Meatloaf à la Mom
With this palate pleaser, we’re off to a pretty strong start. But don’t worry, from glazing your perfectly seasoned mini loaves of beef and roasting the sweet root veggies, to making that delectable thyme gravy, we’ll walk you through every step, so there’s no room to fail. And our home cooks seem to agree — this meatloaf tastes just like home and has earned its first place in our collection of Top 10 Hard Recipes.
Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken
This is the perfect recipe if you want to challenge yourself and are looking to impress someone special (including yourself). Instead of serving a plain protein over plain rice, our chefs decided to step it up a notch: Tender chicken breasts wrapped in salty Italian prosciutto on a bed of creamy spinach and tomato risotto. Seasoned with the deep pine-like flavor of fresh sage, you’ll be over the moon after the first bite.
Pork D.I.Y. Dumplings
Everything tastes better when it comes in tiny, delicious pouches. And if you agree, you’re obviously a dumpling fan. In this deliciously difficult recipe, we’ll introduce you to the magic of dumpling making by folding tasty little mounts of ginger and soy infused ground pork into pre-cut wonton wrappers. Pan-fried to golden perfection and served with a quick-pickled slaw, take-out will be a thing of the past.

Shrimp and Chorizo Paella
Get ready for a little culinary excursion to sunny Spain and indulge in one of its most celebrated national dishes. Dig into a steaming bowl of golden paella and experience the delectable union of saffron and smoked paprika. And since we like being generous, you get double the protein and double the veggies: Perfectly seared shrimp and hearty pork chorizo with tender peas and juicy bits of tomato.
Sweet Heat Shrimp Tempura Bowls
If you’re a connoisseur of all things battered, get ready for a good crunch! Thanks to our tempura mix, you’ll conjure up some super crispy shrimp that go perfectly with our special sweet and savory sauce (think fruity apricot jam, hot Sriracha, and soy). To make a good thing better, we’ve added some fluffy rice, broccoli florets, and a quick-pickled cucumber tartare that cuts through the heat with a zing.
Steak Au Poivre
Whether you’re feeling kind of fancy on a weeknight or want to impress your guests during the holidays, this meal will make you feel like a real-deal chef in less than an hour. Steak Au Poivre (or peppered steak) is a French delicacy that gets its name from a creamy peppercorn sauce over tender sirloin steak. In this challenging recipe, you’ll be adding crispy Swedish-style baked potatoes and creamed kale.
Ultra-Creamy Risotto
In the mood for another perfectly cooked risotto? Just kidding, we know that you are. In this version, we’re combining the exquisite flavors of tender roasted artichoke hearts with the earthy notes of button mushrooms and toasted pine nuts. Folded into creamy parmesan rice, this dish is the pinnacle of risottos and should be passed down to your children.
Risotto alla Tex-Mex
Once you get the hang of cooking risotto, you’ll be able to make it in your sleep. But don’t get too comfortable! Because with our creative combinations, we’ll keep you inspired and on your toes. This surprising meal combines the rich and creamy texture of risotto with the bold flavors of Tex-Mex cuisine — we’re talking corn, bell pepper, jalapeño, and melty Monterey Jack cheese.
Shrimp Gyozas
Did you know that dumplings taste sooo much better when you fold them yourself? In this advanced recipe, the pre-cut wonton wrappers are ready when you are. All you have to do is make the filling by combining chopped shrimp and scallions with aromatic ginger and garlic. Build and seal your gyozas, give them a perfect golden sear in a sizzling hot pan, and serve with a crunchy edamame succotash and soy sauce.
