Marinated Spinach with Sesame
Vegan
Recipes
In this simple preparation, spinach stems add textural interest to the wilted leaves. Make sure to be thorough when squeezing out the greens, otherwise the dressing will get watered down.
Lamb Tartare

Use the best quality lamb you can find. Chilling the deboned loin in the freezer for 15 minutes will make it easier to handle.
Striped Bass with Lime Broth

Serving a perfectly cooked, crisp-skinned piece of fish in a seasoned lime broth lets you get a spoonful of bright flavor in every bite.
Skate Wing Schnitzel
Recipes
“This dish was on our opening menu and still makes an appearance whenever we can get fresh skate wings,” says chef Adam Evans. His method also works with skinless turbot, flounder, or sole fillets.
Orecchiette with Squash, Chiles, and Hazelnuts
Recipes
There are two hits of chile in this dish. It’s used early on to infuse the oil, where it mellows. The sprinkle added at the end is more “precocious,” says chef Philip Krajeck, Rolf and Daughters, Nashville. “It’s not in every bite, but when it hits you, it makes a big impact.”
Fat Rice
Recipes
If paella escaped from Spain, sailed to China, and did some soul-searching along the way, you’d have the namesake dish at Chicago’s Fat Rice. The generous pot of aromatic rice, curry-scented chicken, and (much) more can be traced back to Macau, the former Portuguese colony in China, where it’s almost always served at home. Chefs Abraham Conlon and Adrienne Lo took inspiration from foreign-language cookbooks; their version is a blend of Portuguese and Chinese cooking that Conlon calls “the origin”…
Seaweed and Tofu Beignets with Lime Mayonnaise
Recipes
At Alma, Los Angeles, these airy beignets are topped with yuzu kosho, a spicy condiment made with yuzu (an aromatic Japanese citrus), chile, and salt. Though not the same, we got great results using lemons.
Shoyu Ramen
Recipes
Bringing ramen home takes a trip to an Asian market, three days of work, and your largest pot, but this low-stress (really!) labor of love might be the best soup you'll ever make.
Roasted Pepper Panzanella
Easy
Recipes
If you’d like, let the croutons sit in the pepper mixture until the bread is fairly soft; it’ll soak up the flavorful dressing.
Garlic-Chile Relish
Recipes
Sichuan peppercorns are technically not peppercorns but dried berries from the prickly ash shrub, and are essential to Sichuan cuisine. They deliver nuanced heat along with a numbing and tingling sensation.
Comeback Sauce
Recipes
Chef Adam Evans says this creamy mayonnaise-based sauce originated “somewhere in Mississippi,” and is similar to rémoulade. “It’s great with peel-and-eat shrimp, fried oysters, on a grilled fish sandwich, or as a substitute for tartar sauce.”
Salsa Verde with Pine Nuts
Recipes
This salsa verde is notable for two unusual additions—toasted pine nuts, which add buttery texture to every bite, and lime juice and zest, which are a fragrant alternative to the more commonly used lemon juice or vinegar. Blanched almonds can be used in place of the pine nuts; chop them into small pieces after toasting.
Homemade Pasta
Vegan
Recipes
Because this dough is eggless, it has great al dente texture. If you can’t find durum wheat flour, all-purpose will work well, too.
"Kimchi" Chili Sauce
Quick
Recipes
An anchovy fillet and some fish sauce mimic fermented kimchi's slightly funky undertones, but they won't hit you over the head with fishiness (we promise).
Greens with Horseradish–Crème Fraîche Dressing
Recipes
Toasting grains and seeds is a simple move that adds texture and deep flavor to this green salad. The dressing will be milder if you use fresh horseradish, or sharp and a tad spicy if you use prepared.
Ginger-Lime Cauliflower
Vegan
Recipes
The flavors of this dish combine cooling spices (fennel, coriander) with the heat of a jalapeño. Remove the seeds from the pepper if you like things a little less fiery.
Beef Tartare
Recipes
Yes, there are a few recipes within this recipe. But they're simple enough and can be prepared ahead of time, which makes putting the dish together a (relative) breeze.
Chocolate Soufflés
Recipes
You may get six or eight soufflés out of this recipe. Older eggs will create more voluminous whipped whites, meaning more batter. Dry days (as opposed to humid weather) will help make the meringue loftier, too.
Smacked Cucumber Pickles
Recipes
Bruising the cucumbers helps break down their flesh, which is then better able to absorb the flavor of the marinade.
Carrot and Beet Slaw with Pistachios and Raisins
Vegan
Recipes
At Ava Gene's, chef Joshua McFadden always dresses his salads with the acidic components first so the produce can absorb some of those flavors before being coated with oil.
