Our idea of magic mushrooms is crisp, golden (legal) substances with the power to lend a bass note of flavor to grain salads, turn a piece of ricotta toast into a meal, or stand alone as a savory side. Food Director Carla Lalli Music likes to sear a variety of mushrooms together with thyme, butter, and garlic, paired with herbed polenta.

No tailgating party is complete without Buffalo wings. Two key steps ensure extra-crisp wings: letting them sit at room temperature evens the cooking time, and the cornstarch dredge transforms into a crunchy shell when fried. If you like your wing sauce super spicy, increase the amount of cayenne.

The sauce is bright yellow from fresh eggs, and each bucatini hides cubes of fatty guanciale. This yolk-heavy recipe is beyond creamy—without cream!—with black peppercorns. It's unlike any clumpy carbonaras you've had. The tricks? Omitting most of the egg whites; their water thins the sauce. It's a pasta worth mastering.

We urge you: don’t skip the marinade step—it really gives the shrimp lots of garlicky flavor and sets this apart from other scampi recipes.

Loving meatballs has never been this rewarding. They’re gilded with lots of strong spices and set in a cooling swoosh of yogurt and anointed with the sweet brightness of a mint pesto. Sound fancy? Not really. Andy uses ground lamb, which is naturally fatty and can be baked without sacrificing juiciness or a charred crust.

This dish is for when a 3 p.m. hang turns into a dinner party or when you’ve had too long of a day at work. But just because it’s comfort food doesn’t mean there aren’t techniques.

Andy makes ratatouille even though he has never seen the movie Ratatouille.

Ground chuck is a great all-purpose, buy-it-anywhere choice for burgers. But if you want to get ambitious and blend, say, chuck with ground short rib or brisket, we say go for it.

Springy ramen noodles and a cilantro-miso sauce bring a welcome twist to a classic pesto recipe. And the noodles are just a vessel for the savory, gingery, simple weeknight sauce.

We’re throwing this pantry pasta all-star a “Welcome to Summer” party with peas and mint. This dish was inspired by Rolf and Daughters in Nashville, where chef Philip Krajeck makes a fermented pasta cloaked in a tangy whey and butter sauce. We use store-bought buttermilk to mimic whey’s acidic flavor. It’s a perfect foil for the rich butter and cheese in this glossy sauce.

Juice lemons. Spoon out capers. Heat pan. Cook scallops. Make sauce in same pan. Serve.

This charred scallion sauce is an ode to the classic French dish of leeks in vinaigrette, swapping out the leeks for tender charred scallions. It acts as a bright, addictive condiment for this quick-cooking cut of steak. If you can’t find hanger steak, skirt steak works for this recipe—adjust cook time accordingly. The sauce also pairs well with roast chicken, pork chops...we could do this all day.

Fire up the grill and let's make some wings! The Test Kitchen's Carla Music grills up some marinated chicken wings with shishito peppers. Word to the wise: shishito peppers aren't spicy.... other than the very occasional one that may melt your tongue, but they're worth it!

Eating an ice cream sandwich can make you feel like a kid again. But if you’ve ever tried making one at home, you know it’s not as easy as 1-2-3. The Test Kitchen's Claire Saffitz shows you how to make delicious ice cream sandwiches, using homemade cookies and store-bought ice cream.

Learn how to grill salmon with the Test Kitchen's Andy! For this lemony grilled salmon recipe, you absolutely want to cook fish that still has its skin on. It protects the fish while it grills and, despite what you think or have been told, will help it release from the grill grates more easily.

Claire shows you how to make a pasta salad that's perfect to make during peak tomato season! The reason this pasta salad holds up so well at room temperature is because you dress it twice. It absorbs the first round of dressing completely, the second addition keeps it glossy, and a fistful of walnuts and breadcrumbs means there’s always something to bite into.

The world-famous Brad Leone makes BA's best piña coladas - just be careful, they may be sweet and delicious but they pack a punch. Freezing fresh pineapple definitely makes the best impact flavor-wise in this piña colada recipe, but you can use 8 oz. frozen pineapple if you wish.

Before you convince yourself there's no way that a little onion, tomato paste, and half-and-half can come together in mere minutes to make one of the best homemade pasta sauces you've ever had, hear us out.

This grilled chicken sandwich recipe (thighs only!) gets the BA treatment from senior associate food editor Molly Baz. The goal was to dispel any associations you might have with the sandwich: the sort of floppy, slightly rubbery fast food versions with a single, soggy leaf of lettuce. It's inspired by Caesar salad, inspired by mayonnaise, inspired by the idea of special sauce, inspired by grill marks, and the words “charred buns.”

Contributing writer Priya Krishna makes her From the Test Kitchen debut with Dahi Toast, \"a more interesting, Indian-ish grilled cheese sandwich,\" made with Greek yogurt and sourdough bread. Just one thing: don't skip the Chhonk.

Join Carla in the Test Kitchen as she makes Instant Pot ribs. Pressure-cooking the ribs for a mere nine minutes makes them completely tender and succulent, but the meat won’t be quite at the stage where it slumps right off the bone. We think they’re the perfect texture for picking up and eating with your hands, with just the right amount of chew. After that, they spend ten minutes on a hot grill to get crisped up and glazed with a punchy hot-and sour-sauce. Play your cards right and you’ll be grilling on a weeknight.

Rick Martinez is back in the Test Kitchen to make double-pork carnitas with corn tortillas and green pico de gallo. That's right, these carnitas use two kinds of pork (shoulder and belly) because one is definitely not enough.

Join Carla in the Test Kitchen as she makes an apple tart! This unadorned tart bakes at a fairly high temperature and boasts a deeply browned crisp crust. The apples at the bottom of the tart are insulated from direct heat, so they steam and soften into a very tender layer. The ones up top hold their shape, which means you’ll get a mix of textures in each bite.

Join Rick Martinez in the Test Kitchen as he makes classic chilaquiles, the ultimate use-all-your-leftovers breakfast meal.

Join Rick in the Test Kitchen as he makes toffee cookies! Using chocolate wafers instead of chips is a cookie game-changer. They spread as they melt, creating thin pockets of chocolate in each layer, and stay much softer at room temperature.

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen to get tipsy as he makes a hibiscus pineapple cocktail with tequila. You'll love the citrusy sour flavor of hibiscus, not to mention its amazing color.

Join Carla in the Test Kitchen as she make pasta e fagioli! The key to a soup with fully developed savory flavor starts with the soffritto—a mix of aromatic vegetables that are slowly cooked in the first stage of cooking. Take your time sweating down the vegetables until they are completely softened before letting them take on any color. You’ll be surprised by how much volume they lose and how much liquid they release and by how much unquantifiable richness they lend to the final dish, which is nothing more than a combination of humble ingredients.

Drag Queen and pickle expert Miz Cracker is back in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen AGAIN. This time Carla teaches her how to make pickles and what her family calls 'friendly sandwiches,' a pickle-heavy grilled cheese with ham.

Join Andy in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes pomegranate-glazed chicken. The yogurt in the marinade, along with the honey and pomegranate molasses in the glaze, will give the chicken lots of color. Go with it. The very dark charred parts are extra tasty.

Join Carla in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes a salted caramel-chocolate tart! You can use a 9\" or 10\" tart pan, but the layers will be thinner in the larger pan. We also found that Morton kosher salt won’t dissolve completely in the caramel filling, so use Diamond Crystal for the best results for this tart recipe. Then, a generous sprinkling of flaky sea salt before serving brings out the flavor of the chocolate and tempers the sweetness of the caramel.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen to meal prep a week of lunches as part of the 2019 Heathyish Feel Good Food Plan! Using our recipe for what might be the best chickpeas ever, Chris makes chickpea salad with bitter greens and tahini-ranch dressing and a smashed chickpea sandwich.

Join Molly Baz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes dark chocolate chia parfait! This chia pudding is delicious on its own—and even better when layered with maple yogurt as a parfait.

No béchamel, no baking, just pure dairy-on-carbs joy.

Join Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes cast-iron skillet pizza with fennel and sausage. Pizza dough is usually sold as a 1-lb. ball. You only need 12 oz. for this cast-iron pizza recipe. We used a 10\" pan, so if yours is bigger, use a bit more dough. Cooking sausage in the pan before adding the dough infuses the crust with porky flavor.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes gluten-free carrot cake. This recipe uses almond flour, a wonderfully sweet, nutty complement for fresh carrots, walnuts, and raisins.

Join Brad Leone in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes fried bologna sandwiches. For this bologna sandwich recipe, cutting slits into the bologna before cooking helps it brown evenly across the surface and prevents it from curling and warping as they fry.

It’s the secret to pretty much all the great steakhouse dinners you’ve ever had.

Join Molly Baz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes mushroom carbonara. Mushrooms aren't exactly a substitute for the guanciale or pancetta that you would normally have in carbonara, but they bring their own deep flavor to the dish.

Join Carla Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes meatball subs! We like the combo of spicy and sweet Italian sausage, but use any uncooked sausage you like—merguez or chorizo would work.

Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes herb rice with scallions and saffron. This recipe is a labor of love. This rice dish is based on one of the most famous Persian polos (pilaf), known as sabzi polo. And while the fried shallots are not traditional (you can take them out if you’d like), they add a crunchy layer to the dish.

Join Priya Krishna in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes feta cooked like saag paneer. Saag paneer is great, but you haven’t lived until you have made saag feta: Priya's take on a classic Indian dish of of firm, curdled, and unmeltable cheese simmered in a gravy made of greens (often spinach).

Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes chicken and tomato stew with caramelized onions. Cooking lemon slices to almost-burnt adds a layer of complex flavor to this comforting dish. Cinnamon's sweet, earthy flavor tames tomatoes' juicy acidity. Apply this same thinking to other baking spices like nutmeg and cloves.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes spicy chicken katsu sandwiches. These sandwiches combine the shattering panko crispiness of katsu-style cutlets and the fiery heat found in Nashville-style hot chicken with some cooling shredded lettuce to put out the fire.

Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes salted chocolate halva. Salt and bittersweet chocolate lend a savory, sophisticated edge to this typically saccharine-sweet dessert. Halva can be a little tricky to make at first, and a candy thermometer is key to nailing the right temperature, which creates the desired flaky, crystallized texture.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes spicy-sweet sambal pork noodles. These weeknight noodles are inspired by the silky richness of meaty tomato sauce and the fiery, tangy-sweet flavors of pad kee mao (a.k.a. drunken noodles). It's full-on explosive flavor in under an hour.

Join Carla Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes a soufflé-style omelet. Your arm may get tired during all of the whisking, but make sure the egg white peaks are firm enough to stand up on their own while still having a nice shine to them!

Join Molly Baz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes a burnished basque cheesecake. This cheesecake is the alter ego to the classic New York–style cheesecake with a press-in cookie crust. Inspired by a Basque version, this is the cheesecake that wants to get burnt, cracked, and cooked at high heat. Which also means this is the cheesecake that’s impossible to mess up.

Join Carla Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes baked eggs in tomato. The trick is getting the eggs cooked so that the whites are set and the yolks are still jammy—starting with room temperature eggs is key, so soak them in hot water for a few minutes if they're cold from the fridge.

Join Molly Baz and Bon Appétit Editor in Chief Adam Rapoport in the Test Kitchen as they make Pork Marbella. We took a classic Chicken Marbella recipe and made it weeknight-friendly by using quick-cooking pork tenderloin instead.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes grilled brisket with peanut salsa. Normally, you associate brisket with long, slow cooking—maybe on a winter afternoon—but we’re making a case for throwing it on the grill. Freezing the brisket makes it easier to slice it against the grain, which nullifies its naturally ropy texture and exposes more surface area to the flavorful marinade.

Join Priya Krishna in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes shrimp pulao with quinoa. Pulao is an Indian staple and this quinoa variation is the perfect one-pot dish to make when you're feeling lazy after work.

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes chocolate blackout cake! According to legend (a.k.a. the Internet), this decadent chocolate cake was first created by Ebinger’s bakery in Brooklyn, New York, and named after the blackout drills during World War II.

Join Gaby in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes Tortilla de Papas. Salting the potatoes ahead of time draws out some of their liquid and guarantees they’re well seasoned, but skip this step if you want some of that moisture when you take a bite!

Welcome to Brad's World. Join Brad Leone in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes grilled (and stuffed!) squid.

These squid tubes are stuffed with tentacles, shrimp, scallions, garlic, ginger, spices and rice are dry rubbed with mustard powder, onion powder, salt & pepper, cayenne and coriander.

Join Carla in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes pasta with white pesto. This is the direct inverse of the normal basil pesto you know and love. It’s built on a combination of toasted nuts, creamy ricotta, and salty Parmesan, with a little kick coming from raw garlic and fresh oregano. You don’t need a food processor, a mortar and pestle, or a blender—in fact, the entire sauce comes together in the same bowl you can use for serving.

Join Andy in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes BA's very best bolognese. It doesn’t take a lot of ingredients (or a lot of money) to make a classic Bolognese recipe. What it does take, though, is patience for the sauce to achieve the ideal authentic texture. You’re going to go low and slow—it’ll take around 3 hours, but most of that cook time is hands-off.

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes Chili Colorado. What is Chili Colorado, you ask? It’s a traditional Mexican dish of beef or pork stewed in a red chili sauce—chili “colored red,” not chili from the state of Colorado.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes chocolate chip cookies. The addition of browned butter really puts these cookies over the top. It makes them crispy-edged, chewy-centered, yet still rooted in classic cookie flavor. Oh, and no mixer required, so there’s no excuse not to make them.

Join Priya Krishna in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes her mom's roasted cauliflower and potato aloo gobi. Too often aloo gobi is mushy or greasy. Here’s how to make crisp, crunchy, cumin-coated morsels of cauliflower and potato.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes lemony glazed yonuts (yes, that’s a Greek yogurt doughnut). We set out to make a Greek doughnut, we really did. We tried and we tried, and when it wasn’t working, we switched to Greek yogurt. Adding yogurt to the batter for these cake doughnuts made them light, tangy, and rich, and gave us a dough that was easy to work with.

Join Carla Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes pork shoulder steaks. The centerpiece of Korean barbecue is the meat, but it doesn't have to be steak. Keep an eye on the edge of the meat where it touches the grill: When it’s browned, turn the pork over.

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes pupusas filled with refried red beans and cheese. Once you taste this classic Salvadoran dish, you’ll definitely want to experiment with the fillings -- carnitas, beef, anything (but not literally anything)!

Join Carla Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes BA's best banana bread. Here at BA everybody has their favorite banana bread recipe. We made every one—14 to be exact—until we came up with a collective favorite. Dark brown sugar is key and a dollop of mascarpone makes for superior tenderness. Walnuts optional but encouraged.

oin Carla Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes a grandma-style sheet pan pizza. If you prefer a spicy pie, use twice as much hot soppressata and none of the sweet type.

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes pozole verde with chicken, a Mexican stew that features pozole corn. We like toasting the canned hominy to concentrate and develop its flavor, but if that’s one step too many, it will still be awesome!

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes chicken scarpariello. Chicken Scarpariello is a classic Italian-American recipe with juicy chicken thighs, sweet Italian sausage, and a vinegary, sweet-sour pan sauce.

Join Carla Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she make coffee crème caramel. The flavor inspiration for this recipe was Häagen-Dazs coffee ice cream mixed with burned caramel. Baking the crème caramel in a water bath is key for achieving that barely set, dense, and luscious consistency. And the lemon juice will help prevent your caramel from crystallizing.

Join Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes cherry cobbler. Why choose between shortcakes and cobbler when you can have one dessert that combines the best of both? The lemony cherry filling is topped with shortcake-inspired cream biscuits (so tender, so light!) that soak up all of those fruit juices without getting soggy.

Everybody put their hands together for Christina Chaey as she makes her 'From the Test Kitchen' debut! In her first episode, Christina makes a cold buckwheat noodle dish with kimchi and jammy eggs.

Too grandmotherly? Watch as Claire takes on all those negative connotations, and spins together a delicious dish that's sure to make you rethink your tired take on angel food cake.

Join Molly Baz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she make Basically's strawberry shortcake with cream. Strawberries are a classic choice for this summertime dessert, but if there are other fresh berries out there callin’ your name, by all means, use those instead. And if you've never made homemade whipped cream before, you're in for a treat—it's so good, you could skip the shortcakes altogether and still have an amazing dessert.

Join Gaby Melian in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes empanadas. Gaby is from Buenos Aires and was taught as a little girl by family members how to make them. After years of perfecting, she’s found she loves both baked and fried empanadas. Here, she makes empanadas with ham and cheese

Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes chicken skewers with garlic toum. Toum, an intense garlic sauce usually paired with shawarma, is used as both a marinade and a condiment in this chicken dish.

Join Carla Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes corn chowder. To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the bacon and replace with more shiitake mushrooms; sauté them until they’re golden brown.

Presented by Grey Goose. Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes apple pie. This is Rick's favorite pie recipe, which may have something to do with the butter and vodka crust.

Join Molly Baz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes coconut grilled chicken, skirt steak and shrimp. Welcome to your newest go-to summer marinade, featuring some spicy sambal, brown sugar and coconut milk to balance out the heat, and lots of fresh ginger and lime juice. This one’s just as awesome with shrimp or flank or skirt steak as it is with chicken thighs.

Join Brad Leone in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes what he calls "poor man's steak and eggs." Brad actually uses ground beef instead of steak in this recipe, but you can use just about anything, like pork or sausage.

In this very special edition of From OUTSIDE the Test Kitchen, Christina Chaey heads to Kopitiam to learn how to make Nasi Lemak, a Malaysian dish of coconut rice topped with crispy anchovies in a sambal sauce. With the guidance of the restaurant's head chef Kyo Pang and GM Moonlynn Tsai, Christina learns how to make this incredible dish from one of Bon Appétit's Hot 10 restaurants.

Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes BA's very best pesto. The key for this classic pesto recipe is to add the basil at the very end instead of blending everything all at once. That way the basil doesn’t get bruised or lose its flavor and maintains its vibrant green color.

Join Carla Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes spiced roasted pork with chili paste. This recipe is from chef Vivek Surti of Tailor in Nashville, No. 7 on our 2019 Hot Ten list. “In India you’ll find pork dishes in Roman Catholic areas, like Goa. When I think of pork in America, my mind goes to barbecue: rubbed with spices, cooked low and slow, and served with slaw,” he says. “I give this pork the Goa spice treatment, roast it, and reinforce the flavors of the marinade (it’s got both fennel and coriander seeds) with our version of slaw, which has fennel and cilantro.” A note from the BA Test Kitchen: The chile paste for this pork is added in two stages. Initially it acts as a marinade and permeates the interior of the roast. After a second addition is applied, it’s roasted over high heat to create a spicy, toasty bark.

Join Priya Krishna in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes potato pepper sabzi. The classic Indian marriage of snappy, sweet red peppers and crisped potatoes gets a jolt of flavor from crushed peanuts, toasted cumin and fennel seeds, and a spritz (or more!) of lime juice.

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes pork tamales. You can make masa, a dough made from ground corn, in two ways: instant and fresh. Fresh yielded the best corn flavor and best texture, but you can use corn masa flour too, which is easier to find. You can find fresh masa and dried corn husks at tortilla stores/factories, international sections at larger stores, or online. Whichever masa you choose, be sure to save some of the chile purée from the pork filling.

Join Carla Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes Thanksgiving stuffing. This easy stuffing recipe, or dressing if you prefer, will be a staple on your Thanksgiving dinner menu for years to come.

Join Priya Krishna in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes garlic ginger chicken. Both the marinade and the cooking method (low and sort of slow) have a huge payoff: Charred, spicy, juicy chicken that is equally wonderful by itself or rolled up in a roti, taco-style, and served with various salads and chutneys.

Join Molly Baz and Adam Rapoport in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as they make pumpkin chiffon pie. This light-as-can-be pumpkin chiffon pie gets its cloudlike texture from the addition of beaten raw egg whites. Be sure to take them all the way to stiff peaks for a slice of pie that can hold its shape. Parbaking the graham cracker crust at a relatively low temperature for a longer period of time ensures a crisp and deeply fragrant crust that won’t become soggy once the pumpkin filling is added.

Join Sohla El-Waylly in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes red lentil zucchini. These crispy, crackly zucchini fritters take inspiration from the traditional Bengali onion snacks piyaju. Soaked and blended red lentils make up the batter, which is spiked with turmeric and chili powder.

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes tie-dye swirl butter holiday cookies. The butter cookie that acts as your canvas is extremely simple to make (like, six ingredients simple), so you can spend most of your time on the fun part: unleashing your inner artiste. When you’re decorating, no need to panic if your first attempts don’t work out. Simply wipe off the failed glaze, let the cookie dry for about five minutes, and try again.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes easy chocolate cake. If you've got a bowl, a cheap hand mixer, and a couple of measuring cups, you can make this rich, chocolatey cake. Got a lot of birthdays on the horizon? You can pre-mix batches of the dry ingredients together, store them in airtight containers for up to three months, and be ready to celebrate at a moments notice with your own DIY cake mix.

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes apple cider doughnuts. These sugared doughnuts are craggy and crunchy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. Apple butter (not sauce!) is key to their texture and flavor; look for it alongside jams and jellies in the supermarket, or at farmers’ markets, or make your own.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes pasta with kale pesto. Substitute pine nuts for the walnuts if you'd like. To serve with pasta, stir in ½ cup pasta cooking liquid to the pesto until smooth and toss to coat, or serve as a topping for chicken.

Join Carla Lalli Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes the perfect pot of beans. After enjoying some of the best ones she'd ever had at Marlow & Sons in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Carla reached out to chef Patch Troffer to learn just what kind of magic he was conjuring. Armed with her new legume knowledge, Carla is eager to share.

Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he prepares turmeric salmon with coconut. The coconut crisp brings texture and heat to this simple stewy dish. Make a double or triple batch and use it as a topping for savory oatmeal, hearty soups, or roasted winter vegetables.

Join Hawa Hassan in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes suugo suqaar, a Somali pasta recipe. This Italian-influenced, yet distinctly Somali pasta recipe is one of the most common (and delicious) dishes in Somalia. Bonus points if you serve it with a banana.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes BA's best lasagna. Why in the world would we tell you to make meatballs, brown them, and then break them into pieces—for a ragù? Sounds crazy, but it’s the best way we found to sear a big batch of meat without overcooking it. This MeatballMethod™ yields deep color (a.k.a. flavor) along with tender meat. If you want to use fresh pasta, go for it, you overachiever you. We also tested the recipe with no-boil noodles, but found they soak up a lot more sauce and the lasagna loses its wonderful ooziness; instead, we recommend the regular dried stuff.

Make this when it’s Sunday and you’re not leaving the house. One spoonful of this smoky-spicy guajillo braising liquid and you’ll understand how complex dried chiles can be. When soaked in hot water and blended with aromatics, they create a base so flavorful you don’t even need stock. The chile purée may seem like a lot of liquid at first, but don't worry: Keeping the pot slightly uncovered as the ribs cook will allow the sauce to reduce and concentrate.

Join Hawa Hassan in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes Lahoh, Somali pancakes. Lahoh is one of the most common breakfast dishes in Somalia, but unlike other pancakes, these guys go through 2 hours of fermentation before cooking.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes healthy breakfast sandwiches. You may not mistake these jammy-crisp, slow-cooked onions for bacon, but they are truly exceptional as a stand-in, giving a huge blast of umami to create a truly satisfying breakfast sandwich.

Join Rick Martinez as he makes Tacos Placeros. This time we're stepping out of the Test Kitchen as Rick takes us to Queens to find the best Tacos Placeros in New York City. What are Tacos Placeros, you ask? Well, they're giant plate-size tacos that have a little bit of everything in them, traditionally depending on what's available! They can include various meats, but these particular tacos from Horchata Deli Grocery feature deep-fried, stuffed chiles rellenos.

Join Molly Baz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes classic chicken noodle soup. There are tons of shortcuts for chicken noodle soup, but this time we're not cutting corners—this is the long game! This version is about as classic (and as comforting) as they come, using a whole chicken—bones, skin, and all—to lend flavor and body to the broth. The key is to treat the breasts and legs differently: The breasts need to be pulled early so they don't overcook and dry out, whereas the legs require a long simmer to become incredibly tender. We used ditalini here, but feel free to use any small quick-cooking pasta you have! We wouldn’t be mad about orzo or ABCs either.

Join Priya Krishna in the Bon Appétit Test kitchen as she makes Kadhi. Kadhi is similar in texture to cream of [fill in the blank] soup, but with no cream, and…well…better. All you need to make it are yogurt, chickpea flour, and spices. But don’t let the simplicity fool you: Kadhi is both deeply comforting and insanely complex in its flavor, like a cozy blanket draped over a hot bowl of white rice. The exact recipe varies from region to region in India, and sometimes includes add-ins, like chickpea flour–based fritters called pakoras, but we like it thick, rich, and spice-forward, with a pleasant tanginess at the end. If you don’t like peppercorn flavor, feel free to nix them or cut the amount in half.

Join Carla Lalli Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes 30 minute chicken under a skillet. Butterflying and flattening the bird might feel like chicken chiropractory, but it’s all in the name of crisp golden chicken skin, and what more noble cause could there be? The flatter the chicken, the more contact with the cast-iron pan and the more crackly skin to enjoy at the end. And we wouldn’t tell you to invest in a second cast-iron pan if we didn’t think the crackly skinned roast chicken waiting for you on the other side was 1,000 percent worth it. Using the top pan as a weight maximizes the surface area that makes contact with the bottom pan, which all translates to—you guessed it—ethereally crispy skin. We recommend using a bottom skillet that’s at least 12"—any smaller and you won’t be able to fit the whole bird.

Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes pasta with tomatoes and chickpeas. If you don't have a can of tomatoes, tomato paste will work just fine. Cook a couple of tablespoons in a small skillet alongside the chickpeas until it darkens before adding to the chickpeas and proceeding with the recipe.

Join Molly Baz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes roast chicken and potatoes. This isn’t the crisp-skinned, high-heat roast chicken you’re probably familiar with. Instead, it’s a melt-in-your-mouth tender, schmaltzy, slow-roast version that’s more similar to rotisserie chicken—except (bonus!) it gets slathered in the funky-spicy-sweet gochujang. And while the meat might be the star of the show, don't discount those buttery-soft, nearly-confited potatoes, which cook gently in the chicken fat. Makes you wonder why you haven't always been roasting long-cooking vegetables—carrots, cauliflower, turnips (?!), winter squash, fennel—under the bird for a built-in side, huh?

Passover is right around the corner! Join Molly Baz and Adam Rapoport in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as they make BA's best matzo ball soup. This soup is very schmaltzy, full-bodied, and flavorful. If you prefer a leaner, clearer broth, make the soup a day ahead, chill overnight, then skim the schmaltz from the surface of the soup before reheating. You can save the schmaltz to make the matzo balls or for another use. This recipe serves eight people generously (with two balls each) but could easily stretch to serve 16 smaller appetizer-sized portions. We ordered the steps so that you could make the stock and matzo balls simultaneously, but if you prefer to break up the work, you can make both the balls and stock a couple of days ahead.

Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes Neapolitan chicken. The famous Neapolitan tomato sauce—packed with olives, garlic, capers, and anchovies—is traditionally paired with long pasta. In our version, chicken legs are gently oven-braised in the puttanesca until it's nearly falling off the bone. It’s a low-maintenance, one-skillet dish that is easy to pull off on a weeknight.

Join Sohla El-Waylly in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes cinnamon-date sticky buns. Instead of the usual brown sugar and butter filling, the fluffy buttermilk-laced buns are filled with a cinnamon-scented date purée. To make these, you'll have to knead, fold, and work with yeast, but the end results are more than worth it. A quick note on substitutions: The places where you can tweak this recipe to suit your preferences (and the contents of your pantry) are the filling and the glaze. The ingredients for the dough, however, are non-negotiable.

Join Molly Baz in her home Test Kitchen (and her dad in his kitchen) as she makes sour cream and onion biscuits. If you've ever had trouble making biscuits in the past, consider this recipe your saving grace. While many other methods count on pockets of butter and an angel’s touch for pull-apart flakiness, we weren't willing to leave it to chance. Our simple folding technique manually multiplies the number of layers for guaranteed, no-risk success. And the sour cream isn’t just a gimmick. Used in place of the more typical cream or buttermilk, it adds rich, tangy flavor, and acidity that helps make the biscuits incredibly light and tender. These are at their peak when they’re warm out of the oven. Plan accordingly.

Join Sohla El-Waylly in her home test kitchen as she makes lamb and scallion dumplings. To quote Sohla: "Once you learn how to make a dumpling, you can dump anything." Her words, but truly words to live by.

Join Molly Baz and Adam Rapoport at their homes as they make BA's best chicken parmesan. Let’s get one thing straight: We love chicken parm, but we’ve had our fair share of mediocre versions. So we took it upon ourselves to do a deep dive into this iconic dish, and come up with what we deemed our ideal recipe. In the end, that means we kept the cutlets a little bit thicker so they wouldn’t get overcooked. We gave them a shallow fry to achieve a crispy, evenly golden-brown breading. We blanketed them in a simple yet rich tomato sauce, which gets extra depth from tomato paste. And as for the cheese, we landed on a combo of Parmesan, for its salty edge, and mozzarella, for its creamy ooey-gooey texture. A word to the wise: Although you’re only using four chicken breasts, this recipe will feed up to eight people (and even more if you’re serving other dishes along with it!). But don’t fret about leftovers: They make for a great sandwich the next day.

Join Carla Lalli Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes broccoli delight. What is broccoli delight, you ask? Why, it's what happens when the stars align and a smattering of seemingly unconnected ingredients find unity in the confines of a pan. And if that doesn't make sense to you, basically it's melty, cheesy sautéed broccoli with chili flakes and lemon.

Join Chris Morocco in his home test kitchen as he makes red wine and soy-braised short ribs. These richly flavored ribs are a riff on kalbi jjim, a traditional special-occasion dish. Red wine adds depth and complements the soy and mirin.

Join Brad Leone in his backyard as he makes pork chops, flat bread and some vegetable slaw on the side. He uses an outdoor flattop propane burner, but you can use a cast iron skillet if you don't have one of those (and let's be real, who does other than Brad?).

Join Amiel Stanek in his home kitchen as he makes doughnut bread pudding. This recipe is a great way to use up stale doughnuts, but if you’ve got freshly made ones, that works too. Start with classic glazed or sugar-coated yeasted doughnuts, which have a light and airy texture, rather than cake doughnuts, which are dense and will turn to mush when combined with the custard. The bread pudding will puff heroically near the end of its baking time, like a soufflé, but fall shortly after it comes out of the oven; don’t worry, it’s supposed to do that! The final texture is somewhere between an eggy bread pudding and a clafoutis, and it’s pretty hard to stop eating.

Join Kendra Vaculin in the Bon Appétit test kitchen as she demonstrates how to make stuffing biscuits - just in time for the holidays. All the herby and aromatic flavors of a classic Thanksgiving stuffing—sage, rosemary, fennel seed, oniony scallion–are packed into this tender biscuit.
