Knowing that many consumers are just as passionate about making their own food as they are about eating out, Shake Shack is releasing its own Shake Shack cookbook.
Shake Shack: Recipes & Stories provides 70 recipes that detail how to make everything from DIY ShackBurgers to homemade crinkle-cut fries and at-home frozen custard shakes. The recipe book also contains hundreds of photos, stories and fun facts that help to bring fans closer to the heart of the brand.
The first 200 people who pre-order the Shake Shack cookbook will receive an edition signed by authors and Shake Shack CEO Randy Garutti and Culinary Director Mark Rosati. All pre-ordered cookbooks from the fast casual restaurant chain will also include a voucher for a free ShackBurger that can be redeemed at the chain.
