Roast Pork Tenderloin with Carrot Romesco

Juicy pork, roast carrots, and hearty greens plus a garlicky romesco sauce equals a dinner you'll want to make over and over.

Poached Eggs on Toast with Ramps

When ramps are in season, stock up and make this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Swap in any soft cheese you like: Try ricotta, cream cheese, or an oozy burrata.

Swiss Chard and Mushroom Galette

Selling skeptics on the idea of a vegetarian dinner is easy when it's in pie form. Maitake mushrooms add heft.

Ricotta Gnocchi with Asparagus, Peas, and Morels

Chef Nemo Bolin at Cook & Brown Public House in Providence, RI, turned us on to the technique for this streamlined, no-knead gnocchi dough.

Braised Chicken with Artichokes and Fava Beans

Browned for deep flavor (and good looks), then braised for succulent results, this spring chicken has it all.

Smoked Trout with Pea Shoots and Spring Onions

Look for pea shoots at the farmers' market or at Asian markets (though any tender green will work in a pinch).

Fish Stew with Fennel and Baby Potatoes

Elegant and easy, this flavorful fish stew comes together in less than 30 minutes.

Spring Greens with Quick-Pickled Vegetables

The dressing for this salad is on the less acidic side: Once the tart pickled vegetables are in the mix, it will be perfectly balanced.

Green Garlic and Pea Soup with Whipped Cream

The key to a vibrant green (not khaki) soup: Bring the water up to a boil quickly over high heat, and err on undercooking the peas to preserve their color.

Linguine and Clams with Almonds and Herbs

Almonds are the new breadcrumbs. Their toasty flavor and crunch add just the right contrast to pasta.

Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb with New Potatoes

This recipe calls for fairly small racks of lamb, about a pound each. If your lamb is larger, the cooking time will increase, but you can get away with serving single, not double, chops.

Sunday Sauce with Sausage and Braciole

Ask anybody'snonna: Making Sunday sauce is not an exact science. You can use other meats—like thick pork chops or short ribs—in place of or in addition to the ones listed here.

Herbed Faux-tisserie Chicken and Potatoes

You can roast a chicken in less time, but going low-and-slow yields a meltingly tender, shreddable texture.

Spicy Kimchi Tofu Stew

This fiery Korean stew is my weekend detox. It's spicy, clean, and capable of reversing any damage the previous night may have caused.

Herbed Feta Dip

Spiced Labneh

Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder with Mustard and Sage

Serve this over a bed of soft polenta for catching the juices, with a simply dressed salad on the side.

Bistro Steak with Buttermilk Onion Rings

Here's how to time this: Have the salad and onion ring components ready before you cook the steak and the sauce, then keep the sauce warm while you fry the onions. Toss the salad at the last moment.

Short Rib Pot Pie

Top the most amazing beef stew with the flakiest pie crust and discover the most comforting dish you’ll eat all winter.
