The easiest brownies you'll ever make

Pantry Brownies (Mary Elizabeth Williams)

You don’t need an expensive new piece of equipment, or an obscure ingredient you have to hunt for. You just need a fresh way of preparing an old favorite. In "One Way," we’ll revisit classic ingredients and dishes, giving them a new twist with an easy technique you haven’t tried before.

"Great British Bake Off" veteran Ruby Tandoh sees you. In her newest book, "Cook As You Are," she acknowledges the humble home cook, "in your ordinary kitchen, with your likes and dislikes, your tastes and aversions and your washing up piled in the sink." We may not have the same tastes, budgets or schedules, but what we share is a common need, and often, a common hope. We don't just want to feed ourselves and the people we share the table with, we want to do it well.
