1:02:18Now PlayingAlison Roman discusses her book, "Nothing Fancy", in Washington, DC.
Social media star, New York Times columnist, and author of Dining In Alison Roman helps you nail dinner with unfussy food, unstuffy vibes, and the permission to be imperfect. An unexpected weeknight meal with a neighbor or a weekend dinner party with fifteen of your closest friends--either way and everywhere in between, having people over is supposed to be fun, not stressful.
Nothing Fancy: Unfussy Food for Having People Over is an abundant collection of all-new recipes for gatherings big and small, any day of the week. Roman will give you the food your people want (think DIY martini bar, platters of tomatoes, pots of coconut-braised chicken and chickpeas, pans of lemony turmeric tea cake) plus the tips and confidence to pull it all off. With Nothing Fancy, any night of the week is worth celebrating.
Roman is in conversation with Jessica Sidman who covers D.C.'s food and drink scene for Washingtonian. She is also the former Food Editor and Young & Hungry columnist at Washington City Paper.
