This sweet-sharp vinaigrette pairs well with the bitter chicories, but feel free to use another sturdy green if you like.

We get that sweet, salty, tangy, garlicky chicken adobo flavor with minimal effort. Lazy folks, rejoice!

The classic Cuban braise that definitely requires a side of maduros and beans.

When tahini is whisked with just some water, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt, it becomes an all-purpose condiment that can be made ahead and spooned onto nearly any dish.

Even steaming can overcook chicken. Keep the heat and steam gentle and remove it when it’s just firm and has a bit of spring when pressed.

The ultimate comfort food. Make this recipe your own depending on what you’ve got in the house. 

Look for dandelion greens that aren't much longer than a pencil, with waif-like stems. If you can't find them, swap in chopped chard, or spinach, or whatever greens happen to look best at your market.

Size matters. This isn't the time for a mammoth Oven Stuffer, nor do we want some petite poussin—a 3½–4-lb. bird has the proportions we're after. When the breasts are roasted to perfection, all that dark meat is on-the-nose-done too.

If this brings back memories of the “house salad” from that Italian-American restaurant you grew up eating at, then we consider our jobs done.

No overnight salting, brining, air-drying, temperature changes, or complicated trussing, just a simple roasted chicken.

Nothing compares to cast iron. Whether you're using a standard skillet or an enameled baking dish, the material's heat-retention qualities can't be matched by any tempered glass or even stainless-steel vessels.

Adding olive oil to this hot sauce recipe lends it body and mellows some of the heat.

If you want to stuff the roast as pictured, ask your butcher for a butterflied leg, not tied. Double the ingredients for the rub recipe and smear half onto lamb, then roll and tie it, and smear with the rest of the rub before roasting.

We love the easy walnut sauce that goes with this pork tenderloin. Make it up to a week ahead to go alongside another fast weeknight meal; just store in a jar and chill.

The only nonnegotiables for roast chicken recipes are a) being generous with the kosher salt inside and out and b) letting the chicken sit out for at least an hour, which gives the seasoning time to work its way deep into the meat, meaning every bite is delicious through and through.

Partially freeze the short ribs before you slice to get really thin cuts.

This tahini dressing recipe goes especially well with bitter greens but can also be paired with sweeter lettuces such as Little Gem or romaine.

Braising bone-in chicken in your dish helps build flavor and sauce depth.

The marinated white anchovies make this carrot salad stand out by adding a nice vinegary bite (if you opt for regular anchovies, season with less salt), and those little fishes are good for you, too!

This is how vegetables can crisp and caramelize, and not slowly steam and turn to mush.

The ceviche at Lil' Deb's Oasis in Hudson, NY, changes on a daily basis in an ever-evolving experiment of colors and flavors. The restaurant uses only locally caught fresh fish, so, in order to re-create at home, buy the highest-quality ingredients you can find.

Lil' Deb's Oasis's take on Peruvian "tiger's milk" features the energizing combo of fresh citrus juice, ginger, and turmeric.

To test boiled potatoes for doneness, use a skewer or the tines of a fork rather than the tip of a knife so you know they’re truly tender (a knife slides through the flesh way too easily). To test boiled eggs for doneness—wait, you can’t! Just make sure the eggs are room temperature when you drop them in the water (otherwise they’re prone to cracking), set a timer right away, and have an ice bath at the ready.

Because the fat is flavoring the waffles, look for high-quality, smoked deli bacon.
