Fourteen dinners worth clearing the calendar for. This week is running the full range — from a blackened chicken carbonara that earns its indulgence to a Niçoise that keeps things sharp, with a smoked scallop risotto and shrimp bao buns quietly stealing the spotlight in between. Spring produce is showing up, the pasta game is strong, and there's enough Latin heat to keep things interesting. Some of my faves:
Trio de Empanadas — shrimp with Oaxaca cheese, chicken tinga, ribeye picadillo. Three fillings, zero complaints
Dan Dan Noodles — noodles, minced pork, sesame paste. Simple on paper, impossible to put down
