What’s in your cooking repertoire? Do you have one?

When colleagues Becky Krystal, Aaron Hutcherson and I talked to host Cristina Quinn for the third season of her Post podcast, “Try This,” the subject came up quickly. The podcast’s goal is to help listeners learn how to overcome a common challenge, and this season is about finding joy in cooking. Becky (The Post’s recipes editor), Aaron (our Dinner in Minutes columnist) and I found ourselves beating the same drum: We made the case for cooks to learn a handful of dishes you can make over and over again.
