Pineapple-Hibiscus Cocktail

We love the citrusy sour flavor of hibiscus, not to mention its amazing color.

Double-Pork Carnitas

A combination of pork belly and pork shoulder, slow-cooked to tenderness and then crisped in a pan, yields carnitas with unparalleled texture and richness.

Poutine on the Ritz Burger

This burger was inspired by one of the many punny burgers from the TV show Bob's Burgers. If you’re feeling really “ritzy,” ask your butcher to grind a couple of well marbled cuts for you and make a signature burger blend: we like a 50/50 mix of untrimmed brisket and boneless short rib.

Roasted Tomato–Cashew Salsa

If we had to give this salsa a heat index rating, it would get three out of five chiles.

Habanero Jam

Looks like a perfectly innocent bowl of apricot jam, burns like a bright and fruity pepper jelly.

Green Pico de Gallo

A cooling and crunchy green version of the typical salsa.

Sesame Tempeh Slaw

Let the tempeh marinate all morning, then put the dish together for lunch. This recipe is part of our lunch for a week series. Check out the rest for the remaining days.

BLT Lettuce Wraps

Bibb lettuce leaves are sturdy and crispy enough to balance out the bacon, tomatoes, and avocado for these lunch-friendly wraps. This recipe is part of our lunch for a week series; ‎check out the rest for the remaining days here.

Lemony Smoked Trout Tartine

This open-faced sandwich provides a twist on your usual lunch by using smoked trout. Adding fresh lemon juice helps balance out all the heavier flavors. This recipe is part of our lunch for a week series; ‎check out the rest for the remaining days here.

Rice and Beef Jerky Bowl

There's no better combination than shallots, rice, and beef jerky, but the greens and herbs help balance out this hearty lunch. This recipe is part of our lunch for a week series. Check out the rest for the remaining days here.

Direwolf Bread

Re-create Hot Pie’s iconic farewell gift to Arya in honor of your favorite show, Game of Thrones. Be sure to print out the wolf template on an 11x17" sheet and see other GoT-inspired recipes!

Sansa's Lemon Cakes

Sansa Stark made these desserts one of the most recognizable in Game of Thrones. She deserves a sweet treat after all she’s endured, and so do you. For a Dark Sansa version, pour syrup over the cake, then top with black sesame seeds. And be sure to check out our other GoT-inspired recipes!

Ceremonial "Pigeon" Pie

For a real taste of Joffrey’s gamey pigeon pie, use squab instead of chicken. Have a sword handy for slicing into it! Also check out our other GoT-inspired recipes.

Iced Turmeric Latte

This super-flavorful drink, also known as golden milk, is a sweeter, dairy-free take on traditional Indian Haldi Doodh (Turmeric Milk).

BA's Best Peanut Butter Cookies

What makes this peanut butter cookie recipe The Best? Well, there’s a few reasons actually. We call for natural peanut butter so that you can dial the sugar and salt amounts exactly. Instead of just adding roasted peanuts from the can, we roast them a second time for even more peanutty flavor. And the pan of water in the oven creates a burst of steam that gives the finished cookies the perfect crunchy-chewy texture. Now you know! This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

The Rattlesnake

The double-shake method is key to this cocktail’s texture. The first round is to break up the egg white; the second is to chill and froth the drink.

Winter Squash and Short-Rib Enchiladas

Enchiladas stuffed with richly spiced slow-cooked beef are the ultimate weekend cooking project.

Pork Enchiladas Rojas

These richly-spiced enchiladas are a totally worthwhile weekend cooking project.

Tex-Mex Breakfast Waffle Nachos

It’s breakfast! It’s brunch! It’s a snack! It’s a glorious mess. And in case you’re wondering, the waffles are pretty amazing just on their own.

Sweet-and-Spicy Chex Mix

Don’t scoff at the sour cherries in this Chex mix recipe! Their sweet bite and chewy texture are the perfect foil for all the crunch and salt and spice. But if you’re really not into it, sub mini chocolate chips instead.
