Gluten Free

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.

Made of dried figs blended with coconut and a pop of cinnamon, pack these energy balls along for a post-workout snack or afternoon pick-me-up.

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

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.

Salt and bittersweet chocolate lend a savory, sophisticated edge to this typically saccharine-sweet dessert.

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.

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

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

Many gravlax recipes will instruct you to drain, turn, and babysit the fish while it cures. Not this one: Set it and forget it. Three days later it will be done.

These homemade onion-flavored chips just might be more addictive than the store-bought versions.

Bright citrus and fresh-ground pepper put a festive spin on two party staples: cured meat and Marcona almonds.

The only thing more crowd-pleasing than cheese is marinated cheese. If Manchego isn’t your thing, go for any semi-firm cheese like white cheddar, Gouda, or Monterey Jack.

These quick pickles have just the right amount of sweet, salt, and tang going on. The brine can work with any crunchy veg, but we like them best with cucumbers. We guarantee they'll be the sleeper hit of your next party spread.

This hearty, meaty, sauerkraut-braised dinner takes only 25 minutes in the oven.

With crispy mini potatoes and hearty greens that are roasted in a sweet-tart mustard dressing, this 25-minute dinner is an easy crowd-pleaser.
