Weeknight dinners, baking and global flavors

Hundreds of recipes by Sarah Chen-Martinez – fast dinners, cakes and cookies, and fusion dishes.

Profile:

Most of Sarah Chen-Martinez's recipes answer the question "what's for dinner tonight?" Her largest group sits in Weeknight Meals: coconut chicken, chimichurri skirt steak, sheet pan chicken with potatoes, crispy baked buffalo wings and a quick beef stir-fry with sweet onions. The steps are short, the timings are stated up front, and most dishes need nothing beyond a pan, a sheet tray or a slow cooker.

The second strand is sweet. Her Baking & Desserts recipes include vegan chocolate lava cakes, sweet potato souffle with a pecan crust, cake pops for the holiday table and festive mousse for New Year's gatherings. Smaller groups cover global and fusion dishes, seasonal cooking and lighter plates such as roasted vegetable and quinoa bowls, avocado toast with egg, and a chickpea tuna salad for busy lunches.
