Something from Nothing: A Cookbook

"The thing about an Alison Roman recipe, and I’m not sure how she does it, is that you’re rarely more than 45 minutes or 10 ingredients away from something deceptively spectacular. Something from Nothing elegantly walks the tightrope of simplicity, conjuring pantry miracles from what could be boring basics. Piquancy is the name of the game here, whether it’s sides like roasted fennel spangled with capers and crunchy, anchovied celery salad, or mains like a turmeric-gilded crushed-olive chicken or crispy schnitzel adorned with browned butter radishes. In short, stock up on your tins and go to town!"
