Dinner

For this gorgeous salad, choose persimmons that are super soft. The riper the fruit, the sweeter the flavor.

For this gluten-free version of eggplant Parm, rounds of eggplant are sliced and breaded in a mixture of ground almonds and Parmesan cheese, then baked before being layered with cheese and sauce.

Radishes, contrastingly crunchy and peppery to tender and sweet pears, take rather well to modern pickling, the sort that is less about preserving and more about making something to shake other flavors from their shyness.

Any root veg you have on hand will work for this easy dinner. Serve with eggs, fish, chicken, burgers, salads, or use it as a taco or quesadilla filling.

This dinner is a fry-up, of sorts. The smell of apples and smoked bacon frying on a damp day brings everyone into the kitchen, plate in hand.

I know a salad of Brussels sprouts sounds mirthless, but I urge you to give it a chance. It has enough citrus, almonds and rough-skinned apple to be interesting.

You can make this raw, root vegetable slaw up to four days before you plan to eat it.

A generous dash of crushed red pepper cuts through the sweet, rich tomato-cream sauce of this Italian-American classic.

It’s too soon for grilling season, but it’s never too soon to smash a burger on a griddle (or cast-iron pan) in the comfort of your kitchen. Freezing before cooking allows the patty to develop a satisfying crust while retaining a pink and juicy center.

Fry shreds of leftover slow-cooked pork to an irresistible crisp for this quick, gingery green bean and cabbage stir-fry.

Serve this warmly spiced, slow-cooked pork in its entirety for a crowd, or treat it as a "nextover" and turn the extra servings into a brand-new dinner later in the week.

Store-bought puff pastry and a meat-and-potatoes filling come together as your New Year’s Eve dinner centerpiece.

We've adapted the classic roast into a buffet-style, serve-yourself dish, with options: make a sandwich (with cornichons and horseradish sauce) if you want, or eat it up as distinct components if that's more your thing.

We spiked the glaze for our retro-chic ham with hot sauce and apple cider vinegar to cut through the cloying sweetness of the original.

Crisping mushrooms in bacon fat infused with rosemary gives this salad satisfying texture and rich, comforting flavor, enhanced by a runny poached egg.

The diner classic gets a boost from a pot of zesty, creamy beans and sweet charred limes

When in doubt, frittata. This version turns greens-and-beans into a complete one-skillet supper.

Ever wish you could master restaurant-style egg toasts? Well now you can with this salty, smoky, creamy combo. Crème fraîche is the secret ingredient for a custardy scramble, and high-quality smoked fish and good bread are worth the splurge—they make all the difference here.

A good party spread is as much about curation as it is cooking. By using quality store-bought items and plating them up with a little bit of TLC, you have a tasty, stress-free snack at the ready.
