What to Cook This Week

Last Updated March 16, 2020

Classic Bolognese by the doyenne of Italian cooking, Marcella Hazan.

In this first week of hibernation and "social distancing," the freezer might still be full. As such, we're focusing on beef and chicken and meals that are great as leftovers or repurposed from a roast. Now is the time for long simmered comforting dishes, such as Beef Braciole and Bolognese sauce. Or roast chicken that can be repurposed into stock and chicken salad. Enjoy and stay safe.
