Dining In
By Roman, Alison
Discover the cookbook featuring "drool-worthy yet decidedly unfussy food" (Goop) that set todays trends and is fast becoming a modern classic.. "This is not a cookbook. Its a treasure map." - Samin Nosrat, author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY San Francisco Chronicle * NPR * Epicurious * Newsday * KCRWs Good Food * The Fader * American Express Essentials. Alison Romans Salted Butter and Chocolate Chunk Shortbread made her Instagram-famous. But all of the recipes in Dining In have one thing in common: they make even the most oven-phobic or restaurant-crazed person want to stay home and cook. They prove that casual doesnt have to mean boring, simple doesnt have to be uninspired, and that more steps or ingredients dont always translate to a better plate of food. . Vegetable-forward but with an affinity for a mean steak and a deep regard for fresh fish, Dining In is all about building flavor and saving time. Alisons ingenuity seduces seasoned cooks, while her warm, edgy writing makes these recipes practical and approachable enough for the novice. With 125 recipes for effortlessly chic dishes that are full of quick-trick techniques (think slathering roast chicken in anchovy butter, roasting citrus to ramp up the flavor, and keeping boiled potatoes in the fridge for instant crispy smashed potatoes) , she proves that dining in brings you just as much joy as eating out.. Praise for Dining In. "Sorry, restaurants. Superstar Alison Roman has given us recipes so delicious, so meltdown-proof - and so fun to read - were going to be cooking at home for a while. Quite possibly forever." - Christine Muhlke, editor at large, Bon Appétit"Anyone who wants the aesthetic, quality, and creativity of a Brooklyn restaurant without having to go to a Brooklyn restaurant will love Alison Romans cookbook. Its filled with recipes that are both unique and approachable. Reading it, youll find yourself thinking I would have never thought of making this but I want to make it right now." - BuzzFeed. "Dining In is exactly how I want to cook: with bright, fresh flavors, minimal technique, and no pretense. This isnt just a bunch of great recipes, but a manifesto on how one original, opinionated home cook sees the world." - Amanda Hesser, co-founder, Food52

Dinner
By Clark, Melissa
More than 200 all-new, never-before-published recipes for dishes that are "familiar but fresh, approachable but exciting." (Yotam Ottolenghi) Each recipe in Dinner is meant to be dinner - one fantastic dish that is so satisfying and flavor-forward it can stand alone - or be paired with a simple salad or fresh bread on the side. This is what Melissa Clark means by changing the game. Dinner is all about options: inventive, unfussy food with unexpected flavor. Clark's mission is to help anyone - whether a novice with just a single pan or the experienced home cook - figure out what to make any night of the week without settling on fallbacks. These inherently simple recipes can turn anyone into a better and more confident cook. Organized by main ingredient - chicken, meat, fish and seafood, eggs, pasta and noodles, tofu, vegetable dinners, grains, pizza, soups, and salads that mean it - Dinner covers an astonishing breadth of recipes. There is something for every mood, season, and the amount of time you have: sheet pan chicken laced with spicy harissa, burgers amped with chorizo, curried lentils with poached eggs; and if you want just a little something else, you'll find green beans with caper vinaigrette, coconut rice, and skillet brown-butter cornbread, to name just a few dishes in this indispensable collection. Here, too, are easy flourishes that make dinner exceptional: stir charred lemon into pasta, toss creamy Caesar-like dressing on a grain bowl, add fresh ricotta and demerara sugar to stovetop mac and cheese; lavish a dollop of chile paste just about anywhere. Melissa Clark, the New York Times bestselling author and one of the most beloved food writers of our generation, has written a comprehensive and practical book that reflects the way she cooks at home for her family and on those rare nights when she's alone. ***Praise for Melissa Clark's Dinner:"The recipes in Melissa Clark's Dinner are everything I want for my dinner. Dishes which are familiar but fresh, approachable but exciting. The tone of the book is also just the sort of company I'd want around my table: Melissa is experienced enough in the kitchen to know that being relaxed is the only way to approach the evening meal. It should be fun, it should be easy, it should be delicious." - YOTAM OTTOLENGHI "Melissa Clark has an extrasensory ability to divine what we want to eat and a secret knowledge of how to take a familiar dish and make it just a little more interesting. In following her lead, dinner gets more delicious and we become better cooks." - PETER MEEHAN "Dinner is an expertly useful tool for the home cook. Melissa Clark has stripped away fussiness and pretension and replaced it with sensibility and flavor. This is food that you will absolutely crave!" - MICHAEL SOLOMONOV
