Our Most Popular Recipes of April 2026

The sun is tickling our necks, the smell of cherry blossoms are wafting through the air, and dazzling new produce is popping up left, right, and center. Green asparagus, white asparagus, purple asparagus. Audibly crisp sugar snap peas, snow peas, English peas. So it comes as no surprise that our most popular recipes of the month reflect this verdant swing.

For a speedy dinner chock-full of slender haricot verts, make this Gochujang Chicken Stir-Fry. It’s finished in a spicy-sweet sauce that would make a rubber tire taste good. If you thought raw asparagus could not be delicious, let us convince you otherwise. Smashing the spears with a rolling pin and dressing them in lemon and olive oil magically tenderizes the otherwise tough veg. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth (of course you do), add this Strawberry Shortcake Roll from Bon Appétit Bake Club to your list. One reader reports, “This is the best cake I’ve ever made.”
