The blogosphere’s sprawling universe of recipes is inspiring, diverse, and—let’s face it—a bit daunting. Our recipe roundup does all the heavy sifting to single out recent, mouthwatering recipes from our favorite blogs. All you have to do is click and cook! Green Grits [SE] In this recipe from Andrew Carmellini’s cookbook, American Flavor, a Southern classic gets spicy in the company of cilantro, chilies, and onions. Lamingtons [David Lebovitz] After a recent trip to Australia, David Lebovitz offers a recipe for Lamingtons, a tradition Australian dessert of moist sponge cake coated in chocolate icing and dusted with coconut. Honey–Almond Cantuccini [Culinate] Adopted from Maria Speck’s Ancient Grains for Modern Meals, these small biscotti, or cantuccini, are made with almond meal for extra flavor and crunch. Spinach–Truffle Mac [LAT] In this decadent take on a traditional comfort food, spinach and truffle oil are added to mac and cheese for a savory finish. Cider Vinegar–Braised Greens [Tasting Table] By braising collards in cider vinegar instead of water or stock, the greens are infused with tangy flavor. Noodles with Fried Scallions [Saveur] Get out of the Thanksgiving leftover rut and try your hand at some Taiwanese food. Salmon Steaks with Curried Fennel–Wine Sauce [F&W] Enjoy simply roasted salmon topped with curry-spiked sautéed fennel.
