Shallot

Cozy, rich but not heavy, and it doesn’t require a box of broth. Is this your dream soup?

This cheeky chicken recipe crams all of the iconic flavors of a dirty martini—olive brine, vodka, vermouth, and all—into a savory one-pan meal.

Say you’re not a big onion person. This sauce, without the onions, is delicious on its own. If you do like onions, smoke 'em along with these potatoes for the perfect summer side dish.

Like a lighter riff on a classic French onion dip, this yogurt-based dip is just begging for chips or crackers. The texture will make you pause before reaching for sour cream–based ever again.
