Dairy Free
Grilled Corn
Keep the husk on for perfectly steamed kernels. Grill it naked for sweeter nuggets.
Smashed Roasted Potatoes
These potatoes are typically roasted in a blazing wood-fired oven, but you can still get crispy, craggy edges in a home oven.
Salmon with Sriracha Sauce and Lime
This fish is topped with cilantro, but it's also great with pickled ginger.
Grilled Vegetables
Any combination of flame-kissed veggies brushed and tossed with this easy vinaigrette makes a deliciously smoky side.
Four Seasons Blend

Dairy-Free Lemon Crèmes With Oat-Thyme Crumble

Kielbasa and Cabbage Soup
Serve up the Polish pair as a hearty soup.
Pea, Radish, and Cabbage Slaw
Light, crunchy, and downright pretty, this fresh spring slaw will brighten any spread.
Kansas City-Style Baby Back Ribs

Bacon-Wrapped Trout
The bacon wrap is a genius way to secure flavorful fresh herbs inside the fish.
Caramelized Pork Rinds
In this addictive snack food, maple syrup creates an almost candy-like shell.
Crab Cake BLT
A long-standing Maryland favorite, the crab cake—plus fresh avocado and a dollop of Sriracha mayo—pumps up an iconic sandwich.
Grilled Potato Salad with Cornichons and Dill
This simple tangy-style potato salad is inspired by dill pickle-flavored potato chips.
Beet Cured Lox
A touch of horseradish gives this cured salmon recipe warmth and a bit of bite, while the beets give it earthy sweetness and vibrant color.
Plain Bagels
At Black Seed Bagels' shop in NYC, their wood-fire oven is critical to the bagel's shape, texture, and taste. Don't have one at home? No problem, we talked to head baker Dianna Daoheung about how to make the bagels in a conventional oven.
Broccoli Rabe Pasta with Golden Garlic
Broccoli rabe and pasta, crowned with golden shards of garlic and zapped with a touch of chile heat, is one of the fastest dinners to make, and definitely one of the most satisfying. Because broccoli rabe is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and cancer-fighting bionutrients, I like to double up on the greens. Those who find broccoli rabe a bit bitter—it is a cousin of mustard—will find that the bitterness is greatly tamed by boiling it in lots of salted water with the pasta. You can embellish this basic rendition with bacon or sausage, but it's pretty darn delicious just as it is.
Glazed Japanese Chicken Meatballs on Skewers
These skewered meatballs are a quintessential Japanese bar food, a great drinking snack that can be turned into a larger meal with rice. Flavored with plenty of garlic and ginger and brushed with a sweet-and-savory soy glaze, these meatballs are a great defense of ground chicken, which can be bland if not seasoned well.
Grilled Bloody Mary
Grilling fresh tomatoes concentrates their flavor, making them super delicious in this Bloody Mary mix.
Lemongrass Pork Patties With Vietnamese Dipping Sauce
Wrap slider-sized pork patties in tender lettuce leaves and serve with plenty of spicy sauce on the side for dipping.
