DRINKS / LIBATIONS

DRINKS / LIBATIONS by Amos Miller

We will assume this event will be an adult gathering, so if children will be present, we need to provide suggestions to make them enjoy the party without any side effects except a bit of sugar...but we do have a couple of non-alcoholic punches lined up - and there is always the 'Shirley Temple'. But we'll address the needs of the…

NEVER throw stale bread away! You have the base for an absolutely delicious Creole bread pudding that will have your guests melting with pleasure.

Sugar Pumpkin - Break It Down!!

Sugar Pumpkin - Break It Down!! by Amos Miller

I know, you thought I was going to dance. No, sorry - this is a cooking site. We grow many things on Walnut Ridge Farm. One of my favorite times is right after the Sugar Pumpkin harvest, in the late Fall. The reason this is one of my favorite times is that I will be breaking down those special small, sweet and fragrant members…

Garlic Herbed Sweet Potatoes

Garlic Herbed Sweet Potatoes by Amos Miller

TRY THIS AT EASTER - it is a signature dish! It is sweet and savory with fresh herbs, dairy products and chicken broth. This is a North Carolina recipe, naturally healthy and rich in beta-carotene, the most common plant source of vitamin A. But who cares! This is delicious, even if it is good for you...besides, sweet potatoes…

Morel & Ramps Frittata - A Michigan Spring Breakfast

Morel & Ramps Frittata - A Michigan Spring Breakfast by Amos Miller

Once in Turkey, I asked a young man what made up a typical breakfast. He said, "The usual. goat cheese, olives, tea, an egg, if you wish." If that young fellow were here, and posed the same question to me, I would tell him, "Morels, ramps, eggs, cheese, bacon, French-pressed coffee, a biscuit, if you wish." This is a glorious…

Roast Chicken Oriental

Roast Chicken Oriental by Amos Miller

This recipe incorporates pure maple syrup with star anise, candied ginger, cinnamon and lemon. Virtually any rice dish (basmati, rice and peas, rice with raisins and nuts, etc.) and steamed seasonal vegetables will make a wonderful and festive meal. You create a sweet and tangy sauce by reducing pure maple syrup to the consistency…

Leftover 2-Bean Stew

Leftover 2-Bean Stew by Amos Miller

A quick bite using odds & ends was WAY too delicious not to post. Forget 8-bean and even 18-bean soups - 2 cans of beans, a few veggies and a little smoked sausage turned a toss-off dish into a tasty winner! I had no intention when I threw this together to share it with anyone other than a couple of hungry mouths in the kitchen.…

Savory Creole Sweet Potato Casserole

Savory Creole Sweet Potato Casserole by Amos Miller

No sweet topping here - this has breadcrumbs & bacon and the Creole twist of Jamaican Pickapeppa Sauce in the yams. It is good to venture outside your comfort zone from time to time - and this is a good way to start! I was set on this culinary path in 1987 when first introduced to Chef Austin Leslie at Chez Helene in New Orleans.…

Herbed Duck Broth with Wild Rice

Herbed Duck Broth with Wild Rice by Amos Miller

Take most of one duck, some fresh herbs, the flavors from a few vegetables and simmer. Voila! It's that simple. Almost. This recipe employs one duck, but you will be able to serve each of 6 to 8 diners a lovely bowl of this 'soup course' delight. What we have here is not a consomme, not a soup, and not really, by classical…

Cherry Winks ~ Classic Cookies

Cherry Winks ~ Classic Cookies by Amos Miller

This is the original recipe for a cookie that won the 2nd Pillsbury Bake Off. They contain dates, pecans, maraschino cherries, cornflakes and a kiss of vanilla extract. I have followed the original recipe but you G-F members will see my modifications for you in the Ingredints below. I've adapted the recipe for gluten intolerant…
