Ali Slagle's new cookbook aims to help the typical person "find joy and ease" in the kitchen with simple, seasonal recipes.

A Provencal dinner at Nick and Toni's, dry-aged beef showcase at Citarella, Santorini Sundays at Elaia Estiatorio, and lobster rolls from Shinnecock Lobster Factory and beers from the Top Hops Beer Shop are ready to roll, literally.
