Crispy Potato Caesar Salad

Rachel Perlmutter — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 13:00:00 -0400

When I think about my dream roast potato (doesn’t everybody?), it’s shatteringly crisp on the outside, probably roasted in rendered chicken fat. It’s golden-brown all over with craggy edges to catch bits of garlic and seasonings, and yet the inside is impossibly tender and fluffy. Do you have chills, or is that just me? READ MORE...

Alexandra Foster — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 12:00:00 -0400

It’s perfect for those busy weeknights and has all the flavors and textures of lasagna but with half the effort. Make this recipe once, and you’ll easily see why it went viral. READ MORE...

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

Olwen Phillips — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 11:00:00 -0400

Put peanut butter in just about anything and I’m game, but swirl it into a three-layer fudgy chocolate bar and I’m actually powerless to resist. There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter. It calls to mind peanut butter cups, lunch box treats, and the most highly prized of Halloween spoils. READ MORE...

This Boxed Baking Mix Is So Good, I Pass It Off as My Own Recipe

Jarrett Melendez — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 10:30:00 -0400

I am a hardcore brownie-lover, and have been for decades. My brother, also famously a brownie-lover, and I would often fight over the middle of the pan for the rich, gooey center (I have since leaned into liking the edge pieces for the contrast of texture). I never held space in my life or my heart for blondies, but that all changed earlier this year when I tried Bob’s Red Mill Brown Sugar Blondie Mix for the first time. READ MORE...

Chicken Bouillabaisse

Patty Catalano — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 07:00:00 -0400

My sister just returned from a trip to France, and I was inspired by her photos and stories to cook a meal from her journey. One of the most beautiful stops on her vacation was the port city of Marseille, where bouillabaisse originated. Traditional bouillabaisse is a soup made with seafood in a homemade stock that is flavored with fennel, orange, and saffron. READ MORE...

I Make This Creamy One-Pan Chicken and Gnocchi Dinner Once a Week Every Fall

Celia Funderburk — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 14:00:00 -0400

Gnocchi has always been one of my dad’s favorite foods. If it’s on the menu, I know he’s going to order it. (Even though he continues to read aloud every single menu item and tell me how good they sound. That’s just what dads do, right?) Following in my father’s footsteps, I’ve grown particularly fond of gnocchi over the years. It’s pillowy and doughy, and the texture melts in your mouth. It also pairs well with every sauce I’ve tried it with. READ MORE...

Add a Can of This to Your Chocolate Cake Batter to Make It Unbelievably Moist

Celia Funderburk — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 13:00:00 -0400

A flourless chocolate torte is a glorious thing. Even though I’m not gluten free, it’s still one of my favorite desserts to order at a restaurant (right behind banana pudding or bananas Foster). It’s extra-fudgy and super-rich. And a side scoop of vanilla ice cream is never a bad idea. Despite how much I love flourless chocolate cake, I’ve never attempted to make one myself. READ MORE...

Homemade McGriddles

Rachel Perlmutter — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 08:00:00 -0400

The key part of any good copycat recipe is that one hard-to-pinpoint flavor component that makes the whole thing light up the nostalgia part of your brain. Without it, even a delicious meal feels a little bit like a letdown. For the homemade McGriddle, that turned out to be boxed pancake (or biscuit) mix. READ MORE...
