Boiling lobsters robs them of their sweet, briny flavor. Instead, steam them with this easy method.

Toast to a new year, a new you, or just another Tuesday with lychee punch, a low-ABV kombucha spritz, or a bubbly sbagliato.

Rule number one: Assemble, don’t cook.

Like caramel-pecan shortbread, chocolate sablés that melt on the tongue, jam-swirled pinwheels, and more.

Serve your mashed potatoes with brisket bourguignon, your green beans with pumpkin-cheddar strata—or (scandal!) skip the “traditional” holiday trimmings altogether.

Anchovy butter spaghetti, sardines on toast, and a proudly lazy Caesar.

Mango cheesecake bars, a berry-studded icebox cake, chocolate coconut pudding, and more.

With three times the fruit flavor, this is the only strawberry cheesecake recipe you’ll ever need.

Wondering what to do with that tub of ricotta? The answer is anything.

They’re crusty, they’re juicy, they’re easy—some of them are even savory.

Cake is always a good gift—and cookies and tarts and meringues too.

Honestly, is there anything more impressive for a holiday?

The season’s diamond? Rhubarb, obviously.

Lamb wants to weeknight too. Try these smoky kebabs, tender meatballs, and juicy burgers.

From party-ready confetti cake to black sesame mochi cake, this collection has a birthday cake as special as you.

Give the classic cucumber sandwich an herbaceous punch with a lemony cilantro-jalapeño chutney.

With a generous layer of caramelized onions and plenty of sharp Gruyère cheese, this party-ready tart packs the rich depth of French onion soup into every bite.

All the oversized fun of a 6-foot deli sub, but with DIY bragging rights. Bonus: The pork shoulder can be made in advance.

A delightful large-format blend of lychees, gin, elderflower, and citrus perfect for festive gatherings like Lunar New Year.

Warning: This list might make your bottle of gin disappear.
