Cookbook club recap, a fresh take on creamed corn, and a vegetarian twist on Indian butter chicken! Our best home cooking bites of the week

Are you looking for a fresh take on how to use up your haul of peak-season summer corn?

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover some winning recipes from Sonya’s recent cookbook club meeting, and you’ll want to try an herbaceous, plant-based take on classic creamed corn. You’ll also discover an easy twist on butter chicken that requires no chicken at all, and comes together in one pot for a satisfying meatless weeknight dinner.
