Grilled Citrus-Shrimp Lettuce Cups
This marinade recipe works with any other quick-cooking shellfish or seafood—try scallops or squid.
Grilled Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches
Give your knife a few swipes on the sharpener and try to slice the grilled tenderloin as thinly as possible (think roast beef from the deli). It’ll make these open-faced pork sandwiches a lot easier to eat and such a difference in texture.
Raspberry Trifle with Custard and Whipped Cream
This trifle recipe was inspired by our love for The Great British Baking Show. These instructions will help you get even, beautiful layers. If you want to loosen it up a bit, Mary Berry might not approve, but it’ll still be delicious.
Sponge Cake
This recipe can also be used to make a 9" round cake; cook time is the same.
Carrot-Ginger Dressing
This dressing goes great with avocado salad, but we love it with simply prepared salmon, chicken, or rice as well.
Easy Homemade Caesar Dressing
Whipping up a homemade Caesar salad dressing is easier than you might think and definitely worth your while.
Ginger-Miso Grilled Asparagus
As the summer progresses and asparagus season dies down, use the same marinade recipe to grill green beans.
Rosé-Aperol Spritz
Meet your summer cocktail, a pinky and bubbly rosé wine spritz with Aperol and passion fruit juice. Now all you need is a pool to drink it next to.
Salvadoran Salsa Roja
The chicken bouillon, though optional, adds a hint of umami and a richness that you won’t get otherwise.
Roasted Eggplant Sabich Sandwiches
Sabich, a popular Israeli street food, is a pita-busting combination of a bunch of great appetizers.
Cinco Leches Cake
To get that classically decadent, milk-in-every-bite texture, be patient and let it sit overnight.
Katsu Curry
A pork cutlet (katsu) is a perfect pairing, but you can substitute chicken instead.
Shrimp Tostadas With Herbed Mojo de Ajo Slaw
The shrimp is even better when it’s grilled.
Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
This cake is a legendary (and delicious) Depression-era mistake.
French Onion Dip
There’s no shortcut when it comes to caramelizing the onions—be patient.
Rosy Gin-Kombucha Cocktail
New to kombucha? This cocktail is perfect for a test drive, because you’ll get a taste of “original” (unflavored) kombucha.
Stovetop Mac and Cheese
Muenster and Fontina are pretty soft cheeses and can be difficult to grate, so just stick both in the freezer 10 minutes to let them firm up before starting.
Butter Chicken
The butter sauce for this recipe was developed in the early 20th century in Delhi as a way to soften leftover tandoori chicken with tomatoes, butter, and cream.
Coconut-Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Collard Greens
Coconut oil and milk are the magic ingredients in this sweet potato recipe.
