101 delicious and achievable, budget-friendly, vegetable-forward recipes made for communal eating and entertaining, from food writer, chef, and supper club host Rosie Kellett.

Sharing a warehouse home in London with her six flatmates has taught supper club host and former Violet Bakery employee Rosie Kellett that making delicious food is possible on any budget. Rosie and her housemates cook and eat most of their meals communally: each person pays just about $30 per week to cover grocery costs and they take turns cooking each night, with everyone coming together to share a meal at the end of the day. Through this approach to cooking and eating, Rosie has come to cherish the physical act of sitting around a table with others, and she has learned how to feed a crowd with minimal effort, waste, and cost.

With her first book In for Dinner, Rosie shares her affordable and approachable recipes that are designed for sharing--be it with friends, family, or yourself (leftovers!). From a flavorful and comforting Conchigliette with Porcini Mushroom Ragu and a bake-and-blend Roasted Carrot, Cumin, and Coconut Soup to an irresistible Hot Harissa Shakshuka and a delicious and endlessly customizable Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cake, Rosie is a pro at coaxing sophisticated flavors from humble ingredients. The recipes often serve up to eight and mirror the way Rosie and her housemates eat--mostly vegetarian with a little bit of fish now and again--to maximize affordability and nourishment, but the dishes are impressive enough to serve up at your next dinner party.

While a communal lifestyle isn't everyone's reality, Rosie believes that coming together to share food is more economical and also creates joyful opportunities to connect at the end of each day.
