Nacho Cheese Sauce
Sure, you could just pop the top on a jar of store-bought nacho cheese sauce, but what’s the fun in that? Even more importantly, what control does that give you? Not much: You can’t choose what kinds of cheese go into the sauce, nor how spicy it is, and whether you add pickled jalapeños or […]
Black Pepper Beef and Celery Stir-Fry
Consider this recipe a love letter to the humble black peppercorn—one of those often-used but underappreciated spices. Chunks of beef are marinated in yogurt, ginger, garlic, and freshly ground pepper, then seared all over, building flavor for the stew from the ground up. Then they’re simmered until tender while the liquid cooks down to a […]

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (Pasta in Garlic and Oil Sauce)
If there were a pasta bible, the first line would read, "In the beginning, God created aglio e olio." Historically, that line wouldn't really be accurate, since the evidence doesn't support the idea that garlic (aglio) and oil (olio) were the original accompaniments to pasta. But structurally—and by that I mean the way most pasta […]
Butter Swim Biscuits
You guys, these biscuits are SO GOOD. They rise sky-high and are fluffy and light, but since they were basically bathed in butter, all the exterior surfaces are lightly crisped and a delicate, buttery flavor runs throughout every bite. They also happen to be easier to make than a simple drop biscuit. There’s no rolling […]

Chopped basil, grated Parmesan and fresh mozzarella are stirred in near […]
