As easy as the classic Toll House recipe but a lot more memorable, these beauties boast ample chocolate chunks, a subtle nuttiness from the tahini, crackly edges, and oh so soft centers.
Mango Gelato
Got a mere 20 minutes? If so, you’ve got all it takes to merge the vibrant sweetness of mango with all the indulgence of gelato.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Crisp at the edges, chewy in the center, and (sorta) wholesome through and through, these are a revelatory riff on the classic.
Kulich
This towering traditional Easter bread bedecked with icing and sprinkles is easily recognizable. A hint of cardamom and saffron along with a dreamily delicate texture are what leave a lasting impression.
Pan-Fried Green Beans
Simple yet spectacular green beans thanks to the perfect technique from Alain Ducasse.
Jim Lahey’s Pane Bianco
Crunchy on the outside and soul-sighingly soft inside, this simple no-knead sourdough recipe from Jim Lahey turns out a classic Italian loaf that would pass muster at any trattoria.
How to Make a Perfect Smoothie
It doesn’t take an engineering degree to make a decent smoothie. Although it does take a little know-how to make one that makes you want to drink your veggies. Here’s how.
Melon and Avocado Salad
A combination of taste and textures that seems unconventional yet tastes so intuitive you’ll wonder why you haven’t tried it before.
Spinach and Arugula Risotto
This risotto, straight from Rome, gets its flavor and color from spinach, arugula, and parsley. Its smoothness is a product of butter, cream, and cheese.
Spaghetti with Olives, Broccoli, and Feta
Eating healthy never tasted so satisfying as this jumble of salty, savory, and spicy that’s done in just 30 minutes. Rumor has it cold leftovers are just as magnificent as dinner the night before.
Butternut Squash Tacos
An ingenious melding of spicy and sweet, this melding of Mexican street corn with roasted butternut squash is ludicrously good.
Vegan Meringue
When it comes to creating a pristine white, lofty meringue, it turns out you can be vegan and eat your meringue, too.
Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken
All the rich, creamy, comforting goodness of the Indian classic with a couple tweaks to make it more accessible to American grocery stores. Plus the convenience of being made in the slow cooker.
Kale Shakshuka
This is definitely not your classic shakshuka. But with its lilt of lemon, its hearty braised greens, and it sprinkling of za’atar, it’s not something we’d kick out of bed.
Spiced Popcorn
Movie-watching must. Nostalgic nosh. Low-calorie something to satisfy. Sexy little something to knock back with cocktails as a pre-dinner party teaser. Popcorn has its moods. This recipe fits them all.
Classic Gruyère Gougères
Essentially fancy-sounding blobs of pastry with grated cheese, these chichi French lovelies impress everyone yet barely take any effort.
White Bean Shakshuka
An already soul-satisfying Middle Eastern classic made even more enticing thanks to the addition of white beans and charred vegetables.
Pickle Juice-Brined Pork Chops
Pickle juice-brined pork chops. Yes, you read that correctly. And yes, we know what you’re thinking. Why didn’t we think of brining pork chops in dill pickle juice? It’s easy, ingenious, and, natch, delicious.
Mimolette Salad with Walnuts
Greens, vinaigrette, walnuts and the namesake aged cheese are all you need for a fresh, simple, sophisticated salad.
Quinoa Chili
A vegetarian’s delight. Quinoa, black beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, onions, and garlic are cooked in a broth infused with chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and unsweetened cocoa.
