Alison Roman Copycat Recipes

Alison Roman is the New York Times food columnist and cookbook author whose pantry-forward, minimal-fuss recipes went viral during the Instagram cooking era. Her Spiced Chickpea Stew with Coconut and Turmeric — known universally as #TheStew — cleared grocery store shelves in January 2019 and became one of the most-shared food writer recipes of the decade. Her salted butter chocolate chunk shortbread cookies (#TheCookies) achieved the same effect. Her cookbooks Dining In (2017) and Nothing Fancy (2019) are New York Times bestsellers. Roman's cooking style centers on unfussy technique, sharp seasoning, and affordable pantry ingredients elevated by smart herb work.
