The Roker family has always loved to gather in the kitchen – they’ve been cooking and eating together for generations. For the Rokers, food isn’t just for enjoying and sharing, it shapes all their traditions, celebrations, and cherished memories. In Al roker's Recipes to Live By, Al Roker and his daughter, Courtney Roker Laga, welcome you into their home, where a good conversation or a needed dose of laughter always starts with something great to eat.

The recipes in this collection come from the heart of Al’s kitchen. They include breakfast and brunch favorites, mainstay dinners, Southern staples, classic cocktails, and fresh takes on beloved desserts. Whether it’s the keto-inspired grab-and-go breakfast that gets Al through the morning, or the sumptuous cast-iron ribeye steak with Dijon mustard he cooks for quiet suppers with his wife, or Courtney’s fresh all-in-one-bowl meal of chicken shawarma, or his daughter Leila’s special sangria, the recipes in this book will inspire you to start cooking and gathering folks around your own table. This collection goes beyond family favorites to include recipes from Al’s food-loving friends, including some of the country’s best celebrity chefs.
