Meera Sodha s Cardamom & Rose Water Kulfi
Traditional kulfi is a dense, almost chewy, frozen treat that dates back to the 16th century in India. It takes hours of vigilant simmering and stirring to reduce milk down to a quarter of its volume. As you probably suspect, this recipe is not traditional kulfi.

Von Diaz s Pork Tenderloin Pernil Style
Von Diaz is sitting on the secret to not-at-all boring or dry pork tenderloin. In an ode to her mother, a working parent who always preferred her meats light and lean, Diaz seasons and marinates tenderloin like pernil, a Puerto Rican dish that's traditionally made with pork shoulder and roasted low and slow for several hours. Bonus: Because tenderloin can cook much faster and hotter and stay tender, you get to pernil in under 30 minutes.

J Kenji Lopez-Alt s 10 Minute Lime Cracker Pie
This icebox cake has the spirit of a Key lime pie and can be layered up in 10 minutes (if you’re not too precious about lining things neatly), then sent to the refrigerator to meld into a glorious tart-sweet-creamy-cakey pudding. But it has a salty secret: its structure comes from Ritz crackers.

The Tiniest Meatballs
My Tiniest Meatballs have a few tricks up their (size XXXS) sleeves, to pack maximum flavor while requiring the least amount of work—making them my all-time favorite easy weeknight meatball. They call in sweet Italian sausage, rather than plain old ground pork, so you get a couple of extras on the seasoning front: fennel seeds, dried parsley, onion powder, in most blends. They also let you skip all of the chopping and mincing of herbs and garlic and stale bread—instead, you just blitz it together in a food processor, in a flash. And finally, they invite ricotta to the party, because they don't want you to find them too dense. The ricotta in these tiny meatballs add extra tenderness to their interiors that serves as a perfect foil to the crisped-as-heck exteriors.

Easiest Creamiest Homemade Oat Milk
I might be revealing a bit too much about what generation I'm in when I confess: I adore oat milk. Or "milk," I should say. It took me—like the rest of the tristate area—by storm, when it arrived in New York City a few years back. And then things took a turn when an Oatly shortage befell the city earlier this year. I had to take matters into my own hands.

Dori Sanders No Churn Fresh Lemon Ice Cream
When it’s too hot to make a custard or do much at all, it’s nice to know that you can still have sweet-tart, bracing lemon ice cream all the same. This recipe—from Dori Sanders, a peach farmer, novelist, and cookbook author—only asks you to juice, zest, and stir.

Bacon & Egg Fried Cauliflower Rice
Some people make pasta carbonara when they’re too tired to cook. I prefer the bacon-and-egg combo with a zip of garlic, ginger, and scallions, so I make fried rice. Using cauliflower rice makes the dish healthy-ish and low-carb, if you’re into that kind of thing. To help this dish come together even faster, use 1 1/2 pounds of premade cauliflower rice instead of making your own.

New Potato Salad with Crispy Radishes, Fennel & Celery
