Every Night of the Week: Sanity solutions for the daily dinner grind

Description

'Lucy has a special gift. Everything she touches turns to magical, sparkling loveliness.' Donna Hay Welcome to Every Night of the Week, a cookbook for people who don't like hard-and-fast recipes, by food and recipe writer, stylist and Instagram genie Lucy Tweed. Some days you want to cook; other days the goal is simply 'food in mouths'. MONDAY has potential. There are lists and ideas. The herbs are fresh and the fridge is full. TUESDAY the week has begun. Can we have efficient and beautifully delicious please? WEDNESDAY we wonder what day it is. Cook with a dash of laziness; it tastes great. THURS ... we're not even typing the full day anymore. What's in the freezer? What can we pimp? FRIDAY is family fun. 'Decorate' your own pizza, kids, or DIY san choy bau. Time to exhale. SATURDAY is the flex day, time to stretch the repertoire. Hmm, who's around for lunch? SUNDAY is for brunch and linner; two leisurely meals, eaten in absolute comfort. THAT EXTRA DAY YOU WISHED FOR is the secret day that will save your bacon Tues-Thurs. 'My signature dish is Lucy's recipe that she taught me in less than an hour. But don't tell anyone; I get a lot of compliments.' Wil Anderson

She began her career as a food developer and stylist working for nine years at Donna Hay magazine, learning all about the beauty of simple, fresh food. Clean and strict in style, it was akin to being taught to pencil-draw the perfect circle in art class - necessary skills that she could then adapt to grow her own style. She has worked in food styling, menu creation, travel writing and art direction for Merivale, Smeg, Westinghouse, Gourmet Traveller, SBS, Bauer Media, Vic's Meats and many more. She runs workshops and VIP dinners on food styling and photography.
