Get our app and get cooking

By The New York Times Cooking

We’ll keep this short, because you have a lot of recipe browsing and saving to do: For a limited time, all of the recipes in this newsletter — and all of our New York Times Cooking newsletters — are free to read in the New York Times Cooking app. You just need to register for a free account.

If you don’t already have our app, you can download it for your iOS or Android device. And if you have our app, but haven’t clicked around in a while, now’s a great time to get reacquainted and meet some of our new features:

Want even more access to free recipes in the app? Make sure you’re signed up for our other NYT Cooking newsletters:

  • Get weekly vegetarian cooking inspiration, tips and menu ideas from Tanya Sichynsky in The Veggie.
  • Each Tuesday, Emily Weinstein shares five fast and family-friendly dinner ideas in Five Weeknight Dishes.
  • And for even more effortless dinner planning, there’s Dinner Tonight, which sends one easy recipe to your inbox at 4 p.m. E.S.T., Monday through Thursday.

What will you cook first? Maybe Hetty Lui McKinnon’s beloved dumpling and tomato salad with chile crisp vinaigrette? Or those beans that went viral on Reddit? It’s not summer without elotes and limonada, peach cobbler and zucchini bread.

And if you know someone who’s been meaning to join New York Times Cooking but hasn’t yet, send them this email. They can click here to sign up for our Cooking newsletter, which, again, is now full of free recipes to read in the app.

Enjoy!
