The Book – Atlas
Atlas, the newest cookbook from Chef Freddy Money of Atlanta’s Michelin-starred Atlas restaurant, which has earned a Michelin Star for three consecutive years and a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Rating, arrives from Bloomsbury Publishing in a limited first printing of 2,000 copies.
‘
Equal parts memoir, kitchen manual, and visual feast, the 332-page hardcover opens the doors to one of America’s most acclaimed fine-dining destinations, sharing the recipes, stories, and culinary philosophy behind it.
‘
Executive Chef Freddy Money joined the Atlas restaurant in 2020 after a career that took him from Michelin-starred kitchens in London and Madrid to private service around the world. His cooking is defined by technical precision, extraordinary visual artistry, and a deep belief that a great meal is, above all, a work of art.

Cod with Saffron Citrus Sauce

About the Recipe: Chef Freddy Money says: “This sauce is made with triple-sec, saffron, and fish sauce, reduced down and really strong, with a good thick consistency and a lot of flavors to it. Salting the fish, then poaching it low and slow in oil, means it falls apart. Perfectly cooked fish, with a really good sauce.”

Knot Knot Pasta

About the Recipe: Chef Freddy Money says: “This is about as close as we at Atlas get to “easy” with a plate of food, though in our case it comes with a generous serving of caviar of course. Simple and utterly delicious, this is a great starting point if you are just beginning to make pasta. The butter can be flavored at will. I’m departing from the recipe format here and just giving you a written template of how to make it. I urge you to learn to cook pasta this way, as you will be able to construct myriad bowls of deliciousness!”

Bridging the gap between America’s Test Kitchen’s perfection and our everyday baking; Gloria’s tips, variations, and results for six standout cookies.
There’s something special about taking a carefully tested recipe from America’s Test Kitchen and making it in your own home kitchen. That’s exactly what this episode is all about. We’re sharing six standout cookies we tried from The New Cookie complete with the little tips, swaps, and variations that helped bridge the gap between professional and our everyday baking. Some turned out exactly as hoped, others got a personal twist, and every single one brought a little extra joy to our kitchen and our family. Ready to see the results of our kitchen adventures and what we changed along the way?

Chocolate Sugared Oatmeal Cookies
The topping on the cookies looks like frosted lace – so beautiful!
‘
About the Recipe: This brown sugar oat cookie is lightly flavored with mild chocolate. Topped with a very light chocolate icing, it looks like a delicate frosting lace pattern. Icing the cookies is the hardest part, but do take your time and try it. They look so beautiful on a cookie platter.

Malted Milk Chocolate Snowballs
A little crunch with a touch of malt chocolate ready for the holidays.
‘
About the Recipe: Two recipes in the cookbook caught my attention: one for snowballs and another featuring malted milk. I combined the ideas to create these cookies. Chocolate Malt Mix adds a light, creamy flavor, while rice crispy cereal provides crunch and mini chocolate chips buzzed in an extra touch of chocolate. The result is a delicious new holiday cookie!

Spicy Almond Celebration Skillet Cookie
Loaded with chocolate and topped with smoked almonds.
‘
About the Recipe: We were having a very special birthday celebration for a friend in a nursing home who just loves cookies. This skillet cookie was the perfect birthday celebration surprise, warm and so yummy served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We used pumpkin pie spice to bring the autumn season right to the party. I loved using the smoked almonds that already were salted so we didn’t need to add any salt to the topping. The dark chocolate was just slightly melted, adding a special surprise.

Chocolate Chunky Cookies
These cookies bring back memories of those thick chunky candies.
‘
About the Recipe: This cookie brings back a candy memory of thick chunky chocolate candy that everyone loved. Great to serve on one of those cold days since it’s loaded with so many chunky sweets.

Mocha Chocolate Streusel Cookies
The surprise ingredients are coffee grounds and bananas!
‘
About the Recipe: Just imagine that those two overripe bananas could make the most delicious chocolate cookies. It’s true! These delicious, full-of-chocolate cookies are topped with crunchy buttery streusel and have “soft tender centers” surrounded with crunchy edges. The surprises are that the mocha flavoring comes from your own favorite coffee grounds, left over from breakfast, and mashed ripe bananas that seem to disappear but make the cookies moist. It’s a major yum for your tum!

Sweet Potato Cookie Cake
Creamy Sweet Potatoes add a harvest touch.
‘
About the Recipe: Not having any canned pumpkin puree or all of the spices needed, I decided to try some sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie spice as substitutes in this recipe. I also decided to add a sprinkle of pecans for some added texture. They added that autumn feeling and made the finished squares taste a little like sweet potato gingerbread. It was different from the original Test Kitchen recipe but a delicious treat to serve this fall.
