Cookbook Test Drive! Nothing Fancy, Alison Roman
Would I cook from this book again? Totally! The recipes are straightforward and flavourful, just the way I like them. Let me know which book (or blog) you'd like me to test drive next!
Recipes:
Sticky Chili Chicken with Hot-and-Sour Pineapple—p 196
Tomatoes Dressed in Toasted Fennel and Anchovy—p.112
Celery Salad with Cilantro and Sesame—p. 100
Hibiscus-Roasted Peaches with Brown-Sugar Bread Crumbs—p. 304
I'm not going to write out the full recipes here because that wouldn't be fair to the book!
Hey! Thanks for watching!
I'm Paula. I'm a former professional cook and overall eating enthusiast.
I started this channel because I love making dinner and I love eating dinner.. but mostly it's because all I've ever wanted in life is to have my own cooking show. When I didn't get a callback after submitting my tape to Food Network in 2003, I put that dream to rest for a while. Until I clued in, I can do it myself on YouTube!
I love sharing the tips I've learned from professional kitchens and tidbits from my holistic nutrition education. But mostly I just want to show you how to make dinner. (See what I did there?) 😄
My cooking style is simple but flavourful. I cook with a lot of veggies but I'm not vegetarian. For me, a typical dinner is plant-forward, budget-friendly, non-fussy, and really delicious. As a step-mom, I make a lot of family-friendly comfort food, as well as a lot of simple, realistic dinners for one (or two).
