Dining In

She doesn't own a mixer and always uses the same stainless steel pan. Her personal cooking style is low-fi. When she misplaces her rolling pin, she simply rolls out her tart dough with an unopened wine bottle.

Alison Roman proves in "Dining In" that casual doesn't mean boring and simple doesn't have to be uninspired. With 125 recipes, you can delight friends and family in unconventional and original ways.

She describes her recipes as very practical for everyday use: no complicated ingredients are needed, all dishes are easy to replicate, and they bring joy to the table.

Her kitchen credo is to try it out, experiment, improvise, and indulge in fun and enjoyment. This is how Roman creates innovative dishes like anchovy butter and shares clever tips and tricks.

"Dining In" is a groundbreaking cookbook for young, urban individuals seeking surprising flavor ideas. It's no wonder that the San Francisco Chronicle named it one of the best cookbooks of the year.

"Sorry, restaurants. Superstar Alison Roman has given us recipes that are so delicious, so straightforward, and so entertaining to read that we will be cooking at home for a while. Possibly forever."

• Christine Muhlke, Bon Appétit
