A Grilled Dinner So Fast You Can Make It at Midnight
It has just four main ingredients: greens, cheese, tomatoes, and bread.
Grilled Greens and Cheese on Toast
Pile charred Halloumi cheese, kale, and cherry tomatoes on garlicky bread for an almost-instant dinner from the grill. No bread? No problem—toss everything else together and eat it as a salad.
Old-School Tiramisu
This tiramisu is moist but not wet, extra-fluffy, and made with real coffee and the perfect amount of dark rum.
Crispy Pita With Chickpeas and Yogurt (Fattet Hummus)
This creamy, crunchy breakfast dish also pairs well with vegetables, fish, or lamb come dinnertime. The canned chickpeas pick up some flavor from a quick simmer with garlic.

Strawberry Smoothie
A splash of vanilla and honey give this everyday smoothie just the right amount of sweetness.
Buttermilk Waffles

Spiced Lamb Wraps with Ramp Raita
The lamb for these wraps—bursting with flavorful spices and herbs—is cooked in the oven, but it would also be amazing cooked on a grill.
Papas con Rajas
This combination of roasted poblano chiles, cubed boiled potatoes, onions, and crema, cooked into a savory concoction makes a divine vegetarian taco filling.
Spinach and Artichoke Melts

Za’atar Chicken With Garlicky Yogurt
Here the garlic- and lemon-infused pan dripping are mixed into a citrusy za’atar oil and spooned over the fall-apart meat.
Little Wedge Salad With Sour Cream Dressing
We KonMari'd the classic wedge, got rid of all the extraneous ingredients, and ended up with a salad that sparks joy: crunchy iceberg and a rich, tangy dressing.
Caramelized Onion Pasta
All you need for this simple pasta are onions, garlic, and Parmesan. The caramelized onions bring a luscious sweetness, while the pasta water and Parm bring salt and depth to the creamy sauce.
Cheesy Loaded Sweet Potatoes
For an easy 15-minute dinner, steam a batch of potatoes in advance. Then, top them with sour cream, avocado, radishes, pickled onions, and other fixings for a quick variation of the taco bar concept.
Arancini
Made with leftover risotto, these rice balls are stuffed with prosciutto, Parmesan, and parsley. Serve them as an appetizer at your next cocktail party.
Ruth Reichl's Favorite Recipes from the Gourmet Years
These are the recipes she cooks again and again.
Bacon and Cheddar Toasts
Think: bacon and cheddar sandwich, but on a crouton. These bite-sized snacks with crispy crusts will leave all the other hors d'oeuvres in the dust.
Manicotti
This is project cooking at its best: tender manicotti wrappers are made by quickly cooking batter into pasta-like crepes. They're filled with a creamy trio of ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella, and covered with fresh tomato sauce before baking.
Deconstructed Chicken Caesar Salad
This go-to meal, ready in less than 20 minutes, has all the elements of a classic chicken Caesar salad—but instead of tossing them together, we celebrate each on its own.
Rigatoni with Meat Sauce
This is the hearty pasta dish that everyone loves to eat. The rigatoni cooks right in the sauce, which not only saves you from having to wash an extra pan—it makes the pasta more flavorful.
