Dear friend,
Cooking in December always feels a bit more fun: less of the must-make dishes of Thanksgiving and plenty of freedom to try new recipes just because they look or sound delicious. I hope youâll find time to bake bread (our Ultimate Cinnamon Buns, perhaps?), try a new soup, roast meat (our techniques turn inexpensive cuts fork-tender), and make wallet-friendly food gifts that will wow your friends. Youâll enjoy cooking more with recipes that are developed by test cooks, vetted by thousands of home cooks, and made clear and reliable in every way.

Beef Pot Pie
Meaty stew under a flaky crustâbeef pot pie is as comforting as it gets. After trying a lot of traditional recipes that landed somewhere between bland and blah, we went to work. For a flavorful cut of beef without a high price tag, chuck roast fits the bill. Browning just half of the beef before stewing imparts the rich, deep flavor of searing without overcrowding the pan and having to do two batches. Sautéed mushrooms and umami-rich pantry ingredients deliver savoriness. Make one of our pie crusts or use a store-bought crust to keep things easy. [Icon]

“So delicious! No changes made, no changes needed. I used the crust from the steak and ale pie recipe. We loved it.”

Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
Cauliflower wins our vote for the vegetable you can transform from kind of bland to very much amazing with the right recipes. We wanted browned, roasted florets with a cheesy, crispy, crunchy, stay-put coating of Parmesan. Getting the cheese to cling from the sheet pan to your fork and on to your mouth took some test kitchen ingenuity (and a few common pantry ingredients). Easy-peasy cheesy, and pairs well with all kinds of mains. [Icon]

Product Reviews
A key to this recipeâs success is using finely grated Parmesan cheese, which clings better than shredded or coarsely ground cheese. The test kitchenâs favorite rasp-style grater stays sharp, makes quick and easy work of all manner of grating and zesting tasks, and cleans up easily. At less than $15, itâs a bargain, too.

Millionaireâs Shortbread
The test kitchen has many iconic dessert recipes, but our Millionaireâs Shortbread is ALL CAPS-WORTHY SCRUMPTIOUS. The tender just-right crumbly shortbread base, the buttery sweet caramel layer, and the shiny chocolate âtop hatâ that snaps when you take a bite add up to cookie perfection. Our test cook rigorously researched winning techniques for making each layer, then developed easy step-by-step instructions for you. Follow them and hit the cookie jackpot. [Icon]

Test Kitchen Discovery
Our test cooks look at every variableâincluding even a few degrees of temperature variation between cooked caramelâwhen developing new, best-ever failproof test kitchen recipes. What we learned: Using different brands of a key ingredient results in texture differences, including some recipe fails due to the caramel breaking or separating during heating. By adding a dairy element, the caramel stays emulsified and the perfect consistency for these bars.
