  • This chicken recipe has several extra techniques above par for a truly gourmet experience, including a lemony brine — one of my favorite tricks — to ensure the chicken is moist and juicy after cooking it. Combined with roasted carrots, garlic whipped potatoes, a lemon-tinged ricotta and pan juices, this classic dinner is top notch.

  • Chunks of lean beef stewed with mushrooms in a velvety sour cream sauce and served over ribbons of egg noodles. This is one of those dishes that makes the kitchen smell heavenly. The recipe comes with instructions on how to turn this into a weekday meal by using the slow cooker or pressure cooker.

  • This is an under-30-minute dinner that exudes luxury. Despite common ingredients, this dish is sophisticated enough to be served in Eric Ripert’s Manhattan restaurant Le Bernadin (a jackets-required restaurant!). The creamy aioli sauce plays nicely on texture with flaky cod and fleshy mussels, served with a perfectly roasted red pepper and crusty bread.

  • Black bean soup is one of the most delicious and satisfying soups in the soup category. If you do an online search for a black bean soup recipe, they all have five stars. Why? Because black bean soup makes people happy. We top ours with Mexican crema and some crunchy corn kernels.

  • Nothing says comfort like gravy and noodles, and our mushroom stroganoff is rich with complex flavors. Organic shiitake mushrooms are the base for the sauce, which also has Dijon mustard, carrots, celery and sour cream, all served on top of a heap of egg noodles.
