The much-anticipated cookbook from the Michelin–starred Brooklyn restaurant from chef Nick Curtola, LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy, and James Beard Award–winning natural wine pioneer Justin Chearno

In 2014, four friends with practically zero restaurant experience between them naively decided to open a restaurant in New York City. They called the place The Four Horsemen, and they hired a largely unknown chef, Nick Curtola, to lead its tiny kitchen.

Even though they did almost everything wrong at the start, The Four Horsemen now has a Michelin star, a waiting list for tables seven nights a week, and a James Beard Award for the best wine program in the United States.

In his debut cookbook, Curtola explains his approach to simplicity with warmth, clarity, and more than 100 recipes. Meanwhile, natural wine pioneer Justin Chearno and his fellow horsemen Randy Moon, Christina Topsøe, and James Murphy share the story of the restaurant, along with suggestions related to a subject on which they were experts years before they built the place: how to sit around a table and have a bit of fun. Welcome to The Four Horsemen.

Nick Curtola is the head chef of the Four Horsemen. Raised in Northern California, where he attended culinary school and trained under Camino’s Russell Moore, Curtola would later spend time in Piedmont, Italy, butchering goats and making pasta by hand, before eventually moving to New York. After working at the dearly departed Franny’s, Curtola settled down at the Four Horsemen, where he has been cooking for the last seven years. Gabe Ulla is the co-author of Ignacio Mattos’s debut cookbook Estela and David Chang’s New York Times–bestselling memoir Eat a Peach. His articles on food and culture have appeared in WSJ Magazine, Town & Country, Saveur, and The New Yorker. Justin Chearno is the wine director of the Four Horsemen. A Brooklyn resident, he turned Williamsburg’s UVA into one of the most influential wine shops in the United States in the early 2000s, well before anyone cared about natural wine. James Murphy is the renowned musician, DJ, singer, songwriter, and record producer behind LCD Soundsystem and the founder of the Four Horsemen.
