Weeknight cooking, organized around the clock

Emily Weinstein gathers 100 recipes from NYT Cooking contributors into a cookbook designed for the practical question of what to make on a busy evening. The collection is arranged by main ingredient, cooking time, and “wow factor,” making those different ways of choosing a meal part of its structure. Recipes range from very short preparations to sheet-pan dinners and dishes featuring standout sauces; the description also highlights community notes and food photography. The emphasis is on accessible weeknight options with varied ingredients and levels of effort, rather than a single cuisine or menu plan.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home cooks seeking quick dinner ideas for busy weeknights
  • Cooks who like choosing recipes by ingredient, time, or occasion
  • Those looking for options spanning solo meals, family dinners, and company
