There are many casseroles that shine on Thanksgiving, but for me, the holiday isn’t complete without sweet potato casserole. No offense, marshmallows, but I will always go back to this recipe, all thanks to the topping. The buttery pecan topping is still plenty sweet (thanks to the brown sugar), but not enough to make it …
If you want to impress your family and friends with a showstopping dessert this holiday season, look no further than this cranberry crinkle tart. Golden layers of crispy phyllo pastry are soaked with sweet orange custard, filled with cranberry sauce, and brushed with a glistening simple syrup for a stunning dessert centerpiece that’s as beautiful …
It’s always hard to gauge how much food to make for a crowd, especially on a food-centric holiday like Thanksgiving. Personally, I’d rather make way too much than run out, so I often have quite a bit of food left over. Some are easy to repurpose, but others, like mashed potatoes, require a little extra …
I can’t claim to have come up with this idea on my own, but when you are writing a weekly recipe column (as I used to), your antennae are always out. This was one idea I saw around, and I am sorry that I can’t credit the person who came up with it, because it …
I make variations of stir-fried mushrooms and tofu with noodles (or rice) all the time, but this one, topped with a homemade peanut chilli crisp oil, has gone straight to the top of my repertoire. And the chilli oil couldn’t be easier to make, plus there’s enough to stash in the fridge for the week …

At the end of every holiday season, I’m left with a bag of frozen cranberries and not the slightest clue what to do with them. Everyone is tired of cranberry sauce, I can’t stomach another baked good, and I’m in desperate need of the freezer space to accommodate the surplus of leftovers. This recipe offers …
There is a unique comfort in the dishes we call classics, recipes that bring a sense of familiarity while leaving space for reinvention. British cooking is full of such touchstones, of dishes that feel timeless, yet that also respond beautifully to a fresh approach. I love exploring that balance, keeping the heart of a dish …
Beer and cheese, two ingredients that don’t immediately scream soup to much of the world, are the cornerstones of one such midwestern speciality, particularly beloved in Wisconsin, with its prominent dairy and brewing industries. Beer soups are also found from Alsace to Russia (and, indeed, Wisconsin has a significant northern European heritage population). The cheese, …
A confession: I have already written a recipe for massaman curry. But since that was published in 2018, I have had a baby, a breakdown, travelled back to Thailand and eaten more massaman curries, all events that have contributed to this new recipe. The old dish is delicious, but in 2025 I didn’t want to …
