Sweet, spicy, and just a little sassy. That’s what we think of this sensational synthesis of everyday ingredients. Slather it at will.

We swear that this whole grain risotto doesn’t taste nearly as healthful as it actually is. But don’t take our word for it….

You could call this sausages with mashed potatoes. But we sorta feel obliged to say bangers and mash. Faux British accent optional.

Think you don’t need a recipe for roasting spuds? Try this technique, which we think works to a faretheewel. Then get back to us.

We have precious few absolutes, yet we always, always keep things simple with sea scallops. Why shroud that supple sweetness?

A sesame-seeded bun, a beguilingly spiced burger, and chunky potato wedges with mayo for dipping and dousing. Napkins, please.
