Crispy Base + Melty Sauce + Flavorful Topping = Nachos make a perfect sheet pan dinner! It's like a dream come true! First, because you now have an invitation to eat a plate of nachos as a real meal, and second, because here are dozens and dozens of recipes and ideas to transform this beloved snack into a nourishing sheet pan dinner. Plus dessert. Written by the irrepressible Dan Whalen, Nachos for Dinner combines the mad-genius spirit of his previous books, 'Smores and Tots!, with the practical brilliance of Sheet Pan Suppers. First Whalen breaks down the nacho's intrinsic appeal to its three essential components—a crispy base, a melty sauce, and a flavorful topper. And then he gives you the three flavor profiles—a lot of umami, a little heat, and something bright-tasting, whether pickled or fresh. From there the world is your nacho plate. Of course there's the chips-and-cheese classic, but then the nachos veer decidedly into dinner, with favorites from every part of the meal from French Onion Nachos, Buffalo Chicken Nachos, and Cobb Salad Nachos to Fish Taco Nachos, Banh Mi Nachos, and Shrimp and Grits Nachos.

Drool!!

I’m having trouble writing this, because I’m salivating to get to the kitchen and start cooking some nachos! Drool is real! The title of this book is deceptively simple. What do you find inside it’s not simply your run-of-the-mill “throw some cheese, beans, meat, and veggies on top of some store-bought chips” recipes. This is a legit cookbook with international and varied regional offerings. And it’s not just dinner nachos! There are nachos for any meal , situation, mood or style - and even dessert. Suggestions are made using a wide array of “bases” and although sometimes the recipes stray a little bit off a real “nacho” course, that’s forgiven because the ideas are so creative, delicious and appealing. I just want to throw an Everything Nachos party tonight! I really loved the first chapter which introduces recipes for different cheese sauces (including a vegan one!), slaws, salsas, and chips, Not to mention guacamoles, beans, meats, and even side dish veggies to compliment your creations. The pictures are a great bonus as is the conversion table in the back I’m not a huge “chef” and don’t particularly enjoy cooking, but this cookbook might just convert me!

Meh

Not enough pictures. Book is slim. I do like the attention to the individual aspects of a nacho, and how they come together. Was hoping for more after waiting 6 months for release, due to delay, after delay.

Unique and delicious

Thanks to Workman Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this delightful and fun cookbook. There's a lot to love about this cookbook. There are so many unique recipes such as Caprese nachos, street corn nachos, lobster nachos, and cheeseburger nachos. Then there are chipless options, too - falafel, chicken tikka masala naanchos, lasagn'chos. Another interesting component to this book is that the sauce and topping recipes are separate from the nachos so it makes it easy for you to use those recipes in other dishes of your choosing. This would be a great book to have on hand if you like to host football parties or other events where appetizers are a must,

Fun Food!

This is an inventive cookbook that I enjoyed previewing very much. I prepared several of the nacho “dinners” and they were outstanding. A particular favorite , the street corn nachos. I found that following the amounts of Ingredients suggested created the balance of ingredients for perfect nachos every time. The variety of recipes was great , including many different ethnic food ideas and even dessert nachos. The directions were very clear and specific. The photography was well done. I especially liked that the preparation of many “ingredients” were included , for instance the section about making fresh cremas , salsas and the seasoned proteins for the nacho recipes. This book is perfect for busy families who want some great fun meals and young people starting out on their own - thinking of college students and young professionals. Thanks to NetGalley and Workman Publishing for the opportunity to try out this cookbook.

A fun cookbook!!!

Thank you NetGalley, Dan Whalen and Workman Publishing Company for the ARC of Nachos for Dinner. This is my personal review. First let me say the title got my attention- Nachos for Dinner! What’s not to love about that idea. But then to find recipes that are for every meal and any time of day! We are a nacho loving family, and this cookbook was a joy to read. We love the idea of the different ideas of what to use to make something other than the standard nachos we all know and love. I can not wait to have a party and show off my nacho making skills to my guests! I will be buying a copy of this for myself and all my friends and family to have in their cook collections.
