These airy doughnuts are served with Singaporean Chili Crab at Starry Kitchen in Los Angeles.

Grilled or sautéed, these Vietnamese ground beef–stuffed leaves make a fantastic summer hors d'oeuvre or can be served with rice noodles and grilled vegetables for dinner.

The Reuben sandwich and the Rosen family date back to when Alan's Grandpa Harry and his brother Mike ran the Enduro Sandwich Shoppes in the late 1920s in Manhattan. That began a long Rosen history of serving some of the best Reubens in New York—but not always with corned beef! Today you can walk into Junior's and still order the Original Reuben, made only with corned beef. But now you also have the option of a Turkey Reuben with melted Swiss and coleslaw, a Pastrami Reuben, and this one, the Combo Reuben, which is overstuffed with corned beef and pastrami. Feel free to make them any way you like. At Junior's each Reuben comes with grilled sauerkraut and melted Swiss and is always on rye bread, hot off the grill, with potato salad on the side.

This has the authentic taste of that old-fashioned ripple of fudge. You can swirl it through just about any ice cream you like. Try it in old-fashioned Tin Roof Ice Cream with chocolate-covered peanuts.

These tasty burgers have a little chile kick and are ideal to pop into a sealable container and take to work for lunch.

Crushed potato chips, plus shredded potatoes, add salty, savory, crunch to the crust for this vegetarian quiche.

This gorgeous summer salad contains all the elements of a balanced meal—meat, starch, and veggies.

Shrimp, pasta, and feta in a creamy, tangy tomato sauce? Yes, please!

Puff pastry and jarred marinated artichokes make quick work of this impressive starter.

Spread it on toast, stir into pasta, or slather on grilled meats for the springiest meal ever.

This modern take on the classic B.L.T. uses smoky-sweet marinated tempeh as a protein-packed vegetarian substitute for bacon.

Protein-packed, fermented tempeh is thinly sliced and infused with a marinade of soy sauce, smoked paprika, and rich maple syrup to mimic the smoky-sweet flavor of the breakfast staple in this easy vegetarian recipe. Serve it with eggs for breakfast, add it to stir-fry, or layer it onto a veggie “B.L.T.”

The rich and zesty pan sauce is what makes this simple, seasonal supper something you’ll want to eat again and again.

No need to struggle slicing unruly butternut squash. Roast it whole first, then tear or cut it into portions and sear in a big skillet to caramelize.

Sauté hot Italian sausage meat with ginger and garlic, mix with veg, and dinner’s a wrap!

Herb butter—made with whatever herbs you have sitting around—is an excellent landing pad for a perfectly fried egg. Thinly sliced radishes add a refreshingly crisp bite.

A big soup spoon is the way to go for oil basting.
