Serious Entertaining: Hello, Morocco
It may seem counter-intuitive, but in the middle of snowy weather the best places to look for menu inspiration are those that don't really get winter at all. Take Morocco. The geography of this country is a hybrid of dazzling coasts and arid deserts. As a result, Moroccan cooks know how to make the most of limited produce as well as how to cook up some awesome seafood. Try a Moroccan-inspired meal with these recipes for Blood Orange and Cured Black Olive Salad, Beet Salad with Cinnamon, and Grilled Colossal Shrimp with Charmoula.Serious Entertaining: 'The Bachelor' Watching Party
I'm telling you, free up your calendar and invite some friends over to watch The Bachelor. Open some bottles of Sonoma wine that the wine-making bachelor Ben didn't make. Feel your jaw drop as the ladies manipulate, cry, and skinny dip their way to a coveted rose. You'll leave feeling like smartest, most grounded person on the planet.Serious Entertaining: Hanukkah Dinner Party
Hanukkah is a fun holiday. There are games (dreidel) with better-than-cash prizes (chocolate coins), and a free pass for indulging in fried foods. Though a really good, freshly fried doughnut is undoubtedly a treat, my favorite Hanukkah food is and will always be the humble latke. So on this menu I serve latkes with apple ginger chutney as the main course, with a few delicious bookends: cauliflower soup with crispy shallots and orange olive oil cake with candied walnuts.Serious Entertaining: Holiday Cocktail Nibbles
The best party nibbles are a bit salty, pair well with drinks, and are easy to eat while standing, mingling, and juggling eggnog. Here are three of my favorites: Spicy Cocktail Meatballs, Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Tartlets, and Mushroom Gruyère Pinwheels. What do you like to serve?Serious Entertaining: Summer Lunch
What ever happened to the lunch hour? What ever happened to taking a break in the middle of the day to pause and refuel? Grabbing a turkey sandwich at your local deli and eating at your desk doesn't count as lunch, and reheating last night's dinner in the office microwave (after cleaning up someone else's tomato soup mess) should really be considered working. So take back your lunch hour. Martinis optional.Serious Entertaining: Bringing The Biergarten Home
One of my favorite things to do in the summer is grab some friends and spend a leisurely day sitting outside in a biergarten. With endless beer, brats, and board games, I could make my visits a weekly habit—if it weren't so hard to get a seat. With too many crowds, the obvious move was to bring the biergarten home. And so can you, with this menu of light and tasty German food and, of course, some large pitchers of good brew.Serious Entertaining: Spain...On The Roof Again
Whether you have a roof, a deck, or simply a patch of your local park, Spanish food is perfect for al fresco dining. The flavors are earthy, the dishes are meant to be shared, and, in a pinch, a bottle of cold Verdejo and a hunk of nutty Mahon really makes its own meal.Recipes for Memorial Day Weekend
Is it Memorial Day weekend yet? This whole week we've been gearing up to the three-day weekend and official start of outdoor grilling season. Here's a mess of recipes we'd happily chow on with friends around a grill, on a rooftop, at a park, or wherever. Everything from sweet potato chips to burgers and skewer-able meats to roasted potato salad, and of course a cold basil lemonade to gulp down.Serious Entertaining: Memorial Day
We're entering summer territory and my heart lifts at the thought of barbecues, sidewalk dining, and post-work "I can't believe it's still light out" drinking. I like to kick off my summer season by inviting over some friends and cooking up the types of dishes I look forward to most, such as blue cheese biscuits, spicy carrot salad, and cherry pie.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab

But chocolate gift-giving needn't be a cliché. This year, let's bake our sweethearts chocolate cakes and pies instead! Here are 8 delicious recipes perfect for celebrating your love (of chocolate.)
