For this pie, we will travel north to the municipality of Pithiviers in the Loire Valley region. This very traditional pie, baked for the Epiphany on the sixth of January, is also called ‘kings’ cake’ or galette des rois, referring to les rois mages, or the three wise men (kings). The galette is made of puff pastry and frangipane, a moist almond cream, and always contains a small ceramic figure called a fève (meaning broad bean, as this is what was originally used). The idea is that the person who finds the fève is then crowned king or queen for…

This is so easy and wonderful for a big family get-together. It takes moments to assemble and milliseconds to be gobbled up.
The name of this salad isn’t as misleading as it seems: It’s a perfect lunch, but it’s made at breakfast. Add more eggs to your weekly 7-minute egg boil, throw in some extra bacon when you’re doing your Saturday morning fry-up, and boom! You’ve got half of this salad made already. All that’s left to do is to chop a head of romaine and whisk together the maple vinaigrette. Keep these components in your fridge and throw together the salad whenever you want one (probably several times a week).
You can’t beat Thai curry paste in the convenience department. If you have a jar of it and a can of coconut milk, you’re ready to make curry out of any vegetable or protein in your pantry.

That’s why this soup, created by Epicurious contributor Mindy Fox, has extra doses…
This rustic northern Italian specialty features tender dumplings deeply flavored with Parmesan and served in a light chicken broth. We modernized the classic recipe a bit, making it heartier by adding fennel, carrots, and escarole. For the dumplings, we combined fresh toasted bread crumbs with some rendered chicken fat and a generous amount of grated Parmesan for great savory flavor. Egg whites gave the dumplings a lighter texture. To ensure that the dumplings remain intact during cooking, roll them until the surfaces are smooth and no cracks remain.
Your Dutch oven doesn’t have to be limited to labor-intensive recipes: This quick Asian-style noodle soup is as simple as it is satisfying. We used the Dutch oven to first brown chicken breasts and build a full-flavored base. To keep it easy, we used the noodles from store-bought ramen soup, discarding the seasoning packet, which tasted dusty and was too salty. Store-bought coleslaw mix conveniently provided already shredded cabbage and carrots ready to add to the pot. Ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil added significant savoriness to our soup. Gently poaching the browned chicken breasts in the broth, and then…
