21 Thai Dishes Fit for a Songkran Celebration

Whether you're ringing in the Thai New Year or just craving the flavors of Thailand at home, these are the recipes to turn to.

Songkran is Thailand's lively three-day New Year festival, celebrated annually beginning on April 13 per the Buddhist calendar, when the sun moves from Pisces to Aries. It's an opportunity to wash off the troubles of the previous year — done literally and joyously in the streets of Thailand with massive water fights — and to share meals with family. In honor of the holiday, we've put together a collection of vibrant, massively flavorful Thai dishes that are fit for a celebration or simply a tasty meal at home. Whether you're craving your favorite Thai curry (maybe Panang ?); the fresh, spicy crunch of papaya salad ; or coconut-y mango sticky rice , these are your go-to Thai recipes.

Pad Krapow (Basil Stir-Fry)

Matt Taylor-Gross / Food Styling by Debbie Wee

Holy basil gives this simple, delicious Thai stir-fry its signature flavor. While the other components of Pad Krapow are flexible; the basil is essential. If you can’t find holy basil, use Italian basil; it's much closer in flavor than Thai basil for this specific dish. 

Som Tam (Thai-Style Green Papaya Salad)

Victor Protasio / Food Styling by Margaret Monroe Dickey / Prop Styling by Christina Daley

Lightly pounding and tossing shreds of green papaya in the bowl of the mortar allows it to absorb the sweet, salty, sour, spicy paste while preserving the salad’s crisp crunch.

Panang Curry

Jennifer Causey / Food Styling by Emily Nabors Hall / Prop Styling by Christina Daley

This rich Thai coconut milk curry gets its distinctive flavor from the chile paste made with a robust blend of red chile, lime, galangal, garlic, shallots, cumin, and kapi (shrimp paste).

Pla Pad Cha (Thai Fried Fish with Spicy Chile Sauce)

Jennifer Causey / Food Styling by Chelsea Zimmer / Prop Styling by Christine Keely

White peppercorns and brined green peppercorns add pungency to crisp, tender snapper fillets in this quick recipe from Watcharapong Tanabat, a chef at Ging Grai in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Kelsey Hansen / Food Styling by Annie Probst / Prop Styling by Gabe Greco

This stir-fry of deeply caramelized skirt steak with noodles and Chinese broccoli is a Thai classic for good reason.

Lap Mu (Northeastern Thai Pork Salad)

This northeastern Thai pork salad is at first sour then salty, with acidity from lime, salinity and umami from the fish sauce, and nutty depth from the toasted rice powder. It comes together in just under half an hour — serve it with wedges of green cabbage, green beans, and rice, if desired.

Nam Khao Tod (Crispy Rice Salad)

In this Night + Market dish by Kris Yenbamroong, spicy fresh ginger brings brightness and a pleasant crunch to this salad. Cooked and cooled rice is seasoned with curry paste and dusted with a generous coating of rice flour, then fried until über-crunchy.

Grilled Chicken Wings with Jaew

Low and slow grilling keeps these wings juicy and gives the skin time to render and char. Jaew, a sweet and sour chile sauce, delivers a heat-packed punch.

Crab Fried Rice

Victor Protasio / Food Styling by Margaret Monroe Dickey / Prop Styling by Christine Keely

Spicy and fragrant crab fried rice is studded with chunks of delicate, sweet crabmeat throughout. It's served with prik nam pla (Thai dipping sauce), a popular spicy, salty, and sweet condiment that reinforces the fried rice’s umami flavors. 

Khao Mun Gai (Thai Chicken and Rice)

Khao Mun Gai features tender poached chicken served with a fragrant chicken broth and ginger rice, accompanied by a flavorful dipping sauce. The dish is famed for its simplicity, and is an easy yet comforting dish any home cook can tackle. 

Gang Gai Khao Mun (Thai Chicken Curry)

Sweet, sticky coconut rice colored and flavored with green herbs pairs with this creamy Thai chicken curry from chef Nok Suntaranon. The foundation of the curry is a vibrant from-scratch curry paste — the same one used at Kalaya in Philadelphia (one of F&W's Best New Restaurants in 2020).

Thai Red Curry

Dried chiles lend earthiness and heat to this red curry, while the coconut milk, eggplant, chicken, and basil round out the flavors.

Krapow Khai Yat Sai (Thai Stuffed Spicy Basil-Chicken Omelet)

Victor Protasio / Food Styling by Maggie Ruggiero / Prop Styling by Christine Keely

In this eye-catching omelet from Jazz Singsanong, owner of Jitlada in Los Angeles, a thin blanket of folded egg is cut open to reveal a filling of ground chicken and Thai basil that’s been lightly caramelized and flavored with oyster sauce.

Tofu Pad Thai

Chef and writer Lara Lee's meatless pad Thai stars hearty, savory fresh oyster and shiitake mushrooms, which suffuse the dish with earthy flavor and combine beautifully with chewy noodles; golden-fried tofu; fresh, crisp bean sprouts; lightly spicy long red chiles; and crunchy peanuts.

Yellow Curry

This Thai curry balances earthy turmeric with tangy tamarind paste and a gentle heat level that makes it especially cozy. Finish it with a squeeze of lime juice to wake up the flavors.

Green Curry

Garlic, lemongrass, makrut lime, coconut milk, and Thai basil balance the kick of heat in this popular Thai curry, made with chicken, zucchini, and bell peppers.

Thai Cucumber Salad

Matt Taylor-Gross / Food Styling by Amelia Rampe

This easy and refreshing cucumber salad has been enjoyed in Thailand for centuries, getting its punch of flavor from ginger, vinegar, and chile.

Sweet Sticky Rice with Mangoes and Sesame Seeds

Mango sticky rice has been a popular dessert in Thailand for centuries. This is a simple recipe, but it depends on getting the right ingredients. Make sure your rice is labeled "glutinous rice" or "sweet rice," so it will produce the right texture. Use full-fat unsweetened coconut milk and seek out ripe, sweet mangoes.

Thai Shrimp and Coconut Soup with Lemongrass

Top Chef  winner Harold Dieterle's recipe for Thai coconut soup is flavored with chiles, ginger, and lemongrass, and garnished with plenty of shrimp.

Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

The combination of charred, lemongrass-scented chicken satay and rich, spicy peanut sauce is hard to beat.

Drunken Noodles

This fast (and almost vegetarian) Thai rice noodle dish is dressed with a deliciously savory, spicy sauce and tossed with crispy tofu.

41 Thai Recipes to Make at Home

By Bon Appétit

If you take a deep dive into our recipe database, you'll notice a few interesting things: 1. the liberal use of Aleppo pepper ; 2. a relative lack of banana recipes ; and 3. quite a lot of Thai recipes. With regard to no. 3, it's pretty obvious why. The salty, sweet, savory, spicy cuisine is just plain craveable, as these 41 recipes inspired by it deliciously demonstrate.

Som Tum Thai (Green Papaya Salad)

Thai papaya salad is an ideal summer side dish and packs up well if you want to take it with you.

Unless there’s a Thai restaurant right next door, there’s a good chance you can make this easy pad Thai recipe faster than having it delivered.

Mango Sticky Rice

Coconut sticky rice with mango is a classic Thai dessert. This easy method eliminates the need for any special equipment.

Pad See Ew With Chicken

Developer Leela Punyaratabandhu breaks down the techniques to achieving the perfect plate of this iconic Thai stir-fried noodle dish.

Crispy Thai Chicken Salad

A half a cup of olive oil may seem like whoa, too much, but that's the key to crisping up the chicken.

Thai Steak and Noodle Salad

This is no simple salad: It’s a multicourse meal on a plate. Its dramatic presentation is part of the allure.

Pad Prik King

This vegetarian Thai curry from the restaurant Thai Fresh in Austin is less spicy and more fragrant than you might expect; add a dried chile de árbol if you like heat.

Red Curry Mussels

You can also make this dish with littleneck or cherrystone clams instead of mussels.

A simple curry paste gives this northern Thai–inspired soup surprising depth of flavor.

Thai salads are full of crisp vegetables and fruits mixed with intense condiments.

Peanut Dressing

A Thai restaurant classic, this peanut dressing makes an equally great dipping sauce for dumplings and summer rolls.

Steamed Fish with Lime and Chile

This is the definition of minimalist Thai cooking. The steam not only gently cooks the fish until just tender but also creates an instant, complex sauce from a handful of basic ingredients. Scoring the fish's flesh allows more of the flavor to season the fish and facilitates faster steaming. The fish is cooked on a plate that fits inside the steamer, to catch the juices.

Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Chile

Brussels Sprouts take on Thai spiced flavors in this recipe.

Green Curry Paste

Combined with coconut milk, it’s the base for your next Thai curry.

Curried Beef Stew

All Thai curries start with a handful of aromatic ingredients (chiles, galangal, lemongrass, turmeric, etc.) pounded into a paste with a granite mortar and pestle. The paste is then stirred into soups or stews (often with coconut milk), or used as the basis of sautéed dishes. Use a mini-processor to make the curry paste if you'd like, although this incendiary stew will take on a deeper flavor if you can use a granite mortar and pestle.

Chicken Legs with Noodles and Broth

This chicken soup is made with chicken legs and a flavorful broth.

Massaman Chicken

Spicy Curry Noodle Soup with Chicken and Sweet Potato

Feel free to make the broth ahead to save time on the final preparation.

Green Mango Salad

Done well, this should be crunchy, fresh, spicy, sour, and a little bit funky. Taste as you go and adjust as needed.

Crispy Thai Pork with Cucumber Salad

The crispy bits are the key to this pork’s deliciousness. Use a wide, flat spatula for the best effect.

Waterfall Pork

Is it hot? Sure, it’s hot. But the bracing pickled cabbage, cooling fresh herbs, and sweet-tasting rice will help keep the flames in check in this incendiary dish from Thai-Kun.

Toasted Coconut Sundaes with Candied Peanuts

You’ll never serve ice cream without candied peanuts again.

Thai-Style Grain Salad with Crunchy Seeds

Grain salads, like this herb-spiked one made with smoky freekeh, come together instantly with leftovers—reason enough to cook off a batch on Sundays.

Curry-and-Coconut-Milk-Grilled Pork Skewers

Chef Kris Yenbamroong’s cook–friendly take on a classic Bangkok street food staple.

Black Noodles

The key to this dish from Thai-Kun is not letting the noodles stick together. Keep them moving in the pot, drain very well after rinsing, and add the oil to coat right away. If you like, quickly grill a few slices of sirloin steak and toss them in at the end.

Thai Duck and Grapefruit Salad

“The grapefruit brightens everything in this dish.” —Eleanore Park, BA recipe tester

Wok-Fried Rice Noodles with Chicken and Squid

Sure, you can make these satisfying wok-fried noodles from chef Kris Yenbamroong without a wok. Just get your skillet super hot. 

Pomelo Salad with Chile, Lime, Peanuts, and Coconut

A palate cleanser packed with sweet, sour, and salty flavors; taste and tweak the seasonings as you go.

Hot Pepper Noodles

These rice noodles come together faster than your favorite Thai place can deliver, guaranteed. They're equally good with tofu, beef, or shrimp in place of the chicken.

Sweet Potato Curry

This one-dish wonder grants you immunity from even the most gluten-averse, meat-abstaining, fat-conscious houseguests. And it tastes as good as ever reheated.

This cocktail from Uncle Boons in New York is made to pair well with Thai food.

Thai Chicken Soup

Thai cooking tips and tricks

• Practice and practice: Don’t be discouraged if a recipe doesn’t turn out perfect. Practice will bring you closer to perfection, and don’t be afraid to hit me up with any questions you might have.
• Use fresh ingredients: Thai food is all about freshness and aroma. Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Most ingredients can be found at Asian grocery stores or Asian markets.
• Balance the flavors: A Thai chef does not serve before taste testing. Thai cuisine is all about balancing sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. Taste and adjust as you go.
• Customize the heat: Some Thai dishes can be rather spicy, but it doesn’t have to be! Simply adjust the number of chilies to suit your family’s taste. If you happen to add a bit too many chilies, try adding some sugar to balance out the spicy flavor.
• Prep ahead: Thai cooking moves quickly, especially stir-fries. Make sure you have all your ingredients chopped and measured before you start cooking.

Fried pork, yellow curry and mackerel rice: Luke Farrell’s recipes to celebrate Thai New Year

Three joyful dishes for a new year: a mild yellow curry, street food-style fried pork and a simple dish of baked mackerel and rice

Songkran , the Thai New Year on 13 April, is a vibrant and joyous celebration marked by a famous water festival that symbolises the cleansing of the past year’s misfortunes through playful water fights and anointing one’s elders with water at the hottest time of year. Traditional Thai dishes play a central role, reflecting the culinary heritage that unites families and communities at this auspicious time.

Fried pork with salt (pictured top)

Variations on this dish are found on street carts throughout Thailand. It’s served for breakfast to smoosh into sticky rice, or late at night with chilli dipping sauce and beer. For the days of the Songkran festivities, it’s a real winner when you start to flag from all the celebrations. Fish sauce does incredible things to good-quality pork, so think of this as a delicious Thai sort-of bacon.

Prep 10 min Marinate 1 hr+ Cook 5 min Serves 3-4

500g pork belly or shoulder , skinned 2 tbsp fish sauce , or 2 tbsp salt 1 pork or chicken stock cube , crumbled 2 tbsp vegetable oil , plus a little extra for frying 4 tbsp tempura flour Chilli dipping sauce , to serve

Cut the pork into 1cm-thick batons – keep them as uniform as you can, so they’ll fry evenly. Put the pork, fish sauce, crumbled stock cube, oil and flour in a large bowl or zip-lock bag, give it all a good (Thai) massage, then set aside for an hour, or put in the fridge overnight.

In a shallow pan, gently stir-fry the pork in a little oil for about five minutes, until golden all over but still juicy. Tip into a bowl and serve immediately with your chilli dipping sauce of choice and ice-cold beer.

Mild yellow curry

Most Bangkok locals would consider this a green curry, but it’s actually yellow, and very mild and fragrant, rather than spicy. It’s normally made with ready-pounded fresh red chillies and garlic, which you can buy alongside the curry pastes in Thai markets, but here I’ve used a tablespoon of red curry paste instead. I’d recommend you eat the wings with your fingers, then mix the noodles into the sauce and slurp away. Prep 10 min Cook 40 min Serves 3-4

400ml tinned full-fat coconut milk 1 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp red curry paste 2 tbsp green curry paste 1 tbsp palm sugar 12 chicken wings 2 tbsp fish sauce 1 tsp ground white peppercorns 1 yellow squash , or 3 yellow courgettes, cut into large chunks 1 small handful Thai basil leaves 200g round rice noodles Sliced mild red and green chillies , to garnish

Open the tin of coconut milk, then use a spoon to lift off the puck of heavy cream on the top. Put two tablespoons of this cream and the vegetable oil in a hot wok and stir to combine on a medium-high heat. When the oil separates, add both curry pastes and fry gently for a couple of minutes, until they start to separate, too. Add the palm sugar, raise the heat and, once the mix thickens, add the chicken wings and fish sauce.

Pour in enough water to half-cover the chicken, add the peppercorns, then leave to bubble on a medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is almost but not fully cooked. Stir in the pieces of squash and simmer for another 10 minutes, until everything is cooked through.

Top up the curry with the coconut milk from the open can, so the sauce is the consistency of thin cream, then check the seasoning and add fish sauce and salt, if necessary.

Cook the rice noodles in boiling water according to the packet instructions, then drain. Festoon the curry with the Thai basil and sliced chillies, and serve with the rice noodles alongside.

Mackerel rice

This dish of cold fish and warm rice is rather affectionately known as “cat’s rice”. While there is excess and fun at Thai New Year, it also marks the start of the Buddhist year, and this rather frugal dish speaks to that, though Thais can’t help but turn something so simple into something so delicious, too.

Prep 15 min Cook 30 min Serves 3-4

Salt 1 mackerel (250-400g), cleaned and gutted 250g cooked Thai jasmine rice , either freshly cooked or leftover 1 red and 1 green bird’s eye chilli , thinly sliced 1 garlic clove , peeled and thinly sliced 5 tbsp fish sauce 1 lime , cut into segments 1 small red shallot , peeled and thinly sliced Fresh coriander leaves , to garnish

Generously salt the mackerel inside and out, then roast in a 200C (180C fan) oven for about 20 minutes, until fully cooked. Remove, leave to cool a little, then pull the flesh off the bones and tear it into shards.

Mix the fish with the rice – if you’re using leftover rice, leave it cold, but the warmth of freshly cooked fish will accentuate the flavours more.

In a small bowl, combine the chillies, garlic and fish sauce.

Divide the fish and rice between three or four bowls, then garnish each portion with a lime wedge, some sliced shallot and a little coriander, and serve, leaving your guests to mix everything together and to anoint it with the chilli fish sauce and lime juice to taste. It should be fragrant, delicate and sustaining.

12" Thai chef knife, Kiwi, wood handle

Featured in Saveur Magazine as a "Staff Favorite...the tall blade is similar to pricy Japanese santokus, so it is ideal for straight chopping, but it also has a bit of curve for easily rocking through herbs and minced garlic. The angled tip is handy for for delicate tasks that might feel clumsy with a traditional santokus".

Pho Beef Flavor Paste  - Por Kwan

New stock just arrived today. This paste is very popular with our customers. The flavor is rich, and the soft paste is easy to work with. A simple way to enjoy an exotic, full-flavored noodle soup.

Sweet and Sour Plum Sauce, Mae Ploy Thailand

This sauce is especially tasty with crispy (fried) food such as fried spring rolls, sugarcane shrimp, fish cakes, even french fries. Packed in a large glass bottle. Medium consistency (not think like water, but less thick than ketchup), bits of plum flakes. Lovely flavor.

Thai Fried Chicken Batter Mix, Mr Hung

Leave it to the Thais to create the best fried chicken in the world. This batter perfectly coats your chicken (or vegetables, as we made fried mushrooms and onions that turned out excellent). Simply mix this with water and sugar (see mix below). You really can't go wrong, and it's just excellent batter.

Shrimp Cakes, 'Tod Mun Goong'

In this video we demonstrate how to make Thai fish cakes, a signature dish of Thailand. Very simple, and so delicious.

Radiators fail once more: Moscow suburbs residents appeal to Putin

R esidents across the Moscow suburbs are besieged by a heating problem, for which they plead direct intervention from President Vladimir Putin. These individuals have yet to experience any semblance of home heating since winter started due to a dwindling supply of heating oil. The issue, one largely avoided by local authority communication, has left residents desperate to the point of directly appealing to the president.

While plots have been uncovered to disrupt Ukraine's infrastructure for a second consecutive winter, thus depriving civilians of heating, it seems Russians are now mired in their crisis. Irony drips from the fact that those under Putin's leadership are looking to cause turmoil in Ukraine, yet at home, they face a similar predicament.

Many dwellings within the Moscow agglomeration are presently without heat. The capital's residents are desperate, directly appealing to President Putin due to a perceived lack of alternate avenues for assistance. The absence of suitable heating functionality since winter commenced pushes them towards desperation with no relief in sight.

This seems improbable, but in Russia, it appears that anything can happen.

It remains uncertain if Vladimir Putin is actively addressing the heating crisis. Some experts suggest that Russia's heating oil reserves are depleting, which negatively affects residents' quality of life. Plagued by cold radiators and plummeting winter temperatures, these citizens have directly addressed their pleas to their head of state.

This heating crisis is happening in Elektrostal, a town approximately 71 miles from Moscow.

Ironically, Russia has constantly aimed to destroy the Ukrainian infrastructure since war broke out, deliberately trying to leave Ukrainians without heating during the harsh winters, aiming to break their strong will. It's an irony they now struggle with a domestic heating crisis, particularly near Moscow, their largest and most pivotal city.

Desperate individuals are reaching out to Vladimir Putin. They question his knowledge of the heating infrastructure conditions in the Moscow suburbs and the dire situations residents face there. Sundown brings no relief from the harsh Russian winter and without heating, their houses turn cold. With elections nearing, more and more residents find themselves reaching out directly to their president.

"Since winter's start, we've been without heating. This has been a yearly occurrence for the past three years. Despite paying for heating, we don't have enough. We implore you, help us!" - these are the desperate pleas from the heavily dressed populace dealing with the Russian winter conditions.

Experts attribute the heating oil shortage to international sanctions and surging demands for diesel fuel, pivotal to military operations. Russia now grapples with a dearth of raw materials essential for boiler and heating plant operation. As supplies dwindle, houses grow cold with little hope of any immediate corrective intervention.

It would be adequate if the war ceased, residents were prioritized, and attention accorded to their welfare.

5 of the best L.A. cookbooks for spring

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Recently I’ve been exploring Los Angeles through its cookbooks. Spring always means a new crop of books, and several L.A. chefs and authors have released (or are about to release) new titles. From “The SalviSoul Cookbook” to “ Rhett & Link Present: The Mythical Cookbook ,” the city they reflect through food and the way we cook and eat is as moving and wondrous and weird and delicious as you’d expect.

You can dive into some of the L.A. Times Food section’s latest favorite titles in our ode to the joy of cookbooks with many of the authors set to appear at the paper’s Festival of Books April 20 and 21.

We keep adding to our respective cookbook collections (I’m sure I have hundreds) at least partly because each one sheds a different light on how to cook, and I can’t help but think that cooking better must also mean living better. Even if it’s just by adding one recipe to your back pocket of what-to-cook .

Off the top of my head, a few of my go-to recipes are chicken ginger rice from Naoko Takei Moore’s “ Donabe: Classic and Modern Japanese Clay Pot Cooking ”; yogurt panna cotta from “ Bäco: Vivid Recipes From the Heart of Los Angeles ” (full disclosure, I co-wrote that book); and the Sicilian-esque currant and pine nut relish from Nancy Silverton’s “ The Mozza Cookbook: Recipes From Los Angeles’ Favorite Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria .” All of these also happen to be L.A. cookbooks.

For this spring, here are five new Los Angeles cookbooks to put on your radar. Below you’ll also find some recipes — for your back pocket.

Health Nut: A Feel-Good Cookbook by Jess Damuck (Abrams)

Jess Damuck is an ace L.A.-based cookbook writer and recipe developer who formerly worked as an editor for Martha Stewart Living magazine. Prior to that she cooked plenty of lunches as an intern for Stewart. “Everything needed to feel ‘light, fresh and truly delicious,’ which generally translated into lots of greens, nuts for texture, proteins and healthy fats like avocado and wild salmon,” writes Damuck. That experience sparked in her cooking “a new version of what clean eating could look like.” So, “ Health Nut ” (her follow-up to “Salad Freak”) includes recipes for granolas, grains, eggs for breakfast, a pasta dish or soup served with salad for a heartier meal, and veg-heavy main dishes for a “sun-drenched city where everyone seems to glow a bit brighter.”

The Cook Book of All Time: Recipes, Stories and Cooking Advice From a Neighborhood Restaurant by Ashley Bernee Wells and Tyler Jeremy Wells (Harvest)

All Time is the Los Feliz restaurant on Hillhurst with a laid-back patio; great coffee and pastries; a witty wine list from Ashley Bernee Wells; and the “California backyard” cooking of her husband, Tyler J. Wells. Together the Wellses wrote a transportive but also down-to-earth cookbook that puts us at the heart of the restaurant and in the spirit of what it means to make and serve food. “Cooking and eating and feeding and serving are really just loving,” Ashley writes. “That’s yours to roast, to shape, to stir, to bake, to discover.” What you’ll find in “ The Cook Book of All Time ” are approachable, share-with-friends dishes: steaks with piles of pickled peppers, celery and greens; whole roasted fish; corn salad; cobbler with whipped crème fraîche. There’s plenty of heart behind the recipes, while Tyler’s motto is: “We’re just cooking!”

The SalviSoul Cookbook: Salvadoran Recipes and the Women Who Preserve Them by Karla Tatiana Vasquez (Ten Speed Press)

This week, Food reporter Cindy Carcamo dives into why the first Salvadoran cookbook to be released from a major publisher took so long. Karla Tatiana Vasquez’s “The SalviSoul Cookbook” is the first-ever Salvadoran cookbook to appear on a Big Five imprint. It was a nearly decade-long journey, but one that also stretches back to her childhood, listening to stories at the dinner table that fueled a desire to get to know herself and her country of origin. “El Salvador is a small little corner in the world, but it has been the biggest question of my life,” Vasquez said. So she gathered recipes and stories from women “who survived, who loved, who laughed and who made fortifying soul food.”

Rhett & Link Present: The Mythical Cookbook: 10 Simple Rules for Cooking Deliciously, Eating Happ ily and Living Mythically by Josh Scherer and Noah Galuten (Harvest)

Wild, just wild. Food’s Stephanie Breijo writes about the first cookbook from the Rhett & Link team , of “Mythical Good Morning “ and “Mythical Kitchen” fame, with Josh Scherer at the helm. Scherer pulls off Milk Chocolate-Dipped Bacon Ice Cream Sandwiches , pumpkin spice pig’s foot, and peanut butter and jelly fried chicken sandwiches. But at the same time, he’s demystifying a lot of cooking techniques (how to prevent a cheese sauce from breaking, say, or the benefits of resting breaded chicken before it’s fried). “Sometimes you want to wrap a pill in Jell-O, so to speak.” he said.

Kismet: Bright, Fresh, Vegetable-Loving Recipes by Sara Kramer and Sarah Hymanson (Clarkson Potter)

I immediately fell in love with the Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner Soup from “Kismet.” It was eye-opening because though I love miso soup and soupy rice porridge for breakfast (and all kinds of soup in general), I hadn’t really ever thought about vegetable soup for breakfast. This one has an egg stirred in (think egg-drop meets minestrone meets avgolemono). Now it’s all I want (for breakfast — and lunch and dinner, obviously). As I write in my feature on the cookbook for Sunday’s Weekend section, authors Sara Kramer and Sarah Hymanson, the chefs of Kismet in Los Feliz, have an affinity for vegetables , and they’ve managed to make them shine in the most efficient ways (the soup takes 30 minutes to make), with endlessly creative combinations and twists. Another favorite is the Marinated Feta With Spice-Roasted Tomatoes and Grapefruit . Use the marinated feta (see the recipe below) for all kinds of salads or for schmearing on bread. “We’ve riffed on it no fewer than a hundred ways over the years.”

Eating out this week? Sign up for Tasting Notes to get our restaurant experts’ insights and off-the-cuff takes on where they’re dining right now.

Kismet’s Marinated Feta

This creamy, tangy marinated feta was inspired by those jars of delicious oil-packed cheese from Australian producer Meredith Dairy. Kismet cookbook authors Sarah Hymanson and Sara Kramer show you how to make their version, with a marinade of oil infused with garlic, lemon zest, coriander, bay leaf and black pepper. Get the recipe. Cook time: 1 hour (including marinating time). Makes about 1 cup.

Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner Soup

This is the soup I love to make in all kinds of ways. The Kismet cookbook calls for leeks, squash and spinach. I also made it with garlic, chopped broccolini and thinly sliced new potatoes. I’ve added cooked rice, and another time it was fregola sarda. Squeeze in regular lemon, or Meyer lemon. The recipe calls for stirring in eggs. I’ve also cracked in whole eggs to gently poach in the broth. It’s great with or even without the Parm rind dropped in. Get the recipe. Cook time: 30 minutes. Serves 4.

Salpicón De Res (Salvadoran Minced Beef Salad)

A fresh, herby, crunchy, meaty salad that’s delicious on its own or served with rice and beans. “There is some variety in which vegetables to use or how fine the minced meat and vegetables should be,” “The SalviSoul Cookbook” author Karla Tatiana Vasquez writes, “but for the most part, it should have mint and it should have lime. Its flavors are fresh, like a Saturday morning, and everyone feels pretty good after eating it.” Get the recipe. Cook time: 55 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.

French Onion Ramen

We watched “The Mythical Cookbook” author Josh Scherer make this in the kitchen at the L.A. Times, tasted it and were hooked. What’s not to love about caramelized onions plus ramen? The seasoning packet of instant ramen plus jammy onions makes a convincing French-onion-esque soup. Get the recipe. Cook time: 55 minutes. Serves 1.
