Spicy Kimchi Tofu Stew

This fiery Korean stew is my weekend detox. It's spicy, clean, and capable of reversing any damage the previous night may have caused.

Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder with Mustard and Sage

Serve this over a bed of soft polenta for catching the juices, with a simply dressed salad on the side.

Spicy Beans with Wilted Greens

Two humble ingredients have big impact here: The Parmesan rind adds richness; the dried beans deliver creaminess.

Thai Beef Stew With Rice Noodles

Spoon gingery, slow-cooked beef and vegetables over wide rice noodles for a warming, soul-satisfying dinner.

Chicken and Dumplings With Mushrooms

Our favorite Dutch oven is heavy-duty, big enough for any stew, and handsome enough to put on the table.

Pork and Squash Stew with Chiles

This stew calls for water instead of stock to be added. The pork shoulder will create a rich cooking liquid on its own.

Indian-Spiced Chicken With Tomato and Cream

A mix of fragrant spices, garlic, and fresh ginger turn this stewed chicken into the most perfectly warming dinner for an October Sunday.

Spicy Glazed Pork Ribs

This glaze also makes for an addictive tray of chicken wings. Use the same weight and method as for the ribs, but reduce final cooking time by 10 minutes.

Spiced Dark and Stormy

The longer the spices infuse in the rum, the more flavorful it will be.

Fregola with Clams

You probably won't have to salt the sauce itself since the clams are so briny; taste right before serving.

Wedge Salad

We think our wedge salad recipe is the ultimate iteration, but we're not opposed to innovation—like these embellishments and swaps.

Simple Syrup

Keep this staple in your fridge so you'll have it on hand for nonalcoholic cocktails and, of course, their boozy counterparts.

True Vanilla Ice Cream

There's nothing, um, vanilla about our homemade version of the classic. Of course, it also makes a great base for your favorite upgrades.

Cherry-Bourbon Ice Cream

Use a pre-made custard as your base and paddle in a sweet-and-boozy cherry and bourbon topping.

Chocolate-Malt Ice Cream

To make this easy ice cream, strain hot custard over semi-sweet chocolate and fold in malted milk balls once the custard has cooled.

Sesame Noodles with Chili Oil and Scallions

Spicy Sichuan pepper, which delivers a numbing effect along with nuanced heat, will leave your lips buzzing. Use any leftover chili oil in dressings or marinades.
