These uncannily crisp, seemingly shortbreadish cookies from San Francisco's Miette are--and we mean this--unlike any you've ever encountered.

Fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon lend this chicken its effusive Greek accent. A foolproof grilling technique makes it irresistible in any language.

Sweet and simple. Nothing but cabbage, cider vinegar, sugar, mayo, a little onion, salt, and oil. Just like you'd find at a BBQ shack.

Irresistible. That's what we think of this array of deviled eggs, which come in classic, smoked salmon, and lightly truffled. Better than mom's.

This Southern creation is a simple affair. Just eggs, butter, sugar, and, of course, lemon, it's a pleasantly homey dessert, perfect for any afternoon or occasion.

It may seem criminal to bathe the walloping nutrition of lentils and mushrooms in anything but wholesomeness, but there's something to be said for quality of life. Hello, bacon!

These Spanish-inflected, heart-achingly outstanding chicken wings are our latest lazy weeknight crush.

This no-fuss recipe doesn't ambush you with any trickery. It just delivers you a supple, perfectly cooked roast beef tenderloin napped with a slightly boozy but goof-proof sauce.

This evocatively named dip isn't the same as the one of yore. It's got the same sumptuous taste, the same creamy texture, the same luminous color, just not the same calorie count.

Lemon, ricotta cheese, peas, and pappardelle pasta. The name sorta says it all. But we'll add that it can be made in no time.

A simple seared fish fillet with a tart citrus lilt, this recipe comes together with ease even on the craziest of weeknights.

First you make an Oreo cookie crust. Then you smother it with a bittersweet and semisweet chocolate custard. The final flourish is whipped cream infused with vanilla. Sigh.
