With minimal ingredients and maximum joy in mind, Ali Slagle's no-nonsense, completely delicious recipes are ideal for dinner tonight-and every single night. Like she does with her instantly beloved recipes in the New York Times,Ali combines readily available, inexpensive ingredients in clever, uncomplicated ways for meals that spark everyday magic. Maybe it's Fish & Chips Tacos tonight, a bowl of Olive Oil-Braised Chickpeas tomorrow, and Farro Carbonara forever and ever. All come together with fewer than eight ingredients and forty-five minutes, using one or two pots and pans. Half the recipes are plant-based, too.

Organized by main ingredients like eggs, noodles, beans, and chicken, chapters include quick tricks for riffable cooking methods and flavor combinations so that dinner bends to your life, not the other way around (no meal-planning required!). Whether in need of comfort and calm, fire and fun-directions to cling to, or the inspiration to wing it-I Dream of Dinner (so You Don't Have To) is the only phone-a-friend you need. That's because Ali, a home cook turned recipe developer, guides with a reassuring calm, puckish curiosity, and desire for everyone, everywhere, to make great food-and fast. (Phew!)

Reviews for I Dream of Dinner (So You Don't Have To): Low-Effort, High-Reward Recipes: A Cookbook

Finally, a recipe creator who understands what a realistic end-of-week pantry looks like! -Eater The recipes are unique, easy to follow, and even easier to commit to memory. It's exciting to think of a whole cookbook worth of them. -Food52 As you can imagine there is a lot of talk of cookbooks in our proverbial halls (a.k.a. Zoom calls), and occasionally it seems everyone is in love with the same one. This month the brilliantly titled I Dream of Dinner (so You Don't Have To) by Ali Slagle is a house favorite. -Dawn Davis, editor in chief of Bon Appetit I Dream of Dinner, brilliantly designed, clearly written, and filled with a ton of quick, simple recipes to help get a happy dinner on the table at the end of a long day. -Samin Nosrat, author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat [Ali Slagle], is a super smart cook and recipe writer who's also damn funny. Her humor + ideas will get you through making dinner in ~45 minutes. -Andrea Nguyen, cookbook author Ali has pulled off the near-impossible with a collection of delicious, doable, recipes that don't just tell you how to make a specific dish, but how to expand your way of thinking so you can cook with a flexible pantry. Let's face it, it's tough to organize your life around recipes with specific ingredients. Instead, I Dream of Dinner makes room for your life. -Sohla El-Waylly, chef and all-around awesome person This makes the task of cooking feel like a celebration. -Publishers Weekly
