New York–Style Cheesecake
How do you define a true New York-style cheesecake? A sweetly crunchy graham cracker crust cushioning a rich, creamy, moan-inducing filling with a slightly lemony lilt. In other words, this recipe.
Best Negroni
We upended the proportions of gin, vermouth, and Campari to create a better, stiffer, spiffier negroni cocktail.
Panzanella from Ina Garten
Stale bread? Itsoaks up a tangy vinaigrette in this interpretation of an Italian classic from the Barefoot Contessa herself. You're welcome.
Creamy Onion Tart
This tart wooed and wowed us with its sophistication, simplicity, and sturdiness. And unlike that other round eggy thing in a crust, this certainly won't call into question anyone's manhood.
Grilled Skirt Steak Tacos
Slightly spicy with a hint of sweet. Not to mention oh so satisfying. And did we mention fast and easy?
Plank-Roasted Salmon with Rosemary-Mustard Vinaigrette
Plank-roasted salmon sounds difficult, but nothing's easier. Salmon fillets and rosemary sprigs are placed on a cedar plank, brushed with oil, and roasted.
Spinach and Arugula Risotto

Lobster Salad
A tumult of sensations, this cool, creamy, simple salad juxtaposes tastes and textures to fancy schmancy effect.
Mixed Green Salad With Prosciutto and Cherries
Just whisk, chop, toss, and behold! A simple, stunning, sumptuous, summery weeknight winner of a repast.
Madeleines
Buttery, cake-y, crisp at the edges, and with a slight lilt of lemon, this cookie launched a thousand memories—and a literary masterpiece—for Marcel Proust.
