One bowl and one full can of pumpkin yield a towering loaf with a crisp cinnamon-sugar lid that's impossible not to pick off in deeply satisfying bark-like flecks. This is my forever recipe for pumpkin bread. smittenkitchen.com/2016/10/pump...

The simplest, fuss-free pan pizza with a thick, airy dough rippled with blistered cheese on top, and browned to a seasoned crouton-like crisp underneath, the kind that makes an audible crunch when you cut through it. smittenkitchen.com/2026/01/simp...

The invisible apple cake (gâteau invisible) is so stunning, you’d never guess that it’s as simple as thinly-sliced apples in a vanilla-flecked, lemon-scented, gently sweet crêpe batter. Perfect with tea or coffee, perfect for right now. smittenkitchen.com/2024/12/invi...

Cubes of sweet potatoes roasted with so much spice, it almost forms a crust, atop a schmear of refried black beans, finished with lime, avocado, and more make for easy (vegan), hearty and flavorful weeknight tacos. smittenkitchen.com/2018/03/swee...

Broccoli cheddar soup, exactly the way I always wanted it to be -- a lot of broccoli, a little bit of richness, and the coziest thing on a fall afternoon. smittenkitchen.com/2015/09/broc...

A fluffy, spiced cake that tastes like a glazed apple cider doughnut and will make your kitchen smell like fall blew up in it, yet is secretly even more magical: it’s naturally dairy- and egg-free. smittenkitchen.com/2024/10/glaz...

It's my favorite time of the year in the Northeast -- crisp air, leaves in every color, and, most importantly, it's finally butternut squash and caramelized onion galette season. It's my every-October-without-fail thing, and I hope you make it yours too. smittenkitchen.com/2007/10/butt...

A sky-high vegetable lasagna with five layers of noodles, sauce, cheese, and vegetables (that are not an afterthought). The top layer — crackly with melted, deeply bronzed cheese over a thin slick of garlicky tomato sauce — is my favorite part. smittenkitchen.com/2020/02/perf...

A buttery, flaky, layered book of a cinnamon sugar scone makes your kitchen smell like fall bliss. These can be made in a single bowl, quite quickly, right now — lucky us. smittenkitchen.com/2019/09/cinn...

The snickerdoodle recipe of my dreams: thick, tender (but never cakey), fragrant with brown butter and vanilla bean, complex with a little cream cheese, and unequivocally the best aroma on earth to come home to. smittenkitchen.com/2025/10/brow...

A clean-out-the-fridge roasted cauliflower salad, the kind of thing I crave endlessly. This one has charred scallion segments, salted pistachios, chopped dates, and a sharp lemon dressing and it's so inhalable that forkfuls walked off as I tried to take photos. smittenkitchen.com/2023/01/caul...

These chicken cutlets are deeply golden, craggy, and surprisingly easy, thanks to an unusual omission: I skip the flour dredge. The result is even crispier cutlets that are simple enough for a weeknight — and a dinner staple. Scale it up for the best leftovers. smittenkitchen.com/2021/03/cris...

A bouldered and plush intersection of baked apples and New York-style crumb cake, i.e. 50% cinnamon-brown sugar topping, 50% golden, sour cream-enriched cake, and 100% the best kind there is. smittenkitchen.com/2021/10/big-...

This green angel hair with garlic butter is one of our favorite pastas ever. It's tangled with roasted garlic butter and vividly green from spinach. Finish with sharp cheese and lots of black pepper, then repeat weekly, perhaps forever. smittenkitchen.com/2022/11/gree...

A cozy, flavor-packed chicken tortilla soup that comes together quickly, without sacrificing any of the good stuff. Finish with crunchy tortilla strips, avocado, a squeeze of lime, and all the toppings your heart desires. smittenkitchen.com/2022/03/simp...

My favorite brownies are intense, fudgy, and a little chewy and fantastically easy too: 7 ingredients, 1 bowl, and you could be eating them 40 minutes from now. smittenkitchen.com/2012/08/my-f...

A toasty, cheesy casserole of torn sourdough and butter-seared vegetables from @taraobrady, made in one pan with minimal fuss. Serving instructions? “Hand out forks, then bring the pan to the table.” smittenkitchen.com/2015/05/mush...

Pumpkin cinnamon buns, better than ever -- bigger, generously spiraled with cinnamon sugar, tender and devastatingly delicious. Make this and be a hero to all around you. Or, make them and don't share. I won't tell. smittenkitchen.com/2012/10/pump...

A peak fall apple and cheddar crisp salad in which I share three tricks to make the kind of fancy, cool, crunchy, dynamic, and gorgeous salads I can never resist on a restaurant menu at home with little fuss for so much less. I'm obsessed. smittenkitchen.com/2022/10/appl...

A fudgy, fluffy one-bowl chocolate cake that just happens to be dairy- and egg-free. This cake is a massive hit everywhere it goes, if it makes it out of the house. smittenkitchen.com/2017/10/choc...

New! The simplest chicken tacos for last-minute dinners, i.e. the way I'm cooking most nights of the week. Tender, juicy, perfectly-spiced chicken, plus a couple of new tricks for making the toppings even easier, I hope this shows up just in time. smittenkitchen.com/2026/09/simp...

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...

smitten kitchen @smittenkitchen.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

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...

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...

smitten kitchen @smittenkitchen.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

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...

smitten kitchen @smittenkitchen.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

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...

smitten kitchen @smittenkitchen.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

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...

smitten kitchen @smittenkitchen.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

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...

smitten kitchen @smittenkitchen.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

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...

smitten kitchen @smittenkitchen.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

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...

0361 36

smitten kitchen @smittenkitchen.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

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...

smitten kitchen @smittenkitchen.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

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...

smitten kitchen @smittenkitchen.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

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...

smitten kitchen @smittenkitchen.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

A favorite late-summer pasta -- just roasted tomatoes, eggplant and garlic, blended into an easy, robust, velvety sauce. I've made this year -- 19 years and counting! -- right around now and invite you to join me. smittenkitchen.com/2008/01/riga...
