“I used to keep it so separate,” chef Melissa King explains, “Cantonese cooking at home, and then the sort of French, Italian cooking that I was doing in my career in all these Michelin kitchens.” But being on Top Chef showed her she could bring it all together—and her new cookbook, Cook Like a King, is full of Melissa’s signature recipes. In this episode of The Dinner Plan, Melissa shares dinner party tips and easy weeknight favorites.
