The simple comforts of cooking won’t cure the ailments of today and tomorrow, but it will make you feel better and at least you and your family will have something good to eat. Here are some of my go-to Fine Cooking recipes while I’m social distancing at home.
This collection is part of ourQuarantine Kitchenseries, spotlighting tips and recipes for home cooking during the coronavirus pandemic.

RecipeAsian-Glazed Turkey Meatball Lettuce Wraps
Although these meatballs are great as written in the lettuce wraps, I also like to serve them with coconut rice with the carrots as a side. It's also a good idea to make a double batch and freeze half for later. -
RecipeGreen Goddess Dressing
I keep a batch of this dressing on hand because it's not just delicious on salads, but also as dip (hello healthier snacking). -
RecipeCast-Iron Spatchcocked Chicken with Pastrami Spices
This is one of my go to chicken recipes. Spatchcocking is a brilliant technique as it allows the skin—all of the skin—to crisp up beautifully, and, since the chicken lays flat, it cooks in half the time. -
RecipeClassic Buttermilk Pancakes
Since I've been working from home, I've been making a double batch of these buttermilk pancakes. I cool the ones we don't eat, put them in single servings in zip-top bags, and store them in the refrigerator or freezer. After defrosting in the refrigerator overnight, just pop them into the toaster oven set at 350ºF for about 5 minutes. -
RecipeLemon Ricotta Gnocchi
Nothing says comfort more than homemade pasta, and these lemon ricotta gnocchi hit all the right notes. -
RecipeRich, Fudgy Brownies
This brownie recipe will never fail you, and who doesn't need some chocolate therapy right about now? Might be even better with some ice cream on top.
