Samantha Seneviratne, author of the new cookbook Bake Smart: Sweets and Secrets from My Oven to Yours, believes that canned fruit might not deserve the not-so-stellar reputation it often gets. “We’ve all been advocating for the use of frozen fruit when…

If you’ve ever been in the mood to bake but haven’t been sure what type of project to tackle, there’s a good chance you landed on a loaf cake or quick bread. Why? They’re sort of the ultimate last-minute baking project. They usually don’t require any s…
Here at Food52, we lean on our Residents—a group of cooks, chefs, and experts who contribute to our site—for cooking tips on a daily basis, and Thanksgiving is no exception. Over the years, our Residents have churned out countless recipes perfect for t…
Gluten-free baking often gets a bad rap, but that doesn’t need to be the case. By using alternative flours, grains, and starches, you can get results similar to those in traditional, wheat-based recipes—but even better is using these ingredients to ach…
“I was always taught that good risotto starts with high-quality bone broth, but what if I don’t want to spend twenty bucks on dinner?” asks Sohla El-Waylly in her just-published, debut cookbook, Start Here: Instructions for Becoming a Better Cook.

Looking at October’s new recipes, it’s clear that baking season is in full swing: Three of the five recipes that we published this month are for baking projects—a proportion we likely wouldn’t have seen just a month or two ago. It’s clear that it was also a month for bold, dynamic flavors. Think: focaccia doused with a spicy, earthy coffee-chili crisp, big plate chicken that’s been “turbo-charged,” and pots de crème flavored with a winning combination of chocolate and hazelnuts. Without further ado, here are five new recipes we published in October.
These individual pots de crème are ideal for all the fall and winter dinner parties you have coming up—but it’s the orange-scented hazelnut brittle that really steals the show.
Let’s get this out of the way: I’m not vegan. I never have been, and I probably never will be. But as I started sifting through recipes to make this week, I noticed quite a few dairy- and meat-free options in the mix. I’m not entirely sure what’s gotten into me (I rarely eat a meal that doesn’t include seafood, dairy, or eggs), but I decided to lean into it and pick five all-vegan recipes for this round of weeknight dinners. Here’s what I’ll be making.
Last week, I wrote about Lucas Sin’s technique for cooking mushrooms by boiling them in water. It goes against every rule I thought I knew about working with mushrooms, and I’m completely intrigued.
There’s something Lucas Sin wants you to know: Water and mushrooms aren’t enemies.
“A lot of us have been told that when you process your mushrooms—when you cook them—they’re not allowed to touch a single drop of water,” says Lucas in a recent episode …
We’ve all seen them on social media: packed platters and wooden boards filled with perfectly layered wedges of cheese, neat piles of fruit and nuts, and slices of salami that have—somehow—been artfully molded into the shape of a rose. Known interchange…
Sifting through the internet’s near-infinite supply of Thanksgiving recipes is an impossible task. At a certain point, trying to find the best recipe for turkey, pumpkin pie, or stuffing will stop you from enjoying the holiday and all the very good—eve…
Thanksgiving is great, but I’d argue that Friendsgiving is really where it’s at. Thanksgiving celebrations can sometimes feel stuffy and beholden to old traditions, whereas Friendsgiving is, at its core, just an excuse to host an epic, themed dinner pa…
Take a peek at your spice cabinet: If it’s anything like mine, you’ve got a mix of plastic and glass jars, and maybe a few pouches here and there, too. All of them are from different retailers, ranging from the nearby dollar store to Kalustyan’s, and t…
Erin Jeanne McDowell, baking expert and Food52 Resident, is no stranger to making pies. She’s written a whole book on the subject (called, literally, The Book on Pie), graced our

Grocery shopping is, by far, my favorite chore. Especially when I technically already have enough food at home, leaving me to browse the aisles purely for fun. However, it’s sadly not a hobby I can always indulge in. At the moment, my kitchen/pantry/fr…
We’ve teamed up with Le Creuset to share our favorite no-fuss, one-pot technique for the crispiest, juiciest roast chicken. Psst: We’ve got other ideas for cooking in their signature Dutch oven, too.
There are two things we look for in a roast chick…
Winter is the perfect time to throw a dinner party, but the reality of coming up with a menu can admittedly be daunting. With a little planning, though, you can be certain that the night will be a success. The secret? Don’t leave everything to the day …

“The smell of freshly ground cardamom is strong and pungent, and it reminds me of eucalyptus or menthol,” said Nichole Accettola, whose new book, Scandinavian From Scratch: A Love Letter to the Baking of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, hit shelves this we…
There’s a lot to love about Christmas, but it’s hard to beat the holiday’s extensive—and beloved—dessert selection. Of course, any sweet can qualify as a Christmas dessert, but there are certain flavors and confections we find ourselves especially draw…

September is a period of transition, and the month’s most popular recipes surely reflect that. Summery dishes—like Botanica’s Tomato Tonnato—sit alongside cozy, fall-ready meals, like Mandy Lee’s Korean Rice Cake “Lasagna,” or Chicken-Fried Mushroom St…
chocolate chip cookies are a highly personal thing, and what I’m not here to do is tell you that my ideal version is better than any others. Personally, I gravitate towards cookies that are made with browned butter, lots of salt, and feature crispy edg…
As home cooks, we at Food52 think a lot about grocery shopping—which types of produce we’re gravitating towards, what ingredients we’re willing to splurge on, and (perhaps most importantly) which pantry staples we lean on each and every day. The answer…
