Year-end lists are somewhat daunting to put together. By December, who even remembers what happened in January? But they’re a chance to look back, to remember the days, months and meals of our recent pasts. Below, our staff members reflect on their most memorable tastes of 2022: some surprising savory recipes, some sweet standbys — all so good they had to be shared.

I probably make a batch of these Jacques Torres chocolate chip cookies every month or so. It is THE BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe — crisp exterior, gooey interior — and having a batch of homemade cookies on hand offsets the fact (in my mind anyway) that I feed my family frozen chicken tenders and crinkle fries on the regular. I use half milk chocolate and half bittersweet chocolate chips, and I like to add ¼ cup of cacao nibs for crunch. MARGAUX LASKEY

The recipe I made over and over this year is Becky Hughes’s vegan Caesar salad. I got my sisters hooked on it and, throughout the year, we would text one another our empty bowls after eating the full serving. It’s the perfect mix of crunchy, savory and creamy and I push it on everyone I know. If there’s one thing you should make, it’s this salad. NATASHA JANARDAN

I can’t even count how many times I made Ali Slagle’s arugula salad with Parmesan for lunch or as a side with dinner. I’m craving it as I write this. I keep shaved or shredded Parmesan on hand to speed up the process, and sometimes I like to add colorful cherry tomatoes, fresh cracked pepper and extra lemon juice to elevate it to a meal. My partner has also made Ali’s chicken piccata for dinner a bunch of times this year. It’s a hot, comforting, flavorful dish that’s ready in only 25 minutes, using many of the ingredients I already have in my fridge. The sauce on this chicken is so amazing that the skillet is always left clean. And we fight to make sure we both get an even amount. It’s that good. CHRISTINA MORALES
