Delicious Tonight

AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Global best-selling home cook Nagi Maehashi is back to solve the perennial problem of what’s for dinner tonight . . . and every night.  


Following her debut New York Times best-selling cookbook, Dinner, Nagi brings us more than 150 brand-new, fully Americanized recipes, 800 variations on those recipes, and 3,000 possible combinations that mix and match ingredients (including her world-famous Charlie Sauce). 

There are crave-worthy crowd-pleasers—try slow-baked Italian meatballs in a rich tomato sauce with bubbling melted cheese or fall-apart Asian chicken cooked in a sticky-sweet soy glaze.  

Some dinners can be cooked in 20 minutes, and others can be made using only pantry staples. For high-impact guest-impressing, turn to Sunday suppers—the Vietnamese pulled pork is a festival of flavor—while the sweet chapter delivers on the promise of maximum decadence.

With stunning photos and links for how-to videos for each recipe—and plenty of guest appearances from Nagi’s beloved golden retriever, Dozer!—this is a book for every home kitchen, for every level of cooking ability, for every budget, for every set of taste buds, and for every single night of the week.
