Spinach and Ricotta Balls - Gnudis by John Spottiswood

I've been looking for tasty ways to cook spinach and wild greens because they are so healthful. This one is fantastic. These are called Gnudis in Florence because they are "nude", e.g. missing the pasta on the outside. These are sort of like a spinach ravioli without the pasta. If that doesn't sound all that flavorful to you, wait…

Potato and Sweet Potato au Gratin with Herbs by Nancy Miyasaki

This is not the lightest recipe I've made, but it's a real treat when you are having guests and want to splurge. I love the flavor and color combination of the sweet and gold potatoes. It's a wonderful twist on a classic French standby.

You can make great gravy even without pan drippings. If you've got a few vegetables and some chicken or beef broth, you can make a rich, full-bodied gravy. Serve this over meat, vegetables, potatoes or rice.

Corn Bread Chile Rellenos by Patrick Travis

This is a cross between corn bread and chile rellenos I pulled together using a cornbread recipe that uses no baking soda or powder so its very dense.

Caribbean Peas & Rice by John Spottiswood

This popular dish throughout the Caribbean is similar to red beans and rice, but made with a few more spices and with crowder, pidgeon, or black-eyed peas instead of red beans. If you can't find any of these, though, red beans make a fine substitute. This is great comfort food that is a nice mellow contrast to spicy-sweet Caribbean…
