Is it any surprise that Culinary SOS is one of the Food section’s most popular features?

You ask for a recipe, and we do our best to go get it. (Sometimes, chefs don’t like to share their best dishes. But luckily, many chefs are flattered when we ask and happy to help.)

You can write to Culinary SOS at [email protected] or contact Noelle directly at [email protected].

In the meantime, here’s a look at SOS requests that we’ve answered recently:
