! There are many more recipes I’m keen to try when I get the time (particularly from the vegetable and seafood sections of the book). In summary, I highly recommend this book!

Personally, I think purchasing a cookbook is a success if there is at least one recipe that is amazing and you’d make it regularly (I own many cookbooks and this isn’t as easy as it sounds). Love love love Alison Roman so much ❤️Have both of her cookbooks and constantly try out new recipes of hers. Highly recommend!

I also highly rate Nothing Fancy for its writing style ( Alison Roman has a way of writing that makes you feel like she’s sharing her thoughts with a friend rather than adopting a serious writing style) and the photos (photos on virtually every page that are bright, modern and glossy) - so it’s an enjoyable read if you’re buying it as more of a coffee table book than a cookbook. The book is split into Snack Time (which includes dips and spreads, fruit and vegetables as well as “crunchy things, salty things”), Salads (Leafy Salads, Crunchy Salads and Kind of Salads), Sides (Vegetables and Grains), Mains (Meat, Seafood and Pasts) and After Dinner.
