Description:
Forget everything you think you know about meal prep. It doesn't have to mean sad containers of plain rice and limp greens waiting for you in the fridge—and it certainly doesn't have to mean sacrificing an entire Sunday to the cause. In this livestream class, Milk Street's Associate Director of Education April Dodd is here to show you smarter, more joyful ways to get ahead in the kitchen.

April will guide you through three recipes that are as practical as they are flavorful: a fragrant South Indian lemon rice with fried peanuts and coconut, brightly spiced stir-fried cabbage with onion and peas, and tandoori-style yogurt-marinated roast chicken. Each of these dishes is worth making on its own merit, but together, they reveal a versatile, mix-and-match weeknight strategy that keeps things fresh all week long. As we cook, April will help you understand how to adapt stovetop for the oven and the microwave—yes, the microwave, your least-appreciated kitchen appliance—to reduce your total number of dirty dishes and keep your kitchen from overheating. She'll walk you through how each dish holds up in the fridge and freezer and discuss how to efficiently—and safely—bring them back to life without losing any of their character. And she'll introduce you to her new favorite storage containers for easy movement between fridge, freezer, microwave and lunchbox. This is meal prep reimagined: flexible, full of flavor and genuinely fun. You'll leave with three go-to recipes, a new set of techniques and a completely different relationship with your leftovers.

About April: April Dodd is Milk Street’s Associate Director of Education. She runs Milk Street’s program of guest-taught cooking classes, teaches livestream and in-person events and leads the cooking school’s sponsorship program.

This class is generously sponsored by Anyday. Anyday’s mission is to help people reclaim their love of cooking and their free time by unlocking the power of their microwaves. Here's a stunning fact: 90% of U.S. households already have a microwave. (That’s 110 million households!) Most of us have no idea what our microwaves are actually capable of, beyond reheating leftovers and coffee. That’s where Anyday comes in.

Anyday creates products that unleash this microwave magic: turning raw ingredients into delicious and nutritious home-cooked meals — in record time. Anyday makes it easier to enjoy the flavors and recipes you love. No tradeoffs, any meal and any day of the week. It’s about time you put your microwave to work. Because at the end of the day, we all need more free time to connect with the people we care about.

Milk Street students will get a special code for 20% off their order of anything from the Anyday store. April will be using both their glass dishes and their Anydeli containers, a new line of nontoxic, platinum silicone containers that deliver everything we love about deli containers with none of the plastic.
