Cheddar Beer Bread Rolls
These cheesy rolls pack a lot of flavor considering their short ingredient list. Thanks to the beer, they’re also especially light and fluffy, taking any meal to the next level. But they’re also perfect all on their own, slathered with butter.
Goan Coconut Milk Pilaf
Goa is situated on the western coast of India and has a warm climate perfect for growing coconuts. It’s no surprise, then, that Goan cuisine uses coconuts generously in dishes. The Goan spice combinations, influenced by Portuguese inhabitants, are also quite different from other parts of India, and that is what marks Goan cuisine.
Moist Banana Nut Bread
Using oil in this recipe helps make a delicious, very moist banana loaf. Whipped cream adds moisture, a wonderful flavor, and an incredibly soft texture.
Old-Fashioned Butterscotch Pudding
The Best Butterscotch Pudding Is Homemade. This unfussy, old-fashioned recipe is easy to stir together on top of the stove, and hard to mess up. The flavor of butterscotch pudding comes from dark brown sugar that’s been caramelized in butter and rounded out with vanilla. I also like to spike the mixture with a little […]
Easy Sweet Italian Sausage Patties
For an easy, all-purpose Italian sausage that’s perfect in pasta sauce or on top of a pizza and that’s full of pungency, spice, and personality, we started with coarsely ground pork. Using a stand mixer to combine the pork and seasonings (salt; toasted, crushed fennel seeds; sugar; black and red peppers; and garlic) helped extract […]
Passatelli in Brodo
In Bologna, Italy, we tasted delicious home-cooked passatelli in brodo. Made with stale bread, cheese, eggs, broth, and little else, the dish exemplifies cucina povera, or peasant cooking. Passatelli are cylindrical dumplings—like fat, short spaghetti—made by extruding dough through smallish holes; the dumplings are simply poached and served in chicken broth. We highly recommend using […]

Mokonuts, a tiny neighborhood café in Paris’ 11th arrondissement, is best known for the chewy, creative cookies baked by Moko Hirayama, who draws on flavors like sesame and miso.But the savory small plates created by her husband, Omar Koreitem—who blends Middle Eastern, French and American influences—deserve as much attention. In particular, his smashed and […]

Pizza Bianca
The Roman version of pizza has a crisp but extraordinarily chewy crust, and it’s so good on its own that it’s usually topped with just olive oil, rosemary, and kosher salt. The challenge of devising a pizza bianca recipe for the home cook was to figure out how to handle the super-hydrated dough. Forming […]
Oaxacan Refried Black Beans
In Oaxaca, black beans are a part of almost every meal. Though they often are served whole, we especially liked the balanced, complex flavor and smooth, velvety consistency of refried black beans. Lard gives these beans a rich meatiness, but coconut oil is a good vegetarian substitute. The beans can be stored in an airtight […]
Garlic, Ginger, and Five-Spice Roasted Chicken
A fragrant seasoning paste infuses chicken parts with deep savoriness, while a high-temperature roast results in flavorful browning. Deep slashes cut into the chicken ensure that the paste seasons the meat throughout and helps speed the cooking. To round out the meal, serve with steamed or stir-fried vegetables and rice.
