Week of September 7

Labour Day opens the week on the grill, then the cooking turns indoors as the weather does. Apples, beets and the last sweetcorn carry the middle of the week, and the weekend ends on a whole roast chicken with root vegetables. Two dinners step outside American cooking.

Week of August 31

The week summer hands over to autumn. Tomatoes, corn and blueberries are still worth buying, so they carry the weekend, while the first cool-weather bowls turn up midweek in a squash soup and a beef and barley stew. Two meals step outside American cooking, both at dinner.

Week of August 24

The last full week of August, cooked mostly out of the late-summer haul: corn, tomatoes, blueberries and green beans. Weeknight dinners stay quick and mostly one-pan, and the weekend earns its slow ribs and a Sunday roast. Two meals step outside American cooking, both at dinner.

Week of August 17

Late-August cooking that leans on what is still cheap and good: blackberries, plums, sweetcorn and peppers. Weeknights stay quick and mostly one-pan, and the weekend makes room for crepes, a stir-fried noodle dish and a roast turkey breast.

Week of August 10

High summer cooking, built around sweetcorn, tomatoes and stone fruit while they are worth buying. Weekday dinners stay on one pan or one board, and the weekend takes its time over a risotto and a Sunday roast.

Week of August 3

High summer, so the produce does most of the work. Weekday breakfasts are five-minute jobs and the dinners lean on the grill and the pan rather than the oven. Peaches turn up twice, corn three times, and the weekend goes bigger with a shrimp boil on Saturday and a butterflied leg of lamb on Sunday.

Week of July 27

A week of summer cooking that keeps the weekdays quick and saves the slow jobs for the weekend. Monday to Friday, breakfast takes minutes and dinner is on the table within the hour. Then Saturday brings pancakes and a pulled pork worth an afternoon, and Sunday finishes with a roast chicken.
