About this deal

Roman] could offer a master’s program in Approachable Recipe. . . .

Michele Moses recommended the book to readers of The New Yorker, writing: "Part of the appeal is her grasp of her audience: the financially unsteady millennial generation, which has turned “nothing fancy” into an aesthetic choice." [8] Moses also discussed the accessible persona cultivated by Roman in the book, and highlighted tips accompanying certain recipes that expressed annoyance with some expectations held by guests. Moses refers to Roman as "libidinous and a little bit mean," contrasting her with the "prim and gracious" personas of Ina Garten and Martha Stewart.Recipes with photos: Nearly 100 percent of the 125 or so recipes in this book have corresponding photos. No fewer than 33 of those photos feature pristinely manicured red nails (on fingers spooning caviar from a tin, plopping an uncooked yolk on top of kimchi-braised pork, squeezing lime over blistered shishito peppers).

Spicy pork meatballs in Brothy Tomatoes: These meatballs were tasty but dry--I used lean ground pork, which was a mistake. I would make these again with half ground beef and half pork, using half the amount of fennel seeds. (I don't love fennel or anchovies, two ingredients that take center stage in this book.)

Customer reviews

Nothing Fancy” has served me as Roman intended. At a Sunday dinner that started two hours later than planned, I put out her labneh dip with sizzled scallions and chili, and everyone declared it “bomb.” On a weeknight, I made her “Casual Apple Tart with Caramelized Buttermilk” for my roommates (the people I’m always “having over”), and they called it the best apple pie they’d ever had. But my favorite discovery is her “Perfect Herby Salad”: half lettuce and half herbs (parsley, cilantro, tarragon, mint), drizzled with lemon, olive oil, and, of course, Maldon. Like many of her best ideas, it has a why-didn’t-I-think-of-that simplicity. Roman makes food more interesting. . . .
