These hasselback potatoes are crispy in places, but still soft and buttery at their core, thanks to the increased surface area open to the oven’s heat. You can line up two knives on both sides of the potato to ensure you don’t slice all the way through. Cooking the garlic in the bacon fat adds extra flavor. Any potato will do, not just red potatoes.

A meat thermometer is a great way to get used to what the breast looks and feels like when done, so you can learn to not over-cook it. Another reason chicken breast rules the roost? It gives you such huge hunks of meat undisturbed by bone and ligaments. Finicky bird eaters especially love this aspect.

And, it doesn’t hit you hard with a burst of energy and then a crash, like coffee can do. It’s more of a long, slow influx of energy. A little goes a long way. Almond milk activates the nutrients in matcha. Don’t use cow’s milk because it negates matcha’s nutrients. Raspberries provide a sweetness to contrast the bitterness of the green tea powder, and black sesame seeds give a nice, crunchy texture and color. If you’re in a rush in the mornings like we are sometimes, this Matcha Muffin recipe is a great, portable idea for when you have to take breakfast to work. So are these Cherry Power Bars, which have enough oats, nuts, and flaxseed meal to carry you through the morning. With only a half cup of brown sugar for a dozen of these Oatmeal Raisin Muffins, you’ve got a simple way to carry your bowl of oats and fruit to the office, with no spillage worries.","Total: 30 mins", 269,"2017-11-07 05:28:24","Tuna Poke","How did an everyday Hawaiian fisherman’s lunch turn into the trendiest “it” dish of the year?

Most recently, they worked worked together as executive chef and chef de cuisine at Quality Italian. Tacinelli, a veteran of Quality Meats, owes his passion for cooking to his Italian-American grandparents, while Rito spent her youth working at her family’s Italian bakery and has worked for a number of NYC restaurants including Torrisi Italian Specialties. What to buy: Calasparra is short-grain rice from the region around Valencia in Spain, paella capital of the world. Like its cousin, Bomba, Calasparra rice can absorb large amounts of liquid and remain distinct and firm.

It’s a deceptively simple layering of textures and flavors: a soft flour tortilla wrapped around seasoned ground chicken, sour cream, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, and the thing that makes it crunch: a crispy corn tostada shell. It’s a thing that has to be eaten straight from the pan (10 minutes out of the pan, the crispy tostada layer is no longer, well, crispy). Serve it a party where everybody’s standing around the range, and you can cook in multiple batches (with lots of helping hands to aid with the layering and rolling). You can give everybody their own, or cut in two (if you try and go smaller than that, everything tends to fall out).

You start by making a simple caramel (sugar and water, cooked until golden brown and syrupy). Then, separately, you melt shallots and garlic, add cubed pork belly and cook until lightly seared. Add Asian fish sauce for umami richness and seasoning, then the caramel. Once braised, these rich, tender cubes of pork are the heart of these crunchy, slightly spicy, and baguette-crispy little sandwiches.

You need to start with dried chickpeas for this recipe, soaked in plenty of cold water for 24 hours (remember to plan accordingly!). Serve with our Tzatziki Sauce and/or Easy Hummus.

Canned black beans and roasted eggplant deliver an umami-rich punch of flavor, fleshed out with garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and coriander. The beans provide texture and the eggplant, its natural sugars caramelized by roasting, adds richness. If you’re really ambitious, consider making our Hamburger Buns and Homemade Mayonnaise.

You begin by making a flaky all-butter tart shell, using the French technique known as fraisage. After lining a rectangular tart pan with the crust and pre-baking it, you make the filling, a simple blend of ricotta, eggs, and Parmesan cheese. Add this to the pastry shell along with the whole asparagus and bake until set. Special equipment: You’ll need a 7-inch-by-11-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable base for this recipe.

This simple puréed soup takes full advantage of the season’s first delicate harvest. You begin by softening onion and a clove of garlic in butter, then adding chopped asparagus. Once hot, add chicken broth (to keep this vegetarian, substitute veggie stock or even plain water), simmer till the asparagus is very soft, then purée in the blender and enrich with crème fraîche. Salt, pepper, and lemon juice are all it needs to taste fresh and bright. For more, check out our White Asparagus Soup with Pistachios, Green Pea Soup, and Celery Root Soup.

When these boxes are gone, you have to wait another year—unless you make your own. This recipe lets you replicate the peanut butter oatmeal goodness of the Girl Scouts’ Do-Si-Do sandwich cookies, no matter what time of the year it is. Our version is larger than the Girl Scout classics (bigger cookie, bigger peanut butter taste!).

This combination of dark chocolate cookie and semisweet coating—our take on a Girl Scout Thin Mint—is a year-round affair. Delicious at room temperature, these crisp, luxuriously chocolaty cookies are arguably better straight from the freezer. Special equipment: You’ll need a good kitchen scale and a special chocolate tempering thermometer. What to buy: For this recipe, we preferred the pure minty flavor of peppermint oil rather than peppermint extract, which has a slightly chemical aftertaste. Peppermint oil can purchased at many nutrition stores or online. Professional pastry chefs use a type of chocolate known as couverture, which sets up nicely because it contains more cocoa butter than regular chocolate. The only trick is, you need to temper it. For this recipe, we used El Rey 58.5 percent dark chocolate Discos; they can be found at many specialty grocery stores or online. In our experience, it’s best to avoid tempering chocolate on a hot day or in an aggressively air-conditioned space. Chocolate behaves best at a room temperature between the mid-60s and low 70s Fahrenheit. Also, chocolate stays in temper for only a short time, so have everything ready to go and work quickly. Make-ahead note: The cookies can be baked up to 24 hours in advance and stored in an airtight container until ready to coat.

Our recipe came to us via ex–Gramercy Tavern managing partner (and author) Nick Mautone. It’s a subtle twist on a classic, especially if you use brown instead of white sugar. Named after a piece of World War I–era artillery, the French 75 was originally made with gin (see the video on this page with Charlotte Voisey making that version). Over time it became more popular with brandy (specifically Cognac) as the fortifying spirit. Pair it with one of our Valentine’s Day recipes for a cozy night in.

If you’re into brunch cocktails, the Brown Derby is perfect: tart enough to wake up the palate, but not tangy enough to jolt you. The bourbon, naturally, softens the edges of even a harsh start to the day.

Bénédictine D.O.M., an ancient herbal liqueur originally made by monks and infused with a long, secret formula of aromatics, tempers rye whiskey with just the right amount of sweetness and mystery. The lemon-peel garnish adds a subtle blast of freshness. If you add a squeeze of lemon juice, too, this becomes a Frisco Sour (bourbon, rather than rye, might be the better liquor option in that case, since bourbon registers on the palate as slightly sweeter).

The key is using challah bread, cut thick and slit to create a pocket in the center of each slice. Fill that pocket with chocolate-hazelnut spread, and make French toast in the usual way. The result is warm, soft, and slightly crisp slices oozing deliciousness.

It’s now a solidly Italian-American dish: boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded to a uniform thinness, dredged in seasoned flour, and pan fried. You make a sauce in the same pan, after removing the chicken, with prosciutto, mushrooms, Marsala, and chicken stock, whisking butter in just before serving.

The convenience and ease of a slow cooker enhances the aromatic flavors of Sichuan cooking by allowing the chicken to braise in a complex sweet and spicy sauce. It calls for Sichuan peppercorns, or Chinese coriander, a spice with slightly lemony overtones. For years, the Sichuan peppercorn was banned in the U.S., but now it’s easily found in Chinese markets and at Whole Foods. Our version omits the vegetables and allows the Sichuan peppercorns and chile peppers to shine, in a less-Americanized version that’ll make it hard to go back to takeout. Serve with steamed white or brown rice.","Total: 4 hrs 15 mins", 325,"2017-11-07 05:45:27","No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies","These rich, chewy cookies contain no wheat flour or eggs, and—good news on sweltering days when you feel like having cookies around the house—require no oven heat. All you do is boil milk with unsalted butter and sugar to add to a mix of old-fashioned oats, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and vanilla. Mix, then form into cookies on waxed paper–lined baking sheets. Chill until the cookies set up, then gorge.

The twist here is smoked salmon as a stand-in for ham, yielding a splurge-y brunch dish with a hint of lox and bagels. Hollandaise sauce can seem a little tricky (if you don’t add the warm clarified butter slowly enough, the whole thing can separate), but take a deep breath, avoid over-caffeinating to keep your hand steady, and you’ll be fine.

You start by combining orange liqueur, anise-flavored Pernod, bay, orange zest, and allspice berries with a little sugar, and cooking to form a simple syrup. Strained and chilled, this forms the basis of this drink, topped off with sparkling wine.
