Easter

Galettes were invented to make amateur bakers feel like pros.

This is an antidote to every side salad that ever was. Instead of meh greens, it’s got shavings of fennel that bend and twist but keep their refreshing crunch.

The salty, springy bread that looks like the surface of a distant planet. Take us there.

We can't stop staring at the layers of bittersweet ganache and buttery caramel.

An appetizer you can have it ready within 10 minutes of walking in the door.

Poaching eggs in advance. A hollandaise that will stay luscious for hours. A tray of perfectly toasted, buttery muffins. Yep—it’s all here.

The ultimate fancy-but-not-too-fancy date night dinner.

Our best recipe for moussaka has layers of eggplant, rich tomato sauce with ground lamb, and a pillowy, bronzed béchamel top. Plus: It can be made ahead.

Green beans! Green asparagus! Green pistachios! ... You get the idea—this salad is a celebration of spring. If you can’t find fava beans, substitute English peas or sugar snap peas instead.

This simple process works for practically any fruit; gauge how much sugar to use based on the fruit’s sweetness, and try cardamom or ginger in place of cinnamon.

These snaggable, snackable wedges have more in common with a bowl of party mix than any perfunctory salad.
