Whether you’re hosting brunch, bringing something to a spring picnic, or just craving a nostalgic snack, deviled eggs always deliver. Creamy, tangy, and endlessly riffable, they’re the kind of thing people reach for before even asking what’s in them. F…
After a satisfying Easter brunch or dinner packed with roasted lamb, glazed ham, and all your favorite spring sides, the kids will likely steal away to a corner of the house, peeling open piece after piece of candy. But what about dessert for the gro…
Lamb is one of the most flavorful meats you can cook. Whether it’s a slow-braised lamb shank, a roasted leg, or pan-seared lamb chops, it’s great on it’s own. But, the right side dishes can also balance its richness, from bright citrusy salads to cream…
One thing we’re absolutely doing to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? Sipping on an Irish coffee. Ideally with a slice of cake in the same flavor. And if you didn’t know that was an option, don’t worry—now you do.
Skip the crowded bars and make something f…
Welcome to Off the Eaten Path, a series where our Test Kitchen creator Noah Tanen dives deep into regional recipes. Next up? Tomato Pie.
For fanatics of regional pizza styles, tomato pie can be a bit of a hard sell. Seldom found in the case at an ac…
I cannot escape dates. My entire social media feed consists of date recipes both sweet and savory, and I must admit, I have become obsessed. Apart from using date syrup in my coffee nearly every day, I probably consume 2-3 dates on a daily basis becaus…
Horror movies or anything remotely scary—especially body horrors—are not my thing, so when it came to The Substance, I was more than reluctant to watch it. What I do love though, are actresses Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, so while I may have skippe…
Let’s start with something we can all agree on: This cake, one that’s gooey in the middle and beyond sweet, is magically irresistible. If only we could all align on a name. You may have heard it called Neiman Marcus cake, gooey butter cake, or chess ba…
It wasn’t too long ago that I got massive heat on the internet for using marshmallow fluff in a fun little beverage. Funny enough, marshmallows, to an extent, are trending again. But this time, it’s homemade marshmallows using marshmallow root and hone…

One of my favorite things to do is recreate famous or popular recipes, and living in NYC, I never run out of inspiration. My Instagram feed constantly teases me with stunning desserts, and if you live here, chances are you’ve heard of the devil’s food …
If you’ve noticed rising egg and chicken prices (even Waffle House is tacking on 50-cent surcharges because of shortages) or read one too many stories on bird flu, you might find yourself looking for egg and poultry alternatives these days.
Or maybe y…
One of my strongest food memories from childhood is the endless pancakes we ate—for breakfast, lunch, fika, and sometimes even dinner. No matter how often my mom made them, they always felt like a treat. As we sat around the table, she kept them coming…
One of my favorite things about baking is feeding people and sharing my desserts. While the hungry crowd in our office eagerly devours every last crumb that comes out of the Test Kitchen (unless it’s not good, which I must admit, sometimes happens), th…
If there’s one thing I was put on the this earth to do, it’s to assure you that shareable dips do not have to be savory. Forget the Buffalo chicken and French onion and think about your favorite dessert—but in dip form. The internet has recently redisc…
I won’t argue with a classic Buffalo wing. I adore them, and they’re high on my list of priorities when it comes to the ideal Super Bowl spread. However, that means I’m buying a large bottle of Franks RedHot, which then languishes on my condiment shel…
There’s only one football fan in my household, and as much as I’ve tried (which isn’t much), it’s not me. But while I can’t bring much excitement to the game, I can at least bring a good snack.

Not that anyone needs an excuse to drink hot chocolate in January, but if you’re looking for one, National Hot Chocolate Day is officially on January 31 (not sure who the officials are to be honest, but we’re not complaining!). It makes perfect sense t…
