Hello family cook, grocery shopper, and/or dishwasher — old friend or new subscriber,
Save yourself the daily head-spin of what to make for dinner and start with these five posts, an introduction to 40 Ingredients Forever, which is a newsletter by me, Ali Slagle, devoted to dinners made with just my 40 go-to ingredients.
The limit isn't a gimmick. It's how I think most of us actually cook — starring at the same kale, beans, garlic, and eggs and wondering how to turn them into a meal that’s different from yesterday’s.
The recipes will give you complete dinners while also sharing techniques and little tricks to help you use what you have and make more with less. Hurried, hungry Tuesdays are my playground! My first cookbook’s name is I Dream of Dinner (so You Don’t Have To), and I also develop recipes for NYT Cooking. I love making everyday food that surprises and delights.
A crispy lamb and lemon rice that also shows a newfangled way to sear ground meat.
Or how to make any beans, sauce, and cheese into dinner.
I rolled hundreds so you don’t have to.
Starring a repeatable formula to call on when you don’t know what to cook.
A mellower, less splattery route to crispy-skinned fish.
This newsletter also has a monthly column called Dinner Tetris, where a reader writes in with their 40 forever ingredients and I Tetris them into three dinners. See Samin Nosrat’s Dinner Tetris here.
There are also other random, hopefully useful, hopefully happy-making posts, such as:
Thanks for being here and making this a kind, calm corner of the internet.
