A list of all the recipes Julie Dreyfoos has tested.
Momofuku’s Fried Chicken
This flour-free fried bird is contrary to everything we know about fried chicken. Or think we know. That’s exactly what makes it so darn genius.
Spaghetti with Raw Tomatoes
Summer at its simplest, not to mention its most splendid. Five minutes of effort yield a meal that rivals round-trip tickets to Italy.
Carrot-Zucchini Bread with Candied Ginger
Flecks of brilliant orange and green bejewel this not-so-common quick bread, but what adds a royal je ne sais quoi are the robust bursts of candied ginger.
Apricot Blackberry Cobbler
Given this cobbler’s delicately sweet filling and crumbly, flaky topping, our search for the perfect cobbler ends here—and, we dare say, so will yours.
Vinegar Pie Crust
This pie pastry is as easy to make as, well, pie. It’s flaky and rich but simple and plain enough to let any filling shine.
Crème Fraîche Potato Salad
A British take on potato salad that’s both simple and sublime, this summery staple draws on the tart richness of crème fraîche and the pucker of lemon.
Roasted Rack of Lamb with Parsley, Dijon, and Chives
Lamb racks have the perfect ratio of meat to fat to bone, giving them a delicious flavor. They’re an easy. hassle-free way to make a meal special.
Grilled Pork Loin
No more helplessly watching as the chops you toss on the grill toughen into leathery dryness. This flawless technique cooks the pork loin whole and slices it AFTER grilling.
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Sometimes it’s nice to just let your spoon sink into something that tastes pure as the driven snow. Indulgently rich, sigh-inducingly creamy, vanilla-enhanced snow.
