Dat Candy: These recipes deserve Grammys.

Good morning. The Grammys are next Sunday. To celebrate, we're identifying recipes that match the aura of this year's most celebrated artists.

Sabrina Carpenter
With six nominations at this year's awards, Sabrina is slated to join Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, and Olivia Rodrigo in the pantheon of "Disney alums turned Grammy-winning musicians that my mother just doesn't get." However, bypassing my mom's approval isn't necessarily a bad thing. She's also the only living person who's indifferent to this community favorite: one-pot kale & quinoa pilaf.

Kendrick Lamar
The California native's incendiary track, "Not Like Us," is up for five awards—including Best Music Video, Record Of The Year, and Song Of The Year. As for what differentiates record and song, I don't know. But I can tell you this: Some of the record's song's anthem's accompanying video was filmed outside of beloved Compton restaurant, Tam's Burgers—which reminds me that I should make Emma Laperruque's turkey & mushroom burgers sometime this week.

Billie Eilish
If you count this year's seven nominations, Billie Eilish has now had the chance to win 32 Grammys. She turned 23 in December. This level of prodigious output is inconceivable for most people. Luckily, I can relate: When I was in college, I tripled the recipe for Heather's honey mustard chicken wings and received, at least, three dozen "Yo, can you make those wings again?" awards from my peers.

Whether you purchased your dutch oven yesterday or ten years ago, nobody forgets their favorite oversized, ceramic pot's triple-digit price tag. That's why when winter comes, you've got to get your money's worth with an unrelenting lineup of pomegranate-braised pot roast, herby mushroom stew, beef bourguignon with garlic potatoes, and everything else on this list of our 22 favorite dutch oven recipes.

Nach Waxman's Brisket Of Beef

Spinach Tortellini Soup By Joanna Gaines

Herby Mushroom Stew

Chicken Stew With Potatoes, Carrots & Celery

Here's some of the best stuff we've released over the past week:

1. Zucchini and Feta Pasta with Za'atar Pangrattato. In our latest Recipe Drop, preeminent pasta scholar Dan Pashman shows Noah his take on the classic zucchini-forward Neapolitan dish, spaghetti alla nerano. You can watch the video here.

2. A Conversational Guide to Bitters. Bitters—the 40ish% ABV, cocktail staple, packaged in paper-wrapped hot sauce bottles, sold to humans of all ages on Amazon—are strange. In my latest article, I explore the cocktail enhancers' history, ingredients, and key figures. You can read it here.

Next week, this newsletter is going all in on Super Bowl snacks, drinks, and oddities. That said, I understand people start dividing culinary responsibilities weeks ahead of the big game. If you're already receiving "What can you bring?" texts, simply claim our team's most crowd-friendly dish:

Posie Harwood Brien's Magic Cookie Bars.

They simply do not miss. Recipe here.

That's a wrap for this week!

See you next Sunday for more chatter about what's happening at Food52 HQ.
