Chef John's Brunswick Stew

My take on a Southern classic stew featuring pork, chicken thighs, and veggies. This comforting dish is hearty and meaty with a rich flavor profile.

Easy Pot Roast

This easy pot roast recipe is a keeper. Seared in a Dutch oven, then baked in the oven with vegetables, it takes a few hours, but is so worth the wait.

Chocolate Hamantaschen

These chocolate hamantaschen cookies are soft and cakey and not overly sweet. The chocolate filling is almost like a fudgy brownie. Just the right amount!

Lemon Coconut Cupcakes

This is a great cupcake recipe that I created. Lemon and coconut together is such a great combo. If you want, you can substitute lime zest for the lemon zest in the frosting, for lime coconut cupcakes instead. You can also add no zest at all to make regular coconut cupcakes.

Bacalao a la Vizcaina (Basque-Style Codfish Stew)

Bacalao (salted, dried codfish) stars in this Spanish-style fish stew from the Basque region of Spain. This traditional dish is popular in all Spanish-speaking countries; in fact, each country's version is slightly different. In Mexico, it's usually made for Christmas, New Year's Eve, and Lent. In Puerto Rico, it's enjoyed during Lent but also year-round. This is one of the Puerto Rican versions.
