Chicken Marbella

Chicken Marbella is probably the most famous recipe to come out of the beloved Silver Palate Cookbook. It's a sweet-and-savory Mediterranean chicken dish made with prunes, olives, capers, garlic, wine, and vinegar—an unexpected combo that somehow just works. Growing up, it made regular appearances at our family dinners, especially during the Jewish holidays. To this day, my mom still makes it for special occasions. I hesitated to share the recipe at first, assuming many of you already had it tucked away somewhere. But then I realized—there's a whole new generation of home cooks who might not know it. The book came out in 1982, and to put that in perspective, I was only nine years old at the time!

Crispy Roasted Potatoes

This roasted potato recipe is a true go-to side dish: loved by everyone, easy to make, and pairs with just about anything. The only fussy part of the recipe is arranging the potatoes cut-side down in the pan, but it's totally worth it for that extra crispiness.

Chocolate mousse, or mousse au chocolat, is one of the easiest French desserts to make. Seriously, if you have a microwave, a hand mixer, and a spatula, you can whip up a batch that rivals any French restaurant's version—in just 20 minutes!
