74 dishes, kept by 3 cooks who put their own weeknights on the shelf.
The Philippines shelf
What the Philippines 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.
