Simple Cooking

Quick-Pickled Rhubarb Salad

Rhubarb’s signature tartness is actually brought down by pickling!

Cantaloupe and Cucumber Salad

Toss sweet melon and crisp cukes in a bright coriander-cardamom dressing for a refreshing and delicious summer salad.

Mezcal Cocktail with Hibiscus and Cilantro

You can find loose hibiscus flowers at Mexican and Indian grocers, but if not, use 6 hibiscus tea bags instead.

Marinated Goat Cheese With Herbs and Spices

Looking for a throw-together app that seems way fancier than it is? Look no further than this gussied-up goat cheese situation.

Fried Oysters with Bacon, Garlic, and Sage

Holding the raw oysters in the rice-flour dredge is a genius do-ahead trick, allowing you to shuck and coat the oysters hours ahead of fry time.

Smoky Chili-Rubbed Steak

Coco Rico Vietnamese Fish Sauce

Serve with anything and everything—it will get better, spicier, and more Vietnamese-approved over time.

My Favorite Chocolate Cake

Chocolate cake absolutely has to be two things: dark and moist. To make sure it is sticky and dense I use buttermilk. Adding coffee to chocolate cakes really brings out the flavor in the cocoa.

Frosé Ice Pops

There's no better way to celebrate warm, sunny days than by sharing these fruity rosé wine ice pops with friends.

Lemon Curd with Berries

This very lemony curd is made with whole eggs instead of just the yolks, which gives it an extra-light texture.

Grilled Jerk Chicken

The longer you can let this chicken rest in the marinade (up to 24 hours), the better the warm, aromatic, fiery spices will penetrate the meat.

Stout-Steamed Shellfish with Charred Onions

To serve this dish as a main course for eight, double the recipe over two pots and throw some warm baguettes on the table.

Gluten-Free Coconut Bread

We’ve found that the best gluten-free recipes rely on a custom blend of flours and starches. To make your own sorghum flour, blitz whole sorghum to a powder with a Vitamix blender or a NutriBullet.

The Barbecue Burger

Here’s a way to infuse the evocative spice and smoke flavors of true barbecue into a conventional fast-cooking burger. It uses a smoke-scented barbecue rub. I call it The Barbecue Burger; you might call it smoky nirvana.

Crab Cakes with Snap Pea Salad

A mixture of almond meal and cornmeal replaces traditional breadcrumbs in these scallion- and mint-packed crab cakes. The raw snap pea salad is crunchy and refreshing—and it’s the perfect way to complete the meal.

Sheet-Pan Brownie Thins

These sheet-pan brownies don't require any special equipment. The batter gets spread into a thin layer yielding rich, chewy brownies that are about 1/4-inch thick.
