KITCHEN SHORTCUTS

One Brand of Macaroni Elbowed Its Way to the Top

FAMILY STYLE • After 20-odd years in the gordita business, the Guerra family is going strong.

Gorditas • We visited Las Cruces, New Mexico, to learn the secrets to these chubby little snacks.

Shashlik • A visit to Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York, inspired our take on this flavorful cousin of kebabs.

Grilled Jerk Chicken • For a dish that packs such a powerful punch, it took some finesse to bring jerk chicken into balance.

Rustic Tomato Tart • Slices of ripe tomato nestled into a buttery, flaky crust? Sounds great, until the liquid in the tomatoes rains on your parade.

Finding the Best Liquid Measuring Cup

Picnic Sandwich • We wanted equal parts delicious and portable.

South Carolina Barbecue Hash • This local favorite requires a leap of faith.

“If you want to find me, you’ll find me.”

Eggplant Pecorino • An updated take on eggplant Parmesan puts the focus back where it belongs.

12 Easy Ice Creams

Nanaimo Bars • Canadians have loved this tri-layer bar cookie for ages. Time to bring it south.

Knife Basics • Before you can learn how to dice an onion with the effortless speed and grace of a master (tip of the toque to Jacques Pépin), you need to know which knives to use and how to care for them.

BRIOCHE Buns and More • One simple dough, three perfect uses.

Hot Buttered Lobster Rolls • Hold the mayo—and the celery. For lobster lovers, a buttered lobster roll doesn’t need ’em.

Corn Salsa • Chiles and char elevate sweet summer corn.

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake • This beautiful retro cake deserved an update—and kicking the can(ned pineapple) was just the start.

Husk-Grilled Corn • A simple two-step grilling process produces the best grilled corn you’ve ever eaten.

Pasta Salad • Brightly seasoned chicken, pasta, cheese, and vegetables—all cooked in one pot for easy cleanup.

Chicken Jardinière • One pot. One chicken. One hour. One darn fine dinner.

Ultimate Hamburgers • These big, bold, special-occasion burgers are worth the work.

Lemon Chicken • The easiest slow-cooker recipe we’ve ever published? Maybe. The best lemon chicken you’ve ever tasted? Definitely.

8-Inch Square Baking Pans • Four key traits set our winning pan apart from all the others.

Sour Cream • Just how sour should sour cream be?

Cultured Dairy in the Kitchen • Cultured dairy is cream and/or milk with friendly live bacteria (cultures) added. The bacteria convert lactose, or milk sugar, into lactic acid, making these products thick and tangy.

Peach-Orange Preserves

“Fried” Ice Cream Cake • Inspired by a beloved midcentury dessert, this cake combines chocolate, cinnamon, and fun.
