Weeknight dinners can be a slog: you're tired, you're hungry, you are very tempted to call Szechuan Garden. The participants in this month's Shine Supper Club reminded us that dinner doesn't have to be difficult. When even just a few minutes chopping and stirring can reap results as gorgeous as these, we find ourselves officially inspired to put down the takeout menu and reclaim the kitchen. We narrowed the field to a few especially sumptuous recipes. Now you choose the winner!

Alice Waters is often knocked for being elitist, but her incredibly useful book The Art of Simple Food is about as basic as they come. It's the perfect cookbook to give any twenty-something just setting up her or his first kitchen, but experienced cooks will also find a wealth of tips and recipes.

One of my favorites is Water's easy weeknight recipe for chicken legs braised with onions, garlic, tomatoes and herbs. All summer, my go-to chicken dish is grilled boneless skinless thighs-they can be seasoned 100 different ways and make excellent leftovers tossed into a salad on a steamy night. But as the days get a little cooler, at least here in Brooklyn, I'm starting to think about gently cooked meat, succulent and falling off the bone. Thank you Alice Waters for inspiring this easy, cozy dish to contribute to the Shine Supper Club.

1 large yellow onion, sliced thin or diced
