No-Cook Cookbook cover

No-Cook Cookbook will help make the “what’s for dinner?” question fun again with over 115 recipes for everything from solo snacking dinners, to dips and platters for entertaining.

Approachable and designed for cooks of all skill levels, No-Cook Cookbook arms you with the recipes and techniques to make delicious meals at a moment’s notice, turn pantry staples and prepared foods into dinners fit for company, and stock your pantry like a pro. Learn to carve a rotisserie chicken, with 18 recipes to transform it. Make hummus from scratch using canned chickpeas and dress it up with herbs, pickles, and finishing oils. Cure those peckish moments standing in front of the fridge with new one-bite wonders such as Ricotta with Buckwheat Honey or Prosciutto with Peach and Rocket. And since no meal is complete without dessert, there’s also recipes for speedy “little somethings,” that span Stuffed Dates to Ginger Molasses Cookies with Mascarpone, Crushed Blackberries, and Honey.

No-Cook Cookbook will teach you to fill your fridge with fresh ingredients and ready-to-eat protein like cold cuts or tinned fish that can easily be turned into budget-friendly family meals or casual dinners for one or two. Whether you’re avoiding the oven on a hot night, working without a full kitchen, or just not that into cooking from scratch tonight, No-Cook Cookbook is here to save the day.

Susie Theororou is an incredible food stylist and seriously impressive cook. The irony is that she drew on her genius as a cook to write a truly inspiring collection recipes that need no cooking. This book wins because Susie doesn’t treat canned beans or tinned fish as shortcuts—she treats them as exceptional ingredients, and the dishes she creates with them deliver the fullness and beauty of any other meal. -- Carla Lalli Music, author of That Sounds So Good
Who better than world-class food stylist Susie Theodorou to know exactly how NOT to cook as if you’ve cooked? Ingredient and recipe mastery results from the dozens of cookbooks, magazine articles and food commercials she’s made. Here Susie elevates the Pantry section to the power chapter it’s always wanted to be. Photographs for every idea feeds our just-show-me-how-to-do-it hopes and dreams. Menu’s for ‘Friends Popping Over’ or ‘Sports on the Telly’ show Susie’s own special sauce (sass!) for knowing exactly what we want to eat when we want to eat it! This modern yet classic no-recipe collection is your delicious new mealtime manual.  -- Lucinda Scala Quinn, Cookbook author, Founder of Mad Hungry
As a farmers’ market and specialty food shop devotee, I’m a big assembler of foods. As much as I love to cook, it’s what I gravitate toward these days. I was just telling someone the other day I wished there was a cookbook about this, et voilà! Susie to the rescue. -- Kerry Diamond, Founder and editor in chief of Cherry Bombe Magazine
Only Susie could come up with recipes that look this beautiful without cooking a single thing. -- Chris Morocco, Food Director, Bon Appétit
What a genius Susie Theodorou is. Her book empowers you to open up your refrigerator, your pantry, and throw together a magnificent feast with a few all-purpose building blocks and then have it be the meal people will talk about for days. -- Kate Krader, Food Editor, Bloomberg
