I’m definitely a so-many-recipes-so-little-time guy, so I’m usually more interested in trying something new than making something again, no matter how good it is. That said, among the recipes in the Fine Cooking archive, there are a number dishes that I continue to make–repeatedly. They’ve become favorites among my family and friends.

Recipe
Penne alla Vodka
Being the parent of a fussy eater is not fun, but having this recipe in my back pocket has made many a dinner success. No idea why this one resonated with the fussy eater, but it continues to work. -
Recipe
Classic Buttermilk Pancakes
I have no need for another pancake recipe ever. I typically split the batter: one half gets chocolate chips (fussy eater) and one half gets shredded cheese (usually a sharp Cheddar). -
Recipe
Black Bean Soup with Sweet Potatoes
Black bean soup is a great cool-weather dinner, and this one has a couple of surprise notes: sweet potatoes and a hint of aniseed. -
Recipe
Creamy Elote-Style Corn Casserole
Corn, lime juice, garlic, Cotija cheese, chili powder, mayo. Perfect alongside fish tacos. -
Recipe
No-Bake Chocolate Mousse Pie
So easy to make (just six ingredients!), and phenomenally delicious. -
Recipe
Pea-Mint-Sunflower Seed Pesto
I’m the only one in my house who likes peas, so I make this pesto for myself. It’s great on pasta, but I also like to spread it on toast and top it with a fried egg and some big curls of Parmigiano-Reggiano. -
Recipe

从假日烘干问题,但伟大的全年瞧ng. Bonus in our current environment: There's no flour necessary for these cookies. -

Ultimate Fudgy Brownies
Of all the recipes Fine Cooking has published, this is the one I’ve made the most. I can’t begin to imagine the volume of butter, flour, and sugar that I’ve used making batch after batch of these perfect brownies. They’re wildly adaptable: I’ve made made them with nuts and chopped chocolate. I’ve glazed them. I’ve frosted them. I’ve baked them on cookie crusts (chocolate graham crackers FTW). One time, I put half the batter in the pan, laid Pop Tarts over the batter, and then topped the Pop Tarts with the rest of the batter. IMO, this recipe is bulletproof. All hail Ultimate Fudgy Brownies!
