DEAN & DELUCA Unveils First Cookbook

On October 31, 2025, the renowned food retailer DEAN & DELUCA will launch its first cookbook, titled Prepared Food Cookbook. This release is not merely a compilation of recipes; it encapsulates the culinary philosophy of the brand, focusing on the joy of eating and living through food.

Founded in 1977 in SoHo, New York by Joel Dean and Giorgio DeLuca, DEAN & DELUCA has always been committed to the mantra of 'Living With Food', which emphasizes that eating is an essential part of experiencing life. As the brand approaches significant milestones—its 50th anniversary in 2027 and the 25th anniversary of its entry into the Japanese market in 2028—this cookbook serves as a celebration of its journey, bringing its core philosophy closer to food enthusiasts around the globe.

A Culinary Journey with 69 Recipes

The Prepared Food Cookbook invites readers to explore a collection of 69 thoughtfully curated recipes that showcase seasonal ingredients and international food cultures. Each recipe reflects DEAN & DELUCA's commitment to quality, aesthetic presentation, and the beauty of cooking. From classic dishes like Quiche Lorraine and Lasagna to vibrant seasonal Caprese salads, the book provides a variety of options that cater to diverse tastes and preferences.

Each recipe is designed not just to nourish the body but also to enrich the spirit, embodying the key concepts of visual beauty, cultural respect, and harmony in flavors. The brand's creative approach to food is captured in five essential themes that guide the book’s structure:
1. Visual Beauty of Ingredients
2. Respect for Global Food Cultures
3. Cross-Over Techniques
4. Layers of Fresh Ingredients
5. Preserving Flavor and Aesthetic Integrity

This cookbook is more than just a collection of recipes; it serves as a guide for readers to embrace the simple joys of cooking and to live richly through their culinary experiences. Each page inspires a harmonious relationship with food and encourages readers to get creative in the kitchen.
