    Turnip (Rutabaga) Gratin

    Turnip (Rutabaga) Gratin

    Rutabagas are the large yellow-fleshed root vegetables that are usually waxed, and are oftentimes called yellow turnips. Actually, turnips are small and white-fleshed, and they have purple tops. I prefer rutabagas for their stronger, spicier flavor. Here is my...

    Chestnut Pure

    Chestnut Pure

    Rich, intensely flavored, and naturally sweet, this aristocratic dish is not as time-consuming as it appears to be. You can prepare the chestnuts in advance and freeze them if you like. My method of removing the chestnut meat is by far the easiest I've found. If you...

    Arugula and Boston Lettuce Salad

    Arugula and Boston Lettuce Salad

    The incomparable flavor of arugula can easily be overpowered by a strong salad dressing. The best way to accentuate its wonderful flavor is to use only a light dressing of lemon juice and olive oil with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. SERVES 4 1 head Boston lettuce,...

    Maple Pancakes

    Maple Pancakes

    I like my pancakes to have crispy edges. The secret? Put a little butter on the pan instead of oil. These pancakes are at once wholesome and light. To keep the finished pancakes hot while you cook the remaining batter, heat a cookie sheet in a 300В°F oven, and spread...

    Granola

    Granola

    Some granolas are filled with nutritious ingredients but somehow aren't particularly appetizing. This is the best granola I've tasted. It has a deliciously sweet cinnamon flavor though not overly sweet and just the right balance of textures. It is very easy to make,...

    French Toast with Orange and Brandy

    French Toast with Orange and Brandy
