Jerusalem Artichoke and Potato Chips with Mustard Salt
Steak and chips is an Australian institution, and my take on this classic involves perfectly crisp Jerusalem artichokes sprinkled with a punchy mustard salt. They're the perfect partner for the robust T-bone.
Plum Freezer Jam With Cardamom and Ginger
Neither long simmering nor heat-canned, this vibrant, lightly spiced jam couldn't be simpler to prepare. Red-fleshed plums lend a gorgeous garnet color, but any variety works well.
22-Minute Pad Thai
Tamarind juice concentrate helps gives this riff on the popular Thai stir-fry its tangy flavor.
Caramel Corn Clusters
Fall harvest snack? Check. Homemade Halloween treat? Check. Movie-night nibble? Check. We’ll be batching these nutty, crunchy clusters for the weekend (and to get us through next week, too).
Sweetie Pie's Tender Oven-Baked St. Louis-Style BBQ Ribs
Folks in St. Louis pride themselves on their ribs. You could say it's the city's signature dish. Growing up in the projects like we did, we didn't have a barbecue pit or a smoker, so when we wanted ribs, my mom came up with this way of doing them in the oven. Another way she'd make her ribs was to cut the rack into small slabs of two or three ribs, marinate and season them, and then fry them up—just like you'd do a pork chop. Serve with potato salad or mac and cheese.
T-Bone Steak with Thyme and Garlic Butter
Is there anything better than a beautifully cooked steak? I love the simple flavors in this recipe—just great-quality meat paired with a garlicky herb butter. Perfect!
Green Beans Amandine
An exciting twist on green beans, this dish features an easy sauce made with vanilla, white wine and butter.
Ancho Tortilla Soup
Ancho chilies are dried Poblano chilies, and have an earthy, sweet flavor and mild heat level. This classic tortilla soup is a creative way to use leftover turkey—substitute 1 1/2 cups finely chopped cooked turkey for the chicken.
Smoked Paprika Salmon with Spinach
A sweet-smoky rub featuring smoked paprika, brown sugar and cinnamon complements salmon's moderate flavor and moist meaty texture. Served on a bed of sautéed spinach, this dish makes a lovely presentation for entertaining.
Peppered Herb Rib Roast
Coarsely cracked Peppercorn Mélange is the key ingredient in the spice rub for this special-occasion beef rib roast. The seasonings flavor the meat and develop a spicy crust. Be sure to allow a 15-minute standing time before carving so the meat temperature will rise and the meat will carve more easily.
Roasted Balsamic Beets
Beets are typically prepared with sweet and sour flavors. In this recipe, roasting brings out the sweetness and a balsamic glaze adds the piquant notes.
Roasted Turkey with Smoked Paprika
Smoked Paprika adds sweet, smoky flavor and beautiful color to roasted turkey. Everyone will be thankful for this centerpiece of the holiday table.
Melon Salad With Arugula, Fennel, and Marjoram
The combination of melon, marjoram, and sweet moscato vinegar in this delicate salad tastes like summer to me. When I serve guests this dish, I like to watch them take their first bite and enjoy a moment of pure bliss as the melon juices run down their chin.
Flourless Apple, Almond, and Ginger Cake
I found this recipe while working with a lady who is gluten intolerant. At that time there weren't many recipes for her dietary needs and I wanted to make a special cake for her birthday. It's quite large, always popular and well suited for dessert. It's also great for Passover—a bonus!
Charred Tomatillo Salsa
To choose a fresh tomatillo, they should be firm and the husks mostly intact. A split is ok, but you want them looking pretty tight. Roast the onions here if you like a deeper, caramelized flavor, or add them in raw for a more authentic salsa.
Roasted Maple Delicata on Quinoa Pilaf
The glorious thing about delicata squash opposed to other autumn squash is that the skin is absolutely edible once roasted. The maple and spice here play off it's naturally sweet flavor.
Shrimp and Corn Fritters
Bursting with fresh corn and a hint of spice, these summery fritters take inspiration from the Southern classic shrimp and grits.
