The most popular recipes of 2023
By The New York Times Cooking
We know — 2023 isn’t over yet. There are still many holiday parties and cookie swaps and family dinners to barrel through. But these recipes have been such major hits with our readers that we figure we’re good to share them now. For that holiday party, how about roasted cauliflower with crispy Parmesan, which works as either a crowd-pleasing veggie side or part of an appetizer spread? For the cookie swap, you’ll want to refer to our 2023 Cookie Week recipes, but any sweet treat would be perfect paired with a bubbly tinto de verano. (Yes, summer is in the drink’s name, but this refreshing mix of red wine and citrus soda is delightful year-round.) And you have several options for that family dinner: white chicken chili (above), shrimp tacos or this perfect eggplant Parmesan that’s already dressed in red and green.
Back to that holiday party: How about some cacio e pepe cheese puffs? Julia Moskin adapted this recipe from one by Ina Garten, who based her recipe on one by the Brooklyn chef Missy Robbins, so you know these black-peppery puffs have been perfected. They’ll be the first to go from the snack spread.
For something more substantial — though we would gladly make dinner out of appetizers, to be clear — Kay Chun’s recipe for pernil-style chicken thighs applies a garlicky, oregano-and-citrus rub to everyone’s favorite cut of chicken for a super flavorful sheet-pan dinner. (Vegetarians or vegans will want to check out this robust vegan jackfruit pernil, a recipe by Lyana Blount, adapted by Christina Morales.)
If you’re on salad duty, this tardivo salad with pistachio and citrus is downright elegant and surprisingly easy to prepare. No worries if you can’t find tardivo — though it’s the chicory used by Mary Attea, the executive chef at Raf’s, endives would be an excellent substitute for this recipe adapted by Nikita Richardson (whose name you may recognize from our Where to Eat newsletter).
And while December weekends are usually surrendered to said holiday parties and festive gatherings, we hope that you’ve set aside some quiet time for yourself. Maybe it’s just a lazy morning in pajamas with never-ending coffee, tucking into Hetty Lui McKinnon’s kimchi potato hash and eggs. Or maybe it’s a stolen Saturday night, just you, your favorite holiday movie and a tortoiseshell-topped vanilla crème brûlée. Mark Bittman’s five-star recipe makes four servings, but the custard-filled ramekins will keep in the fridge for a couple of days, and it’s not specified that those other three servings need to be for other people.

So, what is the most popular food in the world? According to research done in 2020, it's . . . pizza! Whether it's piled high with pepperoni, cheese, or other toppings, many people around the world reach for this marinara-covered pie come dinnertime.
Top Shelf: Ready-to-eat foods, such as leftovers, ready meals, deli cooked meats, and sandwiches, should go on the upper shelves so they are the furthest away from the bacteria of the raw foods on the lower shelves. Middle Shelf: Next, dairy and eggs should go in the middle shelf.
TOMATOES. Keep your tomatoes juicy, tasty and ready for your next Tomato and Ricotta Pizza by storing them at room temperature rather than in the fridge.
The best approach to ensure you get a variety of vitamins and minerals, and in the proper amounts, is to adopt a broad healthy diet. This involves an emphasis on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and legumes, low-fat protein, and dairy products.
The most commonly eaten foods vary depending on cultural preferences, but globally, staples like rice, wheat, corn, and potatoes are among the most consumed. Other commonly eaten foods include vegetables, fruits, meat (such as chicken, pork, and beef), fish, and dairy products like milk and cheese.
Using Harvard's Healthy Eating Plate as a guide, we recommend eating mostly vegetables, fruit, and whole grains, healthy fats, and healthy proteins. We suggest drinking water instead of sugary beverages, and we also address common dietary concerns such as salt and sodium, vitamins, and alcohol.
