Valentine’s Day

Just like Tollhouse cookies but with the amp turned up. Way up. Think of them as a more mature version of a classic. (Finally, something you don't have to share with the kids!)

Duck confit is perhaps the best thing that could ever happen to duck legs in any possible universe. Here's how to make it and what to serve with it.

Everyone's all talking about politics and we're just over here helping ourselves to more of this updated version of the classic that's creamy and boozy and subtly sweet in a perfect sorta way.

Say "paleo cake" and most folks think of dense, crumbly, disappointing approximations of cake. Not this lovely incarnation with its lofty stature. Includes a chocolate variation.

Admit it. You've long admired those gorgeous chocolate curl garnishes atop cakes and wondered how to make them at home. It couldn't be easier. Here's how.

So magnificently and outrageously incredible that folks have literally applauded it at the dinner table. Swear. Easy enough for weeknights. Elegant enough for impressing guests.

Peppery greens, creamy blue cheese, and crisp pear are jumbled together with a sweetly nutty vinaigrette that’s so delicious you may just catch folks licking the plate.

Exactly what your cakes and cupcakes and heck, even loved ones' breakfast cereal have been missing all these years. Simply because you can.

No-bake cake doesn't get any easier than this funfetti fudge that's complete with a semisweet chocolate "cake" layer, a white chocolate "frosting" layer, and sprinkles galore.

These are, quite frankly, as fudgy and rich as the real deal. Despite being flourless. Swear. Make a batch and see if anyone can tell the difference.

Let's dispense with all the talk about Proust and time and just revel in these lemony little lovelies, shall we?

Whether you need a no-fail romantic or celebratory dinner for two, here's how to pull it off with ease and impressiveness.

An impressive (and blissfully last-minute!) nosh with an incredibly satisfying salty sweet thing happening. And spectacularly simple to make. Decorate as much or as little as you like.

Quick and easy to toss together with all the flair of a French woman slinging a scarf and instantly seeming elegant with ease. Which is exactly how we like our salads.

Tender and delicate and buttery and spectacularly simple, just as classic shortbread cookies ought to be.

"Easiest chocolate fudge recipe ever." That's what folks are saying about this simple and spectacular recipe—and they're right.

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. Witness this macaroni and cheese with fontina, Gorgonzola, pecorino, and Parmesan.

"Everything I love about brownies. The fudgy center. The crisp edges. And that wondrous crinkly top." That's what folks are saying about these.

Because fudge brownies just aren't indulgent enough, we added an outrageously lovely swirl of caramel sauce. You're welcome.

"The easiest panna cotta I have made." "Absolutely delicious." "Very dangerous." That's what folks are saying about this dessert.
