Bestselling author Caroline Chambers is a mom of four young boys and a Substack recipe developer who famously doesn’t feel like cooking—and she’s built a whole brand on that premise. Her third book, What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking: Make It Fast, is the ultimate guide to making easy, crowd-pleasing dinners in under 30 minutes.

Focused on eliminating unnecessary steps, minimizing dirty dishes, and making dinnertime as accessible as possible, the cookbook features 100 stress-free dinner recipes—all of which are complete meals—with no more than half-an-hour hands-on time in the kitchen. In the “15 Minutes” and “30 Minutes” chapters, make dishes such as flank steak with elote salsa and fish and veggie curry. Recipes in the “Walk Away” chapter are perfect for the home-chef who’s busy but not in a rush, so they can let rotisserie-ish chicken with schmaltzy lemon dressing roast while folding a pile of laundry. Every recipe features Chambers’ signature swaps, riffs, tips, and shortcuts to empower the home chef to make the recipes work for them.

All books will be pre-signed by the author. A limited number of tickets include access to a post-event signing for those who would like their name added to their book.
