Recipes Our Editors Cooked This Week

BY KELSEY JANE YOUNGMAN

I take our annual Farmers Market Challenge seriously, determined to make each dish at least once before Labor Day. I have so far been rewarded with a spaghetti dinner that made me wish my zucchini haul had somehow been more abundant and fried stuffed hot peppers I really did mean to share. Next on my list was senior Test Kitchen editor Shilpa Uskokovic’s Raspberry–Brown Butter Skillet Cake. It’s jam-packed with tart fruit and crumbly almond flour (which gives it a delightful blondie-like chew). The luscious brown butter doesn’t hurt either, lending a slow-cooked intensity to this quick bake.

Editors also made a gorgeous watermelon salad, basil chicken stir-fry, PB&J oatmeal, and more.

Here’s how.
