Make It, Don't Buy It

A cookbook for people who want to cook better food, spend less, and rediscover the joy of cooking.

Matt Remoroza isn’t a chef, he’s a home cook just like you, and he absolutely loves to cook.

Cooking should be easy and fun! It also shouldn’t break your budget. Matt Remoroza is a believer that recipes should be easy enough for anyone to make, and they should always use simple ingredients everyone can afford. Through his @morocooks TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube channels, Matt has built a following of over 2 million loyal fans who love his delicious recipes and his quirky, offbeat sense of humor.

In Make It, Don't Buy It!, Matt creates a range of flavors that go from comforting (Biscuits and Gravy, Mac and Cheese, Griddle Cake Sausage Egg and Cheese) to adventurous (Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, Crispy Skin Pork Belly, Ricotta Gnocchi with Walnut Pesto) to the unexpected (Kimchi Pancakes, Dan Dan Noodles, Honey-Vanilla Marshmallows). Matt will teach you how to make foundational ingredients you can use in a broad range of recipes, how to shop for key ingredients, and how to make incredible food for less money. You'll even learn how to make copycat beverages like Masala Chai and Royal Hot Chocolate that are way better than anything you'll find at a coffee house and also way less expensive. 

With over 100 recipes, Make It, Don't Buy It! will inspire you to cook more, eat out less, and create amazing food that is better than anything you'll find at a restaurant or in the frozen aisle in a grocery store. Best of all, you'll rediscover the joy of cooking at home and also save some time and a little money in the process.
