12 Favorite Recipes of All Time | Cup of Jo (2024)

Wow! What a find this post is! Thank you so much for sharing— an’t wait to get cooking!

These all look amazing but the pad thai sticks out for me!! I know what I’m going to be making from this list :)

I love your best…ever series ever since I´ve discovered it. Your introductions are always funny and amusing to read, and the recipes are extra special. As I´m crazy for all things caramelized, I love the cheese sandwich with the onions.
Sinced you asked for suggestions: how about more savory tarts? An unusual tarte Tatin maybe? Steak recipes? These are my favorite things to cook. Maybe you like the ideas. Warmest greetings from Paris, Sabine.

The grown up grilled cheese looks delicious. Actually, all of these look delicious… I must try a few soon! Thanks for sharing.

Some fantastic food in this list. My favourite recipes are not just about the smell and taste but about the feelings they evoke and the memories they bring back. Such as the meals my Gran used to cook like her breast of lamb stew or the first the first meal I cooked for my wife, a trout with citrus fruit and almonds.

These are good. Favorites include avocado toast and the egg sandwiches. I need to get on some of those desserts. They look amazing.

I still regularly refer to your nutella banana bread recipe. It’s so delicious and easy to make! Though I’ve altered the recipe a little and use half regular flour, half whole-wheat :)

I just made the Chicken Parm meatballs last night and they were so yummy – and picky boyfriend approved!

Also – as a PS to my previous comment – more recipes that are refined sugar free, but still delicious. I have a real sweet tooth and love treats – but refined sugar makes me feel horrible. It’s been amazing to discover how you can enjoy naturally sweetened foods packed with nutrients such as raw cakes and cookies, that are secretly good for you too :D

These all look so amazing! I especially love the caramel brownies!

I have two personal fav’s, first the brown butter, Nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies sprinkled with sea salt (TO DIE FOR). Second, the white cheddar, avocado, sriracha grilled cheese (too good for words)!

I have to admit that this is one of my favorite sections of A Cup of Jo!!! And I ahd never tried avocado toasts until you shared them. Now I’m addicted!!!

I have made the mushroom risotto you posted more times than I can count! It’s my go-to and it totally blew my mind that I could make risotto without being chained to the stove. THANK YOU. Can’t wait to try a few more of these recipes : )

The Nutella Banana Bread recipe that you put up a while back is still a personal favourite, but the best recipe that I have ever tried off of Cup of Jo is the Mini Vegetable Pot Pies! I still make them all the time. So delish.

I make your crunchy roasted potatoes ALL the time, they are my absolute favorite with roast chicken and a salad- great new mom meal too!

As I scrolled down I was basically drooling! All of these look so good, and that egg sandwich. I almost never eat egg but that looks good enough to try right now!

Gotta check this out more thoroughly later :)

So my mouth is watering now. These all look delicious! I want to try all of them! :) I love making my mom’s recipe of homemade pizza. It brings me back to my childhood, makes my family happy, and is delicious. :)

So happy to see the egg sandwich in the list. I made one just last night, and have done so SOOOO many times since it was posted. I always picture the author describing her deli/bodega experience with egg and cheese sandwiches and being determined to figure out how to make one as quickly and easily at home. She nailed it, and thanks to her I have, too!

Great post! How did you determine which recipes were the most popular??

The recipe I have made the most from your site is the mushroom risotto—I am now a true believer that risotto does not need constant stirring, and this makes risotto an easy and relatively quick weeknight meal option. I’d love more recipes with tricks like this one.

Where’s the chocolate pot de creme?? That has been the biggest hit. Hands down fav recipe from the blog!

Made the chicken parm meatballs for a pregnant friend who was feeling lousy – yum! Still make the lazy egg sandwich regularly. Love these posts.

The negative part about this post is not being able to eat them all instantly.

Yum, i will be trying several of these soon.
Your green pea hummos is one of my secrets now, our guests always ask for the recipe!
I’d love easy recipes with veggies. Anything easy to make and real’ tasty will do in fact!

I want to make all these recipes!

I love the chocolate pudding, though its always taken me more than 15 minutes!

I really, really need an excuse to make that French silk pie with the pretzel crust! Maybe I should host a party with nothing other than pie. Who needs a carefully planned playlist anyway?

Our favorite is your best fish tacos ever, we make it every 4th of July!

How could you forget the “best salmon tacos you’ll ever have”? It is the BEST thing we have ever made a staple. Once a week could not be enough for me…

I ate that egg sandwich for breakfast this morning…so did my 1 year old who never likes eggs! It’s a winner.

i’ve made the grown up grilled cheese endless times after you posted (and moved on to variations of it)! my husband calls it my “fancy grilled cheese.” it gets really fancy when when we get our favorite bread from our local bakery and cheese from the incredible “cheese of the world” here in queens. yes, it’s really called cheese of the world.

For us definitive the Nutella banana bread!!!! The kids love it and I think we have made it a million times already! Thank you again

Omg yum! I know where I will be finding my shopping list inspiration this week!

I’ve been making the Nutella Banana Bread since you posted it and it’s always a hit! It smells so nice that no one can resist it.

Wow! Will have to try one thing everyday.

I’ve made versions of the lazy egg ever since you first posted it!!! Soooo good!! I use whatever cheese I have on hand and usually top the egg with sriracha- best breakfast sand which ever.

inhave made those 2 in resident banana egg pancakes a lot!!! You always have the best and easiest recipes!

I eat the baked blueberry oatmeal every day for breakfast. I used to be a hard-core cereal eater and I’ve completely converted. Much healthier, cheaper, tastier! (Slightly more work, but worth it.)

The chicken parm meatballs are the bomb and they are now on regular rotation in my house!

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve made the lazy egg sandwich since you posted it! Yum!

Those chicken parm meatballs are LEGIT. They quickly because a family favorite. But what’s YOUR favorite, Joanna?

my go to recipe for banana bread is on this site. i just made some last night. another fav of mine is the roasted potato recipe. i’ve shared that with all my friends and agree it’s the best roasted potatoes!

When you first posted that egg sandwich I made it practically every day for a few months!

i have been making a zucchini quesadilla recipe of Martha’s for weeks and loving it. i add cumin or taco seasoning mix to the veggies, and i’ve played with adding in squash, black beans, omitting the corn if i’m out, it’s super customizable. serve with plain greek yogurt mixed with a little pickled jalapeno juice, and a bowl of salsa! unbeatable.
