Trinity Mouzon Wofford doesn’t want to be locked into meal planning. Her advice: get into the routine of putting together a base layer of component cooking, transforming raw ingredients into something that's easily assembled into a salad, a soup, a rice bowl, or a pasta. In this episode of The Dinner Plan, Trinity urges home cooks to relax into the process of doing some things by hand on a slow day, so our quicker meals can build on that foundation. What kinds of dinners does she assemble? Trinity answers that, and shares her go-to summer entertaining menu, her method for cooking more flavorful beans, and the best soup she's ever had in her life.
