Nach Waxman’s Brisket1/35
Like a chorus line of Rockettes, these slices of brisket lean on one another in perfect symmetry here. Nach Waxman explains how to accomplish the same.
Cedar Plank–Grilled Salmon2/35
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.
Striped Juice Pops3/35
Magnificently sweet, outrageously vibrant, unconscionably healthful, and altogether lovely. That's what we think of these juice pops. Dare you to guess the ingredients.
Raspberry Jam4/35
You can't prolong summer. But you can prolong raspberry season with some lipstick-red berries, a little sugar, and this unerringly precise recipe.
Easy Rhubarb Jam5/35
Pink preserves were never so pretty—or so easy—as this foolproof recipe that relies on just four ingredients and an occasional stir. No prior canning experience required.
Rhubarb Crisp6/35
An obscenely easy, sweetly tart rhubarb crisp that you simply must experience at least once. Although we doubt you'll be able to stop at just once.
Burrata with Asparagus7/35
A ridiculously rich, unthinkably creamy kin to mozzarella, burrata brings understated bling to every little thing. Prepare to swoon.
Pickled Shallots8/35
These pretty pink refrigerator pickles are almost instant in terms of gratification, undeniably complex in terms of satisfaction.
Grilled Pork Loin9/35
No more standing idly by as the pork chops you tossed on the grill toughen into leathery dryness. Nope. Not with this clever trick that cooks a whole pork loin and then slices it into chops after it's pulled off the heat.
Grilled Lamb Chops10/35
After grilling up these lovely little lamb lollies, we finally understand why so many folks use "lamb chop" as a term of endearment.
Salmon Banh Mi11/35
Why make banh mi at home? Uh, why not? Besides, you'll never find this swanky salmon rendition anywhere else.
Raspberry Crumble Tart12/35
Warning: This tart is best when consumed within a few hours of emerging from the oven. We don't see this as being a problem.
Cosmopolitan13/35
If ever a drink symbolized an era, the bright pink, citric Cosmopolitan screams the 1990s. Ah, the good old days.
Croque Frisée14/35
You may be stunned at just how easy this sorta elegance can be to pull off in your own kitchen.
Vanilla Cupcakes15/35
These simple yet superlative little cakes are quite mind-blowing in their poundcake-like loveliness. Go on. See for yourself.
Butter with Colored Sprinkles16/35
Some days are, without a doubt, cloudy with a chance of sprinkles. Just perhaps not the sorta sprinkles you were expecting.
Homemade Pastrami17/35
Pastrami. We consider it the other corned beef. We also consider it darn easy to make it yourself.
Seared Duck Breast18/35
An elegant and easy riff on steak au poivre, made not with beef but duck breast cooked to a rosy medium-rare.
Sugared Cranberries19/35
Cranberries and sugar. Two things you probably have in abundance at the moment. May as well put them to extra sparkly use.
Windowpane Cookies20/35
Wowsers! (We can't really think of anything else to say about these stunning cookies, except they're far easier to make than you'd expect.)
Cracklins21/35
Yup. You can make your own chunks of porcine indulgence with nothing more than thickly sliced bacon and a sturdy skillet.
Seared Tuna with Sweet and Sour Sauce22/35
This is not the insipid, gloppy, cloying sauce you had on last night's Chinese takeout. This is, quite simply, sweet and sour and lovely.
Pastrami, Caramelized Onion, and Gruyère Sandwich23/35
Not every stack of meat slapped between some slices of bread qualifies as a proper supper. This one does.
Mulled Wine Sorbet24/35
Winter's answer to sangria. Zinfandel, Cabernet, Beaujolais, or Bordeaux, it matters not.
Bangers and Mash25/35
You could call this sausages with mashed potatoes. But we sorta feel obliged to say bangers and mash. Faux British accent optional.
Wine-Soaked Autumn Pudding26/35
An autumnal take on classic summer pudding that melds booze and berries and apples and plums to really quite lovely effect.
Cherry Liqueur | Guignolet27/35
The only real trick to this stiff summery sensation is resisting the temptation to snitch a swig before it's time.
Fruity Beer Sorbet28/35
What's that? Fruity beers are for the girls? Hmmm. Does the same go for fruity beer sorbets?
Hibiscus Beet Sorbet29/35
Behind that tempting shade of red lurks an oh-so-swell-for-you ingredient whose virtues are masked by hibiscus' floral lilt.
Toaster Tarts30/35
Though we love Pop-Tarts dearly, even as kids we thought the packaged pastries ought to taste better. Fruiter. Flakier. Fresher. Like these.
Watermelon Sorbet31/35
No ice cream maker required. Just watermelon, citrus, sweetness, mint, and a whole lotta cold. Vodka optional. Then just scoop it up and plop it in a pretty bowl.
Steak Chimichurri32/35
Chimichurri-induced happiness can be yours with this foolproof, fuss-free, Argentine-approved answer to what's for dinner.
Mini-Muffin Financiers33/35
Don't let these delicate, diminutive cakes with the froufrou French name fool you. They're a cinch to toss in the oven--and even easier to toss in the mouth.
