Exploring Delicious Recipes from Bon Appétit

April: A Spring Full of Flavor

The latest issue of Bon Appétit takes us on a culinary journey from Mexico City in search of the best gorditas, to Hong Kong exploring cha chaan tengs, and to a crossroads in Wyoming where crispy naan and biryani await. The team at Diaspora Co. also shares their journey through India and Sri Lanka as they create their debut cookbook. All of this enticing content, along with over 15 must-keep recipes, is featured in this issue.

Simple Recipes for Busy Nights

Start with some delicious dishes from Test Kitchen editor Rebecca Firkser. For instance, the spicy tuna melt, where tuna salad is mixed with kimchi and soy sauce—familiar ingredients that bring a vibrant kick of spice and umami. Next up is the lasagna noodle soup, featuring tomatoes and topped with a layer of seasoned ricotta that will leave you completely satisfied.

Fresh Spring Ingredients

In April, we’re also diving into fresh spring produce. We highlight 10 new seasonal dishes to help you transition from the lingering chill to sunny days. Among these are a cheesy baked pasta with striking onion pieces, honey-mustard glazed salmon paired with roasted radishes and potatoes, and a crispy cheese galette featuring canned artichokes and asparagus.

Sweet Desserts

When it comes to desserts, we have some enticing choices from Test Kitchen editor Shilpa Uskokovic. You won’t want to miss the Earl Grey chocolate cupcakes topped with tangy blackberry frosting. Or try the whipped cream roll with strawberries, a favorite that has become a popular birthday treat among the staff.
