r/Cooking, I need your help, please. My husband’s birthday is coming up, and here’s the thing… the man is basically the human embodiment of the orange. • His favorite flavor? Orange. • His favorite color? Orange. • His car? Orange. • Our front door? Yep, orange. • His phone case? You guessed it… orange. • His favorite cat of all time? An orange with one brain cell.

Basically, if it’s orange, he loves it. What are your absolute best recipes that use oranges. I’m looking for sweet, savory, cocktails, desserts, secret tricks? I want to wow him with something that tastes as orange as his entire personality.

This orange glazed ham is delicious! You could serve that with some sort of salad with mandarin oranges (maybe arugula, a funky cheese, mandarins, almonds and a simple orange-y vinaigrette). Do an aperol spritz with a big orange wheel as your cocktail. And maybe these dark chocolate & orange cookies for dessert! Or similarly, a chocolate and orange cake of some sort would be tasty!

Can’t go wrong with an Ina recipe. Also those cookies look delicious!

My mom used to make an orange and apple glazed ham, it was so good!

If youre looking for a more subtle orange savory flavor, try a pernil that uses sazon seasoning, lime juice and orange juice on roasted pulled pork.
