Sam Sifton, an assistant managing editor of The New York Times and founding editor of NYT Cooking, has inspired millions of home cooks with his informal, improvisational No-Recipe Recipes, published in his beloved regular newsletter, "What to Cook." Sifton's argument is a simple one: Cooking with a freeform recipe is a kitchen skill every home cook can develop, it's easier than you think, and it's an easy way to make nightly cooking more satisfying and fun.
