Grilled Sliced Brisket

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

An espresso-and-cumin-spiked rub (or brine) gives this smoked chicken impressive flavor.

An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.

This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.

Every sauce needs a few secrets. Ours is smoky, sweet, and savory—use it for burgers, fries, tenders, and more.

A slow-simmering, comforting braise delivering healing to both body and soul.

Serve these as you would falafel: in a pita, on top of a salad, or as a snack with a dip.

Give your favorite breakfast sausage a makeover with ground chicken. A blend of spices (fennel, smoked paprika) and some maple syrup makes these patties shine.
