When summer flaunts her finest late-summer feast, there's very little that needs be done by way of embellishment. Just a little easy extravagance.

Mint. Muddled. Mine. When we've got this gin-based mojito on our minds, those are about the only words we can muster. Well, maybe add "More."

Hot, spicy chiles are the heart and heat of this piri-piri sauce, which is used on chicken, shrimp, pork—just about any dish in Portugal.

Chimichurri-induced happiness can be yours with this foolproof, fuss-free, Argentine-approved answer to what's for dinner.

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

Chewy, gooey, and chocolatey, these crackly topped brownies buried beneath slightly charred marshmallow are the ideal balance of cakey, fudgy, and nostalgia-inducing messiness.

Pantry ingredients and barely any effort yield you something that's sweetly tangy and spicy that you'll want to slather on ribs, wings, pulled pork, smoked or grilled chicken, burgers...

This is less a recipe and more a reminder as to the fact that some nights, simple cheese and bread and olive oil makes a perfectly respectable—enviable, even—supper.

Tender, juicy meat. Shatteringly crisp skin. And made from ingredients we bet you already have in the house. You're welcome.

Intrigued? You should be. A couple of the niftiest cooking tricks we know are at play in these ridiculously easy grilled vegetable skewers with chile-doused oozy melty cheese.

An easy, unexpected way to extend cherry season that's tartly sweet, subtly spiced, and surprisingly irresistible.

Embarrassingly easy. Enticingly aromatic. And unbelievably satisfying in terms of that beguiling umami-ness that defines mushrooms. Curious? You should be.

These curiously named, easy peasy, shamelessly simple meldings of biscuit and muffins may make you swear off roll-out biscuits for good.

We know what you’re thinking. Mkate what?! Yet once you try this unique and chewy, toasty, nutty, densely magnificent sesame flatbread from Zanzibar, you’ll be crooning about it to everyone who’ll listen.

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.

Happen to have a bottle of Kahlua collecting dust in the back of your liquor cabinet? Mix up one of these. (And, if you're bored, you could recreate scenes from The Big Lebowski...)

Riz au lait is another way of saying French rice pudding. So gosh darn easy and impossible to stop eating, it's quite possibly the thing we love most about the French.

"The best biscuits I've ever had!" is what we're hearing from many, many, many folks who when they first try these easy no-rolling-required biscuits. Amen to that.

Done in just 30 minutes, made with recognizable ingredients, and your kids will never know the difference. Who loves you?!

These spring spears, buried beneath a behemoth of Parmesan, is making converts of even the most reticent veggie eaters.
