PERSIAN KUFTEH BERENJI by Linda Tay Esposito

Big balls of aromatic fresh herbs, rice, beef and lamb. It's a whole meal by itself. Adding dairy to meatballs make them tender. The Advieh is a Persian spice mix of cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, cloves and rose petals.

Hungarian Gulyas Soup by Gyula Sziraczky

This is my really first recipe I've ever "published"...anywhere. So I thought that a traditional, very traditional, Hungarian dish would be appropriate (since I was born in Hungary). The best way to make this soup is to cook it outside in a "bogracs" (a small, round metal pot with handles) over real fire! Try it and you will never…

Brisket a la Carbonnade by Veronica Gantley

Atlanta Brisket by Robyn Savoie

Atlanta Brisket is a braised, southern dish featuring boxed onion soup mix, ketchup, and Atlanta’s own Coca-Cola. In this recipe I replaced the artificial-tasting soup mix with sautéed onions and garlic powder, brown sugar, and dried thyme. To ensure that the brisket was seasoned throughout, pierced it with a fork and salted it…

Braised Short Ribs with Vegetables by Nancy Miyasaki

I absolutely love the mouthwatering taste of short ribs. This preparation, which has a richly flavored gravy chock full of vegetables, is absolutely fantastic. It's also beautiful to serve (don't be discouraged by the picture)! A perfect dish for a dinner party. You're guests will rave about it.

Pork and Shrimp Pot Stickers by A.L. Wiebe

This is my version of a really delicious fried dumpling. I have found many recipes for pot stickers over the years, and it seems that no two are alike. I have made adaptations according to what I have on hand and what I like. Also, I use my handy dandy dumpling folder-upper-thingy that I have pictured here. It cost me 50 cents at a…

Oven Brisket with Au Jus by myra byanka

This brisket recipe makes a very flavorful natural gravy that can be used for French Dip Sandwiches, cheesesteaks, and other things. Since beef broth is complicated to make, I save the leftover au jus and freeze it.

Spaghetti with Mushroom Herb Clam Sauce by Robyn Savoie

One of the simplest and quickest yet most pleasing ways to prepare clams is in this simple sauce and served over pasta. Combined with fresh tomatoes and herbs, the dish has a decidedly summertime cast. The clams to use for dishes such as this are the smallest available - littleneck's. These clams are steamed open with various…

Slow Braised Red Wine Lamb Stew with Moroccan Spices is fragrant and hearty. Elegant comfort food, perfect for a special occasion.

Pot Roast by John A. Dryzga

My father had a large repertoire of dishes that he prepared expertly. One of these dishes was by far the most requested, his pot roast. When family or friends were coming to visit, "Is Ray going to make his pot roast?" was the inevitable question. Not a pot roast always HIS pot roast. He was always more than happy to oblige. Now…

Easy Spinach & Artichoke Dip by Clarisa Skinner

Everything's better with Ranch, so it stands to reason that Spinach dip would be too. This is one of the dishes that my entire family expects me to show up with for all gatherings and holidays!

Moroccan Chicken with Tomatoes, Chickpeas and Mint by Cecelia Heer

This is a version of a tagine, a classic Moroccan stew. Although I have an authentic tagine, I prepare this dish in my Dutch oven. I use only dark meat because it stays moist when braised and absorbs the variety of spices really well. This is delicious served over couscous (preferably tri-colored).

Tagine of Chicken with Preserved Lemons, Olives & Artichoke Hearts by Bob Vincent

Since I just finished preserving lemons I needed something to try them out on. This recipe is adapted from one by Claudia Roden in her book Arabesque. The original did not use chicken broth which I used. I also skinned the chickent pieces; browned…
