Caroline Chambers

Join us on August 18th as we welcome the What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking author to Powell's!

Following the breakout success of the bestselling What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking, Substack star Caroline Chambers returns with a new cookbook offering 100 more recipes for busy people who love good food — and these can be made even faster! Chambers famously doesn’t feel like cooking — and she’s built a whole brand on that premise. Her superpowers are eliminating unnecessary steps, minimizing dirty dishes, and making dinnertime as simple, stress-free, and fun as possible. While plenty of obstacles stand between you and a delicious meal, being short on time is probably the biggest one. Chambers’s exciting follow-up cookbook, What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking: Make It Fast (Union Square & Co.), is once again organized into three time-based chapters. You’ll find recipes for 100 dinners, all of which are complete meals and can be made with no more than 30 minutes hands-on time in the kitchen — and yes, that includes chopping, marinating, and all other prep! Every quick and easy recipe features Caro’s signature swaps, riffs, tips, and shortcuts to empower you to make these recipes work for you — not the other way around! You’ll also find special treasures throughout the book, including anchor recipes you can spin into five different dishes so you can DIY your favorites. Even on the nights when you think there’s no way, no how, What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking: Make It Fast will help you get a full, flavorful meal on the table in basically no time.

Please note: This is a ticketed event. Tickets include admission, as well as one hardcover copy of What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking: Make It Fast. Books distributed at event.

Additional note: Refunds are available up to 5 days before this event (Eventbrite fees are non-refundable). After the refund period has expired, all ticket sales are final. If you are not able to attend the event, your book will be held at the store where the event took place for 14 days afterwards, unless you reach out to our Contact Center via email at help@powells.com to make other arrangements. After that time, your book is considered abandoned and we will restock the item to our inventory.
