Recipe from America’s Test Kitchen which states, “For our ultimate flourless chocolate cake recipe, we wanted a texture somewhere between a substantial marquise au chocolat—that dense, buttery, and just slightly aerated chocolate mousse with a characteristic dry but creamy texture—and a heavy New York-style cheesecake, which requires the mouth to work for just a second before the stuff melts and dissolves with sublime flavor. To achieve this texture in our flourless chocolate cake recipe, we beat whole eggs into a foam and gently folded in bittersweet or semisweet chocolate and strong coffee or liqueur. Then we baked our cake in…

Rugelach is an Ashkenazi Jewish sweet with roots in Eastern Europe. The dough is usually spread with a filling of raisins or nuts and rolled into crescents. Because the dough is half the treat and is meant to be both tender and durable, I saw the potential for a gluten-free version to become…

See the RecipeKen states, “This is a smooth tomato sauce flavored with dried oregano, along with optional garlic and chile flakes. Use the best-quality dried oregano you can get; if you can find Calabrian oregano, all the better. Although including chile flakes isn’t traditional for Neapolitan pizza, I like the zip. If you can’t find San Marzano tomatoes, use the best-quality canned plum tomatoes available.” Makes enough sauce for five 12-inch round pizzas.

At first glance, the thought of combining cream with rice and calling it “pudding” might deter you from trying this recipe, but pleeeeease don’t let it. This creamy, soft, milky, sweetened rice flavored with cinnamon and orange zest gives me allllll the comfort feels (and is great to eat while you lounge all day on the couch work from home). Any rice works fine, but brown rice is best pre-cooked. If you don’t have enough milk, add more cream.…

See the RecipeRecipe from America’s Test Kitchen which states, “Do not trim the fat from the chicken thighs; it contributes to the flavor and texture of the pulled chicken. If you don’t have 3 tablespoons of fat to add back to the pot in step 3, add melted butter to make up the difference. We like mild molasses in this recipe; do not use blackstrap. Serve the pulled chicken on white bread or hamburger buns with pickles and coleslaw.”

What makes this dessert a winner is the textural contrast between the creamy sweet potato filling, the crisp pecan crust and the gooey marshmallow topping. Here are a few tips for best results: Roast the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them because it enhances their flavor, and use smaller sweet potatoes because they are naturally sweeter than larger…

See the RecipeNY Times recipe from Colu Henry who states, “This simple roast chicken combines the classic fall flavors of maple and rosemary with melted butter, which is basted over the bird as it cooks to keep it juicy. The butter browns slightly and helps caramelize the outside thanks to the sugars in the maple syrup. The result is a fragrant, sweet-and-salty chicken that makes the house smell great. There will be plenty of buttery pan juices left over, which you should most certainly pass around the table, but they would also be delicious spooned over rice pilaf.”

See the RecipeBon Appetit recipe from Lauren Schaefer who states, “Call us crazy, but we think these three-ingredient charred ribs are just as delicious (if not more so!) than the low-and-slow, fall-off-the-bone-tender kind. They develop a crispy crust as they cook for just 15 minutes on each side, and despite the ridiculously short ingredient list, they’re still plenty flavorful and juicy due to the high fat content in the ribs.”
-
See the RecipeNY Times recipe from Sam Sifton who states, “We think of ribs as an all-day affair, the meat cooked in smoke and low heat until it begins to pull from the bone. But baby backs are quicker and can be grilled as well, and the result is delicious. This recipe benefits from a basting technique used by the chef and barbecue madman Adam Perry Lang, who thins out his barbecue sauce with water, then paints it onto the meat he’s cooking in coat after coat, allowing it to reduce and intensify rather than seize up and burn.”

And that’s what you’re going to want to drag each bite of chicken through. And to think it’s only Tuesday.”

This version, adapted from a Ligurian woman, Lidia Caveri, gently encourages (but does not require) a return to the mortar. The constant rap of the pestle will jostle the nuts, basil and garlic into an emulsified base. Add the oil and cheese to get an impossibly thick, creamy sauce that clings to pasta unlike any machine-made counterpart could. Though you might think…

A tube of tomato paste here mimics the deep flavors of sun-dried tomato.

Here, it’s white beans, though you could add in kale, noodles, even roasted vegetables. Then, all that’s left to do is dot it with cheese and bake until…

Cookbook,’ a tribute to classic all-American dishes, written by Sheila Lukins, a co-author of the Silver Palate cookbooks that were popular in the 80s and 90s. There are no newfangled ingredients here – no lemongrass or curry or pesto – just eggs, mustard, mayonnaise, a dash of Tabasco and a festive sprinkle of paprika (if you’re feeling fancy, garnish with chives). They are basic, but spectacular, and always a welcome addition to the picnic table.”

See the RecipeNY Times recipe by Jeff Gordinier who states, “This sweet-and-salty steak comes from the writer Jeff Gordinier’s mother, who cooked it on a grill on their patio in California, under the grapefruit tree, after having soaked for hours in her teriyaki marinade. But marinated flank steak is such a foolproof crowd-pleaser that it can translate to any American topography. Serve in high summer as the sun goes down and the temperature drops.”

See the RecipeNY Times recipe from Julia Moskin who writes, “This isn’t steakhouse steak; it’s your-house steak, ideal for home cooks who want fast weeknight meals. The rules are simple: buy boneless cuts (they cook evenly), thinner steaks (they cook through on top of the stove), dry them well (to maximize crust), then salt and sear them in an insanely hot, preferably cast-iron pan. The recipe here is a radical departure from the conventional wisdom on steak, which commands you to salt the meat beforehand, put it on the heat and then leave it alone. Instead, you should salt the pan (not…

It can also substitute for tahini or be a worthy addition to certain meats. Here, it serves as the basis of a dipping sauce and marinade, a counterbalance to smoky pork skewers. A great warm-weather dinner, it’s ready in minutes, on the grill pan, the grill, or even the broiler.”

See the RecipeNY Times recipe from Sam Sifton who states, “Barbecued chicken isn’t, really: It’s grilled rather than smoke-roasted at low temperature. But it requires a similar attention to technique. You’ll want to move the pieces around on the grill to keep them from burning, and flip them often as well. Cooking barbecued chicken benefits from a basting technique used by the chef and outdoor cooking maven Adam Perry Lang, who thins out his sauce with water, then paints it onto the meat he’s cooking coat after coat, allowing it to reduce and intensify rather than seize up and burn.”

But there is an effective and easy method for getting it right, using two ovenproof skillets. A split chicken is placed in one of them, skin side down. The other skillet goes on top as a weight, which helps retain moisture and insures thorough browning. A couple of clean rocks or bricks can be used instead of the second skillet. (If the weight of choice doesn’t seem terribly…
