This crazy satisfying, ridiculously cheap, pantry-minded dinner consists of just pasta, cheese, oil, salt, pepper, and a nifty technique.

This splurge of a chili recipe is made with ultra tender braised beef and is easy to make on the stovetop or in the slow cooker.

This stunner of a cocktail draws on pantry staples of bourbon, honey, and lemon for its sly and simple sophistication. Think of it as a swanky hot toddy on the rocks.

A classic split pea soup gussied up with smoky ham hocks for a substantial supper. Can be made gratifyingly thick or pleasingly thin.

Lots of fresh lemon juice and lemon zest are added to the ethereally light and super smooth dessert mousse to give it a zip of flavor.

Pancetta is simply unsmoked bacon—aka pork belly—cured with salt and seasonings. And now you can DIY it.

Fennel soup, or sopa de funcho in Portuguese, is a staple in Madeira and the Azores Islands. This recipe is full of fennel, pork, sausage, cabbage, and beans.
