Yogurt Soup With Orzo and Chickpeas
The delicate flavor and vibrant color of this yogurt soup is a truly unique addition to your soup season menu. The recipe, which comes from cookbook author Claudia Roden, is as hearty as it is creamy with chickpeas and orzo pasta swimming in a savory yogurt seasoned with chicken stock, dried mint, and saffron. A little heat and tang from a topping of Aleppo pepper and sumac makes the luxuriant and comfortable experience complete.
Broccoli, Balsamic, Burrata, Amen
Like most cheese, all burrata had to do was exist for TikTok influencer and cookbook author Justine Doiron to love it. On this melty toast, the burrata comes in at the end, but it’s most definitely the star. Thin strands of broccolini get all crispy in the oven, balsamic caramelizes on the edges, and a swipe of roasted red pepper paste sets up the toast for everything to pile on top.
Pork Chops With Green Chiles and Apples
Thick chops get all dressed up in this easy-impressive dinner, ready in 30 minutes.
Cheesy Brats With Celery-Pickle Relish
We love a classic all-beef-with-just-mustard situation, but sometimes the occasion calls for a bun stuffed with a bit more flair. That’s where these gussied-up sausages come in. They are butterflied to create two flat sides for even cooking and maximized char. One side gets topped with cheese—which, when tucked into a bun, encases the sausage in meltiness—and the other side forms a perfect crevice for stuffing with a bright and crunchy celery relish.
Simple Hot Cocoa for One
Now that the temperatures are cooler and we've all pulled our sweaters out from hiding, we're ready to officially declare it hot drink season—specifically hot cocoa season. This Simple Hot Cocoa for One recipe from "Gourmet" magazine is perfect for cozying up with. Make one as a gift to yourself or to show someone else some appreciation.
Cheesy Brats With Celery-Pickle Relish
While we love a classic all-beef-with-just-mustard situation, sometimes the occasion calls for a bun stuffed with a bit more flair. That’s where these gussied-up sausages come in. They are butterflied (i.e., cut down the length and split open like a book) to create two flat sides for even cooking and maximized char. One side gets topped with cheese and the other side forms a perfect crevice for stuffing with a bright and crunchy celery relish.
Pork Chops With Green Chiles and Apples
In this easy-but-impressive recipe, the combination of green chiles and apples takes center stage as a textural topping for meaty pork chops. We like to use thick-cut, bone-in chops here; each serves two people, so you can cook enough for four in one pan without having to work in batches. You’ll make the topping in the porky fond left behind, applying sweet-and-tangy agrodolce flavors to canned diced green chiles and large pieces of apples. It's the perfect, impressive 30-minute dinner.
Basil Fried Rice Recipe

17 One-Pot Pastas to Save Your Tuesday Night

We have these classic, easy pasta recipes, as well as boiled noodles tossed with no-cook sauces for hot summer nights, and pastas that start on the stove before heading to the oven for a melty, cheesy finish.

Sweet Potato Cornbread Recipe
This sweet potato cornbread recipe comes together quickly. After just 12 minutes in the microwave—though it also works with a leftover baked sweet potato (or canned sweet potato purée)—the tubers emerge soft and steamy, ready to be mashed and whisked into the wet ingredients. Much like regular cornbread, you can take this recipe in a savory or sweet direction: Top with melted butter and maple syrup, or add minced chives and serve with a warm bowl of chili. Or make them into cornbread muffins.
No-Bake Chocolate Oat Cookies
When it's too hot to turn on the oven, or you're craving something sweet and chewy, make these easy, no-bake cookies. They're not your average stovetop chocolate oat drops. For one thing, they're peanut butter-free (using almond butter instead). Next, they get crunchy toasted almonds for amped-up flavor and texture. Third, chewy dried cherries provide a burst of acidity and give a bit of an oatmeal raisin vibe. Finally, they’re dusted in a blanket of cocoa for a well-rounded chocolate flavor.
Pasta With No-Cook Zucchini Sauce
Made with cut zucchini that is salted and marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon, garlic, and basil, plus tangy cream cheese for richness, this recipe is proof that a satisfying pasta can be made with minimal cooking. It's the perfect dinner recipe if you don't know what to do with all that summer squash. Plus it's great for those hot days when you don't want to cook over the stove for too long.
