Recipe notes

Chickpeas With 40 Garlic Cloves

Braising canned chickpeas in chicken stock and olive oil makes them unbelievably tender and buttery. This is worth the effort of peeling 40 cloves of garlic.

Greenest Mint and Ginger Pesto

An electrifying pesto that stays bright green for days on end. With the addition of ginger, and jalapeño, it’s a versatile condiment to have on hand.

Quinoa-Bean Salad With Lots of Dill

Stable enough to last days in the fridge (and hearty enough to sate a breastfeeding mom).

Now-and-Later Roast Chickens

An easy technique that results in juicy, tender roast chicken. Cooking two chickens at once is the secret to easy meals throughout the week.

Colossal Crème Brûlée

This oversized crème brûlée is far easier to make than individual ones. The crackly top is created from sugar caramelized with a blowtorch, not a broiler.
