What’s for Dinner - Now You Know

Announcing a new feature in Gourmet Food

Welcome to readers who’ve followed the breadcrumbs to Gourmet Food from the old What’s for Dinner column! Help is on the way.


To honor loyal readers looking for daily meal planning help, I have decided to start a new feature here on the Gourmet Food page. Coming soon: your “What’s for Dinner Tonight” feature.

I will be posting a recipe along with a shopping list of ingredients. I’ll separate the ingredients by: what you probably have at home, and what you might need to pick up.

The idea will be to keep it short and sweet so that a harried person at the end of the work day can click, print and scoot home, list in hand, confident that dinner plans are under control.

A quick stop on the way home for an item or two and then dinner on the table in less time than you can say “Is your homework done? Has anyone walked the dog?”

I’m still fleshing out this idea, so please drop me a line to tell me what you most want to see.

  • Something new and different?
  • Is it something that kids can cook with you?
  • Does prep work the night before sound like a good idea or bad?

Also, what tips might be most helpful?

  • Items to stock in your pantry?
  • Weekend things you can do to expand your menu choices during the week?
  • Shortcuts? How to's?
