Can’t join us for#cook90, our month-long challenge to cook every meal? Make these weekend recipes and #cook7. (Note: this lineup offers plenty of opportunities to Instagram.)
The first rule of #cook90: no convenience foods. So if you want something ramen-ish, you'll need to make it from scratch. This spicy noodle soup picks up the flavors from everything in the pot, from the Szechuan peppercorn-spiked ground pork to the bracing flavor of the mustard greens. It's a low-effort dish with a big return.
Come morning, resist your corner deli’s bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich—you can do better! This breakfast sandwich delivers the meaty flavors with mushrooms two ways: with a mushroom mayo and a topping of marinated king trumpet 'shrooms.
Keep Saturday afternoon light with a salad of caramelized carrots and crunchy radicchio. Top the whole thing off with sliced almonds and orange segments for a salad that’s simultaneously crunchy and juicy.
Here, seasoned lamb shanks braise in red wine and pomegranate juice for a sweet-and-spicy dinner that’s great for dinner parties. (Hot tip: serve the shanks over creamy polenta.)
This porridge shakes off its bland reputation with doses of kimchi and Parmesan. Keeping the eggs’ cooking time at 6 minutes creates a soft-boiled egg with a jammy yolk that’s best mixed in with the rest of the bowl.
Skip the dim sum date—you’re doing things yourself now! This shrimp toast recipe lays on the sweet flavors of fried shrimp for a quick snack or light lunch, with no deep fryer required.
Who needs a fancy restaurant when you can make this stunning fish dish at home? If you can't find dorade at the fish counter, have your sous chef (er, significant other) grab red snapper or black bass instead.
