“How do you make interesting and tasty meals for every member of the family?” That question inspired former private chef and mom Sabrina Snyder to post practical, reliable, and taste-tested recipes to the website she created, Dinner Then Dessert. Five years later, her website is one of the top food sites in the world, drawing millions of views a month and followed by nearly 900,000 fans on social media. Incredibly, Sabrina’s famous Philly Cheese Steak recipe, which she posted the day before the Super Bowl, racked up 45,000 hits within the first five minutes!

Now, in Dinner Then Dessert, Sabrina has selected some her favorite dishes from her vast trove of recipes, along with new fare to help cooks of all levels get great meals on the table every member of the family will love. Sabrina knows that cooking delicious meals day after day can be a challenge, even for professional chefs. Add in picky eaters, dietary restrictions, a busy schedule, and children, and it feels easier to order take out. But cooking at home doesn’t have to be difficult or boring.

Booklist Starred Review:

August 1, 2021 Dinner Then Dessert: Satisfying Meals Using Only 3, 5, or 7 Ingredients. By Sabrina Snyder Sept. 2021. 224p. illus. HarperDesign, $29.99 (9780062995414). 641.5 Professional chef and business owner Snyder offers approachable advice for getting started in the kitchen in this cookbook divided into two sections, the first focusing on building a pantry and how to properly store pantry items and the second focusing on recipes. Section one is a treasure trove of information, instructing readers on how to be a smart shopper and including tips like keeping a journal to track what’s in your pantry. Snyder covers everything on how to prep and store staples like meat, fruits, vegetables, and even puff pastry. For each staple, Snyder dives even deeper by describing subsets of the item. For instance, for beef she provides information on rib eye, flank steak, and ground beef so readers can know the differences in how to prepare them. The second section features recipes for meals that only include three, five, or seven ingredients, such as garlicky broccoli and cauliflower, creamy tomato salmon, and Jamaican jerk veggie burgers. Each recipe includes a mini introduction, numbered instructions, notes on making the dish, and a list of substitutions for its ingredients. Readers who feel intimidated by cooking and don’t know where to start will find a cheerleader in Snyder. — Nataya Culler
