Recipe notes

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.

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.

Spicy Eggplant Frittata

Silky Japanese eggplant and fiery serrano chile unite in this no-fuss frittata that’s brunch-ready, dinner-worthy, and wildly good.

Coconut Tempeh Larb

This riff on the Laotian classic comes together in 20 minutes.

Steak With Cherry Tomato Chutney

A steak dinner that’s more about the sauce than the meat.

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.

Bouillon-Baked Tofu

Aided by jarred bouillon paste and some spices, the flavor of this baked tofu is intriguingly complex, and good enough to eat on its own.

Balsamic Butterscotch Sauce

Tangy-sweet and a cinch to make, balsamic butterscotch sauce is perfect for pouring over ice cream, grilled or roasted fruit, or your favorite cake.
