Food52: A New Way to Dinner
A Playbook of Recipes and Strategies for the Week Ahead
Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, founders of the online kitchen and home destination Food52, pull off home-cooked dinners with their families with stunning regularity. But they don't cook every night.
Starting with flexible base dishes made on the weekend, Amanda and Merrill mix, match, and riff to create new dinners, lunches, and even desserts throughout the week. Blistered tomatoes are first served as a side, then become sauce for spaghetti with corn. Tuna, poached in olive oil on a Sunday, gets paired with braised peppers and romesco for a fiery dinner, with spicy mayo for a hearty sandwich, and with zucchini and couscous for a pack-and-go salad.
Amanda and Merrill’s seasonal plans give you everything you need to set yourself up well for the week, with grocery lists and cooking timelines. They also share clever tips and tricks for more confident cooking, showing how elements can work across menus and seasons to fit your mood or market, and how to be scrappy with whatever’s left in the fridge. These building blocks form A New Way to Dinner, the key to smarter, happier cooking that leaves you with endless possibilities for the week ahead.

Given the number of cookbooks devoted to weeknight cooking strategies, dinner is a "problem" we have yet to solve. Hesser and Stubbs (cofounders, Food52.com) offer a solution in the form of 16 seasonal meal plans that direct cooks to spend hours shopping and cooking in order to prepare a week's worth of multicourse dinners and leftovers-based lunches. Where other Food52 cookbooks are accessible, this one is daunting. Few readers will make these menus in their entirety, and many will balk at the ultra-specific grocery lists (one calling for 45 large ramps). Included are some delicious individual recipes; however, a good portion can already be retrieved from Food52.com. VERDICT Expect much buzz surrounding this cookbook, but consider it carefully. Other Food52 titles, such as the outstanding Food52 Genius Recipes, will appeal to a wider audience.
