Root Vegetable
Smoked Salmon Breakfast Salad with Crispbread
Everything good about a lox and bagel sandwich (minus the bagel).
Chickpea Pancakes with Leeks, Squash, and Yogurt
Weekday pancakes sound like a stretch? Make the batter Sunday evening and start the week strong.
Seared Sweet Potatoes with Sausage and Radicchio
These days, it goes without saying that if you're a vegetarian, you can simply leave out the sausage.
"Tandoori" Carrots with Vadouvan Spice and Yogurt
Inspired by the rich flavors of food cooked in a tandoori oven, these carrots get their warm, savory notes from vadouvan.
Weeknight Porchetta
Sometimes it's okay to cut corners: Here we make the classic Italian dish with bacon and skip the multiday air-drying process. It's not traditional, but it sure is delicious
Freekeh Paella with Clams and Almond Aioli
Fair to say we're pretty much obsessed with this nut-based (egg-free!) aioli. Try it with walnuts, too.
Pork Chops with Carrots and Toasted Buckwheat
Chef Kramer cooks the chops medium-rare so they stay juicy; you can also use rib chops.
Red Rice Salad with Pecans, Fennel, and Herbs
This crunchy winter salad is exactly what you'll want to pack for lunch this week.
Beets with Goat Cheese, Nigella Seeds, and Pistachios
Steaming is back! The vinegar-and-spice-infused liquid flavors the beets as they cook.
Roasted and Charred Broccoli with Peanuts
Believe it or not, we came up with a new way to chop broccoli.
Crunchy Turnip, Apple, and Brussels Sprout Slaw
This slaw reimagines Brussels sprouts as an adorable mini salad green. Core them with a paring knife and the leaves will pop right off.
Bean and Walnut Salad with Fried Eggs
If you don’t have time to make a batch of flageolets from scratch, choose the best canned cannellini beans you can find. We're a big fan of Bioitalia beans.
Spanish Tortilla Bites with Winter Greens and Garlic
The Spanish Tortilla (or Tortilla Española) is not actually a tortilla at all--at least in the way most Americans understand the term. Instead, tortilla is a large, delicious frittata of eggs and potatoes. This fresh take on the classic Spanish dish is a great make-ahead, single-bite hors d'oeuvre for a cocktail party. The mild base ingredients are a great canvas for added layers of flavor, and, once you learn the technique, the variations are endless. It is delicious served warm, room temperature or even cold, and is a great, filling option for any gluten-free guests you might be catering to.
Roast Pork Belly Toasts with Blood-Orange BBQ Sauce and Pickled Red Onion
This meltingly tender pork belly is an impressive yet surprisingly easy hors d’oeuvre to make—all you need is patience. The pork belly, barbecue sauce, pickled onions and crostini can all be completed at least three days ahead of time, making day of prep a breeze.
Endive Cups With Beet, Persimmon and Marinated Feta
This is a gorgeous, seasonal hors d'oeuvre that would be lovely on a table or as a passed appetizer. The tang of the feta compliments the sweetness of the salad and the bitterness of the endive leaf, and the jewel tones of the beet and persimmon make for a beautiful bite.
Root Vegetable and Farmers Cheese Galette
This large galette takes root vegetables to the next level. The creamy leek filling and pastry crust make it substantial enough to accompany a few cocktails, and the presentation is sure to impress.
Our Favorite Latkes
We fried dozens of latkes—all the highest-rated versions on our site—to come up with our ultimate recipe with fluffy, pillowy-soft centers and crisp, golden brown edges.
Pomegranate and Fennel Glazed Rack of Lamb
Two racks make enough for each person to have two chops. Cut between each bone individually for single chops, or cut into double-rib portions.
Braised Veal Shanks with Bacon-Parmesan Crumbs
There's marrow in those bones! Scoop out the cooked marrow and whisk it into the braising liquid, or eat it on a crust of bread with salt. You earned it.
