Sweet and sour isn’t just for Asian food. Agrodolce, an Italian sweet and sour sauce made by reducing honey and vinegar with dried fruit elevates already delicious roasted winter squash into a side dish simple enough for a weeknight dinner and special enough for a holiday celebration.

Classic Carbonara is rich, decadent and delicious. Sweet pork, eggs and salty, sharp cheese blend with starchy pasta cooking water to make a creamy sauce. Fresh asparagus gives it a little spring lightness.

This simple dish reinvents a leftover tomato salad into a fresh, rich, one-dish summer. Sweet tomatoes, pungent herbs and sharp feta balance with full-flavored chicken thighs for a delicious meal with almost no work! Enjoy!

This Mediterranean-inspired chicken, lemon and egg soup is both rich and bright-tasting. It’s hearty enough to enjoy for lunch after a morning spent playing out in the snow, while the lemon and spinach will find you still enjoying it as the first daffodils push out of the ground.

Buttery Bartlett-style pears blend beautifully with Piccata - a sauce of butter, capers and lemon - served over crisp, pan fried chicken paillards.. This is the time to reach for those super-tender pears that have a couple of bruises on them. They'll make the smoothest sauce.
