Chef and social media phenom Laurent Dagenais never imagined that he would one day leave his job in the restaurant business to devote himself exclusively to creating online cooking videos. His nearly wordless clips ooze a cool confidence in the kitchen, with Laurent serving up next-level food, accompanied by a drink and impeccably selected music. Millions of people are following along for the ride.

Now in his highly anticipated debut cookbook Always Hungry! Laurent shares some of his favorite recipes for the first time, including twenty that have gone viral (cue the incredible tacos al pastor, grilled octopus and signature beef tartare). Appealing to both amateur and more advanced cooks alike, you’ll find over 70 recipes ranging from elevated everyday meals like mushroom risotto to showstoppers like prime rib with garlic escargots. He’s also got you covered on salads, soups, sandwiches, fish, desserts and drinks. (Did somebody say Fun Punch?)

This book gives voice to the energetic online presence you know and love. Laurent dips into the vault to share stories and family snapshots, his love of Montreal and -- of course -- out-of-this world food photography. Welcome to his wacky universe.

Laurent Dagenais was born and raised in Montreal where he quickly carved out a space in the culinary scene. With his creativity and one-ofa-kind approach, he has attracted a committed community with more than 3 million followers across his social networks.
