Add bright honey mustard and flaky puff pastry to the classic ham-and-Swiss combo and you’ve got a home-run party snack (or even easy weeknight dinner).

While we would happily eat a plain slice of crispy fried bread, one piled with a creamy curried egg salad and herbs is way more exciting. This egg salad is ultra-lush thanks to Kewpie mayonnaise, which is made with egg yolks only (traditional mayo uses whole eggs). It’s offset with fragrant, earthy curry powder, fresh […]

How to take olives from snack to PARTY snack? Buy pre-stuffed olives, then coat them in panko, fry until deep golden brown, and serve with Calabrian chile sauce. Pre-stuffed olives—we like them with garlic or cheese—make this appetizer easier, but feel free to switch up the type of olive you use and experiment with different […]

This take on the classic Peruvian seafood dish of steamed mussels is always a hit at Danielle Bell and Pablo Osorio’s de Porres Dinner Series events.

First, the chicken is marinated overnight in a buttermilk mixture that’s supercharged with finely chopped preserved lemon (if you don’t have preserved lemon, just double the lemon zest and add an extra pinch of salt). Then […]

To turn hard-boiled eggs into an impressive snack for company, dress them up with a spoonful of rémoulade, the classic sauce of mayonnaise, herbs, capers, cornichons, and “just enough” anchovies. If you’re too short on time to make a fancy arrangement, just set the unshelled hard-boiled eggs in a bowl, spoon rémoulade in another, and […]
