After a quarter century in the food business, though, Erickson sensed that she\u2019d lost touch with the pleasures of creativity and cooking. This honey of a book reminds us that cooking, even the routine kind, has a touch of art. Or at least improvisation. \u201cAn adage suggests that you don\u2019t try cooking a dish for the first time with guests coming over,\u201d Erickson writes in a chapter about Sunday dinners, \u201cbut I do it all the time. I say if you have the correct sort of guests \u2026 you should go ahead and try something new for them.

(Chearno\u2019s untimely death this past summer still has colleagues in shock.) Eating and drinking there is about <em>being there<\/em> and basking in the place\u2019s curation of wine and music and the art of the vibe, but if you can\u2019t be there, this cookbook serves as a lovely artifact. The menu at the Four Horsemen has never been a pretentious one, so it makes sense that chef Nick Curtola\u2019s recipes easily segue into the home kitchen. You\u2019ll find salads such as romaine hearts with daikon radish and mint, and main dishes like a fantastic poached chicken with jasmine rice and green garlic broth. (Personally, I want the butterscotch budino with whipped cream and hazelnuts all the time.) Yet this volume gives us something deeper, charting the history of the place\u2014its founding, architectural plans, renovations, menu development\u2014and conveying how hard, how <em>infinitely hard<\/em>, it can be to build and operate a restaurant of this caliber. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-ad-exclude=\"(min-width: 90rem)\" data-embed=\"embed-product\" size=\"large\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-journey-content=\"true\" id=\"slide-4\" data-anchor-id=\"slide-4\" data-journey-listicle-slide=\"true\">\n<div size=\"large\">\n<div>\n<p>4<\/p>\n<h2>Recipes Crumbs: Cookies and Sweets from Around the World<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-theme-key=\"base-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1838668861?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" aria-label=\"$40 at Amazon for Crumbs: Cookies and Sweets from Around the World\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1838668861\" data-product-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1838668861\" data-affiliate=\"true\" data-affiliate-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1838668861?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" data-affiliate-network=\"{\"afflink_redirect\":\"\/_p\/afflink\/qFKl\/amazon-crumbs-cookies-and-sweets-from\",\"site_id\":\"8b6b0f67-bcde-4d9d-86c6-dedff1abae12\",\"network\":{\"name\":\"Amazon\"},\"metadata\":{\"links\":{\"default\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1838668861?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\",\"sem\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1838668861?tag=esq-lift-20\",\"social\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1838668861?tag=esq-soc-lift-20\"}}}\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"$40 at Amazon\" data-vars-ga-media-role=\"1\" data-vars-ga-media-type=\"Slide\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1838668861\" data-vars-ga-product-id=\"6c4927bd-941f-45f0-86bb-b21ca1684354\" data-vars-ga-product-price=\"$39.88\" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id=\"e618a8ad-7fc1-4fbb-8237-c3e931fce060\" data-vars-ga-product-sem3-category=\"Cookie Baking\" data-vars-ga-link-treatment=\"sale | On Sale\" data-vars-ga-sku=\"1838668861\" data-vars-ga-magento-tracking=\"1\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img  alt=\"recipes Crumbs: Cookies and Sweets from Around the World\" title=\"recipes Crumbs: Cookies and Sweets from Around the World\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1729508630-91p1MM7u8DL.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&#038;resize=980:*\" width=\"1548\" height=\"2314\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Let\u2019s get to some sweets.

One thing\u2019s clear: Healthy eating doesn\u2019t have to mean a lousy culinary experience. But what makes this different from the 8,000 other vegetarian and vegan cookbooks? Scope. It is a compendium of global recipes edited by Joe Yonan, who in his role as the food and dining editor at <em>The<\/em> <em>Washington Post<\/em> has encountered many overlapping strains of plant-based cooking: \u201chippie, post-punk, and cutting edge. I see comfort, wellness, natural and whole foods, African diasporic, Middle Eastern,\u201d and on throughout the rest of the globe. Yonan\u2019s aim is to help \u201ccodify plant-based cooking as not a lifestyle, not a philosophy, but \u2026 a cuisine.\u201d With that in mind, he has delivered a colossal volume, crammed with one banging recipe after another, including crispy fried tofu nuggets with ranch dressing and a beet ceviche made with dried seaweed stock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-ad-exclude=\"(min-width: 90rem)\" data-embed=\"embed-product\" size=\"large\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-19\" data-journey-content=\"true\" id=\"slide-6\" data-anchor-id=\"slide-6\" data-journey-listicle-slide=\"true\">\n<div size=\"large\">\n<div>\n<p>6<\/p>\n<h2>Recipes Sift: The Elements of Great Baking<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-theme-key=\"base-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0593797124?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" aria-label=\"$33 at Amazon for Sift: The Elements of Great Baking\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0593797124\" data-product-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0593797124\" data-affiliate=\"true\" data-affiliate-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0593797124?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" data-affiliate-network=\"{\"afflink_redirect\":\"\/_p\/afflink\/qFKe\/amazon-sift-the-elements-of-great\",\"site_id\":\"8b6b0f67-bcde-4d9d-86c6-dedff1abae12\",\"network\":{\"name\":\"Amazon\"},\"metadata\":{\"links\":{\"default\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0593797124?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\",\"sem\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0593797124?tag=esq-lift-20\",\"social\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0593797124?tag=esq-soc-lift-20\"}}}\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"$33 at Amazon\" data-vars-ga-media-role=\"1\" data-vars-ga-media-type=\"Slide\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0593797124\" data-vars-ga-product-id=\"da5bad98-7c19-44e7-b76a-01dda627c1a6\" data-vars-ga-product-price=\"$33.29\" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id=\"5e092708-1a67-4733-96e0-a55e1018893f\" data-vars-ga-product-sem3-category=\"Pastry Baking\" data-vars-ga-link-treatment=\"sale | On Sale\" data-vars-ga-sku=\"0593797124\" data-vars-ga-magento-tracking=\"1\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img  alt=\"recipes Sift: The Elements of Great Baking\" title=\"recipes Sift: The Elements of Great Baking\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1733200328-91P2s7nFb2L.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&#038;resize=980:*\" width=\"1904\" height=\"2560\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Okay, let\u2019s get this out of the way: This is not for the novice or someone looking for snappy, super-easy recipes.

The first 115 pages represent a baking primer on everything from yeast and ferments to emulsions and coagulation\u2014and that\u2019s before we even get to the recipes. Lamb, a London-based writer who trained with Dominique Ansel and Yotam Ottolenghi, might seem intimidatingly meticulous at first, even to confident bakers. (She turns banana pudding into layered cake.) Take the leap, though, and you\u2019ll find a gorgeous salted-vanilla-and-pistachio layer cake with lemon syrup (which I can\u2019t stop thinking about), as well as a baked lemon-custard br\u00fbl\u00e9e, a wonderful marriage of caramel and citrus. Lamb inspires readers to step up and try them all.

Sakai uses it as a verb. If you want to wafu a sauce, maybe you add a tablespoon of miso to Bolognese, as she does. In this book, she uses the wafu approach to non-Japanese dishes, so we\u2019re treated to a mind-bending twist on apple pie\u2014a slab pie variation that\u2019s wafu\u2019d with miso plus an ornate way of arranging the crust. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-ad-exclude=\"(min-width: 90rem)\" data-embed=\"embed-product\" size=\"large\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-21\" data-journey-content=\"true\" id=\"slide-8\" data-anchor-id=\"slide-8\" data-journey-listicle-slide=\"true\">\n<div size=\"large\">\n<div>\n<p>8<\/p>\n<h2>Recipes My Egypt: Cooking from My Roots [A Cookbook]<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-theme-key=\"base-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0316429783?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" aria-label=\"$28 at Amazon for My Egypt: Cooking from My Roots [A Cookbook]\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0316429783\" data-product-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0316429783\" data-affiliate=\"true\" data-affiliate-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0316429783?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" data-affiliate-network=\"{\"afflink_redirect\":\"\/_p\/afflink\/qFKI\/amazon-my-egypt-cooking-from-my\",\"site_id\":\"8b6b0f67-bcde-4d9d-86c6-dedff1abae12\",\"network\":{\"name\":\"Amazon\"},\"metadata\":{\"links\":{\"default\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0316429783?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\",\"sem\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0316429783?tag=esq-lift-20\",\"social\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0316429783?tag=esq-soc-lift-20\"}}}\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"$28 at Amazon\" data-vars-ga-media-role=\"1\" data-vars-ga-media-type=\"Slide\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0316429783\" data-vars-ga-product-id=\"9e3ef454-e9d3-41aa-b676-97f5f6620593\" data-vars-ga-product-price=\"$27.80\" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id=\"2bedd0e2-de44-4b81-9747-8a60fb7403df\" data-vars-ga-product-sem3-category=\"Gourmet Cooking\" data-vars-ga-link-treatment=\"sale | On Sale\" data-vars-ga-sku=\"0316429783\" data-vars-ga-magento-tracking=\"1\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img  alt=\"recipes My Egypt: Cooking from My Roots [A Cookbook]\" title=\"recipes My Egypt: Cooking from My Roots [A Cookbook]\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1734455284-91CJff7A0iL.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&#038;resize=980:*\" width=\"1760\" height=\"2560\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This book makes me want to travel to Egypt. It opens with a series of photographic spreads that hit you at a visceral level. It\u2019s not just the sun-soaked locales that stay with you but the faces\u2014of fishermen, bakers, butchers\u2014that bring the culture to life. The book comes from Michael Mina, the acclaimed chef and restaurateur who owns more than 40 restaurants worldwide. Interestingly, Mina, who was born in Cairo, didn\u2019t often dip into his Egyptian culinary heritage on the public stage until the past decade. In a thoughtful introduction, he recalls family gatherings, 40 strong, with an aching amount of offerings\u2014dips, spreads, dried fruits, nuts, stuffed grape leaves. \u201cThat\u2019s what it was all about,\u201d he writes. \u201cFood on the table, all day long, all of us spending time together. People would cry, fight, laugh, joke, all in the same day, dramatic scenes that ended in hugs and plans for the next barbecue.\u201d There\u2019s plenty of seafood and grilled meat in this book\u2014\u201cIn Egypt, smoky char acts as seasoning for grilled kofta and poultry,\u201d Mina explains. But I\u2019m especially impressed by the subtle pleasure of dishes such as okra with shallots and chile; pumpkin-and-red-lentil soup; lemon potatoes; and lime popsicles with mint and white peach. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div data-journey-unblur=\"true\">\n<p>Advertisement &#8211; Continue Reading Below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section data-ad-index=\"4\">\n<div data-ad-exclude=\"(min-width: 90rem)\" data-embed=\"embed-product\" size=\"large\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-22\" data-journey-content=\"true\" id=\"slide-9\" data-anchor-id=\"slide-9\" data-journey-listicle-slide=\"true\">\n<div size=\"large\">\n<div>\n<p>9<\/p>\n<h2>Recipes Why I Cook<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-theme-key=\"base-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1648291287?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" aria-label=\"$30 at Amazon for Why I Cook\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1648291287\" data-product-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1648291287\" data-affiliate=\"true\" data-affiliate-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1648291287?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" data-affiliate-network=\"{\"afflink_redirect\":\"\/_p\/afflink\/qFGz\/amazon-why-i-cook\",\"site_id\":\"8b6b0f67-bcde-4d9d-86c6-dedff1abae12\",\"network\":{\"name\":\"Amazon\"},\"metadata\":{\"links\":{\"default\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1648291287?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\",\"sem\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1648291287?tag=esq-lift-20\",\"social\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1648291287?tag=esq-soc-lift-20\"}}}\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"$30 at Amazon\" data-vars-ga-media-role=\"1\" data-vars-ga-media-type=\"Slide\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1648291287\" data-vars-ga-product-brand=\"Artisan\" data-vars-ga-product-id=\"72ad90be-9d15-41f9-b724-1db447f67095\" data-vars-ga-product-price=\"$29.60\" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id=\"71689815-c8c5-4cd5-93e3-f2b05d333402\" data-vars-ga-product-sem3-brand=\"Artisan\" data-vars-ga-product-sem3-category=\"Television Performer Biographies\" data-vars-ga-link-treatment=\"sale | On Sale\" data-vars-ga-sku=\"1648291287\" data-vars-ga-magento-tracking=\"1\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img  alt=\"recipes Why I Cook\" title=\"recipes Why I Cook\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1734454594-91Fp4DaDAL.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&#038;resize=980:*\" width=\"1813\" height=\"2560\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This frank and funny book\u2014cowritten by Esquire contributor Joshua David Stein\u2014represents a pleasing hybrid from the <em>Top Chef<\/em> majordomo, blending memoir with irresistible recipes.

We\u2019re not talking about traditionally successful foodies with big followings on Instagram but rather folks whose stars have risen through their social-media platforms. Among that bunch is Henry Laporte, who\u2019s been bringing us to our knees with his hellacious, mouthwatering sandwich creations and easy, amiable charm. His first book, <em>Salt Hank<\/em>, ventures beyond sandwiches with comic-book bigness (aided greatly by Ed Anderson\u2019s vibrant photography and Laura Palese\u2019s clean art design). From walking tacos to steak tartare to bang bang shrimp tacos, this is bold, aggressive fare. Accompanied by plenty of photos of a mustachioed, smiling Laporte, the book is a vibe. And don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s got sandwiches: spicy vodka parm, hot cod, and a French dip to die for.

Bring \u2019em on. <em>Greekish <\/em>is for anyone and everyone: perfect for those who already love Greek cuisine or a lovely introduction for those just starting out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-ad-exclude=\"(min-width: 90rem)\" data-embed=\"embed-product\" size=\"large\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-27\" data-journey-content=\"true\" id=\"slide-14\" data-anchor-id=\"slide-14\" data-journey-listicle-slide=\"true\">\n<div size=\"large\">\n<div>\n<p>14<\/p>\n<h2>Recipes Ni\u00e7oise: Market-Inspired Cooking from France\u2019s Sunniest City<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-theme-key=\"base-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1324021160?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" aria-label=\"$40 at Amazon for The Contemporary African Kitchen: Home Cooking Recipes from the Leading Chefs of Africa\"33 data-href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1324021160\" data-product-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1324021160\" data-affiliate=\"true\" data-affiliate-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1324021160?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" data-affiliate-network=\"{\"afflink_redirect\":\"\/_p\/afflink\/lERn\/amazon-nicoise-market-inspired-cooking-from-france-s\",\"site_id\":\"8b6b0f67-bcde-4d9d-86c6-dedff1abae12\",\"network\":{\"name\":\"Amazon\"},\"metadata\":{\"links\":{\"default\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1324021160?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\",\"sem\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1324021160?tag=esq-lift-20\",\"social\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1324021160?tag=esq-soc-lift-20\"}}}\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"$27 at Amazon\" data-vars-ga-media-role=\"1\" data-vars-ga-media-type=\"Slide\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1324021160\" data-vars-ga-product-id=\"158ded2a-729f-43a3-9d13-6597d2f19c2c\" data-vars-ga-product-price=\"$26.59\" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id=\"0900b3d8-3eb4-43b9-98b0-3d2f8a90aaf7\" data-vars-ga-product-sem3-category=\"Vegetable Cooking\" data-vars-ga-link-treatment=\"sale | On Sale\" data-vars-ga-sku=\"1324021160\" data-vars-ga-magento-tracking=\"1\"><\/p>\n<div data-optimizely=\"product-image-container\">\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.esquire.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/esquire\/static\/images\/badges\/on-sale.839d796.svg\" alt=\"recipes On Sale\" title=\"recipes On Sale\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p><img  alt=\"recipes Ni\u00e7oise: Market-Inspired Cooking from France\u2019s Sunniest City\" title=\"recipes Ni\u00e7oise: Market-Inspired Cooking from France\u2019s Sunniest City\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1725979291-81kvgBc0JzL.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&#038;resize=980:*\" width=\"2062\" height=\"2560\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Gorgeous and formidable, while not in the least bit intimidating or stuffy, Rosa Jackson\u2019s exploration of food and cooking in Nice is not only one of the best cookbooks of 2024, but it\u2019s bound to have a place in your library for years to come.

I\u2019m leaving room after dinner for the classic rustic plum tart\u2014one of many fine desserts you\u2019ll find here.

The book feels <em>good<\/em>. Inside, we find Shu Han Lee\u2019s straightforward dive into the food of Singapore. A few personal and family photographs are interspersed throughout, and while Lee briefly details what led her to cooking, the majority of the book is concerned not with historical or personal digressions but with recipes. Also the philosophy of cooking with your senses. The term \u201cagak agak\u201d roughly translates to \u201cestimate,\u201d which is not to say that the recipes are haphazard or confusing. But I do want chicken braised in tamarind and coriander, and also Tamil egg curry and Nonya lemongrass chicken.

In his unprepossessing introduction, Sando writes, \u201cI believe that when you cook beans, you\u2019re connecting with thousands of years of tradition.\u201d Here he gives us 50 varieties of heirlooms: marbled beauties like Moro and Jacob\u2019s Cattle and opaque gems like King City Pink and Mayocoba. He advises readers on how to turn them into stews, soups\u2014the broth these beans produce!\u2014salads, dips, burgers, and more. You\u2019ll find the classics such as New England baked beans (both traditional and vegan versions) and Italian pasta e fagioli, but also surprises like heirloom-bean-and-caramelized-fennel gratin and Smitten Kitchen\u2019s pizza beans.

It\u2019s probably a tough sell to anyone who has difficulty with comics, but for those you know who love the form, this is a winner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-ad-exclude=\"(min-width: 90rem)\" data-embed=\"embed-product\" size=\"large\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-33\" data-journey-content=\"true\" id=\"slide-20\" data-anchor-id=\"slide-20\" data-journey-listicle-slide=\"true\">\n<div size=\"large\">\n<div>\n<p>20<\/p>\n<h2>Recipes Salty, Cheesy, Herby, Crispy Snackable Bakes: 100 Easy-Peasy, Savory Recipes for 24\/7 Deliciousness<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-theme-key=\"base-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1682688690?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" aria-label=\"$40 at Amazon for The Contemporary African Kitchen: Home Cooking Recipes from the Leading Chefs of Africa\"99 data-href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1682688690\" data-product-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1682688690\" data-affiliate=\"true\" data-affiliate-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1682688690?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\" data-affiliate-network=\"{\"afflink_redirect\":\"\/_p\/afflink\/lERz\/amazon-salty-cheesy-herby-crispy-snackable\",\"site_id\":\"8b6b0f67-bcde-4d9d-86c6-dedff1abae12\",\"network\":{\"name\":\"Amazon\"},\"metadata\":{\"links\":{\"default\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1682688690?tag=esquire_auto-append-20\",\"sem\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1682688690?tag=esq-lift-20\",\"social\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1682688690?tag=esq-soc-lift-20\"}}}\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"$24 at Amazon\" data-vars-ga-media-role=\"1\" data-vars-ga-media-type=\"Slide\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1682688690\" data-vars-ga-product-id=\"0e6fa84a-3cc0-43f1-b2a2-86c57a16c095\" data-vars-ga-product-price=\"$24.19\" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id=\"9ff1065f-c910-4f3c-a61a-93a7d001ae82\" data-vars-ga-product-sem3-category=\"Baking\" data-vars-ga-link-treatment=\"sale | On Sale\" data-vars-ga-sku=\"1682688690\" data-vars-ga-magento-tracking=\"1\"><\/p>\n<div data-optimizely=\"product-image-container\">\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.esquire.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/esquire\/static\/images\/badges\/on-sale.839d796.svg\" alt=\"recipes On Sale\" title=\"recipes On Sale\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p><img  alt=\"recipes Salty, Cheesy, Herby, Crispy Snackable Bakes: 100 Easy-Peasy, Savory Recipes for 24\/7 Deliciousness\" title=\"recipes Salty, Cheesy, Herby, Crispy Snackable Bakes: 100 Easy-Peasy, Savory Recipes for 24\/7 Deliciousness\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1725979360-710zcEWucPL.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&#038;resize=980:*\" width=\"933\" height=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>One hundred percent drool-fest.
