A Little Bit Extra: 100 Recipes That Serve Up Something Special

**Through 100 original recipes, Reilly Meehan's debut cookbook gives the inspiration and instruction to bring that luxurious private chef quality to your own meals.**
Chef Reilly Meehan is known on social media for giving you a behind-the-scenes look at his work as a private chef, sharing dishes that rely on flavor-boosting tricks and special touches. Now, he’s helping you make every meal *A Little Bit Extra* by letting you in on the secrets he relies on to impress his clients, meal after meal. These dishes lean on popular flavors and ingredients, but always feature a twist that enhances their color, flavor, or texture, taking them from really good to exceptionally awesome.
Sure, happy hour with **Gruyère and Parm Cheese Puffs** sounds great, but wait until you plop some pimento cheese dip on top. Everyone loves avocado on a **Crab, Grilled Corn** , and **Butter Lettuce Salad with Avocado** , but frying your avo wedges adds a pop of crispy, golden flair.
Ever had pasta fresh from your own kitchen? **Two Pork Beer Ragu with Papardelle** is your chance. These chapters that serve up everything from cocktails including Reilly’s Instagram-famous **Dill Vesper Martini** to sides, salads to soups like **Garlicky Bread Soup** (because sometimes simple is best), and mains to sweet treats like a **Black Sesame Tahini Swirl Cake with Sautéed Cherries**.
*A Little Bit Extra* is the next best option when you don’t have a private chef in your kitchen, but want every meal to taste like you do!
