European

Old-School Tiramisu

This classic-done-right is moist but not wet, extra-fluffy, boozy but not overwhelmingly so, and made with real coffee instead of espresso powder.

BA's Best Risotto

Risotto is like a clingy baby. And if you give it all of your patient attention, it will turn into a puddle of love.

Basically Skillet Lasagna

Finally: an easy, cheesy, vegetarian(!) lasagna recipe that doesn't require you to dirty every pot and pan in your kitchen.

Basically Croque Monsieur

Like a hot ham and cheese sandwich, but slathered with cream sauce and baked to bubbly perfection. (Yeah, it's as good as it sounds.)

Simple Ribollita

This (vegetarian!) Italian classic is about as comforting as it gets, packed with hearty greens, meaty beans, and plenty of rich olive oil and umami-packed Parm.

BA's Best Bolognese

It doesn’t take a lot of ingredients (or a lot of money) to make a classic Bolognese recipe. What it does take, though, is patience!

Savory Cheese-Filled Croquembouche

This croquembouche is constructed with cheesy gougères and an herbed cheese filling. It’s the showstopping holiday appetizer you didn’t know you needed.

Pasta e Fagioli

The key to a soup with fully developed savory flavor starts with the soffritto—a mix of slowly cooked aromatic vegetables.

Maiale al Latte (Milk-Braised Pork)

This traditional Italian braised pork roast may not be one of the most photogenic dishes you’ll ever make, but it sure is one of the tastiest.

Chorizo and Potato Stew

This is the hearty, rustic, and deeply warming comfort food you'll be craving on all snowy days.

Bigos (Hunter’s Stew)

This Polish hunter’s stew features kielbasa, smoky bacon, melty cabbage, and lots of delicious broth that can be sopped up with bread.

Herby Pasta With Garlic and Green Olives

An herb-laced riff on aglio e olio, quick and easy.

Basically Pasta Pomodoro

Almost as easy as opening a can of the store-bought stuff, and one hundred times more delicious.

Roasted Pepper Caprese

The hands-off approach for this summery caprese recipe means no blistering the peppers on the stovetop!

Summer Salmon Niçoise

We love a classic Niçoise salad made with fancy oil-packed tuna, but using warm, slow-roasted salmon instead makes the whole thing feel a little more special.

Spicy Grapefruit Shandy

This sweet-tangy mixture transforms even the cheapest beer into a refreshing party-worthy cocktail.

Easy Blueberry Cream Scones

Think of these scones as the easier, cooler cousin of the blueberry muffin.

Rosé All Day Sangria

We like to think of this refreshing sangria as spa water but with a little buzz!

Easy Vegetarian Calzones

Starting with store-bought pizza dough makes the dream of weeknight calzones actually attainable.

Low-Commitment Wedding Soup

This recipe takes all the right shortcuts and none of the wrong ones.
