“Nothing Fancy delivers what those of hoping to up our dinner party game are looking for: It’s utterly current and distinctly doable.”—Eater
An unexpected weeknight meal with a neighbor or a weekend dinner party with fifteen of your closest friends—either way and everywhere in between, having people over is supposed to be fun, not stressful. This abundant collection of all-new recipes—heavy on the easy-to-execute vegetables and versatile grains, paying lots of close attention to crunchy, salty snacks, and with love for all the meats—is for gatherings big and small, any day of the week.
Alison Roman will give you the food your people want (think DIY martini bar, platters of tomatoes, pots of coconut-braised chicken and chickpeas, pans of lemony turmeric tea cake) plus the tips, sass, and confidence to pull it all off. With Nothing Fancy, any night of the week is worth celebrating.
STUDIO NOTES
After years in the Bon Appetit Test Kitchen, Alison now writes for The New York Times and a few of her recipes have broken the internet. Her Chickpea Stew recipe from the Times is a favorite in my house. Both of her books are helping to revive the home-cooked dinner party tradition. Dining In is perfect for daily cooking and Nothing Fancy will help take the stress out of hosting your next dinner party. -Keith
