Marmalade Souffles (Plus Tips for Making a Perfect Souffle)
Contrary to popular belief, souffles are actually pretty easy to make. You just need to follow a few rules—and not breakdance in the kitchen when they’re in the oven.
Ginger and Maple Glazed Chicken Wings
The humble chicken wing is so cheap—and so satisfying. (Plus, come on: What self-respecting carnivore doesn’t like to gnaw a little meat off the bone every once in a while?)
Orange Pound Cake
Warning: Baking this cake will fill your kitchen with the irresistible smell of oranges. This is a slightly modified version of a recipe I saw recently in Saveur. It’s a buttery pound cake shot through with freshly grated orange zest and soaked with sweet orange syrup.
Roasted Marrow Bones
Roasted marrow bones are a simple, delicious treat that’s surprisingly easy to make at home. Just roast the bones, then scoop the marrow out, spread it on toast, and top it with a little parsley salad. Voila: Instant carnivorous bliss.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies
These brownies are dark, fudgy, and shot through with ribbons of smooth peanut butter—and dotted with bits of molten chocolate. This recipe could feed an army. If you have a strong sense of self preservation, cut the recipe in half and make it in a smaller baking dish.
Easy Baked Tortilla Chips Dusted with Spicy Chipotle Salt
This is like cheating, it’s so easy. In fact, it kind of IS cheating, since I didn’t make the tortillas from scratch. No matter. This is a fast and simple way to make delicious, spicy tortilla chips.
St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake
So here’s the thing. I liked this cake so much that I immediately had to get it out of the house so I didn’t gobble down the entire pan. Find the logic in that, I know.
Roasted Garlic, Three Ways
Now, I like garlic in pretty much all its forms, but roasted garlic has to be one of the best substances on the planet. And making it is one of those ineffable acts of culinary magic.
Mini Meat Loaves
Based on Ina Garten’s fabulous recipe, these meat loaves pack huge comfort-food goodness in a small package. They’re a great thing to serve at a dinner party. I mean, come on: Who wouldn’t love a little meatloaf, made just for them?
Chocolate Cream Pie
I should admit: I have a special spot in my heart for old-fashioned desserts—especially if it’s the kind of thing that you’re likely to find in the spinning dessert case at a 1950s-style diner. This pie totally fits the bill.
