The Cuban sandwich (aka the Cubano) may only have a few ingredients, but when done right, it's a masterpiece of bread, meat, and cheese. A classic Cuban sandwich recipe calls for roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on pillowy Cuban bread. If you're in Tampa, salami goes in there too. The sandwich is often pressed in a plancha (Spanish for "cooking plate"), to make the outside hot and crispy and the cheese melted and gooey.

We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. I’ve eaten in Paris brasseries and Roman trattorias, but the meals I really dream about are pretty much all from a trip I took all across Japan. Perhaps it was all the raw fish, the winding grilled meat alleys, or the beauty that is Japanese breakfast — I knew from the first bites of each that I’d be slightly haunted (in a good way) by all the tastes I’d uncovered.

While many varieties of grilled seafood are delicious, there's a beautiful simplicity to shrimp. The shellfish checks many boxes of convenience: It's affordable, easy to prep, and cooks in minutes. Plus, it's easy to enhance its flavor with a simple marinade — the seafood's mild flavor does well with some aromatic infusion. However, you do need to be careful not to use any ingredients that might overwhelm or clash with your crustaceans. Thankfully, we have Jonathan Bautista, executive chef at Carlsbad, California steakhouse Ember & Rye to consult for some pointers.

For most people, barbeque has a season... in the summer. I would argue that it can be had at any time of the year, and I've been found many a times in the dead of winter outside running my smoker. For any leftovers, this makes a fantastic dish. Here's what you'll need to make 4 servings:

A good pizza sauce makes ALL the difference in the flavor and end result of your dish. Personally, I've not found any commercially processed pizza sauces that don't taste.... fake, so I made my own. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes in a can as they tend to taste a bit metallic, but you use what you've got and it's 1000 times better than storebought. Fresh tomatoes are in season right now though, so if you can get them fresh, more power to ya!

“Every mom cooks negimaki,” says Shota Nakajima, contestant on Top Chef season 18 and chef and owner of Taku in Seattle. “It’s a very classic thing that every Japanese person grows up with.” It’s easy to see why. This quick and easy appetizer features thinly sliced beef rolled around scallions and glazed in a sweet-and-savory teriyaki sauce. Perhaps the best part is that it comes together in only 20 minutes and can be assembled up to a day in advance.
