If you cut the chicken into smaller pieces before breading, they’re nuggets—the guilt-free kind.

This zesty mayo dip would also go well with sliced red bell peppers and celery sticks before dinner; it’s amazing how many vegetables kids will eat when they’re actually hungry.

You need only a small amount of beer to flavor the sauce. We trust you know what to do with the rest of that bottle.

Save any leftovers and tuck them into sandwiches or fish tacos.

This dish is inspired by a steak salad recipe on the menu at Keens Steakhouse in NYC.

Spoon some aioli on a piece of toast, dunk it in the broth, and eat it along with the white wine-soaked mussels. Repeat.

Warm spices, supersweet Sun Gold tomatoes, and a short cooking time reinvent the ordinary marinara.

Ask for “dry” scallops at your fish market; they are free of preservatives and release very little liquid while cooking, which is key to getting a good crusty sear in this easy recipe.

Finishing this risotto with Tomato Water in place of stock gives it a pure, bright tomato flavor.

Fluke, hake, or cod are all good substitutions for the halibut.

The flavor of the spiced pickled fennel really pops with the sweet tomatoes.

This riff on gazpacho gets unexpected sweetness—and great color—from the addition of cherries and a peach.

Adding vinegar to the chorizo topping cuts the richness of the sausage and brightens the entire dish.

Replicate this recipe indoors by using a grill pan or cast-iron skillet set over high heat.

Instead of using canned tuna, this recipe puts you in control of the quality of the tuna and how long to cook it. We like it on the medium-rare side.

We love the shades of green you get from using one color of heirlooms, but this salad is equally delicious with any tomatoes you like.

Grilling whole fish is not as tricky as it sounds. We tie ours with kitchen twine, which makes them easy to handle.

Chop up these tangy, meaty tomatoes and use them as an all-purpose summer condiment on sautéed vegetables, salads, pasta, or cooked grains.
