"Medjool dates have the double benefit of being high in both fiber and chloride, a nutrient that helps our digestion, and we get a hit of copper from the pumpkin seeds." -JO

"I grew up with sticky toffee pudding and it’s only ever made me happy in life. As a child I remember asking Mum, Nan, or Grandad, 'What’s for dessert, what’s for dessert?' and if it was sticky toffee pudding, that was just the best news—no matter what else was for dinner! And being honest, not much has changed. The reason that this recipe is the best I’ve ever had is because it relies on the fantastic Medjool dates, though you can use any other really high-quality dates; with muscovado sugar, subtle spices, and Earl Grey tea, it makes for a winning combo. It’s great served in a bundt pan like this and looks pretty spectacular, but feel free to go old school and bake it in a pan if you prefer. Enjoy."— Jamie Oliver

The perfectly caramelized onions *almost* steal the show in this delicious steak sandwich.

"Vongole is a dish much loved by people all around the world. Ultimately, it’s a very simple pasta that celebrates the juice and flavor of clams, and if you cook it right, it’s a very delicious, classy, comforting pasta that hits the spot every time. I’ve gone for a subtle variation on the classic here, by adding fresh tomatoes and sun-dried tomato paste, then using rosé instead of white wine, to give you a beautiful blushing dish, but of course you can revert to the original if you prefer—they’re both equally brilliant." – Jamie Oliver

I've used the brilliant technique of brushing the burgers with mustard and a dash of Tabasco Chipotle sauce as they cook to build up an incredibly gnarly layer of seasoning. -Jamie Oliver

These parsley and fennel-laced beef meatballs are a fragrant and delicious dinner dish.

Dead simple, but delicious—tomato, olive and tuna pasta with lemon zest.

This decadent carbonara uses bacon and cheddar in place of the traditional pancetta and parmesan.

Go all in with the vegetables tonight—crisp grated potatoes, carrots, peas, spinach, feta and soft-boiled eggs for protein.

Only have one baking pan? No problem. Toss this chicken and vegetable dish together, put it in the oven, and forget it for an hour or so. Serve it up straight from the pan (side salad or rice optional).
