These recipes take a particular form: a list of ingredients followed by step-by-step directions for how to use them. But I don’t just cook with recipes, and I am not alone. Every Wednesday for the past four years, I have published on The New York Times one of these no-recipe recipes. What follows are some highlights from our archive of them, suggestions for things you might cook yourself, without a recipe. Sign up to receive the What to Cook newsletter and get no-recipe recipes every Wednesday.
