Twice-Baked Potatoes

Double-baking means double the fun—and the indulgence. This hybrid of baked and mashed potatoes is comfort food par excellence.

Almond-Crusted Trout with White Grits and Swiss Chard

The search for crispy trout skin stops here. Dredging the fish in ground almonds works wonders, adding a delightfully toasty exterior.

Raspberry-Ricotta Cake

Grab fresh spring berries the minute you see them at the market and fold them into this simple, tender cake you'll want to bake all season long.

Cast-Iron Skillet Pork Chops

Though it may seem like a counterintuitive practice, extra flipping is the secret to the golden-brown crust on these pork chops.

Almond-Crusted Trout with White Grits and Swiss Chard

The search for crispy trout skin stops here. Dredging the fish in ground almonds works wonders, adding a delightfully toasty exterior.

Citrus-and-Chile-Braised Short Ribs

If you have any trouble getting short ribs with long bones, go ahead and use smaller pieces.

Tapioca Pearl Pudding

This textured pudding was inspired by ice cream and gets its concentrated dairy flavor from milk powder, which adds richness without fat.

Caramelized-Honey Brûlée

If you don't have a kitchen torch, time to treat yourself. They're inexpensive and super fun to use—and you can't make this dessert without one.

Lemon-Hibiscus Frozen Custard

If you close your eyes, you’ll swear this frozen custard recipe tastes exactly like pink lemonade.

Smoked Salmon Breakfast Salad with Crispbread

Everything good about a lox and bagel sandwich (minus the bagel).

Chile-Oil Fried Egg With Avocado

Turn breakfast into dinner by piling crisp-edged eggs, feta, sprouts, and avocado on top of toasted flatbread.

Roasted Citrus and Avocado Salad

Baking citrus at a high heat caramelizes the sugars and adds depth. It's just the thing to bring intrigue to salads and more.

Hazelnut Butter and Coffee Meringues

For a high-contrast swirl, go easy when folding in the nut butter. A stroke or two with the spatula is enough.

Oat and Pistachio Sandies

For a delicate—not brittle—crunch, don't overbake. It's okay if the center of the cookie is still pale.

Cinnamon-Date Buns

Yes, the dough is buttery, but replacing the brown sugar with pureed dates is a nutritional game-changer.

Weeknight Porchetta

Sometimes it's okay to cut corners: Here we make the classic Italian dish with bacon and skip the multiday air-drying process. It's not traditional, but it sure is delicious

Lentils with Cucumbers, Chard, and Poached Egg

Start your weekend mornings right with this healthier, more delicious breakfast bowl.

Chickpea Pancakes with Leeks, Squash, and Yogurt

Weekday pancakes sound like a stretch? Make the batter Sunday evening and start the week strong.

Chocolate-Rye Crumb Cake

Because it contains more essential oils, whole grain rye flour can spoil quickly. Store the unused portion in the fridge or freezer.
