The food that needs no introduction, but we’ll give it one anyway: mac and cheese, ladies and gentlemen! We’re passionate about food here at Suvie HQ and mac and cheese is a hotly contested topic. Some people want it creamier, some cheesier, more bacon, less goopy, the list goes on and on. We banished all other foods from our test kitchen for three weeks to solely devote ourselves to..

We’re always looking for healthy options that excite the palate and take us on a culinary adventure. This Mediterranean inspired dish uses tzatziki which is a Greek yogurt-based sauce with cucumbers, garlic, salt, olive oil, lemon juice and occasionally dill. We love this sauce because it’s good for you, and gives you a burst of freshness like you just went to an exclusive spa. The..

Cured pork is sauteed with onion and then layered into a flaky pastry shell along with whatever cheese is readily available. Then a custard of eggs and cream are poured in and the whole ensemble is..

Fresh, light and citrusy, fish tacos are the perfect summer dish. We paired our fish tacos with an elote corn salad which is traditionally served on the cob slathered with crema and cotija cheese as Mexican street food. The fish is the star of the show in this dish, so we recommend asking your local seafood counter for their freshest white fish catch to ensure maximum..

There is no better summer meal then seafood and a light vinaigrette salad. In fact, as we get to the hottest part of the year, that’s all we can think about (aside from gelato, of course). Buying pre-made crab cakes takes the fuss out of this meal making it weeknight-easy. Go ahead and buy a premade citrusy vinaigrette or you can whip up a homemade one in a few moments (we’ve..

Serves 2-3Active Time: 20 minutesTotal Cook Time: 2 hours 30 minutesThis meat and potatoes dish takes advantage of a simple marinade to glaze the pork tenderloin, and a light oil-and-vinegar-based potato salad to round out the dish. Tender but crisp green beans add a nice crunchy contrast to the creamy potatoes and the sharp hit of pickled shallots adds a zing to the potato salad. Dijon and honey are the dynamic duo marinade that imbues the..

Ropa vieja is a Cuban dish that translates to “old clothes”. While this may not be the most appetizing description, it refers to this dish’s signature meat, flank steak, when it breaks down to long, juicy strands of meat after a lengthy braise. While we often think of flank steak as a quick-cook cut best marinated and then grilled over red-hot coals, in this dish we skip the grill..

Chimichurri is an Argentinian sauce known for its bold, bright flavor profile. While traditional Chimichurri consists of chopped parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar, we chose to up the ante giving ours a deep herbaceous flavor with fresh cilantro, a pop of lime juice, and some heat from chili powder and red pepper flakes. Its fresh, summery taste is the perfect complement..
