About The Dinner Plan
Whether you’re a time-strapped professional, an empty nester, feeding a houseful, or just making sure you actually eat something day after day, figuring out what’s for dinner is a heavy lift. The Dinner Plan—a podcast (available here on Spotify and Apple Podcasts) and weekly recipe newsletter—is your resource for fresh cooking inspiration.
You’ll find dinner ideas that always hit, new cookbook recommendations and recipes from the latest cookbooks, plus the got-no-plan moves that transform whatever’s in your fridge into tonight’s meal. 60+ interviews in, I’ve learned so much.
Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and publication archives, and be sure to follow or subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts so you don’t miss an episode. Free subscribers get access to all weekly posts—but only paid subscribers and anyone who sends in a voice memo for the show are entered into our weekly cookbook giveaway.

Each week I talk to a cooking expert about finding inspiration in the kitchen, their go-to cookbooks and weeknight recipes, and pantry favorites that make quick dinners taste great. Here are a few popular episodes and newsletters you might want to check out.
About Maggie Hoffman
I’m the author of Batch Cocktails, which is all about pitcher drinks to make for a crowd, and The One-Bottle Cocktail, which is full of drinks you can make with a single spirit. I’ve worked as a bar reviewer for the San Francisco Chronicle and written for Food + Wine, Bon Appétit, and other outlets.
But my heart (and most of my career) has always been in the world of food. I served as the managing editor of Serious Eats and the senior editor and then digital director of the recipe website Epicurious. Last year I launched The Dinner Plan as a resource for anyone who struggles with kitchen burnout or just needs some ideas for dinner this week.
