Nothing Fancy: Unfussy Food for Having People Over by Alison Roman

4.0

Nothing fancy reminded me of Ottolenghi, where quality meat or vegetables shine and are dressed up with bright, spicy, or acidic things (the influences are middle eastern, with lemon, za’atar, tahini, herbs like dill and cilantro, and umami (anchovies, scallions).

Overall, there weren’t too many recipes that I kept, but I loved reading Alison’s stories. My favorite recipe was the labne with sizzled scallions and ranch—dinner guests rave over this.
