AMAZING Dinner Recipes! You never have to ask, what's for dinner again!

The Modern Proper provides a wide variety of recipes that even a novice chef can create. This cookbook is well-organized, beautifully photographed, easy to follow, and revives the lost art of home-cooked meals. Holly and Natalie have crafted dozens of delicious recipes that turn ordinary into extraordinary. A cookbook well worth having on your shelf.

This book has some of the easiest, most accessible and absolutely delicious recipes of any cookbook I’ve seen. We use this book almost every day in our house for meals that are both simple and tasty. Your whole family will love this book! Trust me!

Every single Modern Proper recipe I have ever cooked has been absolutely amazing and loved by us, our kids, and friends. The recipes are easy to follow, with quality and inventive ingredient combinations and they taste out of this world. Their 30 min meals are game changers for busy weekend nights and the more elaborate recipes have elevated our holiday spreads for years. There is something for everyone in this cookbook and I can cannot wait to cook through all the recipes and find a our new favorite/staple family meals from the book. And finally, I am so excited to have all these recipes, and the beautiful images the book contains, sitting on my kitchen shelf permanently!!

Thank you to Simon Element and NetGalley for an Advanced Readers Copy of this cookbook. The Modern Proper is a cookbook for busy people who still like to eat well. I only received a partial copy of this book to review, but from what I read, the recipes look fairly easy to make but seem very tasty. I’m particularly interested in the Detroit style pizza that you can make in a cast iron pan. There are a lot of vegetarian recipes to appeal to both vegetarians and people who would like to eat meat free sometimes. I’m curious to read the finished product to see the rest of the recipes!
