Every year I sit down to write this list and I’m reminded of how much talent and hard work goes into making Serious Eats as good as it is. I swear, it mostly has nothing to do with the fact that I’m in charge of the visuals of this website. Really! Photographers and illustrators of all words do so with our (1) most intricate, meaningful, nostalgic and/or bonkers compositions and (2) our over-the-top, delightfully no-deep-dive subjects and artistic visions. I am extremely proud.
Since January 1st, Serious Eats has published more than 400 recipes and another 400 articles and galleries, which means if you’ll allow me — the person who keeps track of these things — to make an educated guess, We published over 3,000 images. site in 2024. Believe me when I say that I love each and every one of them, but even among our editors there were a few that really stood out.
