Hot Honey Chicken
Breaded with a seasoned cornflake mixture then baked, these chicken cutlets are spicy and sweet thanks to a drizzle of homemade hot honey. Making hot honey at home is simple and only requires a few pantry ingredients, but feel free to use your favorite store-bought brand if you have some handy. For the most tender, evenly cooked chicken, start by pounding your boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a meat tenderizer until they are the same thickness all over. You’ll bread the chicken in a cornflake mixture spiced with paprika, onion powder and garlic powder, then bake it on racks set over a sheet tray, allowing air to flow all around the chicken to ensure it crisps on all sides. Enjoy the cutlets on a bun, tucked into a sandwich or on their own with a side of coleslaw or potato salad. To prepare ahead of time and store the cutlets in the freezer, arrange them in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and then wrap in foil.

Cardamom Coffee Banana Bread
Sheela Prakash · NYT Cooking

Here, the couple transforms a humble banana bread, perfuming it with extra warmth, while chopped dark chocolate adds richness.

Regina Schrambling · NYT Cooking
Sometimes the most humble ingredients make for the finest of meals, as Regina Schrambling wrote in 1988. Growing up in a tiny Arizona town among many Mexican neighbors, Ms. Schrambling learned early on of the rich flavors that can be coaxed from the simplest food. This ropa vieja, from the chef Zarela Martinez, embodies that philosophy. Garlic and peppercorns infuse a flank steak with flavor, which is then cooked shortly with a mixture of sautéed garlic, onions and poblano peppers. Hot, tucked into a tortilla, it’s a testament to the power of a long cook. Regina Schrambling
Oaxacan Yellow Mole Filling

Oaxaca is the place where they invented mole sauce, "that perfect specimen of Mexican cooking," according to Ana M. de Benitez in "Pre-Hispanic Cooking." This is also where the natives carve wonderful mythological creatures and eat their tamales steamed in banana leaves (unlike anywhere else in Mexico). Molly O'Neill
