Nothing Fancy: Unfussy Food For Having People Over

"“Using your time and resources to feed people you care about is the ultimate expression of love.” Alison Roman gets me – or at least it feels like she does with that quote. In Nothing Fancy, Roman proves that stress and perfection aren’t necessary ingredients when having people over for dinner. A dinner party is more fun with everyone involved in the process – so pick out a few recipes, say, caramelized garlic on toast with anchovies, citrusy cucumbers with red onion and toasted sesame, and spicy pork meatballs in brothy tomatoes, and get together with friends to make a meal that will feel fancy, but without the fuss."
