Why this week

Room for a nicer meal. Better cuts, a bit of fish, eating out at home — with a ceiling and a real list, so it is comfortable, not careless.

Two people is the sweet spot. Most things get used up, and leftovers make lunch.

The quickest meal is Cold tomato cheddar dippers at 12 minutes and the slowest is Chickpea ratatouille with bread at 45. Across the week you get 7 different main proteins, around 32g of protein per serving, 17 meals in 30 minutes or under, and 3 that double up well if you want to cook once and eat twice.
