Ali Slagle is a recipe developer, stylist, and-most important of all-home cook. She's a frequent contributor to the New York Times and Washington Post, where she's published hundreds of weeknight-ready recipes. Previously, she cut her teeth on the editorial and creative teams at Food52 and Ten Speed Press. You'll find her in Brooklyn, without a dishwasher, food processor, or stand mixer.
“Finally, a recipe creator who understands what a realistic
end-of-week pantry looks like!”—Eater
“Her recipes carry the comforting pragmatism of an impatient home
cook: she maps out the smoothest way to get from ingredients to
dinner, and maximizes flavor wherever possible.”—Marian Bull, food
writer
“The recipes are unique, easy to follow, and even easier to commit
to memory. It’s exciting to think of a whole cookbook worth of
them.”—Food52
“Slagle is generous with permission to break the rules in service
of minimizing effort or maximizing pleasure, ideally both.”—The New
Yorker
“As you can imagine there is a lot of talk of cookbooks in our
proverbial halls (a.k.a. Zoom calls), and occasionally it seems
everyone is in love with the same one. This month the brilliantly
titled I Dream of Dinner (so You Don’t Have To) by Ali Slagle is a
house favorite.”—Dawn Davis, editor in chief of Bon Appétit
“I Dream of Dinner is brilliantly designed, clearly written, and
filled with a ton of quick, simple recipes to help get a happy
dinner on the table at the end of a long day.”—Samin Nosrat, author
of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat
“[Ali Slagle], is a super smart cook and recipe writer who’s also
damn funny. Her humor and ideas will get you through making dinner
in about 45 minutes.”—Andrea Nguyen, author of Vietnamese Food Any
Day and The Pho Cookbook
“Ali has pulled off the near-impossible with a collection of
delicious, doable, recipes that don’t just tell you how to make a
specific dish, but how to expand your way of thinking so you can
cook with a flexible pantry. Let’s face it, it’s tough to organize
your life around recipes with specific ingredients. Instead, I
Dream of Dinner makes room for your life.”—Sohla
El-Waylly, chef and all-around awesome person
“Many books purport to offer easy weeknight meals but disguise
cooking time with hidden prep and other
complications—not Slagle’s. She hits it out of the park with
her first cookbook, collecting recipes that take 45 minutes or less
and use 10 or fewer ingredients.”—Library Journal
“This makes the task of cooking feel like a
celebration.”—Publishers Weekly
