The Most-Saved Recipes in the Epicurious App in 2023
All products featured on Epicurious are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links.
We built the new Epicurious app because we hoped you’d take us into your kitchen with you; we’ve been busy all year filling it with expert-tested recipes from our own team, our colleagues at Bon Appétit, the archives of Gourmet, and cookbooks we love. So it’s fun to see which dishes you’ve been cooking most—the weeknight meals that instantly become staples, the baking projects you’re excited to tackle, and the holiday favorites you know you’re going to make again next year. Scroll down for a look back at some of the keepers and to find some new ideas for your dinner table.

Some people find cooking salmon intimidating, but the secret is all in the oven temperature. This recipe goes low and slow, so you’re not in danger of overcooking the fish. Just add a nice salad on the side.

It’s hard to find a dinner party main course that really works for a group and feels special without requiring a lot of last-minute prep. This dish is a go-to for us. Don’t even consider skipping the crispy roasted mushrooms on top.
