Nothing Fancy: The Art of Having People Over

In Nothing Fancy, Alison brings her signature laid-back, approachable style and visually stunning recipes that are high on wow factors and low on effort to dishes designed to be enjoyed with others, whether for an impromptu Tuesday dinner with a neighbor or a Saturday-night hang with the gang. From a special plate of lamb chops “for the table” to a who-doesn’t-love-a-baked-potato bar to Overnight Foccacia Tonight, each of these 150 recipes is brand new and signature Alison. Here, too, are plenty of Alison-isms, such as forget wine pairings and drink what you like, don’t stress about parsley stems, and yes, you can ask the guests to help with the dishes.
