Effortless meals for busy lives.
With a house full of three little boys, a demanding schedule, and an active career as an online creator, Caroline Chambers often finds herself lacking the energy to cook. Sound familiar? If you’ve ever stared at your kitchen and thought, What’s the easiest way to get dinner on the table?—this book is your answer.
Based on her wildly popular Substack newsletter, What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking is packed with simple, satisfying recipes designed to make dinnertime manageable. Each recipe is a complete meal—protein, veggies, and starch, all done in one go—and they’re organized by the time you have. Whether you need something ready in 15 minutes, like Peanutty Pork and Brussels, or have a bit more time to simmer Turkey Bolognese with Sneaky Veggies, you’ll find plenty of options that fit your schedule.
You can also browse recipes by ingredient. Chicken thighs? Try White Chicken Chili. Pantry beans? Go for Cannellini Caprese with Burrata. Or browse by mood, such as cozy Tomato Farrotto or vibrant Crunchy Honey Harissa Fish Tacos. And with tons of creative swaps, shortcuts, and helpful tips, these recipes are endlessly adaptable to suit your kitchen, budget, and tastes.
Designed for beginners and seasoned cooks alike, this is the ultimate resource for delicious, no-fuss dinners—minimal ingredients, fewer dirty dishes, and maximum flavor.
