A list of all the recipes Christina Roman has tested.
Nutella Truffles
Orbs of Nutella, chocolate, and cream, all dusted in cocoa powder. Need we say more?
Jerk-Style Lentils
If you’re familiar with Caribbean food, you know how good jerk seasoning is. It adds a deeply spiced flavor to everything it touches and makes these lentils extraordinary.
Sugar Snap Peas with Fennel and Pine Nuts
A quick and fresh way to serve sugar snap peas from America’s Test Kitchen. Fennel, pine nuts, and lemon are an easy upgrade.
Fennel and Onion Agrodolce Salad
A sweet and savory salad, made with fennel, onion, raisins, and pine nuts. Sounds pretty extraordinary, right? It’s a Mediterranean favorite.
Silken Tofu with Pine Nuts and Pickled Chiles
“To call this silken tofu ‘magical’ would be an understatement.” and “Umami party for sure in your mouth!” and “My boyfriend, who dislikes tofu, ate most of it.” That’s what we’re hearing about this stunner.
Stovetop Fruit Pie Filling
Our go-to approach for slightly-less-than-stellar fruit when we want exponentially-better-than-average results.
Chocolate Chip Brownies
Slightly sweet, fudgy, and full of bittersweet chocolatey goodness. Certain to satisfy both the kid and the grown-up in your house—and in you.
Asparagus with Raspberry-Shallot Vinaigrette
It’s nice to still be surprised. Which is exactly what happened to us when we tasted this inspired melding of earthy asparagus, sweetly tart raspberry vinegar, and sharp shallot.
Whole Roasted Cauliflower
So novel to serve (and so delicious to eat) that you, as well as any finicky eaters at your table, might just forget any prior bland experiences you may have had with cauliflower.
Brown Butter Flattened Chicken
Looks and tastes like a restaurant-quality meal that requires a staff of sous chefs and dish washers. Yet in reality it comes together in a single skillet in just 30 minutes.
