Ina Garten's Lemon Chicken with Croutons2/20
If we had to choose just one roast chicken to spend the rest of our lives with, this would be the one.
Bite-Size Bacon and Cheese Scones3/20
Cute as a button, and not much bigger, these buttery, bacony scones are the most diminutive and darned good baked thing we've had in recent memory.
Burger Buns4/20
Beautiful burger buns. Were ever three words joined in such harmonious sequence? Actually, let's add buxom and buttery.
Goat Cheese with Olives, Lemon, and Thyme5/20
Words sort of escape us when we attempt to describe just how simple, stunning, and scrumptious we find this dish. Just...wow.
Onion Thyme Tart6/20
"Delicate." "Flaky." "Perfect." "I could not stop eating it!" That's what folks are saying about this hors d'oeuvre that's a cinch to make—and devour.
Pickled Jalapeno Peppers7/20
These Korean-style jalapenos that take a dunk in soy sauce and soda are perhaps not pickled in the traditional American sense, but pickled nonetheless. Wait'll you taste 'em.

Cantaloupe Soup with Prosciutto-Mozzarella Sandwiches15/20
The ingredients couldn't be more accessible. The results couldn't be less expected.
Carrot Soup with Chicken and Thyme16/20
The color of happiness, yes? But what's even more stunning about this soup than its vibrant hue and sweet taste is just how easily and inexpensively it comes together.
Homemade Nutella17/20
No longer are you safe from temptation just because you summoned enough fortitude to skip the Nutella aisle at the store. Not safe at all.
Black Coffee Ice Cream18/20
Know how every once in a while you taste something that's so insanely satiating that a single spoonful pretty much satisfies? Nah, neither do we. Pass the ice cream, please.
Neiman Marcus Cookies19/20
