Recipes in this collection

Plan a meal around your main dish

Choose by cooking method

An oven-baked pie or pizza needs a different timetable from a stovetop risotto or a simmered stew. Choose a recipe that fits the equipment and attention you have available.

Make room for vegetables

A rich pie or fried chicken can work well with a simple vegetable side. For a meal built around vegetables, explore the jackfruit pie or shakshuka and check the full ingredient list for your needs.

Plan portions and leftovers

Check the recipe yield before you shop. If you plan to save part of the meal, follow appropriate cooling and storage guidance for the ingredients rather than leaving cooked food out during serving.
