Recipes from the Los Angeles Times Test Kitchen

Your behind-the-scenes look at the Los Angeles Times Test Kitchen:
We test, on average, more than 600 recipes a year. Roughly 400 of these make it to print. That means you don't have to worry about a trial run before serving one of our recipes to company — rest assured, it should work the first time out of the gate.
You can follow our test kitchen triumphs and the occassional mishaps at our food blog, latimes.com/dailydish.
Finally, bookmark this page: The recipe collection that follows includes all of our newest recipes and is updated each week.
Drink recipes: A variety of beverages, such as iced Vietnamese coffee, hot chocolate, aquas frescas and Mother's Ruin punch. Cheers!
Appetizer recipes: Get the party started with chicken and pesto turnovers, cheese beignets, smoked salmon and shitakes on toast -- and much, much more.
Breakfast recipes: It's the most important meal of the day, and one you'll look forward to if you're serving bacon-maple biscuits, Square One Dining's French toast, homemade bagels or a cheese omelet with tomatillo sauce.
Bread, cracker & sandwich recipes: Carbs are good. We've got it all: Bagel-making secrets for home bakers, magical honey cakes and all sorts of biscuits. And don't fear the crackers -- they're easy to make.
Salad recipes: No boring greens need apply. We've got warm barley and kale salad with roasted pears and candied prosciutto, Brazilianesque black bean salad, grilled fig salad ...
Soup recipes: These recipes range from simple tomato soup to Kabocha squash soup with pomegranate seeds and spicy candied pecans.
Vegetarian & vegan recipes: Anything but boring. We've got salads, slaws, sauces, lasagna, enchiladas, tamales....
On the sides: These are the supporting actors for the food world. But as you take a spin through recipes such as rustic summer vegetable casserole, pork dumplings or rice salad with shrimp and arugula, you might consider casting them in a starring role.
Dessert recipes: Save room for something sweet. We've got cakes, cookies, aebleskivers, tarts, ice creams, all things chocolate and more.
Condiments: Sauces, cheeses, jams, dips, marinades, chutneys and salsas -- we've got it all, including sweet and sour lemon sauce, warm fig salsa, spinach dip, guacamole and spice mixtures.
