Review

Praise for 15 Minute Meals

“Written in her accessible and welcoming tone, Ali Rosen has created a book full of flavorful and delicious dishes that will actually get dinner on the table in 15 minutes. The recipes are cleverly organized in a time-saving way, plus sprinkled throughout are smart shortcuts, tips on maximizing flavor, and sourcing quick-cooking cuts of meat, fish and vegetables. 15 Minute Meals will surely be a weeknight savior for busy home cooks.”
―Yasmin Fahr,
New York Times contributor and author of What's for Dinner and Keeping It Simple

“Ali Rosen’s 15 Minute Meals is undeniably prescient, timely, and delicious. We all need quick meal recipes that feel like dinner, not like silly social media video hacks. I don’t know about you, but as a single dad who is always on the move, I found this book to be a life preserver of the highest order. From Bucatini a l’Amtriciania-ish to the brilliance of Ground Chicken Piccata, this is the weeknight meals collection that we should be celebrating, and cooking from.”
―Andrew Zimmern, Emmy and James Beard Award-winning TV host, chef and writer

“If anyone can convince me that so many excellent dishes can be accomplished in 15 minutes, it’s Ali! Each recipe comes with a pinch of honesty and humor, and a realistic approach to getting maximum flavor in minimal time through smart ingredients and comfort in your kitchen. If all of these dishes can be achieved in 15 minutes, imagine what else we can all accomplish with the time we’ll save!”
―Adrienne Cheatham, James Beard Nominated chef, author, and television personality

“Ali Rosen's joyful new cookbook 15 Minutes Meals offers inventive, clever recipes and ideas to get dinner on the table quickly without sacrificing flavor. Rosen's cheerful voice feels like she is beside you in the kitchen rooting you on, and that you too will get a delicious meal on the table swiftly, relying on a well-stocked pantry, smart shopping, and the occasional shortcut. Please sign me up for the Mussel and Tomato Rice Cake Toast, the Lamb and Smashed Cucumber Stuffed Pitas, and so much more.”
―Colu Henry, author of
Back Pocket Pasta and Colu Cooks: Easy Fancy Food.

“As a professional chef, I have always been dedicated to creating dishes from scratch without taking shortcuts. However, as a working mother of two young boys, I fully comprehend the constant struggle of ensuring our kids eat well while not sacrificing precious time. That’s why 15 Minute Meals is an absolute game-changer for parents who strive to nourish their kids without compromising on taste or quality. Packed with a treasure trove of quick and easy recipes, this book empowers you to create delectable dishes that your little ones will love. From vibrant salads to comforting soups, from flavorful pasta and noodles to an array of meat and seafood dishes―all you need is 15 minutes to transform ordinary ingredients into extraordinary flavors.”
―Leah Cohen, chef, tv host, and cookbook author

“Ali Rosen is saving our dinner parties one dish at a time.”

“Ali’s got us and I’m so glad that she does.”
—Dorie Greenspan, author of
Baking with Dorie and Everyday Dorie

So fast, easy and delicious, plus kid-approved

I’m obsessed with this cookbook so far. The recipes are simple and easy to follow, and so much more delicious than the typical quick meals I throw together when I’m short on time. Plus, my kids actually get excited about them, which is rare these days. I made the sesame noodles with my 5- and 3-year olds - it was so easy they basically did it all themselves (with a little help on measurements).To get the most out of it, just plan ahead a bit to include some of the ingredients from your the recipes in your grocery order and then the rest is easy to do on the fly. Can’t wait to try more.

Sometimes I am just too tired to cook but still want something full of flavor. Ali's book is your best companion for this situation. So many creative ideas that are ready to eat, truly, in 15 minutes or less. One of my favorites are the lamb and smashed cucumber pitas - oh my gosh. My family loves these and so do I. The amalfi lemon pesto pasta took us right back to Sorrento even on a busy weekday evening. Grab a copy and enjoy dinner after dinner even when you think you're too tired to cook!

This book has changed our evenings! Given the weeknight time crunch, we often default to pizza or something frozen, which wasn't making any of us feel very good. Not only does my picky-eating three year old love the recipes I've tried, but they really do only take 15 minutes! This has been a game changer for loosening up our busy evenings and easing the race from dinner to bath time to kid's bedtime. The ingredients can be found anywhere, and most I have hiding in my pantry anyway. I have tried about half the book so far, and excited to try the rest!

I should have read upon this cookbook. I saw the author on the Today show, the fish she made was wonderful. But the dishes are not for my family. Ingredients are not your everyday cupboard items, too many spicy recipes for us. BUT this is my fault for not researching, I wish I had not bought the cookbook. But the recipes are easy and few ingredients as advertised!

I preordered this book after seeing a recipe on Today. Unfortunately, the recipes are not what I expected. These are unusual recipes, more like European style. Some of them call for anchovies. One calls for kimchi, which I love, but it is a very distinct flavor that one either loves or hates.

I've been cooking for 40 years and have a great idea what works for me. I don't think that I will try more than a very few of the recipes, including the recipe featured on Today. I'd rather try the many Mediterranean Diet recipes that I didn't get to yet than this. I love the flavor profile of Mediterranean.

Finally, as a person with severe spinal stenosis, I was hoping for healthy, palatable, and quick meals to make. This just is not that. I am just really disappointed. Now that the book is out, preview the contents to get an idea of whether these recipes are something you may like. I wish I had done that.

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2024
You know how lots of cookbooks and websites promise 30-minute meals but then they really take like an hour and make your kitchen a disaster? Ali's book is the opposite. These recipes are legitimately quick and don't require anything out of the ordinary (much of the ingredients, if not sold at your local grocery, can be found online). It takes a busy person to understand just how hard it can be to get a good dinner (or dessert) on the table, and Ali has nailed it.

What excites me most is how flexible the recipes are, and while they're fast, they'll help you build up your confidence experimenting with new flavors, ingredients, and techniques. I imagine if new cooks make their way through this book, they'll come out the other side being way more confident about their abilities in the kitchen. And as a culinary school grad and serious home cook, I'm equally as delighted by Ali's creativity, deep culinary knowledge, and realism about what's actually possible to accomplish in such a short period of time. (It's actually quite a lot!)

10/10 highly recommend

This is my new favorite cookbook. When I first got it, I thought it sounded weird. (And honestly, I don’t think any of my kids have tried the recipes I have made from here.). Everything I have made has been outstanding and indeed, 15 minutes and simple. I just made Charred Cabbage with whipped Feta, as I happened to have an old cabbage sitting in my fridge and some leftover feta. This book is genius for those days when you need a salad or a quick dish for yourself (or your family if they like unusual dishes).
