Entertaining

Like your beloved bag of sour cream and onion chips, but make it mashed potatoes.

Seasoned like traditional tartare and punched up with extra acidity, earthy beets can taste (and look!) deliciously meaty.

This easy cocktail is budget booze’s highest calling. Cheap wine gets a makeover thanks to lemon, lots of ginger, and the caramelly complexity of cola.

Tangy, floral citrus soaks up dark, smoky caramel for a sweet, sticky sundae unlike any other.

A small batch of fridge pickles made with regular old carrot, onion, and fennel will bring out your inner homesteader.

Bursting with creamed spinach and cheese, and dressed with a glossy coat of ketchup, this is meatloaf 2.0.

A whole vanilla bean takes this supremely creamy, wonderfully rich, classic New York–style cheesecake to pro-level.
