Cook · Every Sunday

Cook once, eat three nights

One big cook on Sunday afternoon, and the three weeknight dinners it turns into. One shopping list, a Sunday timeline, and exactly what to save for each night. Most weeknights are 20 to 30 minutes.

How it works

Sunday: one long, mostly hands-off cook that makes dinner that night and the base for the week: a pot of ragù, two roast chickens and their stock, a pot of beans, a pork shoulder and its broth.

Three weeknights: each one says exactly what it uses from Sunday, and most take 20 to 30 minutes. Anything for late in the week goes in the freezer on Sunday night, because cooked food keeps 3 to 4 days in the fridge.

Save the whole week: the four recipes land in your cookbook in Chef's format, each on its night in your week plan, with a shopping list you can tick off in the store.
