Two dishes from each cuisine, written out in full
These are 10 of the plan's 155 meals, exactly as they appear inside: the ingredients with what to do to each one, the steps in order and, at every step, what goes wrong and why.
Mexican
Shrimp a la diabla
Shrimp in a sauce of árbol and guajillo chiles, hot for real. Twenty minutes, and the skillet makes all the noise.
20 min · 6 steps
Pork in salsa verde
Pork loin in cubes simmered in its own tomatillo sauce. Half an hour, one pot, and the sauce gets made while the meat softens.
35 min · 5 steps
Colombian
Chicken ajiaco
Bogotá's ajiaco worked out without potato: the cauliflower falls apart against the spoon and thickens the broth the way papa criolla used to, and the squash puts in the yellow. The guascas are what make it ajiaco and not chicken soup.
40 min · 6 steps
Carne desmechada
Shredded beef in hogao. You cook it once and it stretches to three meals: on a plate, in eggs, in a salad.
45 min · 4 steps
Puerto Rican
Chicken asopao
Brothy, orange and full of culantro, like the one after the beach. The chopped cauliflower goes in at the end and plays the grain; the zucchini gives it body. Forty minutes in a single pot.
40 min · 6 steps
Bistec encebollado
Steak with onion and vinegar, twenty minutes. It's the dish you make when there's no time but there is hunger.
20 min · 5 steps
Italian
Eggs in purgatory
Neapolitan: the eggs set inside a spicy tomato sauce, unbeaten and with no second pan. The spinach goes into the sauce before the eggs and makes the bed. Twenty-seven minutes and a single skillet.
27 min · 6 steps
Zucchini carbonara with bacon
Zucchini ribbons in place of pasta, bacon browned in its own fat and an egg and Parmesan cream that sets off the heat. Twenty minutes and a lot of pepper, which here is half the dish.
20 min · 5 steps
American
Turkey chili
One pot that makes four meals and freezes well. It is the one you make on Sunday so you do not have to cook on Tuesday.
35 min · 5 steps
Cobb salad
A salad that actually fills you up. No stove at all if you already have cooked chicken, and that happens often if you make the other recipes.
