These are recipes that don't chase trends, viral moments, or complicated techniques. From an It's going to be OK midweek chicken stew, to a Soup for exhausted people, to a whole chapter of one-pots and a range of midweek pastas – these recipes are for people living real, imperfect lives— the ones caught in the relentless rhythm of daily life.
