Weekly Menu #611 And The Book Of The Week

 


This week we’re heading south—way south—for a taste of sunshine and spice with our Florida-themed menu. From citrus-marinated meats to sweet plantains and bold Cuban-inspired flavors, this week’s dishes bring the multicultural heart of the Sunshine State to your kitchen. Every meal is crafted with easy gluten-free and dairy-free options in mind, so you can savor the tropics without stress. Whether you're digging into mojo chicken or a guava-glazed Sunday dinner, expect bright, bold, and breezy meals all week long.

To match Florida’s air of mystery and magic, I’m diving into Book of Night by Holly Black. This dark urban fantasy follows Charlie Hall, a con artist navigating a world where shadows can be altered, stolen, and weaponized. With its gritty tone, morally gray characters, and a dash of noir, it's a sharp contrast to the brightness of the week’s menu—but somehow, the two feel like perfect complements. One feeds the body; the other keeps the mind deliciously unsettled.

Let's get to this week's menu. Enjoy!
