Banana–Nut Muffins
These moist, tender banana-nut muffins get warmth from cinnamon and nutmeg, and vanilla extract brings a delicate floral note that complements the sweetness of the brown sugar and ripe bananas.
Broken Egg Salad
This dish has all the elements of a classic egg salad — eggs, mayonnaise and mustard — with one radical change: The cooked eggs are simply torn into deliciously irregular chunks of whites and yolks in a more laid-back approach. Egg salad recipes usually call for hard-boiled eggs, but since they stay largely intact here, this recipe calls for just-set yolks that are golden and jammy at their core. When cooking eggs, every second counts, so make sure you set a timer as soon as the eggs hit the water to avoid overcooking. Eat this egg salad as you would the classic: with bread as a sandwich or tartine, tossed with some chickpeas or grains, or served alongside roasted veggies.
Frosted Carrot Cake With Ras el Hanout
In this twist on the classic carrot cake, ras el hanout, a vibrant Moroccan spice blend, replaces the recipe’s typical spices. Translating from “top of the shop” in Arabic, ras el hanout refers to a blend of the finest available spices in the shop. Its warm, complex flavor, rich with cinnamon, ginger and coriander, adds a delightful kick and fragrance that perfectly complement the tangy cream cheese frosting.

Turkey Meatloaf With Parmesan and Red Wine
Adapted from Renee Erickson, the Seattle chef and restaurateur, this meatloaf has more verve than most. The ground meat (in this case turkey, but you can substitute beef or pork) is seasoned with grated orange zest, garlic and Parmesan for maximum oomph. But the real secret lies in the tomato sauce that stripes the center and top of the loaf, which is spiked with red wine. The tangy sauce adds color and complexity to the loaf and helps keep it extra juicy as it bakes. Serve this with mashed potatoes and peas for a classic, comforting meal, then tuck leftover slices into buttered toast the next day for the best meatloaf sandwiches imaginable.

German Pancake
This large-format pancake puffs up at the perimeter, creating light airy edges, while the center remains denser and almost custard-like. It’s the combination of these two textures that makes the German pancake special — that, and the ease of being able to whip up pancakes for six without being tethered to the griddle. What’s the difference between a Dutch baby and a German pancake, you may wonder? Semantics, really. The origin of this giant baked pancake is commonly attributed not to a Dutch or German dish, but to a Seattle restaurant called Manca’s that began serving the dish in the 1940s. The inspiration and name for this uniquely puffy pancake may have come from some variation of pfannkuchen (the German word for pancakes) and the word Deutsch (German) pronounced in American English eventually morphing into “Dutch.” While many German pancake recipes call for a cast-iron skillet, this recipe uses a 9-by-13-inch rectangular baking pan to create one gargantuan pancake with plenty of crisp edges. How you serve the pancake is up to you: Fill it with berries and maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar, or cut it into individual squares and let everyone top the pancakes to their liking.
Boneless Buffalo Wings
This potentially controversial recipe takes a few steps away from traditional Buffalo wings: It starts with boneless chicken breasts, pan-fries them, and then serves the Buffalo sauce on the side for dipping instead of coating the chicken. But it’s got a goal: This ensures all the hard work of securing a crispy piece of chicken doesn’t go to waste. These boneless wings are crunchier, and, without the pesky bones, they’re arguably more snackable. The elusive texture of wet-crunchy is in full effect here when chunks of crisp chicken breast and celery get dunked into the zingy Buffalo sauce.

Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
Crispy, savory, homemade fried cheesesteak egg rolls are well within your grasp—if you know a few simple tricks.
Spicy Turkey Burgers
The turkey burger doesn’t always get the respect (and love) it deserves, because turkey’s leanness can create a dry, crumbly burger. But those worries disappear when you add a dollop of mayonnaise to the burger mix, which ensures a juicy bite and encourages a caramelized coating. Using a mix of ground cayenne and paprika gives the patties a smoky heat that amplifies their meaty flavor. The garlicky iceberg slaw tames the burger’s spiciness and should spill out of the sides like a happy mess.
Chocolate Pudding Cups
This grown-up chocolate pudding, which uses dark chocolate and a luxurious custard base rooted in European techniques, is served in small individual portions and nods to childhood indulgence. Perfect for a dinner party, you can prepare this the morning or day before your guests are to arrive, chill it and you’ll have a perfectly set dessert just waiting to be garnished and served. (Crème fraîche is a perfect accompaniment.)
