Paige,
A great practical book with tons of recipes for you to enjoy! Nachos can always be changed and manipulated to be a great dinner or lunch。 You will enjoy this book filled with recipes and creative ways to spice up your chips!
Alana,
I'm honestly starving after looking at all the recipes in this book。 And yeah, after the first batch, I was like, Not A Nacho, but I no longer cared。 This had everything I needed from a cookbook: delicious-looking easy-to-follow recipes, a lack of repetition, acknowledgement of vegetarians and vegans, and honoring the culture where the recipes come from。 I could live without seeing the word "inspo" ever again, but I know what I'm in for when I open a cookbook in 2021。 ¯\_(。。)_/¯ I'm honestly starving after looking at all the recipes in this book。 And yeah, after the first batch, I was like, Not A Nacho, but I no longer cared。 This had everything I needed from a cookbook: delicious-looking easy-to-follow recipes, a lack of repetition, acknowledgement of vegetarians and vegans, and honoring the culture where the recipes come from。 I could live without seeing the word "inspo" ever again, but I know what I'm in for when I open a cookbook in 2021。 ¯\_(。。)_/¯ 。。。more

Alex,
This book intrigued me。 I don’t like to go to too much trouble when I make food, so this sounded interesting。 Overall, I’m underwhelmed。 I gained the insight that when you don’t think you have food around, you can get awfully creative。 And some of the basics recipes seemed decent (guac, nacho cheese, salsa formulas, etc。) but also things you could easily find online。 The pull of this book is that you can make a variety of nachos。 Only half of the book is actually the nacho recipes though。 I expe This book intrigued me。 I don’t like to go to too much trouble when I make food, so this sounded interesting。 Overall, I’m underwhelmed。 I gained the insight that when you don’t think you have food around, you can get awfully creative。 And some of the basics recipes seemed decent (guac, nacho cheese, salsa formulas, etc。) but also things you could easily find online。 The pull of this book is that you can make a variety of nachos。 Only half of the book is actually the nacho recipes though。 I expected a better selection and can even think of some ideas that were missing。 Overall, I would thumb through this for some ideas。 Its strength is in the basics recipes: taco meat, chili for nachos and pico de gallo, and more。 But at the end of the day, this is just some white dude with a creative plate of chips and stuff he thought seemed interesting to combine。 I didn’t find his credibility or anecdotes to add much。 Thanks to NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review! 。。。more
Mrs。 R,
Nachos are one of those foods that hit the spot any time and with 'Nachos for Dinner' you could eat them until the end of time without ever getting stuck in a cheese and tomato rut。 You will find recipes to satisfy most any craving and flavours that will tickle every tastebud。 From herbivore to carnivore, every om-nom-nom-nivore will find a nacho to crunch。This cookbook is also a joy to read。 Dan takes you back to the humble beginnings of the 'nacho', and gives a beautiful culinary history, givi Nachos are one of those foods that hit the spot any time and with 'Nachos for Dinner' you could eat them until the end of time without ever getting stuck in a cheese and tomato rut。 You will find recipes to satisfy most any craving and flavours that will tickle every tastebud。 From herbivore to carnivore, every om-nom-nom-nivore will find a nacho to crunch。This cookbook is also a joy to read。 Dan takes you back to the humble beginnings of the 'nacho', and gives a beautiful culinary history, giving credit where credit is due, while acknowledging that the food we eat is often inspired by many culinary traditions。 He encourages readers to dig deeper into more authentic representations of the traditions inspiring the flavours and combinations found here。I made the Carne Asada, and while the recipe itself was (unfortunately) nothing special, the inspired combination of crispy potatoes (this recipe and technique will ruin all other roasted potatoes for you!), cheese sauce, carne asada, and chimichurri was exceptional。 I would love to make every recipe within the pages of this book, and am certain that with them, I will be eating nachos for the rest of my days。This cookbook is great for adventurous eaters, those who love trying new flavours, those looking for a bit of inspiration, and of course, everyone who love nachos!Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to be inspired by this book。 。。。more

If you love Nachos then this is your cookbook! According to the author, you can “nachofy anything”! And he proves this theory in his recipes for breakfast and dessert nachos, nachos you wouldn’t think could be possible such as Fish Taco Nachos, Lamb Gyro Naanchos, or Apple Pie Nachos。 I appreciated how this cookbook begins with a variety of recipes for the main components like, the cheese sauce, the chips, salsas and guacamole。 I wish there had been more photos, I love food photos!

What a great gift for a foodie or a nachoaholic。Such a creative idea。 It starts with the basics and builds on what you know and will take you outside of your comfort zone。 And nachos is used loosely but I mean who doesn’t love a well put together nacho dish。 I am trying the chicken broccoli alfredo nachos。 And I made notes about his black bean recipe - I will report back。Also I LOVE the charts!

Nachos for Dinner by Dan Whalen isn't actually a recipe book for nachos, despite what it says on the cover。 By framing everything as potential nachos, Whalen encourages us to think beyond traditional meals and explore。 The brilliance of Nachos for Dinner is the culinary journey that Whalen invites us to embark upon。 At the same time, Nachos for Dinner offers the harried homeworker reassurance that every component doesn't have to be homemade and it is perfectly OK to use convenience foods; the ta Nachos for Dinner by Dan Whalen isn't actually a recipe book for nachos, despite what it says on the cover。 By framing everything as potential nachos, Whalen encourages us to think beyond traditional meals and explore。 The brilliance of Nachos for Dinner is the culinary journey that Whalen invites us to embark upon。 At the same time, Nachos for Dinner offers the harried homeworker reassurance that every component doesn't have to be homemade and it is perfectly OK to use convenience foods; the talent is in the combination。 Whalen offers a fool proof nacho sauce made with freshly grated cheese of your sauce as well as a vegan version based on potatoes and cashews but then follows up with using Cheez Whiz for the Cheesesteak Nachos。 While I might draw the line at frozen chicken nuggets and waffles as primary ingredients of a meal, I concede that the combination is an imaginative way to break out of a meat-and-two-vegetable rut。 The spicy and savory Mexican braised cabbage (tinga de repollo), presented as a critical component of both cabbage roll nachos and brats and cabbage nachos, is a great example of the unexpected mash-ups that Whalen is so good at。 Other fantastic fusion dishes include Red Curry Chickpeas, Jalapeno Margarita-glazed tofu and Cubano Nachos based on the classic Medianoche sandwich, starting with a pork chop marinade and finished with just a drizzle of mustard。 The book is gloriously organized for cooking ahead: each component recipe is listed separately with a note as to how long it will keep in the fridge。 Readers new to TexMex cooking will find a wide range of sauces and salsas including a step-by-step guide to basic guacamole followed by half a dozen variations。 The honey-chipotle hot sauce has become a staple on our kitchen table。 The layout makes it trivial to prepare the component recipes in advance before creating a show-stopping dinner in just 20 minutes by combining everything onto a sheet pan。 You can make your way through all of the nachos variations or use the cheat sheet for combining components for burritos。 Most of the components would not be out of place on a pizza or served on top of a bowl of beans (themselves a component, with both "basic black beans" and "meaty pinto beans" on offer)。 The heartier dishes, ranging from cumin-roasted cauliflower to braised lamb beerbacoa, are right at home served on a bed of rice for a fast and easy dinner。 This is the power of Nachos for Dinner。 Whalen's latest is not not actually an encouragement to each nachos every night but instead, it offers a culinary choose-your-own-adventure for a broad range of tastes and cooking styles。 I wasn't sure what I was getting when I was offered an advance review copy of the cookbook but I am completely won over。 I would recommend Nachos for Dinner to nacho lovers, sure, but it offers much more than that。 Cooks of various levels who are interested in exploring good food in new combinations will have fun with these recipes, even if they never actually serve nachos for dinner。 。。。more
Ess,
As a beginners guide for learning to make various nacho dishes, this is a great introductory cookbook to start with! However, as someone who wants an adventurous, out-of-the-ordinary spin on nacho-making cuisine, this book is on the low end of the “adventure” spectrum。 I have already seen recipes for “dessert” and “ultimate” nachos and hoped for more in regard to spectacular nacho making。 I received an ARC from the author and publisher in exchange for an honest review。
Alexandra,
Great for those who like nachos。 A great starting basics then goes into dishes that are nacho-style。 Good for those who want a variation of this dish。
Megan Griest,
Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of “Nachos for Dinner”! This cookbook is full of recipes for every occasion and palette, and includes vegetarian options, desserts (try the s’mores nachos!), and some perfect recipes for game day。 I can’t wait to try the pierogi nachos this fall! This is one of those cookbooks that could get lost in a sea of others since it’s particularly focused, but these are much more than your parents’ nachos!

I haven’t had a go at the more exotic recipes yet (Gyros on Pita crackers is as crazy as I got), but even regarding the more normal recipes, these were some of the best nacho’s I’ve ever had。 The recipes themselves are fairly simple and the ingredients easily available (the only thing I couldn’t find at our supermarket was a jicama)。The book itself looks great as well。 It is bright, vibrant and clear。 I would have preferred some more pictures… mainly just to drool over。 I love how there is both a lot of guidence if you need it, but you are also let free to experiment and just do whatever you want。I will most definitely get my hands on a physical copy of this book, and I cannot wait to work my way through it。 They may not be The healthiest dinners, but damn they are tasty ones。 。。。more
