Bee Sting Tiramisu

Rachel Perlmutter — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 10:20:00 -0400

There are certain desserts that always grab my attention. Creamy tiramisu is one of those desserts, probably because its custardy texture feels more closely related to banana pudding than a traditional cake. Another dessert that has had my heart for years is German bienenstich, or bee sting cake, in which decadent pastry cream is sandwiched between two layers of light, yeasted cake with caramelized honey and almonds on top.

Why I Stopped Making Cookies from Scratch — And the Boxed Mix I Started Buying Instead

Micki Wagner — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 09:30:00 -0400

Choosing one all-time favorite dessert sometimes feels impossible for me, a verified sweets-lover. But if I truly had to choose just one, it would be a cookie. There are just so many different types — chocolate chip, sugar, snickerdoodle, peanut butter — and they usually bake quickly in the oven. The thing is, while I love homemade cookies, I don’t always have the time and energy to make them. That’s where My Better Batch comes in. READ MORE...

Skip the Grocery Store: The Most Delicious Hot Dogs Are from This 87-Year-Old Restaurant Chain

Micki Wagner — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 13:30:00 -0400

It’s no secret that Americans love hot dogs. We bought 905 million pounds of them last year, according to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council — and that figure only includes grocery store purchases, not hot dogs sold at ballparks or events. My husband and I are a part of that crowd. My husband specifically loves a good hot dog, so I recently surprised him with Pink’s Hot Dogs’ Best-Seller Hot Dog Kit from Goldbelly for a fun (and delicious) end-of-summer dinner. READ MORE...

Heinz Is Releasing a First-of-Its-Kind Ketchup for a Limited Time

Celia Funderburk — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:30:00 -0400

Ketchup is an all-American condiment. You won’t find a burger stand, baseball stadium, or diner without a bottle on hand. And it’s good for more than just dipping fries. Ketchup is a key ingredient in many recipes like meatloaf, stir-fries, and even coleslaw. The tomato-based version was invented here in the 1870s by Henry Heinz, and his company is still creating new ways to enjoy it. READ MORE...

Aji Verde

Erik Ramirez — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 11:00:00 -0400

Aji verde is probably one of the most recognizable and beloved Peruvian sauces. If you’ve ever eaten at a Peruvian restaurant — especially a pollo a la brasa spot — chances are you’ve had some version of it.There are countless ways to make it, and every restaurant and household seems to have its own recipe. This is my version. It’s creamy, bright, herbaceous, a little spicy, and, most importantly, you can put it on just about anything. READ MORE...

Dua Lipa's Favorite Italian Potato Chips Are So Good, the Bag Was Gone in 10 Min

Celia Funderburk — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 17:30:00 -0400

I saw Dua Lipa perform at Austin City Limits in 2024, and my life hasn’t been the same since. I loved it all: her dancing, her outfits, her music. So when I recently heard about one of her favorite snacks, I was sure I’d love that too. And I wasn’t wrong. When the pop star posted a photo of a bag of potato chips on her Instagram, I was intrigued. These weren’t just any ol’ bag of plain potato chips (no shade — I adore all potato chips). READ MORE...

13 Potato Side Dishes That Will Never Leave Our Editors’ Rotation

Alexandra Foster — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 17:00:00 -0400

I have never met a potato I didn’t like. In fact, potatoes were my favorite vegetable when I was a kid. While I’ve expanded my palate since then, I still love to experiment with different ways to cook the starchy spuds beyond just roasting or baking them. If you, too, are seeking recipe inspiration, then look no further. I asked our editors for their all-time favorite sides, and I’ve already bookmarked a few I plan on trying. READ MORE...

I Set Out to Quit Buying Ultra-Processed Foods, and Picked Up 4 Key Tips I’ll Use Forever

Jen Sherman — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:30:00 -0400

For the past five years, I’ve been on a mission to cut back on the ultra-processed foods my family eats. While people define ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in a few different ways, the simplest way to think about them is foods made with ingredients you’d never find in your own kitchen. This has been no easy feat, given that nearly 75% of the U.S. food supply is ultra-processed. We still keep boxes of macaroni and cheese in the cupboard, and my children eat cake at parties.

A Private Chef’s 7 Kitchen Staples for Easy Weeknight Dinners and 50-Person Parties

Jill Layton — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 11:45:00 -0400

Jen Giacomazzi uses the same pots and pans to cook for her two kids as she does to cater a 50-person dinner party. As a private chef based in Orange County, California, she’s learned that the fanciest cookware isn’t always the most useful; what matters is gear that’s durable, easy to clean, and flexible enough to scale from Tuesday night quesadillas to a fancy five-course spread. Here are the seven workhorse pieces she consistently comes back to, at home and on the job. READ MORE...

Gochujang Chili Mac

Rachel Perlmutter — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 11:00:00 -0400

When I was a kid, I knew with every fiber of my being that Hamburger Helper was one of life’s truest, most delicious pleasures — specifically, the chili mac and beef stroganoff flavors. You couldn’t convince me otherwise. The way I reacted when I saw that box on the counter, you’d think I was headed to front row seats at a Spice Girls concert. READ MORE...

Apple Crostata

Erin Merhar — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 10:00:00 -0400

Lately, the heat of the summer has been hanging on and seeping into early fall. Instead of waiting for cool breezes and falling leaves, I start the fall season on time with warm spices and baked apples. For this year’s seasonal apple pastry fix, I’m taking a simpler approach and baking apple crostata. Unlike a traditional, jam-filled Italian crostata, this version takes the form of a rustic French galette. READ MORE...
