The whole lemon marinade really infuses the chicken and cabbage with bright, zesty flavor. It's a fantastic no-waste approach!

Ragu Bianco (White Bolognese Sauce)
Unlike the classic red Bolognese, Ragu Bianco, or white Bolognese sauce, is a rich and flavorful Italian creation distinguished by the absence of tomatoes. Originating most likely in northern Italy, its three-hour simmer on the stovetop allows the subtle and nuanced flavors of the meat and other ingredients to truly meld and shine.

Roasted Honey Ginger Salmon
Lidey Heuck calls her honey ginger salmon "candy salmon" for its balanced sweetness, making healthy fish feel like a treat. Salmon's rich flavor pairs well with sweet-savory glazes, unlike more delicate white fish. Honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar are briefly simmered, then fresh ginger and garlic are stirred in off-heat to preserve their vibrant flavor. This glaze bastes the salmon while cooking and serves as a spoonable sauce. It's finished with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, which adds a touch of tartness to this delicious sweet salmon recipe.

Peanut Butter Miso Cookies
Krysten Chambrot’s (NYT Cooking) unexpectedly delicious cookies arose from a fortunate substitution. When she was low on peanut butter, she added creamy white miso, which proved a surprisingly excellent alternative. Adjustments to the remaining ingredients balances the savory notes, resulting in a salty-sweet, crunchy-chewy cookie. A chill in the refrigerator softens the miso's intensity, while a coating of Demerara sugar introduces a wonderful crunch.
