Weekend Projects®

Welcome to the weekend projects category page, which features a collection of recipes that are perfect for tackling on a lazy weekend. These recipes are more involved than our weeknight winners, and are perfect for those occasions when you’re looking to spend more time in the kitchen or are preparing a special meal for loved ones.

From homemade bread and pasta to slow-cooked stews and roasts, these recipes require a bit more effort but are worth it in the end. Whether you’re an experienced home cook or want to hone your culinary skills, our weekend projects recipes are sure to impress.
