Plated: Weeknight Dinners, Weekend Feasts, and Everything in Between
Plated: Weeknight Dinners, Weekend Feasts, and Everything in Between | Elana Karp, Suzanne Dumaine, Suzanne Lehrer
10 posts | 2 read | 11 to read
The more than 125 inventive, repertoire-building recipes in "Plated" will help you cook and eat food you love without having to think so hard about it. Every dish here will work no matter how much (or little) time you have to cook, whether it s quick dinner on a Monday for two or a backyard barbecue for a crowd. The recipes are all rooted in a core technique think One-Pan Roasted Chicken, Slow-Simmered Turkey Chili, or Cheesy Baked Penne but can also be customized according to peak produce and just what you re in the mood for. Step-by-step prep instructions and menu ideas take the stress out of cooking, so you know exactly what to do and when. Here, too, are ways for you to stretch these recipes, like basic marinades and spice rubs that can be used on almost anything, reinventions for leftovers, big-batch make-aheads, company-worthy feasts, and perfect sides. "Plated "is sure to become a well-loved, sauce-splattered staple in your kitchen."

BookBabe @Carolyn11215 Aww, that‘s a bummer. I feel you! We don‘t get Amazon Fresh delivery where we are, up on top of a mountain in the Poconos, PA. Luckily I can get all the meal kits! 7y

#BookNDinner! Went all out and cooked up something special for @MrBook and me tonight! Pan-seared wild caught Atlantic salmon fillet drizzled with dill lemon cream sauce, alongside roasted fingerling potatoes tossed with garlic sautéed kale, paired with a refreshing glass of chilled lemon sparkling water. ? So yum! Courtesy of Plated—thanks for the free meal! Let me know if you want the link for one! ? #MrBookBookBabeKitchen ?

8little_paws This looks incredible! 8y

Speaking of #cookbooklove, this Plated cookbook is another I've recently acquired (not pictured here because @MrBook and I tidied up our book piles—and now I can't find it 😛). I'm a Plated subscriber, I love their meals. They send great recipe cards (w/ gorg pics) that I've put into this cute binder. Their dishes are fancy and gourmet, complicated and time consuming, but delish! 🍴I'd love to hear others (easier ones) you've tried and recommend!

TheBookAddict Those do look nice. I like your binder as well! I enjoy the Taste of Home Cookbooks. There are so many recipes that I wish I could try. 😆 I just need the time, the kitchen and fridge space, and the money to buy all of the ingredients...oh and the appetite to eat it all. 😂 8y
andreadmw There was a recipe group I remember hearing about on the All the Books podcast. Prepdish dot com. They are not that beautiful but you get recipes and shopping lists for easy nightly meals. 8y
Donna_sBookMinute "Plated" sounds like the perfect book for admiring food photos. And I enjoy your and @MrBook's photo compositions. Presentation goes a long way. 8y

MicheleinPhilly I ❤️ Plated! Meal planning and grocery shopping is one of my least favorite chores so I find it to be damn near perfect. I've also used Blue Apron and should really steal this idea to organize the mountain of recipe cards. 8y
Crewgurl I use Blue Apron. Fancy, but not complicated. Some are more time consuming than others, but love it! I can have them send you an offer for a free box of you send me your email address 😊 8y
Victoria_C We've settled on Home Chef as our go to service. We have used Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, Plated and Chef'd! All have their good/bad points. Home Chef is more homestyle meals and more weekly choices than some of the others. 8y
BookBabe @MicheleinPhilly I'm with you! Meal planning is much more fun when someone else does it, and you only need to read mouth-watering descriptions and look at gorgeous photos to make your selections! 😍 And I loathe grocery shopping as well. 8y
BookBabe @MicheleinPhilly Absolutely, putting the cards in a nice binder makes them so much more enjoyable. And you get a sense of triumph as you leaf through the pages and think "Yep, I made all these!" Etsy has some one-of-a-kind cute recipe binders. 8y
BookBabe @Crewgurl Awesome! Would you please? My email is jenbissu [at] me [dot] com ... thanks! 😊👍🏻 8y
BookBabe @Victoria_C Wow, nice! You've experienced them all—that's great. If you can send me a referral link to try Home Chef (I know Plated does it), I would appreciate it! My email is jenbissu [at] me [dot] com 😊🍴 8y
Victoria_C Sent! It's a $50 trial week it says. For 2 people, I think that should get you 2 meals. We pay $119 for 3 meals for 4 people. You do the math!! LOL. 8y
BookBabe @Victoria_C thanks! 😊 8y
BookBabe By the way, if anyone wants to try Plated and have gourmet ingredients and recipes delivered to your door, leave your email below and I'll tag you with a savings code. 🙂 8y
Crewgurl Done! Let me know how you like it! 8y
BookBabe @Crewgurl thanks! 😊 Will do! 8y
LitsyGoesPostal 😎👍🏻 8y
Jinjer I used Home Chef for a year but now I‘m tired of the same old meals and the “peel & chop carrots on an angle”. #NoMoreCarrots I tried Plated thanks to your link, and several others. Now I need to go back to one of them. Meal planning on my own is too stressful! 7y

This cookbook isn't pedestrian, so-so book laid out like so many others. This is an extraordinary cookbook, beautifully photographed with easy to follow recipes. There are numerous recipes I would like to try but I started with one for salmon.

Gulfsidemusing Yum!😋 8y
MrBook Mmmmm... 8y
