Skip the skillet with this hands-off method to “oven fry” latkes in a muffin tin for Hanukkah – or any time of year.

This Jewish Venetian recipe of rice and peas is a cross between a risotto and a soup. This is a uniquely Venetian twist on the dish and is known as every Venetian’s comfort food of choice. In the Jewish Ghetto, this dish was often enjoyed during Passover, when rice was permitted, making it a cherished part of Venetian Jewish traditions.
Everyone says it is best to make this dish with fresh shelled peas but those are hard to find where I live so I went with frozen. I saw some versions where they pureed the peas into the broth to give it maximum pea flavor which works best when using frozen peas.
Traditionally made with pancetta the Jewish version uses the pea pod shells to make the broth. In lieu of the shells I pureed the peas into the broth.
This simple risotto doesn’t even require lots of stirring, but I assure you tastes like a professional risotto.

Stuffed chicken cannelloni is one of the most comforting dinners, and it's also one of the fanciest. (But we won't tell anyone else how easy it is.) This classic Italian dish is made of pasta tubes stuffed with chicken, cream cheese, spinach, and mozzarella. It's all topped off with a silky combination of roasted red peppers and Alfredo sauce, seasoned generously with Parmesan cheese. Served hot and bubbling, it's creamy, cheesy, and oh-so-satisfying.
To make it fast enough for a weeknight, rotisserie chicken is used, but you could also use leftover chicken or cook your own. Just be sure to shred it well so it's easy to eat inside the pasta. Prep it ahead and have it ready to bake for an impressive weeknight meal in a flash.

Before you start cooking, you should know that this recipe includes a healthy portion of pasta. This is optional — you can just make the chili — but “chili mack” is a glorious dish that you should embrace if you’re a spaghetti fanatic. Why did Davis use spaghetti instead of the traditional macaroni noodles? We don’t know, but who are we to mess with success?
Additionally, this chili recipe calls for beer, which is a common addition to chili broth. But Davis advises you to just drink the beer (Heineken, specifically), which we would say is optional.
Noodles and booze aside, we love that this recipe includes such specific seasoning. Davis literally lists one, single drop of red wine vinegar among these ingredients, for example. Which is the sort of precision we’d expect from a jazz musician.
Pre-seasoned with fragrant spices, falafel mix adds a fresh coat of crunch to tender chicken breasts that get baked to perfection. Round it all out with a refreshing salad made with Middle Eastern essentials like mint, cucumbers and yogurt.

Creamy tortellini soup is a brothy tomato-based soup flavored with vegetables, Italian seasoning, and a splash of tangy balsamic vinegar. It’s loaded with tender cheese tortellini and a few handfuls of baby spinach. A combination of flour, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream lends the soup its creaminess. There’s no meat in this version, and you can keep it vegetarian by using vegetable broth (chicken broth also works well, if you prefer to use that).

Making homemade pizza dough can sound like a lot of work, but it’s so worth the bragging rights. The dough itself requires few ingredients and just a little bit of rising and rest time.

Bake for 15 minutes, garnish with basil (or, let’s be real, more cheese), and enjoy showing off your way-better-than-takeout creation.
