Join Chris Morocco back in his home kitchen as he makes weeknight meatballs. We stripped meatballs down to the most essential elements, creating a recipe that is easy enough for a postwork dinner. Making larger meatballs means they actually have time to properly brown in the oven without overcooking.Get the recipe: Easy Weeknight Meatballs

Join Brad Leone and Andy Baraghani in Brad's backyard as they grill "garbage fish." Don't be turned off by the term; it refers to bycatch, fish unintentionally caught while targeting other species. Brad picked up some bluefish and porgy, which are historically considered bycatch, to grill into a delicious meal.

Join chef DeVonn Francis as he makes a torched banana cake. Banana bread had a real moment during lockdown. This cake is an elevation of that tried and true standard that takes overripe bananas to the next level. And we always think it's fun when you get to use a torch (safely, of course).

Join Rawlston Williams in his home kitchen as he makes stewed chicken and breadfruit. This stewed chicken recipe ideally uses a yardbird (a free-range chicken) marinated in a mixture of spices, including ginger, bay leaves, culantro, broadleaf thyme, gochujang and more. Rawlston prepares the breadfruit three ways; roasted, steamed and fried. You really can't go wrong with any of these methods.

Brad Leone joins Chrissy Tracey at her cabin to make vegan cacio e pepe with grilled mushrooms. This recipes use cashews for the base of the sauce. Blending them with miso helps to mimic the creaminess and cheesiness of the original. And if you can't forage your own maitake and lion's mane mushrooms, store-bought is just fine.Note: While some types of pasta are made with eggs, traditional cacio e pepe is often made with just an emulsion of cheese, pepper, and pasta water.
Recipes
Join super friends Andy Baraghani and DeVonn Francis as they make two different salads: torn burrata and persimmon salad and langoustine and melon with herb salad. These may not be every night of the week salads, but everybody deserves to treat themselves now and then.

Chris's challenge for Rawlston is braised chicken thighs, of course featuring a healthy dose of vinegar.

It is now prepared in over two hundred different ways. Claudette's variety includes chile pasilla, chile de árbol, peanuts, toasted sesame seeds and more.

But that's not all. The wings are then paired with a beautifully bright calamansi aioli. If you're unfamiliar with calamansi, they are a variety of citrus common in the Philippines.

Join chef Sophia Roe as she makes curry cauliflower rice. For distinct bits of cauliflower that won’t turn into mush once they’re cooked, don’t overcrowd the bowl of your food processor. Doctor up your cauliflower rice with toasted pine nuts or almonds, dates or dried currants, lots of fresh herbs, unsweetened coconut flakes, or chopped fresh chile.

Join Rawlston Williams in his home kitchen as he makes braised goat with dasheen (taro root) and callaloo. The cubed goat is soaked in a mixture of baking soda and water and marinated before braising to make it super tender and flavorful. This goat stew (or soup, if you like) features callaloo, dasheen and okra, but you can sub these out for any comparable vegetables, like green beans or yukon potatoes.

Join Harold Villarosa (and special guest Hip Hop Philanthropist A$AP Twelvvy) at The Bronx Brewery as he makes steak okonomiyaki, a Japanese-style savory pancake. Okonomiyaki begins with dashi, a flavorful stock that Harold makes with locally-sourced kelp and dried mushrooms. While the dashi simmers, you can work on the steak and sauce. Harold uses NY strip steak for this recipe, but feel free to use whichever cut your heart desires. When it actually comes to making the okonomiyaki, mix the dashi into the batter followed by cabbage and scallion and then start making pancakes!

Join DeVonn Francis as he makes spicy peanut butter noodles with sausage. This Thai-inspired recipe uses ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge or pantry. DeVonn uses Lavi for this dish - a wonderful brand of spicy peanut butter from Haiti - but any all-natural peanut butter will work too. Lavi Spicy Peanut Butter™ (“Lavi”) is a delicious, new spicy peanut butter available in the US and Canada. Inspired by a Haitian family recipe, it is made with love by Sergeline René and social enterprise Acceso Haiti with the highest quality 100% Haitian-grown peanuts and infused with Scotch bonnet peppers.

Join Claudette Zepeda as she makes frijoles charros and flour tortillas. Frijoles charros are from the Northern part of Mexico and are named for the Mexican horseman or cowboy called a charro. Claudette adds bacon, smoked sausage, Spanish chorizo and smoked ham to the pinto bean base to guarantee you're getting meat in every bite. Pro tip: save some of the rendered fat from the bacon to put in the tortillas. You won't regret it.

And in the spirit of giving, Samantha sends a fruitcake to Chris Morrocco because fruitcake is best when shared!

Join Tiana Gee AKA Tee as she makes sweet potato gnocchi with caulilini and mushrooms served with pistou. Pistou is a cold, olive oil-based basil sauce from France that closely resembles pesto, except it is usually made without pine nuts and sometimes without cheese.
Recipes
Join Chris Morocco as he makes sweet and saucy pork chops. For weeknight-friendly pork chops that cook in record time but are still succulent, we turn to an unexpected ingredient: sugar. A pinch sprinkled over the surface helps the chops caramelize and develop a golden-brown crust before the meat has a chance to dry out. For max juiciness, we finish cooking them in a buttery-tangy pan sauce that then gets spooned over every slice.

Join Melissa Miranda as she makes Chicken Afritada. This tomato-based Filipino stew marries hearty vegetables, peas, and olives with tender chicken thighs.

Join Chris Morocco as he makes baked lunch nachos. Chris relies on some version of these lunch nachos at least once a week as he brainstorms what to feed his two young kids. It’s worth it to commit the formula to memory: a bag of chips, a can of refried beans, maybe some leftover meat or roasted veg from the night before, shredded cheese, and some kind of quickly cooked, spiced veg like cauliflower or brussels sprouts. It’s a lightning-fast lunch (or dinner) that can be tweaked to suit anyone’s preferences.
Recipes
Join Andy Baraghani as he makes tuna salad with crispy chickpeas. Tuna salad deserves more than to be dolloped on dressed greens for lunch. Some pan-fried chickpeas and the crunch from endive improve things tremendously.
Recipes
Join chef Susan Kim as she makes gyeran mari, a Korean rolled-egg omelet. Susan sells Korean to-go lunch boxes filled with beautifully prepared vegetables and various banchan, or small side dishes, through her NYC-based pop-up Eat Doshi. We were so enamored of these beautiful doshirak that we asked Kim to teach us how to recreate a home-cooked version that includes these savory rolled-egg omelet slices filled with toasted seaweed snacks and a secret ingredient: Parm shavings. They’re equally good enjoyed on their own as a little snack, as a side dish to a larger meal, or sliced and served with a bowl of rice. Kim uses sheets of toasted seaweed snacks from brands like Seasnax or gimMe, which come pre-seasoned with sesame oil and salt.

Join Chris Morocco as he makes Beef Wellington with green sauce. This sort-of-traditional approach to beef Wellington doesn’t shy away from using a wide range of umami-rich ingredients such as bacon, soy sauce, mustard, and maitake mushrooms to create tons of flavor. A lighter sauce packed with herbs and a few anchovies balances out the heavy dish and brings old-school beef Wellington into the modern era.
Recipes
Join Chrissy Tracey as she makes vegan meatballs with a Marcella Hazan inspired tomato sauce. This recipe was actually inspired by Chris Morocco's (non-vegan) meatball recipe. Instead of using beef, Chrissy uses lentils as the mainframe of the meatball, mixed with oat milk-soaked bread. The oat milk adds a little more fat content to the recipe, giving the meatballs a much fuller taste.
Cooking Techniques
Join Melissa Miranda as she makes Lumpiang Sariwa, Filipino spring rolls packed full of fresh vegetables and tofu.
