Chicken Scarpariello Stew by Cara Fernicola

Chicken Scarpariello is one of my favorite rustic Italian dishes. Its one of those dishes that set off every taste bud in your mouth. The heat from the cherry peppers, the sweetness from the peppers and honey, the delish garlic, and the balsamic vinegar - each one compliments the other. I came up with this version on a snowy day…

Greek Beef Stew by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious ethnic variation on classic beef stew. I think the cinnamon gives it a unique and delicious flavor. Adults and kids we have served this to both loved it. I adapted this from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything.

Umbrian Lentil Soup by John Spottiswood

We're going to Italy this summer with our family, so I'm trying some dishes from the areas we'll be staying. We're staying near Gubbio in Umbria, and will be visiting a number of the famous hill towns there, so I thought I'd try this Umbrian Lentil Soup. This soup has a warm inviting aroma and a country heartiness to it. The original…

Crock-Pot Maple Mustard Sauced Turkey Thighs by Robyn Savoie

The cool weather has finally arrived. Goodbye fresh corn and tomatoes, and hello stew! This is great in a crock-pot but if you don't have one, this is easily adaptable to the oven. The trick to slow cooking is to brown the meat first, before you put it in the slow cooker. You’ll just get more flavor that way. Turkey is a…

Slow Cooker Beef with Barley Soup by John Spottiswood

Cooking the pearl barley a long time gives this soup a nutty flavor and smooth texture. It's very different from the chewy texture you get when cooking regular barley over a shorter period. I adapted this from an America's Test Kitchen recipe and used about half the beef they called for and added the mushrooms. If you have big beef…

LOBSTER STOCK by Cecelia Heer

Recently, we visited Lobster Place in Chelsea Market in NYC and bought some fully-cooked lobsters which we brought home to eat. In my opinion, Lobster Place has the best lobsters outside of New England. With a name like that, one would think so. After enjoying the richness of the lobster meat, I saved the leftover bodies to use…

Homemade Ham Stock by Robyn Savoie

Whenever I make a ham dinner I always make sure to save the ham bone because it can be used in soups or stocks to which it adds a ton of flavor. The ham bone keeps well in the freezer so even if I don't plan on making a soup right away I freeze it for later. Or I will take the time and make the stock in advance and freeze that in…
