Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

The easiest crockpot recipe of your life! It’s a one-pot wonder – no searing, no fuss. Simply throw everything right in! Then you can let it cook low and slow as the chicken gets so unbelievably tender – so tender, you can even shred this by giving the chili a good stir in the crockpot. […]

Hot and Spicy Coconut Prawns

  I’m warning you – this is a hot one! But, of course, you can reduce the quantity of chillies to suit your taste. The fresh prawns and big pieces of coconut are a match made in heaven. Curry leaves and fennel seeds also help give this dish a unique flavour. Perhaps best of all, […]

Triple Berry Crisp

  The easiest Triple Berry Crisp made with frozen berries for a juicy berry filling nestled under a crispy oat topping. I use these big beautiful frozen berries from Costco’s 3-berry pack in the frozen section. They are much cheaper than fresh berries and every bit as delicious. It also makes this recipe extra easy. […]

Spiced Chickpea Stew With Coconut and Turmeric

  Spiced chickpeas are crisped in olive oil, then simmered in garlicky coconut milk for an insanely creamy, basically-good-for-you stew that evokes stews found in South India and parts of the Caribbean. While the chickpeas alone would be good as a side dish, they are further simmered with stock, bolstered with dark, leafy greens of […]

30-Minute Pressure Cooker Phở Ga (Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup)

  Pho bo—Vietnamese beef noodle soup—may be more popular in the states, but its cousin pho ga, made with chicken, is easier to make, and in my book, just as tasty. What if I told you that you could make a superb bowl of Vietnamese chicken noodle soup with rich, aromatic broth and fall-off-the-bone tender […]

Giant No-Flip Blueberry Pancake

  While we love the concept of making pancakes for a crowd, we don’t love the reality of standing over the stove, dishing out pancakes to guests like a short-order cook (and we definitely don’t love relegating the early batches of pancakes to the oven, where their texture will surely suffer). And so this crowd-feeding […]

Grilled Trout with Savory Marinade

Trout and summer savory form an ideal marriage. Both are mild-mannered, so they blend beautifully, neither upstaging the other. Serve the dish with equally mellow vegetables, such as buttered green beans and grilled or roasted potatoes.

Spicy-Sweet Sambal Pork Noodles

  These weeknight noodles are inspired by the silky richness of meaty tomato sauce and the fiery, tangy-sweet flavors of pad kee mao (a.k.a. drunken noodles). It’s full-on explosive flavor in under an hour.

Pasta alla Gricia

  Guanciale, black pepper, Pecorino Romano, and pasta come together in a study of delicious minimalism.When it comes to the four main pasta dishes of Roman cuisine (carbonara, amatriciana, gricia, and cacio e pepe), pasta alla gricia is criminally overlooked and underappreciated. It's time to put an end to all that. It's time to celebrate […]

Cast Iron Baked Chicken

In the pursuit of roast chicken with juicy meat and lovely browned skin that we could make on a weeknight, we turned to the cast-iron skillet, which retains heat well and, once hot, distributes that heat evenly across the skillet’s surface. To avoid having to cut up a whole chicken and to reduce the cooking […]

Better-than-Takeout Stir-Fried Udon

Pad see ew. Lo mein. Stir-fried udon. Jap chae. Pad Thai. Pan-fried soba. If there’s one thing I know for certain, it’s that I order too much takeout. There’s some blending of flavor that happens in the pan that I just don’t understand. Or that I didn’t understand. I thought noodles so flavorful couldn’t come […]

Pasta with Mushrooms and Prosciutto

  Getting the consistency of the creamy mushroom sauce right is key for this pasta recipe. You want to reduce it just until it clings to the pasta to create a light coating; be careful not to reduce it too much.

Pasta All’Amatriciana

  To create an authentic-tasting version of Pasta All’Amatriciana we needed an alternative to hard-to-find guanciale, or cured pork jowl. Humble salt pork, though an unlikely solution, provided the rich, clean meatiness we were after. To ensure tender bites of pork throughout, we first simmered it in water to gently cook it and render fat, […]
