Others highlight easy methods or themes, including Supper Salads, Roast and Simmer and Easy Additions. And there's always time for pizza, tacos, "walk-away" recipes, one-pot wonders, ultrafast 20-minute miracles, and dessert.
Great food in quick time, every night of the week.

FAST: Pasta with Golden Onions
This classic Venetian dish combines onions, white wine, garlic and red pepper flakes with a topping of toasted panko breadcrumbs.
FASTER: Moroccan Chicken Skewers
A quick marinade with ginger, garlic, cumin and coriander transform chicken pieces into a grilled Moroccan-flavored meal.
FASTEST: Salmon Chraimeh
This spicy, quick tomato sauce with coriander and cumin is an easy way to dress up salmon.
Why TUESDAY NIGHTS Will Make You A Better Cook
Most cookbooks are collections of recipes. Tuesday Nights offers a new way to think about cooking so you can produce great, fresh food fast. Rethink the basics—turn a simple chicken into Moroccan-Style Braised Chicken.
The “Traybake” Roasts Chicken and Makes Its Own Garlic Sauce
Coriander Roasted Chicken takes three pounds of chicken parts and transforms them with ground coriander and ginger and turns roasted garlic cloves into an instant sauce with lemon juice, zest, EVOO and cilantro.
Harness the Power of Spices
The easiest way to change the way you cook, to produce bold, fresh dishes quickly, is to learn how to use spices. From the basic combinations such as cumin and coriander, to new types of pepper (Aleppo and Urfa), to common but underutilized spices such as smoked paprika and turmeric, the home cook can add big flavors quickly. Learn when to use whole spices versus ground, how to use spice blends to quickly turn a chicken or steak into something special, and hot to infuse spice flavors into almost any dish.
