October 9th 2024.
The highly awaited cookbook “Easy Weeknight Dinners: 100 Fast, Flavor-Packed Meals for Busy People Who Still Want Something Good to Eat” has finally been released! Inspired by the delicious recipes featured in this newsletter and the amazing readers like you, the book hit the shelves on Tuesday. I am beyond excited for you to get your hands on it and see all the mouth-watering dishes it has to offer.
To celebrate the book's debut, we are featuring the cover dish, Melissa Clark's skillet chicken with tomatoes, pancetta, and mozzarella. This dish is a must-try for anyone who loves saucy, bubbling-skillet vibes. But that's not all, we also have four brand-new recipes from the NYT Cooking universe that are sure to become classics and maybe even make it into another book in the future.
We have some exciting events lined up, starting with a live taping of the “Taste” podcast in Brooklyn on Tuesday night. I will be joined by the weeknight-cooking queen Ali Slagle at the Talea taproom in Williamsburg from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. On Thursday, I will be in Montclair, New Jersey with Melissa Clark, followed by a stop in Washington, D.C. with Eric Kim on Monday, and then in Richmond, Virginia on Tuesday.
Aside from the cookbook, I also have another important event to celebrate - my older kid's 7th birthday! And what better way to honor the occasion than by making her a birthday cake, one of my favorite food rituals. She requested a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and a cat theme that is yet to be determined.
Now, onto the mouth-watering recipes. First up, we have Melissa Clark's "Pizza Chicken" - a tangy, milky, gooey, and lovable meal that is reminiscent of chicken parmesan. The succulent bone-in chicken pieces are cooked to perfection and topped with a delicious combination of tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, pancetta, and anchovies. The whole dish comes together in under an hour, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
Next up is Ali Slagle's Corn and Cod Green Curry - a Thai-inspired curry that combines the sweetness of corn, creamy coconut milk, and flaky cod with the fruity and fragrant aromatics of green curry paste. The finishing touch of lime, basil, and thinly sliced bok choy adds a burst of freshness to every bite. And the best part is, you can substitute fresh corn with frozen corn kernels for a taste of summer all year round.
So, whether you're in the mood for a saucy, cheesy skillet dish or a flavorful, Thai-inspired curry, these recipes are sure to satisfy your taste buds. Give them a try and let us know what you think!

To make this curry even easier, you can use frozen corn kernels instead of fresh. Serve it on its own or with rice or rice noodles for a complete meal.
