Cindi Kruth

"Delicate." "Flaky." "Perfect." "I could not stop eating it!" That's what folks are saying about this hors d'oeuvre that's a cinch to make—and devour.

Simple. Surprising. Spunky. Just what we look for in a summer salad. Just what we found in this jumble of cucumbers, vinegar, and ginger.

Our most requested recipe, this ridiculously rich dish takes its heat from andouille, its creamy comfort from grits smothered in cheese.

Lamb shanks are left to slowly burble in a lovely red wine until the meat is literally falling-off-the-bone tender. Our favorite winter pastime.

And you thought you didn't have time for breakfast. We're changing that with this handy dandy technique.

Stylish on any salad, this versatile little number is a staple in every discerning cook's recipe wardrobe.

Know that elusive balance of ridiculously crisp skin yet tender meat and a dipping sauce that's sorta sweet but with some heat? Most wings fail miserably to achieve that. These nail it.

Entertaining gets no simpler than this rich, creamy, indulgent, elegant cheese spread made from three ingredients. Tasting is believing. Go on.

A Mexican staple, this sauce of sorts is essentially fresh salsa that's named, curiously, for a rooster's beak.

Some things are so simple as to seem almost plain—until you taste them. Hollandaise is one such perfectly simple staple.

Words sort of elude us when we attempt to describe just how stunning and scrumptious we consider this dish. Just...wow.

These shatteringly crisp, undeniably sophisticated potato ruffles—chips, if you will—have no ridges. Nor do they need them. They're intoxicatingly lovely just as they are.

Flaunting an always-stunning, goes-with-anything white, this coconut cake glams up dinner parties, bridal showers, weddings, birthdays, and Tuesday nights.

These one-bite indulgences, mini-sticky rolls of sorts, are the fastest way we can think to get a caramel-y, buttery, nutty sticky bun fix. Are you in?
