‘Lucy has a special gift. Everything she touches turns to magical, sparkling loveliness.’ Donna Hay

Some days you want to cook; other days the goal is simply ‘food in mouths’. Welcome to Every Night of the Week, a cookbook for people who don’t like hard-and-fast recipes, by food and recipe writer, stylist and Instagram genie Lucy Tweed.

• MONDAY has potential. There are lists and ideas. The herbs are fresh and the fridge is full.
• TUESDAY the week has begun. Can we have efficient and beautifully delicious please?
• WEDNESDAY we wonder what day it is. Cook with a dash of laziness; it tastes great.
• THURS … we’re not even typing the full day anymore. What’s in the freezer? What can we pimp?
• FRIDAY is family fun. ‘Decorate’ your own pizza, kids, or DIY san choy bau. Time to exhale.
• SATURDAY is the flex day, time to stretch the repertoire. Hmm, who’s around for lunch?
• SUNDAY is for brunch and linner; two leisurely meals, eaten in absolute comfort.
• EXTRA DAY YOU WISHED FOR is the secret day that will save your bacon Tues-Thurs.
