One of our most requested recipes. Easy, elegant, and pretty much foolproof. Sorta impressive for something that you toss together in less than 15 minutes, wouldn't you agree?

Mint. Muddled. Mine. When we've got this gin-based mojito on our minds, those are about the only words we can muster. Well, maybe add "More."

We can certainly understand why street food catapulted into trendiness. Assuming, that is, it all tastes as soulful as these skewers that are hawked on seemingly every street in Thailand.

Saucier and sassier and healthier than most, this Cincinnati chili is still plopped atop a pile of spaghetti and smothered with all sorts of goodness.

Not too sweet and not too dense, this honeyed pistachio pound cake is just right—and just large enough to share.

Scandalously simple. Ethereally airy. Magical. That's but a sampling of what folks are saying about these two-ingredient, Southern-style cream biscuits.

"Transcendent" is how the author describes these rugelach. We'd like to add "flaky," "tender," and "perfect" to the list of apt adjectives.

What's easy peasy to make, lovely to look at, even lovelier to taste, and certain to impress? This cake.

Stop your scoffing. This may not be conventional chili, but it's no sissy imposter. It's just a little subtler, soupier, and smokier.

Yup. We went there. To that homemade Cheez-It place. Go ahead. Admit it. You're awfully glad that we did.

A little sugar, a splash of bitters, and a lotta booze—your grandma's go-to drink. (Oh wait, was that just our family?!)

A ginormous riff on the iconic American snack cake, this Twinkie look-alike boasts a beauteous appearance, an amped-up vanilla smack, and ingredients you can actually pronounce.

Beautiful burger buns. Were ever three words joined in such harmony? There are a lot more lovely things to be said about these pillowy specimens of bread awesomeness.

This irresistible scoop of the milkiest chocolate ice cream is like having a bar of fine Swiss chocolate on a spoon.

Bourbon. Curaçao. Sweet vermouth. Lime. We're sad we didn't concoct this comforting little ditty. But we're glad somebody did.

Simple and, yes, a little sneaky, this kid-friendly, fuss-free, casserole-like mac and cheese melds Cheddar and carrot to healthful effect.

These beauties aren't unlike classic sugar cookies in terms of ease and appeal. They're just a little richer and a lot less expected.

Imagine, if you can, a technique that imbues salmon with a touch of smoke and ensures your pricey catch doesn't stick to the grate. You're welcome.
