Couple cookingIn theory, autumn is a cosy, baking-friendly season. In reality, though, I often find myself too exhausted to even think of what to eat for dinner – I mostly stick to recipes I know work, which has left me in a bit of a rut.

Writing to the forum earlier this year, u/dudenumberA asked members to list the “best recipe you’ve ever gotten off the internet”.
Here are some of the best responses (we only selected the ones that were free to access):
1) “J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s recipe for roasted potatoes is one of the best things I’ve ever made, and it’s in regular rotation.”
