The Table

Weeknight dinners that taste like weekends, holiday menus that run on time, and the pantry that makes both possible.

We cook the way most people actually live: on a Tuesday, with a full day behind us, and occasionally for twenty.

Expect recipes written as plans: an ingredient list you can shop from, four to six numbered steps and the temperatures that matter. We use standard ratios and USDA food-safety temperatures, and we tell you what can be made ahead.

Every Sunday, The Gloss Letter carries a four-night weeknight menu with a single shopping list.

A note from the editors

The secret to ten-minute dinners is a stocked pantry: tortillas, canned beans, good broth, frozen peas, eggs and one great hot sauce.
