Sous vide cooking ensures that your pork chops will never be dry again. A little time is all it takes to make the kind of chops you’ve only ever dreamed about.

With dough at the ready, you can have a cheesy, spicy pizza in under half an hour. A true weeknight or late-night pick me up.

A custardy pie, filled with summer’s favorite berry (come on, you know it’s true), and baked into your choice of crust. Sweet, silky perfection.

Nachos are always a welcome dinner–or snack–but sometimes you want something even more special. A base of crisp potato nuggets are just the thing.

A vegan queso dip for anytime you feel like a little snack that’s better-for-you but still super tasty. Perfect for dipping, drizzling, and dousing.

Looking for an easier, yet still flaky and tender, pie crust? This little beauty is a little more forgiving and perfect for either sweet or savory tarts.

This dip is creamy for sure, but it’s really all about the dill. Loads of fresh, green, herby dill. As much as we love potato chips, try it on everything.

This meaty chili brings everyone to the table. The complex flavors are thanks to three different types of meat, a good helping of spices, and tequila. That’s right—it’s a party!

Richly flavored, not too spicy, and umami-packed, this curry won rave reviews from our testers. The sauce is perfectly suited to mopping up with piles of naan bread, too.

Easier to shape than a boule, focaccia is the next bread you may want to master making at home. Just slice it and eat it as-is with its dimpled herb-flecked surface.

These irresistible croquettes, made with ham and chicken, are a favorite in Spanish tapas bars. A great hors d’oeuvre, after-school snack, or nibble.

Marinated and grilled lamb skewers are subtly spiced and given a delicious char, making them the ultimate finger food. The intoxicating fragrance alone will make these a favorite.
