These sugary, Parmesan-y, buttery rolls are a Christmas morning mainstay for chef Angela Dimayuga’s family.

For the clearest caramel and smoothest custard, we found that ceramic or glass baking dishes work best.

Traditionally made with ube (Filipino sweet potato), this recipe will work with any purple or orange sweet potato or yam.

If you trimmed any excess fat off the steaks, render it slowly over medium heat and use in place of the oil.

Roasting beets over high heat yields charred skin—a nice balance with the sweet flesh.

Don’t waste any of the paprika-tinted delicious juices remaining in the pan—sop them up with rice instead.

Set it and forget it: This stupid-simple method for pork belly with crackling skin and succulent meat is a total winner.

Angela Dimayuga of Mission Chinese Food likes using whole dried ashwagandha root in this clay pot dinner.
