What can I make when the vegetables available at the market change from week to week?
Plan by role or category rather than one exact vegetable: for example, keep options for leafy greens, dense vegetables and watery vegetables. Choose a substitute based on flavour, texture and cooking time.
Why it happens
Market availability changes with weather, harvests, price and supply. A rigid meal plan can become costly or impractical when its main ingredients are unavailable.
How it works
Category-based planning preserves the meal's structure while allowing the actual produce to change. The substitute's moisture and cooking behaviour still need to be considered.
