Event Details
Recipe developer and cookbook author Alexis deBoschnek releases her new cookbook "Nights and Weekends: Recipes That Make the Most of Your Time." Known for entertaining friends and family at her 100-acre farm in Catskill, New York (followers regularly tune in to her “Cooking for Friends” Instagram series), Alexis was unexpectedly thrust into a full-time caretaker role a few years ago, which shifted her perspective on how to get interesting yet quick dinners on the table.
Alexis was inspired to write her second book, "Nights & Weekends," guided by the desire to nourish quickly after a long day, and host more leisurely on the weekends. The book features more than 100 new recipes that are both practical and inspiring, and it is divided into two sections: Nights, dishes to cook on busy weeknights less than 40 minutes, Weekends, meals to make when you have more time on your hand.
About the Author
Alexis deBoschnek is a recipe developer and cookbook author based in the Western Catskills of upstate New York. Her debut cookbook, To the Last Bite (2022), was named one of The New York Times “Best Cookbooks of the Year,” and her work has appeared in Today.com, Food52, The Kitchn, and Bon Appétit. Her second book, Nights and Weekends: Recipes That Make the Most of Your Time, published in August 2025, features more than 100 new recipes organized into quick, weeknight-friendly meals and more leisurely weekend dishes – an approach inspired by her experience as a full-time caretaker and her love of entertaining at her 100-acre Catskills farm, where she also shares recipes and everyday life with her followers through Instagram, Substack, and her “Cooking for Friends” series.
