Burẹ́dì Ágẹ̀gẹ (Soft Pull-Apart Rolls)

Slightly sweet, plush and tender, this yeast-risen bread is often dipped and dragged through saucy dishes, used as a vessel to deliver food to the mouth. In Lagos, Nigeria, it is known as ágẹ̀gẹ bread, named for the large industrial bakery that relocated to the city of Ágẹ̀gẹ in the 1960s to sell hot loaves to eager commuters. Here, the buns provide a smaller, portable version of the loaf. The dense yet cloudlike bread is dipped in milk tea, sandwiched with akara (fried bean fritters) or served alongside any soup or stew. For this recipe, protein-rich milk powder, along with eggs and cold butter, provide the structure and fat that creates the bread’s signature richness. Kneading, either by hand or using a stand mixer, is also essential for its structure. Any shape pan (round, square or rectangular) that’s 8 to 10 inches in diameter or length can be used here. After the final brushing of softened butter, you can top the warm rolls with flakes of sea salt or a drizzle of honey.

This green beans with bacon and garlic recipe shows you how, with just a couple of steps, to turn canned green beans into a side dish you’ll be proud to serve. Seasoned with fresh thyme sprigs and warmed in chicken broth, they are so flavorful.

Salmon With Farro and Snap Peas

This bowlful of creamy farro, springy greens and lemony salmon is a great example of what to make when the weather is signaling spring, but warmer temperatures might not be here just yet. Plus, it helps justify scooping up all the herbs, spinach and snap peas when the farm stands finally have them. The salmon roasts in the oven, taking care of itself while you do the rest of the prep. A big pot of water is your workhorse here: It boils the farro, blanches the greens and serves as our “pasta water” when it’s time to make everything creamy, so don’t skimp when you fill up the pot the first time. Giving the herbs a quick blanch makes them tender and silky, a good counterpart to the nutty farro. The usual “boil then dunk in ice water” technique for blanching vegetables sounds like a big ask, but this lazy method cools the ingredients with water from the sink instead (feel free to swap in an ice bath if that’s more your style).

Cheesecake from 'Friends'

While the television show "Friends" is set in New York City, Mrs. Braverman’s famous cheesecake—stolen by Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) and Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston)—is from “Mama’s Little Bakery” in Chicago. Chicago-style cheesecakes generally have a softer, creamier, and less dense filling than New York- style cheesecakes. More cream cheese is typically used in Chicago-style, and the crust is often made with shortbread. Here, we matched the "Friends" cheesecake, which specifies a “buttery, crumbly graham cracker crust.”

My Nana's Famous Cheese Spread Had One Ingredient I Never Expected

This flavor-booster is a favorite of grandmas and restaurant chefs, alike—even if you don't want to know it's in there.

Spicy Pork Noodle Soup

Noodles and broth are an ever-compelling combination. This particular union nestles thin ramen or soba noodles into a spicy, porky broth, darkened and deepened with turmeric and cumin. The dish capitalizes on spring's best scallions and sweet snow peas, but succeeds in any season. Come summer, tomatoes or corn could take the place of the snow peas, slipping into the hot broth just before serving. In the cooler months, thinly sliced, frost-bitten winter greens or cabbage are both solid choices.

Charros Corridos (Quick Spicy Bean Soup)

This is a take on classic frijoles charros (cowboy beans), the Northern Mexican bean soup where salchichas, or hot dogs, feature prominently, except that this is for charros who are in a hurry. The soup begins with building a flavorful sautéed base of onion, garlic, serrano and chopped tomato and, if desired, bacon. Finish it with your favorite vinegar-based hot sauce and serve with a side of warm corn tortillas for dipping. Because there are as many recipes for frijoles charros as there are people who make them, feel free to adjust based on just what kind of cowboy beans you’d like. Bulk up your soup by adding chopped dark leafy greens along with the beans, leave out the bacon, or add as much serrano as you want. This soup is designed to be adapted.

Chile Lime Roast Chicken

Cumin, coriander, paprika and oregano lend this roast chicken a warm, herby flavor profile. It’s cooked on a bed of baby potatoes and carrots that soak up the chicken’s drippings. While the chicken and vegetables roast, whip up a butter-based sauce infused with garlic, serranos, lime and cilantro, which provides a punch of brightness and freshness to cut through the richness of the dish. If you have the time, refrigerate the seasoned chicken uncovered for 30 minutes to 24 hours for a more flavorful chicken and extra-crispy skin.

Za’atar Turkey Meatballs With Tahini Yogurt

Creamy tahini-spiked yogurt plays a dual role in these quick baked turkey meatballs: Half is combined with the ground meat and herby, earthy za’atar to ensure that the meatballs are extra juicy and tender, while the rest doubles as a drizzling and dipping sauce. How you choose to serve the duo of meatballs and tahini yogurt is up to you: Stuff them into split pita, serve them over cooked grains like rice or bulgur, or just sit them alongside a pile of garlicky greens.

Best Egg Salad

If you’re ready to make your best egg salad, give this a try. It kicks up the classic a notch; adding bacon and Cheddar is the utmost upgrade for perfect sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or snacking.

Chicken and Pesto Rice With Peas

Pesto is the hero of this simple chicken and rice dish, infusing it with easy herby flavor. Chunks of boneless chicken thighs are browned in the pan, then removed while garlic and onion cook in its rich juices. Next, chicken stock and pesto — either lovingly made from scratch or picked up at the store — are added along with the rice and chicken before going into the oven to bake, resulting in a fusion of schmaltz and herbs. Peas are tossed into the pot once it’s out of the oven, allowing them to steam alongside the rice while maintaining their bite.

Use as much serrano as you’d like or remove the seeds before mincing to suit your tolerance for heat.

One-Pot Orzo and Meatballs

Simplicity astonishes at first bite: Juicy meatballs simmer in a flame-red tomato sauce with an undercurrent of smoky depth and tender bites of orzo. Pimentón, or smoked paprika, a popular ingredient in Spanish cooking, leads the show. Fresh chorizo (or Italian sausage) is rolled into one-ingredient meatballs that finish cooking with the orzo. This recipe takes cues from a Catalan dish of fideos (thin long noodles) with clams in a tomato sauce, and, similarly, the orzo here is toasted to bump up the flavor and retain its bite. Top this with cheese, such as queso fresco, Mahón or Parmesan, to add another level of creaminess.

Coleslaw With Dijon Vinaigrette

Marc-Olivier Frappier developed this coleslaw recipe for Rôtisserie La Lune, in Montreal, hoping to capture the best qualities of two slaws — one vinaigrette-based, the other creamy — served at St-Hubert, the rôtisserie chicken chain omnipresent in Quebec. It’s an unlikely source of inspiration for a chef whose other restaurant, Mon Lapin, is perhaps the most highly regarded restaurant in Canada. But La Lune is an homage to the humble restaurants Quebecois call rôtisseries or barbecues, and coleslaw is an essential rôtisserie dish. Adding the egg yolk means you’re essentially making your own mayonnaise while you’re whisking the dressing. It’s an ingenious trick Mr. Frappier said is common in Quebec.

When eaten together, both hold complex nuances with vigor, each enabling the other to flourish. Throughout Nigeria, streetside vendors sell bags of steamed cassava chunks paired with shards of cracked, skin-on fresh coconut for snacking. Home cooks combine these two ingredients in a variety of cakes, crackers and puddings. Here, small tapioca pearls and coconut milk form a pudding version of this familiar pairing. Lemongrass, makrut lime leaves and spices steep in lightly sweetened coconut milk that infuses the tapioca as it simmers. A finishing splash of coconut cream makes for a brothy pudding. Fresh fruit, lightly toasted coconut flakes and molasses (or any syrup) top the creamy base. This is comfort in a bowl and can be enjoyed any time of the day, especially as a cool, puckery and melodic end to any flavorful meal.

Liberian Stewed Greens Dip With Plantain Chips

A staple vegetable in Liberia, collard greens are cooked in a variety of ways across the West African nation and its vast diaspora. Whole leaves wrap an array of proteins for gentle steaming, and shredded leaves with their stems are added to various soups and stews. Stewed greens are the most popular preparation, known for being robust and deep in flavor with a lot of nuance. This recipe is adapted from Ope Amosu, the chef of Houston’s ChòpnBlok restaurants, who serves the stewed greens as a dip for plantain chips. He combines sturdy greens, bell peppers, onions and prawns with fermented, smoked and dried ingredients. Over a long simmer, the vegetables slowly relax, yielding to the broth and absorbing the surrounding flavors. Serve as a dip for chips or fritters, or alongside xaawash braised lamb shanks, crispy suya-spiced salmon or a starchy swallow.

From December 2025 to January 2026, dujjonku, a portmanteau of “Dubai” and “jjondeuk” (the Korean word for chewy), spread like wildfire in Gimpo, South Korea.

Oven Roasted Peri Peri Chicken and Potatoes

Peri peri (“pili pili” in Swahili) simply translates to “pepper pepper,” but this traditionally grilled chicken dish has much more flavor than heat. It may have been made globally famous by South African and Portuguese restaurants, but peri peri chicken can trace its origins to Mozambique, which was once a Portuguese colony. As its popularity grew across South Africa and Portugal, so did the variations. In this version, chicken thighs are marinated in a classic peri peri marinade of chiles, garlic, lemon and olive oil, then roasted over a bed of sliced potatoes, which soak up the spicy, lemony drippings. Be sure to reserve a little bit of the peri peri sauce to serve on the side.

Tortellini in Frizzled Onion Broth

Tortellini in brodo is a classic Northern Italian dish that translates to tortellini in broth. Borrowing from the concept of stuffed pasta served in a warm, savory broth, this version takes inspiration from French onion soup, while employing a few time-saving techniques. Instead of slowly caramelizing onions until soft and sweet, the base of the broth uses frizzled onions — cooked hard and fast until deeply browned, resulting in a more assertive, oniony flavor. Combined with garlic, mushrooms, a good, drinkable broth and a generous splash of sherry vinegar, it makes for an umami-forward soup that tastes like it took much longer to make. All that’s left to do is quickly cook some premade tortellini directly in it.
