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.

A gooey, sweet, classic bread made from pull-apart blobs of brioche dough coated in a buttery, cinnamony caramel sauce that's gonna distract you in the best possible way.

A ginormous, warm, gooey, chocolatey cookie baked in a single skillet so there's no waiting for batch after batch to come out of the oven.

There's a lot to be said for a diner-style dish like this one, though we prefer it made at home, minus the wobbly seats, the sticky laminated menu, and sometimes surly service.

Permeated with an enticing and sorta (but not intimidatingly) exotic blend of spices, these chicken thighs and tender roasted onions and couldn't be easier.

Juicy and umami-rich, we might even dare say these super savory mushrooms are meaty in texture. They made a terrific side or even sub in for a burger patty.

A dreamy, creamy, pretty-in-pink dessert that casts everyone's favorite berry in a starring role.

Rabe. Raab. Rapini. Call it what you will, but it's never better than when jumbled with sautéed garlic and crisped potatoes.

Mushroom miso soup. Quick. Easy. Healthy. Vegan. And yes, it tastes spectacular.

No-knead Italian bread that's rustic, crusty, and easy as heck. The hardest part is the waiting, so plan accordingly. But believe us when we tell you that it's absolutely worth it.

Easy and slow cooker friendly. Do we really need to say anything else?

So lovely you're not even going to notice that they're vegetarian. But your guests will appreciate that fact. And you'll appreciate the taste.

An easy and surprisingly light riff on traditional risotto that manages to maintain all the rich, indulgent, creamy goodness of the Italian classic.

This plum sorbet is going to change your late-summer fruit strategy. And you don't even need an ice cream maker. Now that's easy and elegant.

Three minutes. That's how long it takes to bake this upside down cake that makes just enough dessert to satisfy your craving. No more.
