Quite possibly forever."-- Christine Muhlke, Editor at Large, Bon Apptit "Dining In is exactly how I want to cook: with bright, fresh flavors, minimal technique, and no pretense...This isn't just a bunch of great recipes, but a manifesto on how one original, opinionated home cook sees the world." -- Amanda Hesser, Co-Founder, Food52 "Never too fancy, Alison solves the greatest mystery every home cook faces--how to transform thoughtful food into a greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts one-pan-wonder or next-level crowd-pleasing masterpiece."-- Christina Tosi, author of Momofuku Milk Bar, "Alison Roman's cooking is artfully effortless, with flavors that jump off the plate.

Dining In should make Brooklynesque restaurants around the country nervous. Why would you dine out when you can roast chicken in anchovy butter and toast up croutons in the schmaltzy, umami-tastic butter, or make crispy chickpeas and lamb with greens and garlicky yogurt?" -- Bon Apptit "Former pastry chef and food editor Alison Roman's first book is a collection of recipes that speak to this moment in modern dining: One-pot dinners, sharable plates, casual desserts. Roman makes clever use of pantry staples and condiments to season and draw flavor out of winter vegetables and slowly simmered stews."-- Eater "Not your grandmother's all-purpose cookbook."-- Food52 "Neither basic nor aspirational." --Epicurious "[Roman's] recipes feature plenty of "it" ingredients, like kimchi, pistachios,and za'atar, but they all make delicious, craveworthy sense. Flipping through Dining In , I wanted to read every word and make every dish; there's not too many cookbooks I can say that about."-- Fine Cooking "Designed to make your weeknight dinner more delicious and less fussy." --The Kitchn
