Read MoreRed-Chili Cornbread
/
I found this recipe in the NYTimes Magazine which adapted it from Marco Shaw at Eno Restaurant and Market in Durham, NC. This is, quite possibly, my favorite cornbread. Its red-flecked hue and slight kick are totally appealing!

Enormous pizza fans, we adapted this crust recipe from one we found on allrecipes. It's a lovely alternative to the standard white-flour crust.
Read MoreCentraal Sandwich
/
My husband and I lived in Amsterdam the summer we got married. It was the ultimate honeymoon, and we took every opportunity to travel thoughout Europe. On our way to catch the trains from Centraal Station, we always picked up delicious sandwiches from a take-away spot that was en route. These were the best sandwiches I had that summer, in all of Europe, and while I've tried mightily to recreate them, they're just never quite the same. Must be the missing ambience. :)If you prefer oven roasted to sundried tomatoes, simply substitute. As well, roasted turkey is a nice addition.

Read MoreKofta Burgers a la Tom
/
My husband and young sons love the kofta burgers from a local Lebanese restaurant. So, without the recipe, we started working to recreate these burgers at home. Finally we have a version that is a family (and friend) favorite. Allspice is critical so don't go without. And toasting the coriander and cumin seeds for both the sliders and aioli makes a big difference.

Read MoreGrilled Mangos
/
Grilling fruit is such an underrated method of preparation. The heat caramelizes the outer layer of the fruit, and the warmth throughout is a different experience altogether. Grilled peaches and pineapple are also delicious.

This recipe, another Molly Wizenberg winner, results in the most delicious, gooey, not mushy spiced prunes. These are even better the next day, or the next.

Read MoreOur Favorite Meatballs

In 2009, Gourmet published an Italian-American issue. The cover recipe was this one: the most spectacular meatballs ever. This is the sort of recipe that will make you feel like an Italian grandmother; you will mix and shape and fry and simmer for hours. Really, you need to dedicate a half-day to these meatballs and their sauce. But, if you do, you will be rewarded many times over
