Recipe notes

Pickle Coleslaw

Creamy, vinegary, and with lots of fresh dill.

Smothered Italian Sausage

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

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.

Ensalada Rusa (Pink Potato Salad)

This Caribbean classic, made with beets for a magenta hue, looks as striking as it tastes.

Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato Dip

Creamy and bright with just a subtle bit of heat, this five-ingredient, make-ahead dip is ready for company—just add crudités.

Luscious Banana Pudding

Layer homemade custard, ripe bananas, and vanilla wafers under clouds of whipped cream for this iconic dessert.

Île Flottante

Originally called omelette à la neige (snow omelet) in reference to the fluffy snow-like appearance of the meringue, île flottante (floating island) has a lengthy history that dates back to the 17th century.

Spicy Tinned Tuna Tostadas

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