Craving Shake Shack but don’t feel like buying an international airfare? The American fast-food chain has just released an eponymous cookbook, which means you can cook their burgers for yourself at home.

The company’s first cookbook tells the story of how it all began, in the words of head honcho Danny Meyer. It explains the journey of the tiny hot-dog cart that grew into a million dollar success story – an inspiring rise, sure to motivate any entrepreneur.

If you follow Shake Shack on Instagram, you are no doubt familiar with how aesthetically pleasing their burgers are. It comes as no surprise, then, that the book’s cover is equally as enticing. And while the pages are also full of stunning glossy images, this is much more than a beautiful coffee table book; Shake Shack combines the amusement of storytelling with pages of tasty, sought-after recipes that reveal the brand’s biggest secrets … well, sort of.

The first recipe is the famous Shack Sauce, but before you start getting too excited, the burger chain will not expose all. Shack Shack’s CEO Randi Garutti confirmed that the sauce recipe has been adapted for the home cook, telling Eater that just six people in the world know the true recipe. The only ingredients revealed are Dijon mustard, Hellman’s mayonnaise, Heinz ketchup, pickle juice, salt and pepper.

The recipes for the classic burgers are accompanied by a visual photo of the bun’s ‘anatomy,’ illustrating each element involved – on the Shack Burger, for example, there’s butter, a potato bun, salt and pepper, green leaf lettuce, Shack Sauce, a Roma tomato, American cheese and ground beef.

The flavours develop throughout the book as more inventive recipes from burger collaborations are revealed, including David Chang’s Momofuku Shrimp Stack Burger, which, in 2014, caused one of Shake Shack’s longest lines.

The recipes in the book are simple, well thought out and easy to follow. The downside? Good luck replicating that memorable and signature squishy golden bun. The delicious potato rolls hold these burgers together, quite literally. While they’re not yet available in Australia, you could easily settle for brioche.
