White Bean Soup with Rosemary and Parmesan
A sturdy soup that is a meal in itself, this is a popular dish in northern Italy, especially Tuscany, where the locals are nick-named mangiafagioli, or “bean eaters.” Feel free to substitute other dried beans such as chick-peas (garbanzo beans), white kidney beans or cannellini beans.

Mexican Rice
Our perfect Mexican rice recipe had to be rich but not oily and moist but not watery; furthermore, it had to boast clean, balanced flavors and tender, perfectly cooked rice.

This super-savory dish draws its inspiration from Taiwanese beef noodle soup, then gilds the lily with a Dutch oven’s worth of sweet, slow-simmered onions—the best part of French onion soup, if you ask this recipe’s developer, Amiel Stanek.

This deliciously rich chicken braise is an adaptation of Mariana Velásquez’s pollo guisado en coco y ají criollo from her book “Colombiana.” She explains that the dish is not a traditional Colombian guisado (stew), but the flavors are very much in keeping with the spirit and essence of the cuisine. Cubanelle peppers, sometimes sold as […]
