You can’t have soul food without some good music and friends, so throw on some of your favorite tunes, and invite over your friends and family because you’ve fried up some amazingly light and crispy fish. Add your tartar sauce if you’ve got it, maybe some hush puppies, or just some sliced wheat bread and enjoy.

A bone-in ribeye is my favorite cut of steak, and I love grilling for special occasions. It is well marbled, flavorful, and the ultimate classic cut. Chimichurri sauce is one of those condiments that you can slather onto almost anything and pairs perfectly with a steak. I make a big batch and use it throughout the whole week. There is something about the fresh herbs and vinegar that makes this a bright, vibrant, highly flavored sauce.

Chicken Marsala is one of my dad’s favorite dishes. I learned to make this recipe by cooking it for him over time. This recipe has a really delicious balance of Marsala, mushrooms, garlic, and lemon. It’s an easy stovetop meal that can be made quickly, but is satisfying and rich in flavor.

This dish is an Italian American classic that’s full of flavor. I love to make this for my mother, who is from an Italian American family, because it reminds her of her childhood and going to family-owned Italian restaurants on the East Coast. It’s a take on eggplant Parmigiana that uses chicken instead of eggplant. The chicken is breaded and fried and layered with marinara, mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley. It’s an easy meal to make and celebrates the simple, wonderful flavors of tomatoes, garlic, and basil. The marinara sauce is so flavorful that I sometimes just make it to serve on pasta.

Cooking a leg of lamb can be intimidating, but you’ll be surprised at how quickly this comes together. It’s a great option for a weeknight get-together because you can season the meat a day or two ahead of time and then just fire up the grill. When purchasing a leg of lamb from the butcher counter, ask the butcher to debone and butterfly the leg for you. Serve it with roasted potatoes, grilled veggies, or a room-temperature pasta salad.

Roasted carrots are a crazy-simple side dish. There are a couple of things to remember to make them delicious: keep the oven hot enough to develop some caramelization; look for carrots that are consistent in size so they cook at the same rate; don’t worry about peeling them — a little scrub under running water does the trick. This recipe dresses the simple roasted carrots with a tasty sauce that’s tangy from vinegar and orange juice, with depth and sweetness from maple syrup.

As all good things take time and care, this recipe is a little bit of a “labor of love.” Make sure you set aside about an hour and a half of prep work and around an hour of cook time. It serves 6 people, maybe 4 if you're hungry!

This is an indoor adaptation of Italy’s famous Bistecca alla Fiorentina, which is traditionally cooked over live fire until very rare and seasoned with nothing else than coarse salt. When in Florence, seek out the original—which I was fortunate enough to experience with my parents and sister many years ago. The steak we were served was presented with a few rosemary sprigs on the platter, which I’ve used to make a dry rub for this version, along with lemony shallots and salty anchovies for doctoring each bite. Slow-roasting before browning is a method called “reverse sear,” and it’s excellent for thick cuts and big roasts because it allows the meat to climb gently to an optimal, even medium-rare, before quickly taking on color in a hot skillet. If you’re going to splurge on a big beautiful cut of meat, you really don’t want to overcook it!

It has become a tradition of mine to make this tomato soup at the beginning of the rainy season. As the weather shifts and our summer crops wind down, I love to capture the marvelous flavor of tomatoes one last time before the rain and frost move in. After dashing
around outside in the cold making sure we are ready for rain, there is nothing better than warming up with a hot bowl of homemade tomato soup. Making this soup takes a bit of time, but only minimal effort. It is made in a single pot, and you really let the oven do the work. The roasting process elevates the flavor of the tomatoes, bringing out an incredibly satisfying combination of sweetness and acidity.

Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts tend to maintain their moisture much better than their boneless, skinless counterparts. This recipe is an easy and delicious way to incorporate luxe truffles into everyday life. The truffle butter recipe used here goes a long way and can be stored in the freezer until you’re ready to use. For best results, prep the chicken breasts the night before and pair with a green salad, or roast a few veggies to serve alongside, and dinner is on the table in less than an hour! If truffle butter isn’t available, use plain butter or herbed butter as an easy substitute.
