Whoever first thought to beat sugar and egg whites into pillowy peaks has our gratitude. So does author Annie Rigg for thinking to swirl in cocoa and cinnamon.

It's no surprise that a traditional Scandinavian cookie would be warming. Chalk it up to an inspired melding of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, black pepper, and cocoa.

We’ve got stars in our eyes...and our bowls...and our spoons. All thanks to pastina, the teensy star-shaped pasta that just may make the cutest supper in the solar system.

Looks like upside-down cake. Tastes like upside-down cake. Yet this sticky citrusy dessert couldn't be more right side up as far as we're concerned.

The cutest, sweetest, happiest gingerbread people ever, right? They also happen to be the fastest, cheapest, unfussiest gingerbread cookies we've encountered.

Mushrooms and butter and garlic. Think you've been there, done that? Trust us, you haven't. Not like this, anyway.

Here's a nifty little trick. Reduce maple syrup until sticky, infuse it with spice, and rely on it to impart its ridiculously intense essence to pecan pie.

We used to get our gratins and scalloped potatoes confused. But then we tried this gratin. Guess which one is now our favorite?!

This all-butter, no-fuss pastry crust comes together with ease and flakiness thanks to a little well-worded hand-holding that caters to pastry-making virgins.

Time to change into your baggiest sweatpants—the ones with the no-longer-elastic waistband. (We can't be the only ones who keep those around, can we?!)

Simply stunning. Stunningly simple. These fancy pants pears are perfect after being poached in a cinnamon-infused syrup and drizzled with a coffee-infused caramel sauce.

The spirits summoned for this ghostly glow-in-the-dark Jello hail from a bottle, not the supernatural. (It's just a gin and tonic under a black light. Who knew?!)

A tarte Tatin is nothing more than a tart turned upside down, nothing less than pastry perfection. It's a lot of caramely apple goodness atop a buttery crust.

These beauties aren't unlike classic sugar cookies in terms of ease and appeal. They're just a little richer and a lot less expected.

What do we adore most about roast chicken? The fix-it-and-forget-about-it-ness of it. That and the countless ways to fancy it up. Here's one of our fuss-free favorites.

"Beautiful." "Filled with flavors." "A tad spicy." "Simple." "Perfect!" That's just a taste of what our testers are saying about this soup. Sort of makes you want some, doesn't it?

Words escape us as to just how incomparable this made-from-scratch grape jam is compared to store-bought. That smile certainly says it all.

Comfort finds us in unexpected ways. Thank goodness for that. And thank goodness for this not-too-sweet, subtly apple-y, kid-friendly quick bread.
