No matter how you approach this deconstructed Vietnamese sandwich, each bite is packed with tanginess, sweetness, and layers of umami.

This tortellini salad is perfect for make-ahead lunches & makes great use of zucchini! The roasted garlic isn't necessary but in my opinion, worth it!

Chile con Queso did the heavy-lifting for my mother. As far as crowd-pleasing party food goes, it is a sure thing: dead-easy recipe, consistent, and good.

Jamaican Jerk Roast Chicken With Fried Plantains
I’m kicking up the heat with a spicy flair by adding a Jamaican jerk seasoning and plantains to my roast chicken recipe, along with lime juice and olive oil.

Chocolate Nemesis
This chocolate nemesis cake has all the deep, creamy chocolate flavor of the best chocolate mousse. But it also has structure due to the fact that it's a cake.

Ken Forkish's Hawaiian Pizza
If you have a deep affection for Hawaiian pizza, this recipe will make the best and most thoughtfully balanced you’ve ever tasted. And if, instead, Hawaiian pizza makes you inexplicably angry—well, if any pie is going to change your mind, this is it. Regardless of which side of the salty-sweet chasm you find yourself on, any homemade pizza can benefit from Forkish’s technique—and the sneaky-genius trick of tucking a thin layer of bacon grease below the sauce. You won’t taste bacon, you will just taste *good*. Adapted slightly from The Elements of Pizza (Ten Speed Press, 2016).

The Orchard Mocktail
The Orchard mocktail gets its striking fuchsia hue from blueberry juice, which has a concentrated berry flavor that pairs wonderfully with fresh basil.

30-Minute Skillet Chicken Thighs with Crispy Garlic Chips
This 30 Minute, one-pan, few-ingredient, Chicken Thigh recipe is impossibly crisp and juicy, topped with a tangle of garlic chips that are fried in chicken fat.

Von Diaz’s Pork Tenderloin Pernil Style
Von Diaz is sitting on the secret to not-at-all boring or dry pork tenderloin. In an ode to her mother, a working parent who always preferred her meats light and lean, Diaz seasons and marinates tenderloin like pernil, a Puerto Rican dish that's traditionally made with pork shoulder and roasted low and slow for several hours. Bonus: Because tenderloin can cook much faster and hotter and stay tender, you get to pernil in under 30 minutes. Adapted slightly from Coconuts & Collards: Recipes and Stories from Puerto Rico to the Deep South (University Press of Florida, 2018).

Artichoke Tapenade
Recipe excerpted with permission from Vegetarian Party Food by Jessica Oldfield, published by Hardie Grant Books.

Nigel Slater’s Raspberry Ripple Sandwich
This sandwich is a joyously messy experience and nostalgic even if you didn’t grow up in England eating raspberry ripple ice cream (which is vanilla with a raspberry swirl, for the rest of us). The recipe originally comes from Eat, Slater’s book full of simple, narrative recipe ideas, leaving the amounts to your taste and imagination. This mini recipe is adapted slightly from Genius Desserts (Ten Speed Press, September 2018), one of 7 ways to turn a loaf of bread into dessert.

Estela's Candied Sesame Seeds
This is one of the more rewarding ways to spend 10 minutes. As you stir sesame seeds in a sticky syrup, suddenly the water disappears and a dry crystalline layer of sugar pops to the surface. At Estela, chef Ignacio Mattos’s curve-shattering restaurant in New York City, they roll scoops of caramelized white chocolate in the candied seeds, but the seeds are also just as good sprinkled over ice cream or paletas, or topping a brownie or a slice of cheesecake—anywhere you want a little crunchy sesame-flavored twinkle.

Dori Sanders’ No-Churn Fresh Lemon Ice Cream
When it’s too hot to make a custard, it’s nice to know that you can still have sweet-tart, bracing no churn lemon ice cream all the same. This recipe is perfect!

Blackberry and Apple Fool
In the recipe of Apple Fool, fruit compote and softly whipped cream are the sole components. I like to serve it with some crisp, buttery cookies for contrast.

Frozen Honey Mousse
Your new favorite frozen dessert recipe isn't ice cream—it's mousse. And it isn't chocolate mousse—it's honey. We serve ours with honey and fresh blackberries.
