About this book

Nachos are more than a snack--they're a lifestyle. From the perfect chip to the final cheesy drizzle, this book is a nacho deep dive for the bold, the hungry, and the cheese-obsessed.

Taylor, the Nacho King of Connecticut, brings that playful, maximalist sensibility to the page in Totally Nachrageous. More than a cookbook, it's a full-on nacho experience. With 70+ over-the-top recipes, bold retro vibes, and crowd-pleasing ideas for every occasion, this cookbook is made to be shared.
