Curated Cuisine is a monthly series examining all things edible, from the chefs cooking the food to the writers reviewing the recipes. Meet the people shaping the food industry, both local and national and enjoy a post-show bite inspired by the conversation.
Emily Weinstein, New York Times editor in chief of Cooking and the Food section, came to WBUR CitySpace for an interview about her new book, “Easy Weeknight Dinners,” featuring recipes from Cooking’s extraordinary contributing writers.
Inspired by one of The New York Times’s most popular newsletters, Weinstein’s “Five Weeknight Dishes,” this book offers 100 fast and flavorful meals that will satisfy whether you’re seeking a standout dinner for one, crowd pleasers for picky kids or something special for company. Just because you’re busy doesn’t mean that you can’t have something excellent to eat.
Weinstein was joined by popular Cooking columnists Melissa Clark and Eric Kim, who discussed recipe writing, go-to meals and tips for easy excellence in the kitchen. WBUR senior correspondent Deborah Becker moderated the conversation.
This event was produced in partnership with Cambridge School of Culinary Arts.
