    Crab with Romaine, Dill Sauce, and Sunflower Seeds

    Sprouting and frying the sunflower seeds completely transforms their flavor. But just using salted, roasted sunflower seeds would also work fine. This recipe is from Staplehouse, America's Best New Restaurant 2016.

    Roasted Cauliflower with Sesame and Bonito

    Great chefs take great pride in turning humble vegetables into world-class dishes. Which is something you ought to remind yourself of while simmering sesame seeds for 2 hours to make a sauce for this cauliflower. This recipe is from Staplehouse, America's Best New Restaurant 2016.

    Farro with Roasted Mushrooms

    At Staplehouse, they use Anson Mills’ farro piccolo for this dish, and you can order that online. Unpearled farro, though, will be very similar, and if you see grains labeled einkorn, use that.

    Chicken Liver Mousse with Burnt Honey Gelée

    This has become a Staplehouse all-star. We simplified it a bit, setting it in jars rather than the buttery pastry crust it’s served in at the restaurant. Don’t worry: We didn’t mess with the shamelessly high ratio of butter and cream to liver.
