Shredded beef and gooey cheese and a pretty mild sauce. Just 20 minutes in the oven, then compliments all around. Thanks, Homesick Texan.

Sweet but not too sweet, this simple summer dessert is essentially the French take on fruit crumble. Mon Dieu, we love the French.

Allow us to introduce you to borekitas. A staple in the eastern Mediterranean, these savory pastries put equal emphasis on pastry and cheese to what we consider divine effect.

Almost as good as cramming tacos from a street cart in your piehole late at night with pork juice dripping from your elbow.

Yep. We smoked, pickled, and fried these spuds. And we've no regrets. David divulges—and indulges—all in this blog post.

Eggs Florentine, Benedict, and Arnold. Sorta sounds more like a network of Revolutionary War spies than a brunch menu, yes?

These oatmeal cookies are like the baking version of those Choose Your Own Adventure books, which means your cookies end up exactly the way you like them.

"If I could make only one pie in my lifetime, this would be the one." That's what folks are saying about this conversation-stopping version of the campfire classic.

A sweet nuttiness, a dense crumb, a crunchy crust, and bags more flavor than normal bread. Whatcha waiting for?

No, this isn't quite the classic cooked-for-days cassoulet you'll find in Gascony. This is cassoulet casserole. You'll find no complaints here.

Four ingredients. Ridiculously easy. Wonderfully inexpensive. And, quite frankly, the best gnocchi we've ever experienced.

Some would say paleo power. We say cauliflower power. Witness the caped carb crusader as an uber creamy mash and a raw salad.

A better way to start your day. Uh, we mean, end your day. That's what we meant. Yes. End it. Ahem.

Wowsers! (We can't really think of anything else to say about these stunning cookies, except they're far easier to make than you'd expect.)

True to their name, these little lovelies practically snap when you take a nibble. We love truth in advertising.

Authentic barbecue joint flavor from your own backyard. No smoker required. Actually, no smoking experience required, either.

Proof that it doesn't take buttermilk or an insufferably long overnight brine to make insanely tender, crazily crisp, gosh darn perfect fried chicken.

Truly impressive and a heck of a lot less fussy than it looks. Tastes pretty darn phenomenal, too. Sign us up.

An unconventional approach to apple pie that happily involves booze and lotsa butter. Even more memorable than the classic.

What's easy peasy to make, lovely to look at, even lovelier to taste, and certain to impress? This cake.
