We fell in love with Alison Roman’s first cookbook and we’re so excited to now have her latest release. Nothing Fancy is jam-packed with bold dishes filled with flavor without any fussiness. Alison intended this to be a laidback empowering guide to entertaining, but we think it’s just a wonderful weeknight dining for larger families and those who love to spread one dish over multiple days. Why we love it: Alison includes recommendations for dishes to serve together. Planning a well-rounded meal has never been simpler.
