We all aspire to the ideal that our kitchens should be workstations where everything is clean, unbroken, and useful. Not always possible, it’s true, but we can be careful about cluttering it up with unnecessary tools and unitasking gadgets.
Here’s a baker’s dozen of the tools we learned to love even more this year, from the humble paddle that came with our rice cooker, to the garlic press one of our editors hid from Alton to the almighty lemon squeezer.

Our goal for ringing in the new year? Do it with a flash of color, vibrant flavor, heat, soulfulness, and, of course, sparkle. And no food said that for me this year like the creations coming out of Asha Gomez’s kitchen. This year, the chef and restaurateur became a cookbook author and published one of the year’s most celebrated cookbooks: My Two Souths.
Asha shared a few recipes with us for a New Year’s Eve menu inspired by her two souths — Kerala, the southern-most Indian state where she was born, and the American South, the region she now calls home. I chatted with Asha about the power of spice in her cooking, why fusion is considered the “F word,” and how food is always about celebration.

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been to a really great holiday party and have heard everyone tell me how wonderful the fritters are or “you have to try the croquettes,” only to find they’ve disappeared by the time I’ve made it to the table. It’s always such high hopes met with lots of longing. I tell you this because that’s exactly the sort of situation you’re likely to find yourself in when these sweet potato and spinach pakoras are on the menu.
Delicately crisp, thanks to lentil flour, and served alongside a sweet and tart tamarind sauce, this recipe from Asha Gomez, author of My Two Souths, makes about 14 fritters. But they’re a two-bite affair, so here’s my advice from the get-go: Double the recipe if you’re celebrating with the whole crew!

Want a chicken dinner? We have a winner! This year we doubled down on the omnipresent chicken, that humble and do-it-all bird. Chicken dinners will never go out of style, but we dressed them up a little: we had fun testing the “secret” KFC recipe and trying our hand at chicken empanadas.
But we also kept it simple; we know that nearly every cook can use one more winner of a chicken dinner for busy weeknights, and from slow-cooker chicken tacos to one-pan chicken burrito bowls to an inspiring series on the great sheet pan supper, we think we have something here to make you crow.
