White Bean Soup With Ham, Pumpkin, and Chard

Colorful fruits and vegetables are loaded with nutrients.Here's a warming fall and winter stew that is so alive with color, […]
Guinness Beef Stew with Cheddar Herb Dumplings
We chose beef chuck for our Guinness beef stew recipe for its beefy flavor and its succulent texture after braising. Using Guinness as the sole liquid for braising produced an overly bitter stew that lacked backbone. We found balance in using just one 12-ounce bottle of Guinness along with some chicken broth (beef broth […]

This recipe is the perfect example of making something from almost nothing, but we wanted a heartier version with serious chunks of ham-something we could serve as a main course for dinner.The simplest ham and bean soup recipes are nothing more than dried beans and ham hocks simmered in water until the beans are tender […]

Chicken and Dumplings Stew For the Soul
A rich chicken stew that tastes just like a Sunday roast. Chicken thighs are simmered until falling off the bone and the cooking liquor is reduced until thick and gravy like, all before little clouds of chive & cheddar dumplings are plopped on top to steam and soak up the sauce. This is true […]
Chicken, Salsa Verde and Tortilla Casserole (Pastel Azteca)
Though Pastel azteca translates from the Spanish as “Aztec cake,” the dish often is referred to in English as Mexican lasagna, enchilada casserole or tortilla pie—and understandably so. It is comprised of corn tortillas layered with sauce, meat, cheeses, crema (a cultured cream similar to crème fraîche) and vegetables; a stint in the oven […]

Pinch Me, Frenchie (Savory French Onion Inspired Monkey Bread)
"Because you can get a recipe for French onion soup anywhere, I made a point to not include one in this book. Still, I cannot deny its appeal. The thing is that with every bowl of French onion I’ve ever slurped, what I enjoy most is the little crouton at the top soaked with sweet, […]
Turkey Meatballs with Soy and Sesame
Our turkey meatballs rival those made from beef or pork, thanks to a few test kitchen tricks. We start with 93 or 85 percent lean turkey; the 99 percent lean type didn’t have enough fat to create a palatable meatball. Next, we add an egg and fresh bread crumbs (instead of a panade, which made […]
Swedish Meatballs With Rich Gravy
Swedish meatballs, stars of 1960s-era cocktail parties and IKEA shopping trips, are, on the surface, pretty simple: a mix of pork and beef that’s lightly spiced and served with a rich gravy. Getting them just right, though, requires some fine-tuning and tinkering. Here’s our ultimate version, as good on a plate with buttery potatoes and […]

Making an apple crumble that tastes primarily of apples starts with plenty of fruit. We tossed 4 pounds of apples with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to enhance their bright flavor. Adding just 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the filling kept the apples from tasting too sweet. We baked the apples in a covered […]
