In for Dinner

Rosie Kellett

101 delicious and achievable, budget-friendly, vegetable-forward recipes made for communal eating and entertaining, from food writer, chef, and supper club host Rosie Kellett.

Sharing a warehouse home in London with her six flatmates has taught supper club host and former Violet Bakery employee Rosie Kellett that making delicious food is possible on any budget. Rosie and her housemates cook and eat most of their meals communally: each person pays just about $30 per week to cover grocery costs and they take turns cooking each night, with everyone coming together to share a meal at the end of the day. Through this approach to cooking and eating, Rosie has come to cherish the physical act of sitting around a table with others, and she has learned how to feed a crowd with minimal effort, waste, and cost.

With her first book In for Dinner, Rosie shares her affordable and approachable recipes that are designed for sharing—be it with friends, family, or yourself (leftovers!). From a flavorful and comforting Conchigliette with Porcini Mushroom Ragu and a bake-and-blend Roasted Carrot, Cumin, and Coconut Soup to an irresistible Hot Harissa Shakshuka and a delicious and endlessly customizable Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cake, Rosie is a pro at coaxing sophisticated flavors from humble ingredients. The recipes often serve up to eight and mirror the way Rosie and her housemates eat—mostly vegetarian with a little bit of fish now and again—to maximize affordability and nourishment, but the dishes are impressive enough to serve up at your next dinner party.

While a communal lifestyle isn’t everyone’s reality, Rosie believes that coming together to share food is more economical and also creates joyful opportunities to connect at the end of each day.

There's Always Room at the Table

Kaleb Wyse

New York Times Bestseller

A delicious collection of classic, midwestern family recipes updated with modern spins and ingredients—from one of Instagram’s favorite farmers, Kaleb Wyse.

When Kaleb Wyse started documenting his daily life on his farm in Iowa, he didn’t think many people would take notice or even care. After all, his way of life is simple, guided by the seasons—he spends his days gardening, preserving, baking, and cooking, a rhythm not all that different from that of his parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents who worked the land before him.

But it turns out that people from all over the country (and even the world) connected with Kaleb’s simple, back-to-basics way of living, and fell in love with his hearty, homestyle cooking. From casseroles to biscuits, his recipes hit the sweet spot of nostalgia for some—and are a breath of fresh air for others.

In his debut cookbook, Kaleb shares his midwestern family recipes, updated for the way we eat today:

  • Overnight French Toast Stick Casserole
  • Cornmeal Pancakes with Blackberry Sauce
  • Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Spiced Apricot Glaze
  • Caesar Roasted Brussels Sprouts
  • Roasted Zucchini, Dill, and Feta Dip
  • Honey Dijon Three Bean Salad
  • Rhubarb Custard Pie Bars

From breakfasts and main courses to side dishes and desserts, the timeless food in this cookbook will appeal to every generation. Kaleb’s philosophy behind his recipes is simple: the dishes must be reminiscent of those prepared by his mom, grandmas, or even great-grandmas; the ingredients have to be readily available in his southeastern Iowa grocery stores (meaning that they’d be available for pretty much anyone else); and the end result needs to be no-nonsense and taste amazing.

This delightful cookbook is a reminder that it’s ok to slow down and keep it simple in the kitchen—the result with Kaleb’s recipes will always be comforting, classic, and delicious.

Nights and Weekends

Alexis deBoschnek

"As a veteran recipe developer, Alexis thought she had home cooking on lock until she became the primary caretaker and chef for her mother, which inspired her to think harder about cooking the daily task. Nights and Weekends is the solution to this quotidien dilemma, offering recipes that are eminently achievable for every time and effort constraint. In the Nights section, which is divided by type of food (such as Soups, Vegetable, Meat, Pasta, Fish), recipes have a short ingredient list that can be easily sourced, will come together in under 40 minutes, and only one pot or a sheet pan. The Weekend section is organized by type of meal -- Brunch, Dinner, and a chapter on Snacks for informal gatherings -- and features recipes that are slightly more adventurous, as well as a chapter on homemade desserts. Through dishes such as One-Pot Gnocchi Ragu, Everything Bagel Tomato Panzanella, Hot Butter Garlic Shrimp, 7-Minute Eggs with Mayo and Chile Oil, and Curried Chicken and Cauliflower Phyllo Pie, this cookbook not only gives you delicious meals, but it also gives you your invaluable time back to enjoy them"--

You Got This!

Diane Morrisey

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Diane Morrisey got an Instagram account to spy on her six kids. One day, on a whim, she posted a photo of a cake she’d made. Before she knew it, she had a following asking for recipes and encouragement. So began Diane’s new life phase: teaching people how to pull together a meal in a cinch.

A self-taught home cook and former caterer with six grownish kids, Diane Morrisey knows what people want to eat—and what they can cook in the short window most of us have to get dinner on the table. The 100 simple recipes in You Got This! are designed to give cooks confidence and new ideas to get out of the “what to cook” rut. Designed for carnivores, pescatarians, and vegetarians, alike, they make and break the rules: they lean on what you already have on hand, and celebrate the idea that sometimes dinner isn’t the whole shebang, but rather something that’s dinner-ish. That’s when Diane takes a package of store-bought pizza dough to make Butter Chicken Calzones

In Diane’s hands, quick cheesy numbers such as Sheet Pan Lasagna and lighter fare like Seared Salmon with Orange Avocado Salad come together in a snap. Veg-forward dishes including Roasted Cauliflower Curry and Sesame Green Beans with Crispy Tofu bring bold flavor and nourishment, while meals in bowls, such as Ginger Pork Vermicelli, have a place here, too. 

With gorgeous four-color photography throughout and tips on every page, You Got This! will empower those who are new to cooking and inspire anyone stuck in a “what to cook” rut.

Good Things

Samin Nosrat

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat—and one of America’s most beloved chefs and teachers—125 meticulously tested, flavor-forward, soul-nourishing recipes that bring joy and a sense of communion

With all the generosity of spirit that has endeared her to millions of fans, Samin Nosrat offers more than 125 of her favorite recipes—simply put, the things she most loves to cook for herself and for friends—and infuses them with all the beauty and care you would expect from the person Alice Waters called “America’s next great cooking teacher.” As Samin says, "Recipes, like rituals, endure because they’re passed down to us—whether by ancestors, neighbors, friends, strangers on the internet, or me to you. A written recipe is just a shimmering decoy for the true inheritance: the thread of connection that cooking it will unspool." 

Good Things is an essential, joyful guide to cooking and living, whether you’re looking for a comforting tomato soup to console a struggling friend, seeking a deeper sense of connection in your life, or hosting a dinner for ten in your too-small dining room. Here you’ll find go-to recipes for ricotta custard pancakes, a showstopping roast chicken burnished with saffron, a crunchy, tingly Calabrian chili crisp, super-chewy sky-high focaccia, and a decades-in-the-making, childhood-evoking yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Along the way, you’ll also find plenty of tips, techniques, and lessons, from how to buy olive oil (check the harvest date) to when to splurge (salad dressing is where you want to use your best ingredients) to the best uses for your pressure cooker (chicken stock and dulce de leche, naturally).

Good Things captures, with Samin’s trademark blend of warmth, creativity, and precision, what has made cooking such an important source of delight and comfort in her life.
