Big flavor, zero waste―the smart, budget-savvy cookbook from the founder of @thatswhatsheeats, whose recipes reach more than 1 million people each week.
Ever open the fridge and think there’s nothing to eat? In this joyful, no-nonsense debut, personal chef and creator Aubrey Johansen shows how to turn what’s already on hand into bold, satisfying meals―no takeout required.
Drawing on the scrappy creativity she learned in her early twenties when every ingredient had to stretch, she offers a modern approach to cooking that’s as delicious as it is doable. The book moves from go-to sauces, dressings, and pantry staples to grill favorites, farmers’ market standouts, freezer staples, and craveable sweets.
Recipes include Ultimate Smash Burgers, One-Pot Spicy Vodka-less Pasta, Chicken Tikka Masala Flatbread, Miso Sesame Grilled Salmon, and Banana Bread Stuffed Dates, along with versatile sauces and marinades used across dishes to minimize waste.
Complete with stunning, vibrant photography, this fresh, practical approach proves cooking on a budget can still feel abundant.

I am THRILLED to finally get access to Aubrey's arsenal of pantry-and-family-friendly recipes. Especially because I'm always a little jealous of her wife and their son who get to eat what Aubrey cooks every single day!

Page after page of Let's It In is filled with recipes I want to cook immediately. Every time I open to a recipe I'm delighted to realize that I already have the foundational ingredients sitting in my pantry or fridge. That just speaks to how thoughtful and smart of a cookbook Aubrey has created! Her food is warm, bright, and inviting, but most importantly, it inspires you to feel excited about cooking at home.
Let’s Eat In is a true gem for anyone who loves cooking delicious dinners from pantry staples. Aubrey has always had a knack for whipping up simply delicious meals and her debut book really spotlights that talent. This is one book every home cook will reach for again and again.

If you’re looking for a cookbook that will actually help you use what’s already in your pantry, this book is for you. Aubrey does a great job showing you how to make the most of what you have, from using up that half-full tub of miso to turning leftovers into something completely new. No more forgotten ingredients going bad in the back of the fridge!

This cookbook checks all the boxes. Just like her, Aubrey’s recipes are approachable, exciting, seriously delicious, and most importantly, actually doable, even with a hungry toddler on your hip! But what really makes this book a keeper are Aubrey’s genius tips and tricks for shopping smarter, prepping ahead, cooking with confidence, and making your freezer work for you.
