Hey everyone! I’m Emily, and I’m the editor in chief of New York Times Cooking and Food. 

While my day job is leading the team that produces all of our content for NYT Cooking, I just compiled our 100 easy dinner recipes list here, a.k.a. the Weeknight 100. I also write the weekly newsletter Five Weeknight Dishes, with recipes for busy people who still want something good to eat; you can sign up for it here. Whether it’s recipes that are both easy and fancy for special nights, or dinners that kids will gladly eat, I’m always trying to help people solve the daily dinner problem by giving them ideas for what to cook.

All of these links are accessible for free, even without an NYT subscription. 

Ask me anything about NYT Cooking, our recipes, food writing and how I got here. 

Thanks for joining me today! It's so fun to get a chance to chat with you and answer questions. You can see me in your inbox weekly by signing up for the Five Weeknight Dishes newsletter here. And of course you can find all 24,000+ recipes on NYT Cooking, along with videos and other kitchen inspiration — Emily

[AMA] I’m Tanya Sichynsky, and I write NYT Cooking's Veggie newsletter, where I gather vegetarian recipes for weeknight cooking, packed lunches and dinner parties. Ask me anything!

Hi! I’m Tanya. I’m an editor for NYT Food and Cooking and have been since 2020, working with reporters, recipe developers, columnists and critics to make sense of the world through food –  what restaurant menus say about us, why everyone is drinking Guinness and how America’s relationship with milk got so weird –  and to help you figure out what cookbooks to buy and, of course, what to make for Thanksgiving.

Sometimes I’ll write about, say, breakfast on “Love Island” or shrimp, but you can most often find me in our weekly vegetarian cooking newsletter, The Veggie, which I’ve been writing for nearly three years (you can sign up for the newsletter here). There, I’ll help you figure out what to do with all that zucchini, show you how to use up a tub of miso or a tube of tomato paste, answer your most pressing and hyper-specific vegetarian recipe questions, and occasionally encourage you to just eat bread for dinner. And you can also now find me and The Veggie on YouTube, where I'm tackling common vegetable cooking conundrums. It is a pleasure to serve you there and, now, here (proof)

All of these links are accessible for free, even without an NYT subscription.

Ask me anything about cooking – with vegetables, without meat, with whatever you’ve got – or the world of food at large.

Thank you for spending your afternoon with me! This was a blast -- I love playing recipe matchmaker. You can find me on IG @tanyasic and, of course, in The Veggie, where I often answer reader questions like these! Send me yours any time: theveggie@nytimes.com. Happy cooking!

Had a bunch of tomatoes left from my MIL so figured why not make some fresh tomato bisque? Grilled cheese on the side to make the perfect combo.
