It’s absolutely perfect for an all-purpose dressing: combine it with soy sauce and orange juice and it’s out of this world good! It works wonders on salads, or drizzled on fish or bowl meals.

Homemade biscuits are what take us into the kitchen today to cook: fat, flaky mounds of quick bread, golden brown, with a significant crumb. Composed of flour, baking powder, fat and a liquid, then baked in a hot oven, they are an excellent sop for syrup, molasses or honey. They are marvelous layered with country ham or smothered in white sausage gravy, with eggs, with grits. They make a great Thanksgiving side. And if you've never made them before, you'll be delighted to know that biscuits are easy to make. Really.
I’m a big fan of dinners like this tortellini soup that you can make ahead of time, or throw together in 30 minutes, right before you’re ready to eat. That way I can buy what I need, and depending on how my days goes, I can start prepping it in the morning. Or if I don’t get to it early, I know it will be easy to throw together at dinnertime. This recipe was inspired by my Creamy Tomato and Spinach Tortellini pasta that has been so popular. And if you love tortellini, I’ve got several other tortellini recipes.
Shelf-stable gnocchi makes this play on potato-leek soup a total breeze to bring together. Parmesan rind and bright caramelized lemon are the keys to transforming store-bought vegetable broth into a rich, complex base. (Hot tip: Always save your rinds in the freezer for broth!) The leeks show up in two places: cooked down until they nearly melt into the soup itself and frizzled until crispy as a dynamic finishing touch alongside fresh dill and shaved parmesan.
This wedge salad veers from standard blue cheese dressing and instead gets adorned with a bold and thick herb-forward green goddess made with mayo and sour cream. The secret to Justin Chapple’s spin on the dressing is tahini, which adds depth, nuttiness, and a pleasantly bitter edge.
Adding ginger and soy sauce to caramelized onions gives a bit of zingy punch and intrigue, creating a multidimensional meal that comes together in just one skillet. Covering the onions briefly during the beginning of the cooking process helps them break down more quickly—a baking sheet will work if you don’t have a lid!
Birria Sauce or Birria Consome is a traditional Mexican sauce that can be used to make traditional beef birria, birria tacos, chicken birria, and more. It's spicy, smoky, and so delicious.
Whether you’re new to Mexican cuisine or well-versed in it, learn how to make homemade birria sauce full of bold, spicy, and balanced flavors.
Use it as the base for birria made with beef, chicken, lamb, or goat. Add it to tacos, enchiladas, or bowls. Use it anywhere you would use salsa or enchilada sauce for extra flavor.
Plus since it freezes well, you can make a big batch of this labor-intensive sauce and store it.
These tuna cakes grow crackly on the outside, but stay velvety on the inside thanks to creamy cannellini beans. They’re served alongside a crisp wedge salad with a briny ranch dressing that is studded with olives. It might seem to produce a lot of dressing, but it’s just enough for smothering the iceberg and dunking the tuna cakes. Best of all, this dish makes use of pantry staples, like canned tuna, beans and olives, so you can make it even when the fridge is looking bare.
A Korean dish of marinated meat, colorful vegetables and runny eggs arranged over a bed of fluffy rice, bibimbap is an edible work of art. The banchan, or side dishes, that are piled on top can vary, but this version includes tender beef bulgogi, meaty shiitake mushrooms, crisp bean sprouts, tender spinach, crunchy carrots and cool cucumbers. A spicy-sweet gochujang sauce is drizzled over the top, then everything is mixed together (bibim means “to mix” and bap means “rice” in Korean), breaking open the egg yolk to lend a rich creaminess to the dish. Be sure to scrape up the crunchy grains from the bottom of the pan, and serve with a side of kimchi, if you’d like, for even more texture.
Deglet Noors dates shine when they are cooked in chutneys, desserts or North African dishes like this whole roast chicken. The chicken is cooked with fluffy couscous that absorbs the sweetness of dates and the butteriness of toasted almonds. Supermarket Deglet Noors are often dark brown and hard, because they have been kept well past their natural point of ripeness; seek out soft, light-colored ones for the best flavor. —Julia Moskin
Your typical sheet-pan chicken recipe roasts everything together on a pan at once. This version pairs potatoes with the poultry, and tops everything off with fresh herbs and arugula, making it a true one-pan meal, salad included. A savory yogurt sauce adds a creamy touch, but it’s optional if you’re not a yogurt sauce fan. Feel free to double the recipe if you’re feeding a crowd, though make sure to use two sheet pans so that everything is spread out in one layer, which is critical for browning.
Unlike many restaurant preparations, this method doesn't overwhelm the chicken with sauce and cheese. The key to great non-soggy chicken Parmesan? Don't put any sauce under the chicken cutlets, just a little bit of sauce on top, so the breading stays relatively crisp. If you like a lot of sauce on your chicken Parmesan, that's fine, you can always serve extra sauce on the side. I also use some actual Parmesan cheese in this recipe! Curiously, most versions of chicken Parmesan only use mozzarella. Here, I'm going with a delicious mixture of fresh mozzarella, tangy Provolone and real Parmesan.
Another little trick I employ here is to add some grated Parmesan to the breadcrumbs, which adds another layer of flavor. You'll fry the breadcrumb and Parmesan crusted chicken breasts just to golden brown before transferring them to a baking pan and adding sauce (but not too much!), cheese, and herbs.
This White Chicken Chili is hearty, warming, creamy and perfectly comforting. It's a great alternative to traditional beef chili and makes a simple, yet completely delicious dinner! Makes about 8 cups.
Made with only 5 ingredients, these Crispy Smashed Brussels Sprouts are not only vegetarian but also vegan! The extra crispy bites come together with just a few simple steps. Just boil, smash, and bake until crispy! You can customize the seasoning with a little heat or fresh lemon zest.
These noodles, adapted from the cookbook "The Wok" by J. Kenji López-Alt, and based on the noodle dish originally created and served by Helene An at San Francisco’s Thanh Long restaurant, are extraordinarily simple and delicious on their own, but that doesn’t mean you can’t fancy them up a bit. They go very well with seafood, and some raw, shell-on shrimp stir-fried along with the garlic right from the start would be an excellent addition. Recently, I’ve taken to adding a few spoonfuls of tarako or mentaiko — Japanese salted pollock roe. Sushi-style flying fish roe (tobiko) or salmon roe (ikura) would also be a great addition, as would chunks of crab or lobster meat, or even Western-style caviar (if you’re feeling flush).
When we’re looking for a hearty, easy meal, this classic dijon mustard chicken recipe French-inspired dish is where we turn. The rustic French cream sauce is full of fresh herbs and mustard and robustly flavors simple chicken breasts. Our creamy Dijon chicken recipe is best served with a vegetable side, and we love it with Mashed Potatoes, Broccolini, Roasted Asparagus or Roasted Cauliflower. If you’re looking for another great cozy chicken dish, our Marry Me Chicken recipe is an all time favorite.
Fresh, homemade corn tortillas are unbelievably easy to make! They only have three ingredients (one of which is water, which barely counts), they’re fun to make (enlist the little people for this one!), and they’re even inherently vegan and gluten-free. Best of all? Homemade corn tortillas make the best tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas you have ever had in your life, if you can wait long enough to make something out of them and not eat them all straight out of the pan. Soft, foldable and warm from the skillet, homemade corn tortillas are a simple indulgence you can make anytime you want.

With crispy bits of pork, a peppery bite, and a velvety cheese sauce enriched with eggs, carbonara is just as easy to make for dinner as it is at 2 a.m. after a long night out. It’s one of Rome’s signature dishes, and just like cacio e pepe and other pasta recipes in that class, its simplicity demands proper technique and quality ingredients. Cured meat adds a salty depth to the dish, and while guanciale is the most traditional choice, diced pancetta or bacon also work well. Egg yolks give the carbonara sauce its luscious texture and golden hue, so pick up farm-fresh eggs if you can. And when it comes to the cheese and pasta, this is the time to spend a little extra: Buy a wedge of Romano cheese or real Parmigiano Reggiano and a nice box of spaghetti, bucatini, or rigatoni.
This spicy tuna mayo version mostly relies on pantry ingredients, making it a go-to for lunch or dinner. The lemon zest is an unusual but bright addition. It adds a fresh sparkle, relieving the filling of any tinny taste while mayo acts like a rich salve. Use Japanese sushi rice for the best texture. Once it all comes together, tins of budget tuna will suddenly feel fun and craveable.
If this is your first time, assembling the onigiri can be an adventure. These onigiri are purposefully generous, almost overflowing with filling. It’s okay if the triangles are more like blobs; they’ll taste great regardless. If all else fails, abandon the filling and shaping and simply scoop warm rice into bowls and top with the tuna mayo and sprinkles of furikake.
If you love pan pizza with an irresistible cheese frico crust, you will love this Detroit-style pizza recipe. The base is very similar to focaccia, light and airy, and thanks to a parbake, it’s sturdy enough to sustain a blanket of cheese, sauce, pickled jalapeños, and cup-and-char pepperoni. Below you will find step-by-step instructions for how to make excellent Detroit-style pizza at home and the secret to creating a tall and lacy cheese frico crust.
At the family-owned trattoria La Tavernetta Vittozzi, Anna Vittozzi taught us that the secret is skipping the breading and taking a more hands-off approach. By roasting olive oil-brushed slices in the oven, we got a golden-brown, luxurious eggplant, perfect for layering with a simple tomato sauce and fresh basil, plus plenty of cheese.
