Deb Perelman’s crispy oven–pulled pork is everything you want in a summer sandwich—smoky, sweet, tangy, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. After hours of slow roasting and basting, the pork is shredded, piled onto soft buns, and finished with a refreshing cabbage slaw. Pure Smitten Kitchen magic.
This black bean chili from Smitten Kitchen is a game-changer for anyone who thought they hated beans. Made with broiled peppers, garlic, and fire-roasted tomatoes, it’s smoky, spicy, and ready in a flash. Pile on toppings like avocado, jalapeños, and sour cream for the ultimate comfort bowl.

Deb’s Bialy Babka from Keepers, featuring chewy bread filled with caramelized onion and poppy seeds, is a show-stopping and surprisingly simple snow day project. It’s best enjoyed warm with a smear of butter.
