game ape Our Book Is Here!
Our cookbook has arrived! Today is the release of “Easy Weeknight Dinners: 100 Fastgame ape, Flavor-Packed Meals for Busy People Who Still Want Something Good to Eat,” inspired by this newsletter and all of you. I’m thrilled for you to see it. You can order your copy here.
In honor of the book’s debut, we’re featuring the cover dish below: Melissa Clark’s chicken with tomatoes, pancetta and mozzarella, a must-make for anyone who appreciates saucy, bubbling-skillet vibes. The other four recipes here are all brand-new in the NYT Cooking universe, classics in the making that could someday fill another book.
We have a few events scheduled, starting with a live taping of the “Taste” podcast tonight in Brooklyn! I’ll be appearing with Ali Slagle, weeknight-cooking queen. Please join us at the Talea taproom in Williamsburg from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. I’ll be in Montclair, N.J., with Melissa Clark on Thursday, Oct. 10; in Washington, D.C., with Eric Kim on Monday, Oct. 14; and in Richmond, Va., on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
In addition to the cookbook, I’ve got another important birthday on the calendar: My older kid is turning 7, and I’m making her a birthday cake, one of my favorite food rituals. She requested chocolate cake, but with vanilla buttercream frosting and a cat theme TBD. (If I’m making you buttercream, it’s because I really care; I’m a cream cheese frosting devotee.)
That’s it from me today. Reach out anytime at [email protected]. I love to hear from you.
I’m also making:Sheet-pan tofu with corn and chiles; garlic braised short ribs with red wine; applesauce.
