Food52 A New Way To Dinner

The meal prep strategy in this book actually works for my chaotic weeknights, and the recipes are clever without being fussy. I especially love how they map out the entire week's cooking upfront.

The whole premise of cooking components on Sunday and assembling them during the week actually stuck for me. Last Tuesday I had a bowl of their roasted vegetable thing on the table in ten minutes, and the hardcover has held up fine to being propped open with a can while I cook.

The hardcover feels sturdy enough to actually keep on the counter, and the recipes are organized by components you make ahead rather than full meals. I've been cooking from the Sunday prep sections for a few weeks and weeknights are noticeably less frantic.
