Recipes from the Los Angeles Times Test Kitchen

(Glenn Koenig / Los Angeles Times)

HEARTY: The black bean soup at Las Brisas restaurant in Laguna Beach. Click here for the recipe.

We test, on average, more than 600 recipes a year. Roughly 400 of these make it to print. That means you don't have to worry about a trial run before serving one of our recipes to company — rest assured, it should work the first time out of the gate.

You can follow our test kitchen triumphs and the occassional mishaps at our food blog, latimes.com/dailydish.

Finally, bookmark this page: The recipe collection that follows includes all of our newest recipes and is updated each week.
