Honey-Gochujang Roast Chicken

This Honey-Gochujang Roast Chicken achieves a perfect harmony of spicy-sweet complexity and savory depth, boasting very crisp skin and succulent, tender meat. Gochujang is a thick, crimson-red fermented chili paste that is a cornerstone of Korean cuisine. It isn’t just a "hot sauce"—it’s a complex, concentrated ingredient that brings a balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors to a dish.

Maple-Mustard Sheet-Pan Salmon

Sheet-pan meals are the ultimate solution for a busy weeknight, and Maple-Mustard Salmon stands out as a sophisticated yet remarkably simple centerpiece. By roasting everything on a single tray, you allow the flavors to mingle while keeping cleanup to an absolute minimum. The magic of this dish lies in the balance of the glaze. The natural sweetness of pure maple syrup cuts through the sharp, vinegary tang of Dijon mustard. This salmon is succulent and flavorful.

Tuscan Melting Cabbage

If you’ve ever doubted that a head of cabbage could be the star of the show, Tuscan Melting Cabbage is here to change your mind. You start by searing thick cabbage wedges until they’re deeply caramelized, then nestle them into a rich, savory cream sauce spiked with sun-dried tomatoes and salty Parmesan. A final slow-roast in the oven transforms the cabbage until it's "meltingly" tender and golden. It’s an easy, budget-friendly side dish that tastes absolutely incredible.

Vesuvio Potatoes

Vesuvio Potatoes are a classic of Italian-American recipe, particularly associated with Chicago, Illinois, where it is believed to have originated in the 1930s. It's named after Mount Vesuvius, the volcano near Naples, Italy. They are garlicky, lemony wine-infused potato wedges. The original dish is Chicken Vesuvio. I went to Mount Vesuvius when I was 16 with my friend Alina. I have a pathological fear of heights. Hence, going to the top of Mount Vesuvius on the back of a mule was a bad idea..... Ditto Saint Paul's cathedral dome in London.

Pork à l’Orange

This Pork à l'Orange is a classic and elegant dish that uses small pork tenderloins. Thanks to its petite size, pork tenderloin is easy to flavor and cook.  The vibrant, citrusy orange sauce is a balance of savory and sweet, with a hint of tanginess from the orange. The sauce is simmered into a thick luscious sauce that gets drizzle onto the roasted pork. This recipe is pretty flexible and you can use 1-2 very small pork tenderloins, or one medium-large pork tenderloin. Pork can be slightly pink, though it should reach 145° F. Don't overcook the pork! It should reach an internal temperature of 145°F and can have a slight pinkness in the center to remain tender.
