Ravioli tossed with asparagus, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts and pancetta creates a delicious meal. The lemon juice and olive oil drizzle provide a light, fresh taste.

Sweet bell pepper & roasted chicken ravioli is complemented nicely with a sauce made with yellow tomatoes, garlic, Parmesan cheese and basil. An upscale taste that is still quick and easy.

Eggplant and tomatoes are delicious roasted and blended into a chunky sauce with garlic, crushed red pepper and mint. The sauce complements the chicken & roasted garlic tortelloni nicely and makes for a wonderful dish for entertaining.

Buttermilk, packed with calcium and probiotics, lends a subtle tanginess to this spice-spiked lassi. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for a hit of crunch.

Baking the crumble topping on its own means it gets supertoasty and crisp.

Warming the honey with rose water infuses it with flavor.

We like the texture of the leeks and zucchini when left al dente-if grilled too long, they'll both go floppy.

Between the rich chestnuts and the buttery rice, this dish has the chops to be a main.

This recipe is infinitely adaptable—swap in whichever summer fruit you prefer, add coconut flakes or sunflower seeds to the topping, and amp up the filling with fresh ginger or herbs.

At Sqirl, they make almond milk from scratch. You can, too (really): Visit bonappetit.com/nutmilk for our recipe.

Cooking the salmon skin side down maximizes its crispy potential; brown butter carries nutty flavor into the flesh.

Chocolate lover alert! These brownies are sensational: very chocolaty, moist, and delectable. It's not only their taste that is rich—they're also rich in healthy ingredients: whole-grain flour, chia seeds, walnuts, coconut oil, and I'll even include antioxidant-packed chocolate on this list. Once baked, you should let the brownies cool at least 30 minutes before cutting into them. At this stage they will be warm and gooey. These brownies taste even better the second day, so they are a great make-ahead dessert. If you plan on serving them on the day they're baked, refrigerate them for an hour or two before serving. — Myra

Says Chef Yu: "I really love a slightly softer taco filling with lots of toppings for crunch. This is based off a chili verde recipe that my chef used to do for staff meal, with a Mexican/Southeast Asian tinge. The two cultures share so many of the same flavors, it's easy to blend them without making it feel out of place."

Substitute whole almonds for the hazelnuts in these brown-buttery cakes, or use a combination of both.

This fresh take on fruit salad combines spring's favorite sweet-and-sour duo, plus hazelnuts and mint to round things out.

Making mamool by hand is in my DNA, so I forego the molds that are now available to make the process go faster. Of course, using them will not impact the taste of the cookie, but they will make a pretty design on top. They are available in Middle Eastern groceries and specialty kitchen stores. If you opt to use pistachios, soak them for 30 minutes, then drain them to help maintain their gorgeous green color. If you want to go dairy-free here, you can substitute orange blossom water for the milk.

Kosher Status: Pareve Bark is one of the easiest things to make. Just ask any tree. Okay, the poet Joyce Kilmer may have written that only God can make a tree, but we mortals can make a pretty mean chocolate bark (I said that last part). All you need is a microwave and a fridge. And some chocolate. So, like once a year I get my nails done—my fantasies about having a weekly standing appointment are second only to my fantasies about living in a spa. Anyway, on the occasional days that I get there, they always have Food Network on. One day, I saw Ina Garten make a French chocolate bark, and I thought, How easy-peasy is that? I'm gonna try it. I think that show was at least four years ago, but I remembered it. I have a great memory for some things. My day to drive carpool, not so much; but a recipe idea I want to make stays with me forever.
