    Shrimp Fried Rice

    Seemingly bottomless leftover rice will have me making some version of this Shrimp Fried Rice. Otherwise, I've got my eyes on Flaky Bread. If it's warm enough, I might even attempt to grill it. —Joanna Sciarrino, assistant editor

    Chicken with Figs In Ras-El-Hanout and Couscous

    I went a little crazy at a spice shop in Marrakech last week, so now I've got more Ras el Hanout than I know what to do with. Going to address that "problem" by making this chicken and figs dish. —Meryl Rothstein, senior associate editor

    Dim Sum

    Sunday is dim sum day! I hate to reveal Chinatown secrets, but I guess I must: My wife, our kids, and two other families are going to Wing Shoon Seafood Restaurant, a haven of Cantonese roast meats, delicate hakao and rice rolls, and puffy pork buns. Beyond the food, I love its size—neither a banquet hall nor a hole-in-the-wall—the friendly, accommodating staff, and the fact that it used to be a Jewish cafeteria where Isaac Bashevis Singer used to write. —Matt Gross, web editor

    Nashville Barbecue

    This weekend, no cooking for me. I'm going to Nashville—meaning Prince's hot chicken, barbecue, and all of the beers. —Danielle Walsh, assistant web editor

    Basque Cake

    When I saw that Lottie + Doof somehow obtained the Basque Cake recipe from pastry chef Amanda Rockman (currently at Nico in Chicago), I had two thoughts: (1) Is this real life? And (2) I know exactly what I'm baking this weekend. —Julia Kramer, associate editor
