This is a cookbook for your real life. The days when you’re busy, exhausted, or just don’t feel like spending a lot of time and energy cooking (we’ve all been there!). You want a delicious meal without the hassle of a lengthy ingredient list and time-consuming cooking process, and you’re looking to cut corners without sacrificing quality. With recipes for back-pocket dinners using just five ingredients that require little in the way of planning, you’ve come to the right place.

With recipes for back-pocket dinners using just five ingredients that require little in the way of planning, you’ve come to the right place.

To create meals that are short on ingredients but not on flavor, we followed three guidelines. We used test cook–approved (but totally achievable) cooking techniques to transform ingredients into something really special. We made our ingredients work overtime by using every last part (even ones we might usually toss). And we relied on store-bought items that squeeze multiple flavors into one jar (think: pesto or tomatillo salsa); pack a punch (like gochujang); or make our lives just a little bit easier (hello, pizza dough).
