Spicy honey helps the chops get nicely caramelized on the grill. A spoonful of peaches mixed with red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro completes the dish.

The complex flavor of this dish—briny, aromatic, slightly spicy—belies the extraordinarily simple method of actually making it.

Scorpion bowls are heavily boozed, sugared, and communally shared. These updated Apéritif Scorpion Bowls keep the fun and ditch the sting.

There is something really good about crunchy lettuce and a bright shallot dressing filled with the flavor of dried oregano completed by creamy feta.

We think of this flavor as old-fashioned—in the best way possible. It evokes an earlier time, when butter was churned at home by hand. Buttermilk enhances any kind of fruit, creating an interplay of tartness and richness.

Buttery brown sugar caramel flavors this ice cream, with an added boost from bourbon.

These yogurt-marinated kebabs are infused with flavor from ginger, garlic, and spices. Pick all your fixings and tuck into the perfect bite.

Smoky, subtly sweet grilled broccoli feels luxurious served on a bed of creamy egg salad, turning this dish into a satisfying, comforting main meal.

The defining characteristic of this chile sauce is the crispness, and in my version I’ve included old-fashioned rolled oats and coconut flakes for extra crunch. You will find me adding it to pasta, eggs, jook, pizza and, of course, roasted vegetables. 

Esqueixar means “to shred” and that’s what’s done to salt cod in this traditional Catalonian cold dish. Trout is used in this dish instead.

Pomegranate juice adds brilliant color and tangy flavor to these easy ice pops. Letting it freeze for a bit before stirring in the yogurt gives each pop a marbled look.

Even though this salad is all about summery from-the-farm watermelon and tomatoes, the corn nuts make the dish. Their salt and crunch accentuate the juicy sweetness of the fruit.

Layers of nutty pistachio ice cream and bright jam-flavored whipped cream make for a lovely pastel duo in this riff on a classic summer dessert.

A few tweaks to the standard icebox cake formula make this version stand out: jam (in this case, peach) folded into half of the whipped cream for a fruity element, Ritz crackers that go delightfully soft in the freezer but still make a case for belonging in dessert with their salty, buttery flavor, and a layer of butter pecan ice cream right through the middle.

For an easy, low-cook dinner, toss canned chickpeas with potatoes, cilantro-mint chutney, tamarind chutney, and yogurt, then top with chiles, onions, tomatoes, and chaat masala.
