A Brilliant Burger and Other Inspired Recipes May 28, 2021, 1:30 p.m. ET When I was picking out this week’s recipes for you, I was dreaming of Memorial Day weekend gatherings and the days that follow, that first big summer-vibe weekend of the year. (By the way, our Food staff’s favorite recipes for the season are right here in this amazing feature.) But then I noticed that the recipes below have something else in common: inspiration drawn from wide-ranging sources, some slightly tweaked and...

Wow your friends and family with slaws, salads and braises that don’t shy away from flavor.

People Are Coming Over May 21, 2021Updated 2:33 p.m. ET I’ve seen a few articles now about the awkward social transition many of us face as more people are vaccinated, and our emergence into a world where we will once again wear shoes and interact with strangers and maybe even attend a party. (Maybe.) My own version of this arrived when friends came over to eat, and I had no clue what to make for them. I hadn’t really cooked anything for anyone who wasn’t my immediate family in almost a y...

Hot New Recipes May 17, 2021, 10:30 a.m. ET Good morning. Here we go again. Another week at the desk by the bed. I’m not complaining, though! Come dinnertime, I’m just steps from the kitchen, and with some ace new recipes, too. I’m excited to try Hetty McKinnon’s yo po mian (above), Shaanxi hot oil noodles, in which noodles and greens are topped with garlic and chiles, and then hot oil is poured over the top to deliver big flavors fast. That’d be a fine meal. Eric Kim brought us a ter...

Just-Right Recipes May 14, 2021 The sun is out. I’ve made my annual switch to iced coffee. I’m buying Lambrusco and making a spritz. Summer is nigh! After the year we all had, you will catch me indoors only when it’s time to sleep, shower or type on this laptop (and maybe not even then). But, OK, let’s still take a beat to revel in spring. Many of the recipes below are gloriously green, and all are just the right heft for this in-between moment. Best of all, they are legitimately easy t...

More Sauce, Please! May 7, 2021 I think I am having a sauce moment with our newest recipes. First, there was the guasacaca sauce from Yewande Komolafe’s recipe that I wrote about last week. Last night, I made Eric Kim’s new recipe for chicken with fish-sauce butter, which is below. Then there is Hetty McKinnon’s tahini sauce with her roasted carrot salad, also below. All of the above can be paired with chicken, tofu, grains, fish, vegetables, eggs and/or steak. This is a meal format I lov...

Pan-Seared Gnocchi and Other Brilliant Ideas April 9, 2021 On Monday, I finally decided to try a trick that has appeared on New York Times Cooking a few times in the past year or two: searing or roasting store-bought gnocchi, rather than boiling it. Ali Slagle even wrote a whole story about this approach, which works with both shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi. I will admit to initially having a block when it came to this idea. It seemed like each little gnocchi would be irredeemably dry and...
