens."
Chef’s Table fans and culinary enthusiasts can reserve their copies immediately. The
American Table is available in hardcover. It retails for $75 and is available now for pre-
