Miner's MushMy French Canadian grandma used to make this for my dad and all his siblings. It has become a Jordan family staple. I like it with the anise, but feel free to adjust the amount or eliminate it all together. Kids generally don't like it with anise. |

Sumptuous Georgian Lamb StewOhhhh this was yummy. Really, if you are at least tolerant of lamb, you should try this. And if you love lamb like I do, you are in for a huge treat. I could not get enough of the sauce in this stew. I love how the Georgian stews often have you blend up huge amounts of cilantro and basil and toss them in. It gives the stew an… |

Lasagne Verdi all BologneseThis is the recipe that I have learnt to make in Bologna. It does take long preparation but it is well worth it. The Lasagne - the dish is called Lasagna in Naples but always Lasagne here - are light, the layers separate, very little bechamel is used. So the dish is rich and tasty without being heavy. It is the pride and joy of… |

This course was on Pizza & Flatbreads. We made four different breads all of which are excellent. Sadly they no longer offer these classes for the home chef; they were great fun and an… |

Bean GratinThis delicious and healthy recipe can be made with any variety of white bean, dried or canned. I used dried cannellini beans. Great Northern beans or other white beans will work too.
