Uncover the Culinary Gems that Made Our Top 25

Roasted Cauliflower and Garlic Soup

Kelly Marshall for The New York Times brought us this amazing soup. The food stylist, Roscoe Betsill, and the prop stylist, Paige Hicks, added their touch to make it even more visually appealing. As Ali Slagle said, "This soup was absolutely positively delicious. I'm really not sure how that's possible with just two basic ingredients plus olive oil, salt, pepper, and water! Insane! So oh, oh, good!" The combination of roasted cauliflower, a whole head of garlic, and olive oil creates a surprisingly creamy and complex vegan soup that is sure to delight your taste buds.

Kung Pao Tofu

Kelly Marshall for The New York Times also showcased this vegetarian family favorite. The food stylist, Samantha Seneviratne, made it look irresistible. Ham El-Waylly's vegetarian take on kung pao chicken features crispy tofu, dried chiles, tingly Sichuan peppercorns, and crunchy peanuts. Mom's tip is to bake the tofu (at 400 for 25 minutes) to save time at the stove while still maintaining a good bite. And if you have teens, double the recipe as 14 ounces of tofu is enough for about two of them.
