Gorgonzola Chicken Breasts

Frisée often pops up in salads, but like its cousin escarole, it’s also great for cooking.

Recipes

Bulgur Veggie Burgers with Lime Mayonnaise

Most veggie burgers must have self-esteem issues, since they're always pretending to be something they're not. But these bulgur burgers don't try to hide their meatless nature and instead celebrate their grain-centric origins with wonderful texture and a hint of Middle Eastern spice.
Recipes

Merguez Lamb Patties with Golden Raisin Couscous

Merguez, the spicy lamb sausages of North Africa, are popular throughout France. These nearly labor-free patties are a quick way to re-create them in your kitchen. The sweetness of the raisin couscous contrasts nicely with the meat's deep spice.
Recipes

Seared Scallops with Tarragon-Butter Sauce

Beurre blanc—the classic French butter sauce—is a cinch to prepare and has a tendency to make just about anything taste better. This take on it uses the scallops' juices to add complexity.
Recipes

Fennel Soup with Orange Crème Fraîche and Croutons

With an earthy flavor punctuated by hints of orange and a smooth, velvety texture, this soup is perfect as a simple weeknight supper or as a starter for an elegant party.

Pork Tenderloin With Arugula Endive and Walnut Vinaigrette

Here, a garlic-packed vinaigrette is infused with caramelized sucs—pan drippings—from the roast pork, creating an uncanny fusion of nutty, meaty flavors.
Recipes

Roasted Chicken with Dijon Sauce

Adding Dijon to this sauce lends not only a nice kick but also body and richness—without resorting to lots of cream and butter (a shocking idea in an issue that sings the praises of French food, we know).
Recipes

Zucchini Rice Gratin

With golden cheese that yields to an abundance of roasted vegetables, this gratin is an ideal side dish, but it really doesn't need anything more than a green salad to make it a satisfying dinner.
