File Gumbo / Chez HeleneThe late Chef Austin Leslie left a brilliant legacy of Creole dishes and he helped form my approach to the cuisine of NOLA. I follow no other recipe than the one he left me. When a dish is perfect, why stray? Fresh ingredients will tell the tale. Now, as my mentor Paula Wolfert admonishes: "Relax and follow the recipe"! |

Hannah's Sweet & Sour Cabbage SoupHumble, yet exhilarating, this delicious borscht is a perfect winter soup - inexpensive, perfect with bread and butter, it will warm and comfort you. I have used this recipe for the past 45 years without changing a thing (!) because it is untweakable and too simple to goof up. It is purely vegetarian, it is kosher, it can be… |

Country Ham & Black-Eyed PeasBlack-eyed peas are NOT just a Southern New Year's Day tradition. Paired with Jalapeno Maple Bacon Cornbread you can celebrate all year long. Nutrition runs amock in this massively-tasty stew. You can simmer this for a couple hours, but it is also a great slow-cook / crockpot dish. This is a pretty well-liked and common food south… |

This dish, known as 'Alu Ghobi', has long been a favorite vegetable side dish in my kitchen. It is simple, easy to make and very healthy for you. One seldom finds a cauliflower dish on the average restaurant menu. But you need not be a… |

MY Rogan JoshA long-time favorite of mine, and very popular in the UK, is this exquisite dish from Kashmir, northern India. Meat-eater or vegetarian, your palate will sing the praises of Rogan Josh! I first enjoyed the dish in 1968, when a very good friend introduced me to it in New York city. I've been hooked ever since. Unlike the dishes… |

Perfect Pear ButterIt's perfect. It's pear. I can't believe it's not butter. More like a fruit spread - or a glaze for fowl and pork!

Texas Chuck Wagon Chili (with Venison or Beef)I originally made this with chuck roasts that I would trim out and dice into 1/4 inch cubes. Yes, you will form a blister or two - but it is well worth it. In 1987, this chili, I'm pleased to say, was judged best by members of the Chicago Fire Department in a Chicago Chili Cookoff. This is truly a Texas Chuck Wagon Chili: no… |

Moroccan Hareera (Harira)I have read and respect the many recipes for this famous soup that have been posted on CookEatShare. However, I have not found a true recipe, as I experienced the dish, so I thought I should add the one I enjoyed several times a week, year 'round for nearly a decade. Commonly, and mistakenly, thought of as only a soup consumed to… |
