So long, noodles that are buried beneath heavy cream sauces. This shrimp and leek pasta is made with a barely-there broth enhanced by the sweetness of leeks.

Dare we say this is better than your mom's rhubarb pie? We dare. This lovely rendition flaunts a lovely custard filling with sweet-tart rhubarb atop an impossibly buttery and flaky crust.

This tangy vinegar-based barbecue sauce, typical of eastern Carolina-style 'cue, is exactly what you want—nay, need—for anything you pull from your smoker or grill.

"The most tender, buttery steak we’ve ever had." "Utterly and perfectly indulgent!" "Amazing." Just some of the accolades folks are heaping on this elegant grilled tenderloin.

A simple Southern classic from Alexander Smalls, this has all the potato salad ingredients as well as relish to give it that elusive balance of tangy and ever so slightly sweet.

Not your typical fried chicken, this one boasts a gratifyingly crisp crust with insanely tender meat and takes a definite boost from a peppery white bbq sauce.

Got gochujang? If not, you need to make this simple cheater's version that's a quick stand-in for when you don't have time to make the authentic Korean chile paste with a sweet heat and some serious umami.

This cake, a nod not just to Queen Victoria but British sensibility, defines the very notion of simple yet sophisticated.

"Could not have been easier.” “Perfect." "A one-pot wonder!" That's what folks are saying about these super simple brownies that toe the line between cakey and fudgy.

Think granola bars but in soft, crumbly cookie form. That's what you get with these sorta virtuous, sorta naughty little lovelies.

Perfectly battered. Nicely seasoned. And easy as heck. That's how we like our fried chicken wings, thank you very much. This recipe delivers all that.

If you’ve been hesitant to make chocolate souffle out of fear, worry not. This easy version is guaranteed to reach lofty heights. A no-stress, high-stakes dessert. We show you how.

Astoundingly tender and judiciously spicy, these oven barbecued ribs gain a rich, deep smokiness from a simple turn in a hot oven, no fancy outdoor equipment required.

A creamy, milky, not egregiously sweet, altogether lovely argument for sticking with a classic—in this case, a Spanish classic.
