Freekeh Salad with Chicken and Kale
If you can't find freekeh, use another whole grain, like spelt or rye berries.
Darkest Chocolate Cake With Red Wine Glaze
The plummy-berry notes of red wine are highlighted when mixed with chocolate and butter into a glaze that drips over the edges of this decadent dark chocolate cake.
Glazed Chocolate–Crème Fraîche Cookies
Otherwise known as the triple-threat chocolate cookie: melted, chopped, and drizzled. You're welcome.
Pies-N-Thighs Biscuits
To make ahead, freeze the cutout biscuits in plastic bags. Bake frozen, increasing cooking time to 45–55 minutes.
Salted Peanut Butter and Jelly Blondies
These are really peanut buttery and not too sweet, so the strawberry jam on top is a perfect complement.

Shaved Kohlrabi with Apple and Hazelnuts
A version of this salad has been on Estela's menu since its opening; Mattos has tried it with summer squash and apples in place of the kohlrabi. In any case, make sure not to cut your slices too thin—they need to stand up to the nuts and cheese.

Drop-Biscuit Pear and Dried Cherry Cobbler
Not a big baker? This dessert is for you. The simple topping can be made in one bowl and results in an airy, tender biscuit no matter your skill level.
Dark Chocolate Waffles
With a cocoa-infused batter and chopped chocolate stirred throughout, these indulgent waffles are just the thing to make any morning feel special.
Seared Salmon with Winter Vegetables and Kombu Broth
This light but richly flavored broth is good with any fatty, skin-on fish fillet, such as Arctic char or sea bass.

Chicken and Dumplings With Mushrooms
Our favorite Dutch oven is heavy-duty, big enough for any stew, and handsome enough to put on the table.

Spiced Sweet Potato and Roasted Broccoli Toasts
The broccoli can be cooked early in the day, but toast the bread just before assembling so it doesn't dry out.
