Home cooking
Gulf
28 dishes, kept by one cook who puts their own weeknights on the shelf.
The Gulf shelf
What the Gulf cooks when it is cooking for itself.
One catalog, seen from one kitchen. The shelf opens on what households here cooked this week and closes on what gets made in twenty minutes, because that is what a weeknight actually looks like.

Plan a week from the Gulf
Dinejot builds the week around this kitchen: the same spice tolerance, the same effort on a Wednesday, and the things nobody at your table will eat, left out by construction.
