One pot orzo with asparagus, lemon and dill
We are talking one-pot wonders and sheet pan dinners
Welcome to Choy Love Club’s Dinner Diaries. And welcome to all my new readers/eaters! There has been an overwhelming - I mean OVERWHELMING - response to my WHAT SHOULD I COOK FOR DINNER TONIGHT? conundrum last week, so it’s really nice to know that this weekly dispatch will be of service to home cooks everywhere. Thank you for making my newsletter an instant
Featured Newsletter.As a person very much guided by impulse, I want Choy Love Club to evolve constantly and while I plan to be constant with Dinner Diaries, I plan to throw in a few random dispatches too. So far, I’m planning to share books, podcasts and articles I’ve been enjoying, and I’m currently putting together the long awaited playlist that Instagram followers have been asking for! Coming soon.
This week, I have not only three fantastic recipe suggestions to cook this week, but also a BONUS new original recipe! As some of you will know, I launched my Choy Love Club chat last week and reader Archana mentioned she loved one-pot dinners, which I’m sure we all appreciate during the week. It just so happened I was cooking up a one-pot orzo (or risoni) with asparagus, lemon and dill that day, so it feels like a fortuitous time to share that recipe here plus three other tasty one pot or sheet pan dinner ideas this week.
And a quick note, for those of you who also love easy one pot meals, there are several in my new book Tenderheart - including an irresistible kale dumplings with brothy butter beans, a cheesy kale and rice cake bake, an incredible mushroom miso ragu and many more easy, weeknight-friendly vegetable meals. The US and international release is creeping up. I’m announcing the pre-order campaign incentive in April, but if you want to get ahead and pre-order now, you can do so here: USA, Canada, UK, Everywhere else - just remember to keep your receipts or email confirmations.
