Baked Pasta Primavera

This baked primavera pasta is a celebration of all the best spring produce, with a sauce of white wine, fresh mint, and lemon that lets the veggies be the star.

Coffee Negroni

Coffee (frozen in ice cube form) mingles with the expressive gin and plays gracefully with the orange garnish, the classic finishing flourish to a traditional negroni.

Katsudon

The magic of katsudon happens when the egg and dashi combine to form a loose custard on the bottom, but the egg yolk on the top remains bright orange and jammy.

Tonkatsu

When the pork is sweet and juicy and the panko is fluffy and crisp, tonkatsu is a real treat.

Melon Parfait

The most important part of this melon parfait is the melon jelly made from Piel de Sapo—an intensely fragrant melon—but you can use a similar green or orange melon instead.

This meatloaf skips the classic ketchup and onion and instead gets its flavor from Italian sausage, grated garlic, Parmesan, and mozzarella.

Crispy Orecchiette With Spicy Sausage and Collard Ragù

The reason this pasta is over-the-top fantastic is because you go a final step to crisp up the cooked orecchiette before it goes swimming in spicy sausage ragù.

Chocolate and Orange Marmalade Bars

This ultimate pairing of chocolate and orange features a soft, chocolaty brownie-like layer, a ripple of tart orange marmalade, and a sweet crumb topping.

Rainbow Cookie Loaf Cake

Gimlet

Once prescribed as a medicinal tonic to sailors in the British Royal Navy, this classic cocktail stands the test of time.

Lime Cordial

Homemade lime cordial brightens everything from gimlets to N/A cocktails and beyond.

Buck Buck Mule

What distinguishes this ginger beer cocktail is the addition of fino sherry to dry out the other flavors, and cucumber juice for an additional layer of aromatics.
