Look, I used to think creamy broccoli soup was either loaded with cream and butter I couldn’t justify, or tasted like hot vegetable water.

Look, I’m not claiming to be a travel chef, but this Greek Lemon Chicken has genuinely transported me to a sun-soaked taverna—at least in my head while I’m standing in my kitchen.

Then I discovered that a screaming hot pan and a little char could turn it into something I actually wanted to eat. Add some garlic, pine nuts, and lemon, and suddenly I’m the person sneaking extra servings onto my…

Look, I burned my first batch of poblanos pretty spectacularly. But that’s kind of the point—you want that char, that slight char anyway, and once I stopped overthinking it, these became one of my go-to weeknight dinners.
