These fatteh-inspired spiced baked chickpeas are served with pita chips, a finely-chopped tomato cucumber salad, tahini yogurt, and toasted pine nuts, creating a colorful, layered, and flavorful dish I crave endlessly. smittenkitchen.com/2015/03/bake...

A 15-minute, 5-ingredient crispy-creamy pasta-and-greens dinner that wants to change the way we make ravioli forever, just in time to talk ourselves out of ordering takeout tonight. smittenkitchen.com/2019/10/skil...

Today's SK Digest is all about packed lunches for grown-ups (dino-cut sandwiches optional, but encouraged) trying to escape the tyranny of $20 sad desk slop bowls. Plus, and an interview with Top Chef alum Sara Bradley about her new cookbook. Enjoy! smittenkitchen.substack.com/p/make-every...

We spent 8 days traveling through Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Norway at the end of the summer and had the best time. As promised, I've written up everything we did, and perhaps one thing we might not do again. I hope you love waterfalls! smittenkitchen.com/travel/8-day...

Quick, one-bowl, hand-whisked cookies fragrant with vanilla and brown sugar, studded with chocolate, but a little rumpled too. It's a need, not a want. smittenkitchen.com/2009/03/cris...

This lentil, sausage, and swiss chard soup from the late, wonderful Gina DePalma via Adam Roberts (@amateurgourmet ) is a forever favorite -- cozy and filling but never boring due to a perfect finish of sizzling garlic oil. You'll be so, so glad you made it. smittenkitchen.com/2013/01/lent...

My favorite oatmeal pancakes, simplified and streamlined but as perfect as ever: hearty and flavorful, with leftovers so good, I always make a double batch. smittenkitchen.com/2010/05/oatm...

When it suddenly feels like soup season, I dream about this savory babka, ribboned with caramelized onions and poppy seeds. Add cheese, if you wish, for a [drumroll] French Onion Babka. Eat it plain, with butter or cream cheese, or alongside a cozy bowl of soup. smittenkitchen.com/2020/11/bial...

A roasted, toasty salad with crispy cabbage, charred cauliflower, and a sharp tahini dressing is perfect for this gusty fall day. The best moment is when the vegetables just begin to soften against the dressing -- each bite is both crackly and tender. smittenkitchen.com/2022/02/cris...

This is my go-to weeknight-friendly (i.e. everything is done, including the nonnegotiable grilled cheese alongside, in under an hour) tomato soup. Grape or cherry tomatoes do the heavy lifting here, providing flavor, nuance, and sweetness. smittenkitchen.com/2024/03/week...

Happy first day of fall, and first day of Mom's Apple Cake Season to all of us. This forever favorite cake is an avalanche of apples, a tiny bit of batter, and a cascade of cinnamon baked into a hulking mass of fall awesomeness in a tube pan. smittenkitchen.com/2008/09/moms...

If you've ever made breakfast burritos only to find them to be a staggering amount of work, this is the recipe for you -- the sheet pan is 100% easier. I include instructions for freezing and defrosting; future you is so glad you made extra. smittenkitchen.com/2018/09/brea...

Really simple, any night-friendly, breading-and-frying-free eggplant parmesan that's baked until blistered, cozy, and absolutely spoonable, with stretches of cheese trying to drag each spoonful back to the pan. Spoiler: It will fail; you will win. smittenkitchen.com/2023/09/simp...

If you haven't fallen in love with chocolate babka yet, the only reason could be that you haven't tried it. Don't be intimidated; they're not half as complicated as they look. Even the messiest assemblies still bake into deeply glossy, bronzed bittersweet loaves. smittenkitchen.com/2014/10/bett...

This is the swirly, fudgy, luxurious intersection of a brownie and cheesecake and there’s nowhere else I’d like to be right now. Raise your hand if you remember when I made these for labor and delivery nurses for a sweet kid who turns 17 today! smittenkitchen.com/2009/09/chee...

New! Holding onto the last gasp of summer with an almost no-stir tomato risotto that's uncluttered enough to let the tomatoes shine. Basil, parmesan, and butter round it out. Crispy frizzled red onions provide fragrance and depth, and a crispy finish. smittenkitchen.com/2026/09/toma...

A dream of a late summer, not-too-heavy chowder with fresh corn and beans, finished with salty cheese, chili powder, and a squeeze of lime juice. Baked tortilla chips on the side for all the crunch. smittenkitchen.com/2017/08/corn...

Broccoli rubble (crunchy bits quick-cooked with a sinus-clearing volume of garlic, pepper flakes, lemon zest, juice and pecorino) are draped with a slice of provolone and broiled until blistered and collapsed in an open-face sandwich that's all I want to eat. smittenkitchen.com/2016/02/broc...

If you can read about something called a magic cobbler that you make more or less entirely in the pan you bake it and not have it in the oven 15 minutes later, you're made of stronger stuff than me. smittenkitchen.com/2016/09/magi...

A pinnacle-of-late-summer baked grain dish that has all of the decadence of a pasta bake -- tomatoes, gooey cheese, and a crisp, burnished top. Farro, small, nutty and slightly chewy, provides heft while letting the vegetables star. We love this. smittenkitchen.com/2021/08/bake...

The perfect freezer-to-toaster waffle [cough, Deb-Os], crisp on the outside and tender inside with a heavenly aroma, and it couldn’t be easier: a one-bowl, butter and yogurt-enriched batter. smittenkitchen.com/2023/03/easy...

Dry, beleaguered honey cake is no way to kick off 5787. This best-in-category classic adapted from Marcy Goldman is the kind you make every year -- deeply spiced, great crumb, and very cozy. It gets better as it has time to rest, honestly, just like me. smittenkitchen.com/2008/09/maje...

A bronzed, woven challah with swirls of fig inside, fragrant with olive oil and orange zest. A little sweet, a little savory, this is my forever favorite challah, a High Holiday staple with leftovers that yield unparalleled french toast. smittenkitchen.com/2012/09/fig-...

The 5-ingredient brisket I’ve been cheating on all my other brisket recipes with. It's deeply flavorful, with an aroma so heady you will know instantly that you’re in the right place, I hope it’s the last brisket recipe you’ll ever need. smittenkitchen.com/2025/04/simp...

A small-diced salad heaped on a great swirl of hummus to be scooped with grilled pita wedges is the only thing I want to eat for the rest of the summer. With a few chocolate ice cream sandwich intermissions, for balance and stuff. smittenkitchen.com/2017/07/humm...

Perfectly smoky/charred, deeply flavorful baba ganoush/mutabal, no open fire pit or outdoor grill required. Blended with tahini, garlic, lemon juice and seasonings, served with pita wedges and a giant tomato-cucumber salad, this is summer dinner bliss. smittenkitchen.com/2014/08/smok...

A two-berry pie with a gorgeous hue and the fluffiest cobblestone of a crumb topping. Swap equal amounts of another fruit combination, if you wish. Just don't skip the topping. smittenkitchen.com/2017/08/blac...

Everything wonderful about late summer produce — burst cherry tomatoes, quick sautéed zucchini, and sweet crunchy corn — folded into one immensely flaky rustic parmesan-flecked crust. This dish is a forever SK favorite and has holiday weekend written all over it. smittenkitchen.com/2013/08/burs...

A cobblestoned cobbler for ripe summer plums (or other stone fruit) as simple as can be: no peeling fruit, no guesswork, no rolling pins, and no cookie cutters. The almond-scented scones bump into each other in the oven, some tumbling over, and browning on top. smittenkitchen.com/2022/07/plum...

The only thing I love more than the combination of salty, funky pecorino cheese and copious amounts of black pepper on a tangle of linguine is the way I make it in the summer: adding sweet, crunchy corn. It’s the perfect complement; they’re made for each other. smittenkitchen.com/2023/08/corn...

My favorite kind of burger is thin and smashed to a salty craggy-edged crisp and you don’t even need an outdoor grill to make it. I’ll walk you through every part of making a glorious imitation of a Shake Shack burger; you’re in for such a treat. smittenkitchen.com/2015/05/fake...

This in a foil packet on a grill + some hearty olive oil-brushed bread, grilled and rubbed with a clove of garlic + a glass of rosé with a couple ice cubes clinking around in it (not sorry at all) = the perfect kind of summer afternoon. smittenkitchen.com/2012/08/medi...

Eggplant involtini is essentially a summerweight, weeknight-friendly eggplant parm with no compromising on the tangy mix of melted cheese, tomato sauce, or silky eggplant. I get re-obsessed with it every summer, right around now, and think you might too. smittenkitchen.com/2022/09/eggp...

Wait, come back. I promise: not only does this zucchini work in a grilled cheese sandwich, it's phenomenal, adding texture and flavor. This is always a massive hit for something that is met with a few raised eyebrows. smittenkitchen.com/2017/06/zucc...
