Cheeseteaks! Mousse! Lots of Rice! These Are The Most Popular Recipes We Published in 2023 (2)

Unsurprisingly, your favorites corresponded to most of our big projects this year. We dipped into the world of French desserts, and also showed you how to make the most of your farmers market produce. New recipes from our Argentinian and Jamaican cuisine guides got a lot of attention, and we can't forget about 2023’s rice-centric Starch Madness that saw hits like Brazilian galinhada mineira and Vietnamese cơm tấm. You showed us what you loved most, from classics to projects to technique-driven dishes. And a fun fact about this year’s most popular recipes: Every one of our culinary staff—Daniel, Leah, and Genevieve, plus myself—managed to crack the top 20! So without further ado, here are the recipes that you (and us, too, really) kept coming back to.
