Grilled Cheddar and Bacon with Mango Chutney

Rather than breaded and fried as you might expect croquettes to be, these are something more akin to a seared chicken salad patty.

Cabbage is the unsung hero of the winter kitchen—available anywhere, long-lasting in the fridge, and super-affordable. It’s also an excellent partner for pasta.

This summery sheet-pan dinner celebrates the bounty of the season and couldn't be simpler to make. Chorizo plays nicely with the salad, thanks to its spice.

A pinch of sugar in the spice rub ensures picture-perfect grill marks with layers of flavor.

Layer homemade custard, ripe bananas, and vanilla wafers under clouds of whipped cream for this iconic dessert.

Put these out at a gathering, and we guarantee you’ll be hearing rave reviews for a long time.
