Since we printed our first issue in 1956, the Bon Appétit test kitchen has published tens of thousands of recipes. It would take literal decades to cook them all. So we combed our enormous archive and curated the 56 recipes you must make this year.
We’ve got classics, like a tried-and-true Caesar salad and the only chocolate chip cookies you’ll ever need. We’ve also got reader favorites and sleeper hits, showing what it means to be a Bon Appétit cook today: Halal Cart Chicken Salad to zhuzh up a rotisserie bird, Caramelized Cabbage that one fan describes as “PERFECTION,” Gochujang Sloppy Joes to win game day, Giant Panna Cotta to make your neighbors ooh and aah, and more.
Come back to this list all year, whether you’re family-famous for pét-nat-fueled dinner parties (can we come?) or still figuring out how to braise beans (look no further than our marinated canned ones). For every occasion there’s a highly recommended, obsessively tested winner waiting for you.
You can find all these—and thousands more too—in our Epicurious iOS app.
