  • simple chicken tacos 30 Sept 2026 Twenty years ago, I started this website because I wanted a place to share recipes I was excited about, as it’s practically coded into my DNA to be an unfettered yap about the things I love. [This is me.] The larger con…
  • tomato risotto with frizzled red onions 16 Sept 2026 If you’re one of those people who gets irritated by the specter of pumpkin spice — or, gasp, Halloween decor — on an 85-degree week in September; if you understand that there are what will feel like infinite months left…
  • peach cobbler loaf 28 Aug 2026 A friend asked me last week how long it takes to get a recipe right. I told him the only answer I know: As long as it takes. I’d like to be someone who could “adjust my expectations,” make peace with “close enough,” or…

  • cucumber salad with sesame and rice vinegar 12 Aug 2026 It is an error that needs correcting that in the near-20 years of plugging recipes into this url, only a few truly star cucumbers — and highly unrepresentative too, given that we are probably eating some format of cucum…
  • spaghetti aglio e olio 28 Jul 2026 Do you ever look around at the ingredients available to you, the energy you have to give to the cooking process — or, as I recently explained to a medium-sized child shortly before I got uninvited from future family eve…
  • house lemonade 17 Jul 2026 I realize as far as recipes go, suggesting one needs one for lemonade is questionable. What’s next, a set of detailed instructions for salted water, simple syrup, or buttered noodles? (Whoops!) But it turns out I have o…
  • hot dogs with vinegared iceberg and potato chips 1 Jul 2026 In something I never expected to have to clarify, this is a hot dog recipe but it is not a recipe for hot dogs. I know that I have a history of making foods from scratch that most sane people do not feel the need to — c…
  • strawberry chiffon shortcake, perfected 17 Jun 2026 In 2007, when this website was still in its infancy, I shared a recipe for a layered strawberry chiffon shortcake. I’d never made a chiffon cake before, but I brought it to a friend’s rooftop birthday BBQ, correctly ass…
  • snow pea salad with avocado 3 Jun 2026 One of my most exasperating traits — or, perhaps one that makes me ideally suited for this space I invented, coincidentally, to suit my collection of traits — is that I have a terrific amount of random ingredient prepar…
  • chicken salad for celery enthusiasts 20 May 2026 I’m not sure if this is a sign of hitting a certain age — like a sudden interest in bird feeders (check, and please tell me about yours), or beekeeping (well, in the TikTok sense, not sorry), and animated conversations…

  • Two dark chocolate cookies, a generous vanilla cream filling, and so much better when homemade. 18 Oct 2026
  • Letter of recommendation: Make a deep skillet of your favorite taco or burrito filling, cover it with cheese and broil the lot of it until lightly charred and gooey on top, then scoop it up with tortilla chips. Repeat as needed, which will be often. 18 Oct 2026
  • 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. 17 Oct 2026

  • 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. 16 Oct 2026
  • 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. 15 Oct 2026
  • 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. 14 Oct 2026
  • This week's Smitten Kitchen Digest is full of ways to chomp and bake your way through October's apples, plus three of my favorite fall weeknight dinners, and we've got in interview with Rachel Gurjar, whose cookbook East to East is out today. 13 Oct 2026
  • 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. 12 Oct 2026
  • 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. 12 Oct 2026
  • 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. 11 Oct 2026
  • 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. 10 Oct 2026
  • 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. 10 Oct 2026
  • 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. 9 Oct 2026
  • 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 took photos. 8 Oct 2026
  • 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. Scale it up for the best leftovers. 7 Oct 2026
  • 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. 6 Oct 2026
  • 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. 5 Oct 2026
  • This week’s Smitten Kitchen Digest celebrates Braiser Season, a thing I invented for the stretch of the year when the best foods are cooked slowly in a heavy pot with a lid. Plus, a new recipe for simple chicken tacos and an interview with Nik Sharma. 5 Oct 2026
  • 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. 4 Oct 2026
  • 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. 4 Oct 2026
