Food & Wine Simple Suppers
THE JOYS OF SUPPER
APPETIZERS & COCKTAILS • When hosting a dinner party, you want to keep each course as uncomplicated as possible. These simple starters can be part of a multicourse menu, or a few can constitute a spread of nibbles for more casual entertaining—enjoyed while sipping a drink that fits the season and occasion.
BEEF, PORK & LAMB • When the craving for something hearty hits—a perfectly charred steak, toothsome burger, crispy cutlet, or juicy pork chop—look no further than these simply delicious meats prepared in a world of styles and flavor profiles.
CHICKEN • This versatile bird can be prepared in so many different ways—whole, cut-up, just legs, or thighs, or breasts, or wings, roasted, grilled, poached, pan-fried, and more—and with a world of flavor profiles, you could eat it every night for a week and never elicit the question: “Chicken, again?”
MEATLESS • With many of us trying to eat less meat these days, these recipes sourced from chefs leaning into the exciting textures and flavors that plants offer will help you make nourishing, delicious, satisfying meals. Here, find crispy cheese-and-greens tacos, charred veggie steaks, Korean-inspired tofu stew—and much more.
FISH & SHELLFISH • The world’s oceans, rivers, lakes, and streams yield a bounty of fresh fish and shellfish that can be prepared in myriad ways—just a few of which you’ll find here, from the simplest hazelnut-crusted sole, to extra-crispy fish and chips, to a simple but elegant dish of seared scallops in lemon-butter-caper sauce.
PASTA, GRAINS & EGGS • These three simple ingredients are among the most versatile in your kitchen—and all make a flexible foundation for a satisfying dinner. Their universal appeal is seen—and enthusiastically tasted—in these around-the-world recipes.
MAIN-DISH SALADS, SANDWICHES & PIZZAS • The ultimate in casual cooking and eating is tossing together a few beautiful ingredients from the farmers market plus a protein for a big, crisp, cool seasonal salad—or tucking into something yummy you can eat with your hands.
SIDES • Sometimes the epitome of a fuss-free meal is a piece of meat, poultry, or fish, simply seasoned and grilled, roasted, or cooked in a skillet on the stovetop, paired with a side that’s more interesting than spring mix tossed with bottled dressing or some steamed vegetables. These recipes are for those times.
DESSERTS • Keeping things simple—whether for a weeknight meal or a weekend dinner party—doesn’t preclude dessert. These pies, cakes, crisps, crumbles, fruit desserts, and frozen delights are a fuss-free way to cap off any meal, anytime.
