Herbs & Spices

This homemade shrimp cocktail gets dressed up with classic cocktail sauce—plus two other optional sauces that'll really make it a party.

Nutty marinated cucumbers are paired with curly coiled scallions in this refreshing salad.

This easy blender béarnaise sauce stems from classic creamy hollandaise. A combination of vinegar, lemon juice, and tarragon gives it a bit of bright, fresh flavor.

Cinnamon and brown sugar bring warm flavor to this puffy, large-format apple pancake.

The classic combination of grilled chicken and bottled ranch gets a summer glow-up in this barbecue-ready salad.

This riff on panzanella pulls inspiration from memories of picking cherry tomatoes off the vine and running inside to dip them into a bowl of ranch.

Pick any pickle you want—or a mix of dill pickles, cocktail onions, capers, pickled green beans, cornichons, and hot cherry peppers—for this creamy, tangy dressing.

This salad is refreshing and light, but bursting with punchy flavors of lemongrass and fish sauce, and the sweet, caramel tones of coconut sugar.

Tossed with the lemongrass dressing, the sweet-and-sour flavors swim into the cut edges of the smoky brussels sprouts.

Citrusy, perfumed, and utterly delicious, this lemongrass dressing works as a marinade for chicken and a heavenly dressing for salads or roasted vegetables.

The Hot Lips is a spicy, citrusy tequila drink that's stirred, not shaken.

The Prizefighter No. 1 is a bold sour made with lemon, Fernet-Branca, and Carpano Antica sweet vermouth. 

Mezcal and bourbon meet pineapple and cinnamon in this bar-worthy cocktail. Serve with a flaming presentation, or leave the pyrotechnics to the professionals.

Far less dense (and far more flavorful) than a traditional pound cake, the Philly fluff cake is known for its ethereally light, fluffy texture.

While there’s no wrong way to toast New Orleans, the Sazerac, a boozy combination of bitters, anise liqueur, and a whole lot of whiskey seems awfully right.

This classic Italian bread and tomato salad makes an ideal summertime side dish.

Crispy baked quinoa builds texture in this summer salad, tossed with a charred, herbaceous scallion dressing.

Nothing hits harder on a hot day than this nonalcoholic frappé: ruby strawberries, herbaceous basil, and tangy pineapple will quench your thirst. 

This soda shop classic helps maple and vanilla shine.
