One of my favourite cookbooks. (Full disclosure I own a lot of cookbooks and I cook from recipes 30-50% of the time).
Nothing Fancy by Alison Roman
Alison Roman is a great writer and a great cook. I find her recipes easy, pretty much guaranteed to taste great and crowd and family pleasers. I know recipe bloggers have to write a ton of text/content before getting to the recipe for the google algorithm BUT Alison’s writing is always awesome and worthwhile.
I write notes all over my cookbooks.

And already over 10 recipes I would make again. Often you have a cookbook and you end up liking or using only 1 recipe. This book has so many make-again recipes it’s just awesome.
AND most importantly her recipes are rock solid for Phase 2 and 3. Full of good fats, carbs and protein and veggies! I have even made some in Phase 1 with a few adjustments.
Enjoy!
