Recipe notes

Chopped Salad With Sardines and Preserved Lemon

A feel-good meal full of crunchy veg and even crunchier pita chips.

Fufu

Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.

Palets Bretons

Palets bretons are oversize cookies that feature butter, and because they’re from Brittany, they’re traditionally made with beurre salé, salted butter.

Sofrito Bolognese

An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.

Easy Cherry Turnovers

Legendary pastry chef Claudia Fleming wraps both sweet and sour cherries into these flaky handheld treats.

Spicy Tinned Tuna Tostadas

Made with tinned fish and topped with mango and avocado, these vibrant tostadas won't break the bank.

Fattoush Salad With Lemon-Sumac Dressing

Every salad should have pita chips.

Creamy, vinegary, and with lots of fresh dill.
