You never have to spend more than 30 minutes on dinner!
Caroline Chambers is a New York Times bestselling cookbook author and wildly popular Substack recipe developer who famously doesn’t feel like cooking—and she’s built a whole brand on that premise. Her superpowers are eliminating unnecessary steps; minimizing dirty dishes; and making dinnertime as accessible, stress-free, and fun as possible. While plenty of obstacles stand between you and a delicious meal at the end of the day, being short on time is probably the biggest one. And that’s true for Caro, too! She’s running a business and chasing after four little boys. That’s why she’s hacked dinnertime even further.
This exciting follow-up cookbook is once again organized by time into the only three chapters you need to make 100 dinners—all of which are complete meals—with no more than half-an-hour hands-on time in the kitchen (and yes, that includes chopping, marinating, and all other prep!). In 15 minutes, you can have Flank Steak with Elote Salsa on the table. When you’ve got 30 to spare, add Fish and Veggie Curry to your menu. And when you’re busy but not in a rush, you can let Rotisserie-ish Chicken with Schmaltzy Lemon Dressing roast while you fold that pile of laundry. Every recipe features Caro’s signature swaps, riffs, tips, and shortcuts to empower you to make these recipes work for you (not the other way around)! You’ll find more special treasures throughout the book, including anchor recipes you can spin into five different dishes, such as Smoky Black Beans, and formula sidebars like Fried Rice Is Always Nice (and Other Grains, Too) so you can DIY your favorites. Plus, helpful back-of-book indexes allow you to search by both ingredient—useful when, say, you’ve got ground meat in the freezer—and occasion or mood—like when you cannot be bothered to chop a single thing.
Even on the nights when you think there’s no way, no how, What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking will help you get a full, flavorful meal on the table in basically no time.

What to Cook when you Don’t Feel Like CookinG
With three little boys less than two years apart and a packed schedule as an online creator, Caroline Chambers often doesn’t feel like cooking. Inspired by her wildly popular Substack newsletter of the same name, this book is brimming with efficient recipes that take the guesswork out of dinner—in fact, each one is a complete meal: protein, veg, starch, done! The recipes are organized by the amount of time they take to cook, so whether you have 15 minutes to throw together something or a little bit more time on your hands, dinnertime is totally doable. On top of that, Caro gives you more ways to choose, so you can search by protein (Chicken thighs waiting in the fridge? Make White Chicken Chili. Nothing but beans in the pantry? Cannellini Caprese with Burrata is it!) or mood (Tomato Farrotto is perfect for a cozy craving, and Crunchy Honey Harissa Fish Tacos are an excellent way to show off). Most importantly, these recipes include Caro’s famously extensive swaps, riffs, tips, shortcuts, and more to be sure they work best for you, helping you save money, improvise, and even learn a thing or two.
