All-Belly Porchetta
This classic Italian pork roast gives you crisp skin and tender, juicy, well-seasoned meat, along with a stunning presentation.
Gravlax With Caraway, Coriander, and Mustard-Dill Sauce
Luxury without a high price tag. For the cost of a fresh piece of salmon, you can cure your own gravlax at home, then slice it and serve it as one of the most elegant hors d'oeuvres or light appetizers imaginable.
Black Olive Tapenade
Black olives, capers, anchovies, fresh herbs, and garlic make a much more vibrant tapenade than what you can buy pre-made at the store.
Beet and Citrus Salad With Pine Nut Vinaigrette
This salad combines in-season grapefruit and orange with intensely sweet roasted beets and a bit of arugula for a peppery kick.
Glazed Pearl Onions
These teeny onions are sweet and tender in a glossy, flavorful glaze.
Creamed Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Gratin
This over-the-top casserole, packed with bacon and Brussels sprouts, can be prepped up to five days before your party.
Ultra-Crispy Roast Potatoes
Parboiling your potatoes, then tossing them roughly in a bowl with a metal spoon, increases their surface area for an extra-crunchy exterior.
Molten Chocolate Cake
An easily multiplied recipe for gooey chocolate cake, served in ramekins with whipped cream, ice cream, and caramel sauce.
