The 21 Most Popular Articles of 2022
Many folks think of Epicurious as a recipe site—and now, with the Epi iOS app, it’s easier than ever to find, save, and cook our recipes. But a lot of what we publish each week goes deeper than tonight’s dinner, or at least could provide the spark for scintillating dinner conversation. In 2022, we published stories digging into the history of everyday ingredients and beloved dishes, articles offering tips and techniques that’ll make you a better cook, and we tapped experts to offer clear answers to kitchen questions you’ve always been afraid to ask. (Plus, we shared Dolly Parton’s coleslaw secret!) The articles below were our most popular stories of the year. Pull up a chair and catch up on your reading.
