    With three little boys less than two years apart and a packed schedule as an online creator, Caroline Chambers often doesn't feel like cooking. Can you relate? When you just can't motivate yourself in the kitchen, this is the simple cookbookyou should reach for.

    Inspired by Caro's wildly popular Substack newsletter of the same name, What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking is brimming with efficient recipes that take the guesswork out of dinner—in fact, each one is a complete meal: protein, veg, starch, done! The recipes are organized by the amount of time they take to cook, so whether you have 15 minutes to throw together Peanutty Pork and Brussels or a little bit longer to simmer Turkey Bolognese with Sneaky Veggies, dinnertime is totally doable. On top of that, Caro gives you more ways to choose, so you can search by protein (Chicken thighs waiting in the fridge? Make White Chicken Chili. Nothing but beans in the pantry? Cannellini Caprese with Burrata is it!) or mood (Tomato Farrotto is perfect for a cozy craving, and Crunchy Honey Harissa Fish Tacos are an excellent way to show off). Most importantly, these recipes include Caro's famously extensive swaps, riffs, tips, shortcuts, and more to be sure they work best for you, helping you save money, improvise, and even learn a thing or two. They don't compromise quality or flavor—and they deliver every time. With as few ingredients, steps, and, of course, dirty dishes as possible, dinner awaits!

    Perfect for beginners and those seeking easy cookbooks for simple meals, What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking is the ultimate "I don't want to cook" cookbook. With its focus on efficient, flavorful recipes and minimal ingredients, this easy dinner cookbook appeals to time-constrained parents, working professionals, and anyone who craves delicious homemade meals without the fuss. Readers seeking uncomplicated cookbooks for beginners will appreciate Caroline Chambers' approachable style, clever shortcuts, and flexible recipe options, making this book a go-to resource for satisfying meals on even the most exhausting days.

        Starred review from June 1, 2024

        Many cookbooks conceived during the pandemic addressed the need to cook from home while keeping meals interesting. Chambers (Just Married: A Cookbook for Newlyweds) continues this trend with the full force of her background as a professional recipe tester. She organizes her delicious and simple recipes by the time each requires, beginning at 15-ish minutes, with subsequent chapters describing more intensive periods. Every recipe offers options for swapping ingredients to match what cooks have on hand or prefer, and many recipes also offer multiple versions of basics, such as frittatas and noodles. This flexible approach does not just minimize time spent in the kitchen but also offers time-saving ideas for collecting essential staples and equipment. As readers try their hand at the book's dishes that require more time, the volume's simplicity remains and helps build confidence within cooks to be more adventurous in their meal choices. VERDICT Highly approachable and friendly to all skill levels, this book fits the bill for anyone who hesitates to prepare meals; a must-have for time-constrained cooks. Essential for every collection.--Ron Block

        As its fun title suggests, the second cookbook from recipe developer Chambers (Just Married, 2018) is here for home cooks who may, like the author, have several mouths to feed and not a lot of time to do it. Each of the 100-plus recipes is a complete meal, and the book progresses through dishes that require 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour, or longer to make, with lots of both meaty and vegetarian options: burgers made on a sheet pan, creamy creamless tomato soup, pasta sauces made from blended kale or cooked squash. A detailed index, list of recipes organized by protein, and another list dividing recipes into categories (e.g., healthy stuff, meals to bring a friend, slow-cooker adaptable) make it especially useful. Several recipes include speed-friendly, pre-made items like rotisserie chicken and store-bought pesto, hummus, salsa, and pizza dough. Like Ali Slagle's I Dream of Dinner (So You Don't Have To) (2023), this is sure to help tired people reinvigorate routines and get dinner on the table.
