In a revolutionary new layout, each recipe appears as a visual walkthrough of preparing a complete meal, including any sides and salads.

There’s no advance prep required: Just gather your ingredients, pick up your knife, and follow the step-by-step photos until dinner is ready. You’ll become a faster cook as we show you when to prepare each ingredient during the cooking process for maximum efficiency (this is the way many seasoned pros cook at home).

Try the Za’atar Chicken with Pistachios, Brussels Sprouts, and Pomegranate; it achieves incredible flavor thanks to two popular Mediterranean seasonings. Or Garlicky Spaghetti with Basil and Broiled Tomatoes, a fresh update on aglio e olio, the classic Italian pantry dinner.
