Beans can roll with virtually any flavor profile, including bright fresh citrus, lime juice, and chiles in this wintery salad.
Cheesy Grits With Poached Eggs, Greens, and Bacon
Winter’s answer to the grain bowl, this feels super hearty and satisfying.
Blood Orange–Chia Pudding
Why drink O.J. with your yogurt when you can mix it in?
Yellowtail Crudo With Citrus and Avocado

Gluten-Free Lemon Bars
Everyone loves lemon bars, and now even your gluten-free friends can enjoy them too.
Maple Syrup Candies
If you crave the sweet maple candies sold at tourist shops, you need not wait until your next vacation to enjoy them. Maple syrup producers’ associations are eager to share these treats, and how to make them at home, to spread the gospel of pure maple syrup. This recipe is from the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers Association/Vermont Maple Promotion Board; the Massachusetts Maple Producers Association has produced a helpful video about making maple cream and maple candy. If you haven’t tried these maple candies, be forewarned: They’re like no other treat you’ve ever experienced.

Everyone's favorite bake sale treat goes gluten-free—with ingredients you already have in your pantry.
Prosecco and Raspberry Jelly
Prosecco and jelly: two of my favourite things. And when combined with raspberries, they make a wickedly celebratory concoction. The reason for putting this in the freezer for the first half an hour is to help set the prosecco bubbles in the jelly. It also works very well with cava.
Simple Shrimp, Coconut and Eggplant Curry
This fast one-pot dinner is rich enough to comfort, but light enough that it won’t weigh you down.
Passion Fruit “Crumble”
This is such a sweet little dessert. As you know, I’m not one for sweet treats but this is a little pop of yumminess—perfect for dinner parties, and it won’t leave your guests rolling around on the floor with indigestion.
Citrus-Stuffed Branzini
This dish is one of my favorites for the grill. If a fish comes whole from the store, leave the head and tail on when you cook it, to help retain moisture. The fish is done when the inside of the stomach is dry.
Tadka Dhal
This is probably the most famous lentil dish coming out of India—yellow lentils tempered with spices and the usual holy trinity of garlic, ginger and chile. It has always been a favorite of mine and it would grace our family dinner table at least once a week when I was growing up. There are lots of different recipes for flavoring the oil (tadka), so play around with your spice pantry and see what you come up with. If you don’t have half of these spices, then don’t worry; just add a tablespoon of your favorite spice paste and it will taste just as delicious.
Stir-Fried Black Rice with Fried Egg and Roasted Broccoli
This is the kind of healthy, satisfying food that we all wish would simply materialize at home for dinner. But making it in parts is easier than you might think!

Satisfying enough for winter and light enough for spring, this Spanish-inspired braise is packed with chorizo, chickpeas, and an invigorating splash of Sherry vinegar.
Schmaltz-Refried Pinto Beans
Most store-bought lard (the traditional fat in refried beans) is nearly flavorless, unlike chicken fat, which is delicious and readily available.

Citrus segments get saucy in our play on duck à l’orange.
The Epi-Approved Spaghetti Squash Roasting Method
