Soft, pillowy bao buns are filled with tender bulgogi beef, marinated in a savory-sweet blend that caramelizes beautifully when warmed. Each bite is layered with bright, tangy pickled slaw for crunch and contrast, while a swipe of gochujang mayo adds a creamy, slightly spicy kick. Finished with fresh cilantro, this build-your-own kit delivers a perfect balance of bold flavor, texture, and freshness in every bite.
To Enjoy at Its Best
Warm the bulgogi until hot and juicy, then gently heat the bao buns wrapped in a damp paper towel until soft and steamy, taking care not to overheat. Spread a layer of gochujang mayo inside each bun, add the warm beef, and top with the chilled pickled slaw and freshly minced cilantro. Finish with an extra drizzle of sauce if desired, and serve immediately while the buns are tender and the flavors are vibrant and balanced.
Rigatoni is baked in a luxurious zucchini béchamel made from roasted zucchini, white wine, lemon, yogurt, and crème fraîche, creating a sauce that is rich, silky, and surprisingly light. Melted provolone adds a savory depth, while Calabrian chilies bring a subtle warmth that balances the creamy richness. Finished with toasted Parmesan breadcrumbs for a golden crunch and served alongside roasted cauliflower, this dish layers comforting flavors, bright acidity, and satisfying texture in every bite.
To Enjoy at Its Best
Reheat the rigatoni uncovered in a 400°F oven until bubbling hot and beautifully golden on top, allowing the cheese and sauce to develop a lightly caramelized finish. Warm the roasted cauliflower separately until heated through and lightly crisp around the edges. Plate the pasta and finish with the toasted Parmesan breadcrumbs just before serving to preserve their crunch. Serve the roasted cauliflower alongside for a simple, flavorful contrast to the creamy baked rigatoni.
Crisp romaine lettuce tossed in creamy Caesar dressing and layered with savory sundried tomatoes, crunchy herb-seasoned croutons, shaved Parmesan, and tangy pickled onions. A bold, flavorful twist on a classic Caesar with the perfect balance of richness, brightness, and crunch.
Vibrant broccolini is quickly charred to bring out its natural sweetness and a touch of smoky depth, creating tender stems with crisp, caramelized edges. It’s layered over a silky burnt scallion whipped feta, rich and savory with a subtle, roasted onion note. A bright anchovy vinaigrette adds a punch of umami and acidity, while candied pecans bring a warm, sweet crunch. Bold and balanced, this dish delivers a striking combination of smoky, creamy, tangy, and crisp textures.
To Enjoy at Its Best
Let the whipped feta come to room temperature so it spreads smoothly. Quickly char the broccolini in a hot pan until just tender with lightly crisp edges. Spread the whipped feta onto your plate as a base, then arrange the broccolini over the top. Drizzle with the anchovy vinaigrette and finish with candied pecans for a layered, flavorful finish. Serve immediately while warm and vibrant.
