Snack Plates

Dinner doesn't have to be cooked. It has to be assembled.
It is 6:40 in the evening, the stove is cold, and you would like it to stay that way. Snack Plates turns that into an actual plan: 90 no-cook dinners you build from components instead of cooking from pots. A protein. Something fresh. Something crunchy. Something creamy. One small salty or sweet bite. No oven, no pan, no timer. (Seven plates use hard-boiled eggs: buy them ready-peeled, or boil a batch once a week.)
What is inside
- 90 no-cook dinner plates, every single one shown in a full-color illustration
- Nine chapters: Mediterranean, Mexican-inspired, Asian-inspired, Nordic and smoked, breakfast-for-dinner, plates for two, lunchbox and desk, kid-friendly, and sweet
- Exact amounts in US cups, ounces and tablespoons, with a metric conversion chart
- A "Swap it" note on every plate with at least two substitutions for what you actually have
- Nutrition estimates per serving on every plate: calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat
- An allergen line on every plate, and a food-safety page with cold-storage rules
- Lighter plates are marked, with a "Make it bigger" line to turn them into a full meal
Made for hot summer evenings, tiny kitchens, dorm rooms, desk lunches, late shifts, picky kids, and every night when cooking is simply not going to happen.
Open to any chapter, pick a plate, and put dinner together in ten minutes.
