Recipe: Salumi-Braised Beans

In this rich and flavorful dish from chef Scott Romano, navy beans slowly braise on the stove top, in the company of four types of diced cured meat: guanciale, cacciatore, prosciutto, and chorizo. Enjoy it with some crusty bread for mopping up the buttery, creamy juices. Get the recipe here.
Valentine's Day Recipe: Toffee Bread Pudding with Clotted Cream and Caramel

This Valentine's Day, rather than bumping elbows with other couples in close quarters at the latest in-demand restaurant, cuddle up at home with your sweetheart and this indulgent take on bread pudding from Brian Reyelt. The Boston-based chef uses a mixture of custard and buttery croissants to build the bulk of the dessert, then finishes it with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a crowning of clotted cream. We love the tiny shards of chocolate toffee that hide among the decadent layers of dough. It's fun to excavate them with a spoon—much more fun than trying to secure a restaurant reservation. Get the recipe here.

Valentine's Day Recipe: Riesling-Poached Pineapple with Rosemary Whipped Cream and Pink Peppercorns

Looking for an alternative to chocolate overload this Valentine's Day? Try this light and refreshing dessert from Denver-based chef Matt Selby. Cubes of pineapple are gently cooked in a sweet mixture of sugar, vanilla, and Riesling, whose high acidity plays nicely with the fruit's intense tanginess. An earthy rosemary-infused whipped cream and a pinch of lightly crushed pink peppercorns add depth to this elegant and floral dish. Get the recipe here.
