I really don't need to get anymore cookbooks this spring (I've got 6 already...) but I may need to make an exception for this one, it seems perfect for where my family is at right now. Curious if you think a different cut of meat would work for this recipe? I've got a jar of pepperoncini just waiting in the fridge, but my family doesn't eat pork.

You could certainly braise chicken thighs in this liquid, it’ll just be much faster I’d think.

Love Christine's tip for rotating food! Keeps food from going to waste.

Love this approach to cooking and as someone who struggles finishing leftovers I’m excited to find some new inspo!

The second acts idea is something everyone needs to get better at! I know so many people who “won’t eat leftovers” and it’s such a waste (in more ways than one!) I hope her ideas help people get better at embracing them.

This kind of cooking is right up my alley, and I always love supporting a Canadian cookbook author! Thanks for bringing this book to my attention.

This is really fun and also I happen to have a mostly full jar of peperoncinis right now!

I love this puzzle mindset. It’s totally how I think about my weeknight cooking too. Like Tetris all falling into place!
