The term banchan encompasses a wide variety of Korean dishes that are traditionally served on small plates. Although the name banchan translates to side dishes, in traditional Korean cuisine, they are considered as the essential part of every meal.

The list of banchan dishes is extensive, but the most common options include different kimchi varieties, pickled and fresh vegetables, stir-fry dishes, pancakes, or various combinations with noodles, as well as braised meat or seafood dishes. All the plates are usually placed in the middle of the table and are meant to be shared, while other additions to the traditional table setup include individual bowls of rice, grilled meat, and a communal stew (jjigae).

Satay is a traditional Indonesian dish consisting of skewered meat that's served with a sauce on the side. All types of meat can be used to make satay, even some exotic varieties such as crocodile or snake meat. In most cases, the meat is marinated before grilling.

Marinades vary, but typically include dark soy sauce, sugar, garlic, lime juice, and other seasonings. It is believed that satay originated in the Indonesian region of Java and that it was developed under the influence of Muslim traders who migrated from India.

Pizza Margherita is a delicacy that is literally fit for a queen. In 1889, Queen Margherita of Savoy visited Naples, where she was served a pizza that was made to resemble the colors of the Italian flag: red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese, and green basil.

It was made by a chef named Raffaele Esposito of Pizzeria Brandi, who is credited for its invention. The Queen loved the dish, and Esposito named it after her - pizza Margherita, but such a pizza was also made before that time, and can be dated back to at least 1866, when the most popular pizza toppings included basil, cheese, and tomatoes, but the pizza was not yet named Margherita.

One of the staples of traditional Turkish cuisine, sarma consists of a filling that is snugly surrounded by leaves or leafy vegetables. There are numerous versions of this dish but the mixture typically combines ingredients such as minced meat, rice or bulgur, various herbs, seasonings, red pepper, paprika, ground sumac, or tomato sauce, while the typical wrapping usually includes vine, cabbage, or sauerkraut leaves, or a variety of leafy vegetables such as collard greens and swiss chard.

Having its roots in the Ottoman Empire, sarma is also traditionally consumed in the Balkans, the countries of Central Europe, the South Caucasus, and the Middle East. Although it is commonly enjoyed as a filling lunch or dinner (typically during the winter season), sarma is often prepared on special occasions and holidays.

Nigiri or nigirizushi is a special kind of hand-pressed sushi where the meat is sliced and pressed on top of sushi rice. It was developed in Tokyo (then called Edo) during the 1800s. Sometimes, nori seaweed is used to wrap the whole concoction and keep it together.

The topping is usually seafood such as shrimp, tuna, haddock, or eel, and it should always be fresh and of the highest quality. Traditionally, nigirizushi is paired with shiso leaves, wasabi, soy sauce, or pickled ginger. It is sometimes garnished with daikon and salted seaweed.

To create our ultimate banana bread recipe, the Epi test kitchen team baked the most popular versions in our archives to determine what made each one so delicious. Then we combined the things we liked about other quick breads into the ideal breakfast loaf: a sweet, nutty, and supremely moist banana bread with a delicate crumb. This is an easy recipe with minimal prep time, so you can go from looking for the best banana bread recipe to eating exceptional banana bread in under 2 hours.

A note about mix-ins: We like banana bread with walnuts, which add a warm, toasty, crunchy textural contrast. If you’re a nut-free household, leave them out. Or, if you prefer pecans, add those to your mixing bowl instead. Into chocolate chip banana bread? Our testers were divided, but ultimately determined that chocolate masked the delicate banana flavor more than we liked. If you swing the other way, add ½ cup chopped semisweet chocolate (or chips) along with or instead of the nuts. Interested in peanut butter banana bread? A pumpkin bread modification? Or recipes made with cream cheese or whole wheat flour? You’ll find those and more in the variations section of this other recipe.

To ensure your homemade banana bread easily pops out of the pan, line the pan with parchment paper: Brush melted butter (or use cooking spray) on the pan to anchor the parchment, secure it with binder clips, then grease and flour the pan as indicated below.

Epicurious editor Emily Johnson liked her family's oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe, but thought it could be even better. So she started making it with butter instead of margarine, increased the salt, and used chopped chocolate instead of chips. This new version has since become her new favorite cookie recipe—and she thinks her family (and yours) will agree.

Do Ahead: Cookie dough can be made 3 months ahead. Wrap tightly with plastic and freeze. Cookies can be made 1 day before serving—store in in an airtight container at room temperature. Alternately, freeze up to 3 months.
