Roast Chicken with Pomegranate Molasses and Pistachios
“Pair this recipe with a simple salad, a plate of chickpeas or butter beans drizzled in olive oil and lemon for a low-key family dinner — perhaps with a slightly chilled bottle of gamay for the adults.” — Christine Flynn

Green Pasta with Lemon and Pecorino
“What better way to get the whole family on board with frozen broccoli and a few fistfuls of spinach than to combine them with fresh basil. Add a bit of broth and cream, and then purée them into a silky sauce with lemon and pecorino.” — Christine Flynn
Herby Feta Orzo
“This recipe will take you about as long to make as the pasta takes to cook, and it can be eaten warm, at ambient temperature or cold.” — Christine Flynn
