Breakfast Nachos
These breakfast nachos will absolutely change your attitude about mornings. Cheesy eggs as you’ve never, ever quite experienced them.
Roast Chicken with Onion Gravy
Roast chicken is pretty much perfect on its own but when it’s smothered in Julia Turshen’s onion gravy, we just can’t say no. You won’t be able to, either.
Red Wine Onions
Meet your newest weeknight staple for when you want something a little special and impressive. Slightly sweet, deeply flavored, caramelized red onions doused with red wine.
Cold and Flu Elixir
Made with honey, ginger, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and cayenne, this sweet sipper is incomparably better than those blechy-tasting, over-priced, brand-name cold medicines.
Roast Turkey Breast
When you have more white meat lovers at Thanksgiving than you have white meat, this recipe is your answer. Guaranteed to be succulent, memorable, and done in 1 1/2 hours.
Parsley Garlic Butter
Parsley garlic butter. Easy to make. Always worth having on hand. And packed with flavor.
Roast Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Dates
An easier yet no less elegant riff on the classic chicken Marbella. Ideal for the Jewish high holidays yet ecumenical enough for Sunday suppers everywhere.

Sorta Italian, sorta Mediterranean, and completely easy and impressive. Works wonderfully on crazy weeknights as well as dinner parties.
