50 Recipes to Change the Way You Cook

In this 50-recipe special edition magazine issue, we highlight recipes that best illustrate Milk Street’s simpler, bolder approach to modern cooking. We look globally for solutions and techniques to make cooking easier. For example, we use bold-flavored ingredients, like fish sauce, pomegranate molasses or za’atar, to bring out maximum flavor in dishes with minimal effort. They’ll become go-to flavorings for you—trust us. And we break with western convention—like not searing our beef for stew—for an easier, faster, cleaner-tasting stew lightened with spices and lemon. We’ve covered the bases, from appetizers and salads to suppers and desserts, which are as perfect for hectic Tuesday night dinners as they are for company on the weekend.
