Perfect for you if...

  • You work full-time and are tired of choosing between takeaway and something that tastes like cardboard.
  • You want to feed your family well on weeknights but don't have the bandwidth for complicated ingredient lists or technique.
  • You trust the New York Times test kitchen and want their best hits organised by cooking time and effort level.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer lengthy cooking projects and don't mind spending two hours on a single meal.
  • You avoid processed ingredients or shortcuts like sheet-pan cooking and pre-made sauces.
  • You're looking for a narrative cookbook with stories and context rather than a practical weeknight reference.

About this book

Easy Weeknight Dinners presents 100 recipes from New York Times Cooking, curated by editor in chief Emily Weinstein. The collection features recipes from contributors including Melissa Clark, Eric Kim, Yewande Komolafe, and Ali Slagle, with photographs and notes from the NYT Cooking community. Recipes are organized by main ingredient, cooking time, and difficulty level. The book includes dishes that can be prepared in 10 minutes or less, sheet-pan meals designed for minimal cleanup, and recipes emphasizing flavor with simple preparation. Specific examples include Beef Short Rib Rice Bowls, Feta with Chickpeas and Tomatoes, San Francisco-Style Vietnamese American Garlic Noodles, and Shrimp Fried Rice with Yum Yum Sauce. The collection is designed for busy people seeking weeknight meals, whether preparing single servings, family-friendly dishes, or meals for guests.
