**  
IACP AWARD FINALIST - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY _The New York Times Book Review_ \- _The New Yorker_ \- NPR - _The Washington Post_ - _San Francisco Chronicle_ - _BuzzFeed_ - _The Guardian_ \- Food Network**

An unexpected weeknight meal with a neighbor or a weekend dinner party with 15 of your closest friends--either way and everywhere in between, having people over is supposed to be fun, not stressful. This abundant collection of all-new recipes--heavy on the easy-to-execute vegetables and versatile grains, paying lots of close attention to crunchy, salty snacks, and with love for all the meats--is for gatherings big and small, any day of the week.

Alison Roman will give you the food your people want (think DIY martini bar, platters of tomatoes, pots of coconut-braised chicken and chickpeas, pans of lemony turmeric tea cake) plus the tips, sass, and confidence to pull it all off. With _Nothing Fancy_, any night of the week is worth celebrating.
