Spaghetti Pie

Spaghetti Pie is an old family favorite of our friend Carol Stephens—sadly now gone but NOT forgotten—who served this to her large family in their farmhouse in the English countryside. It is traditionally cooked in a casserole dish (we always use a large soufflé dish) and served with ketchup, as there is no tomato sauce in this—it is spaghetti, minced beef, onions, parsley and cheese bound together with milk and egg (a twist of nutmeg is a must, and a bit of garlic and sautéed mushrooms are great in it, too. Cooking it in a bundt pan and cutting slices of it is a great improvement (we hope Carol would think so!).

Pumpkin Popovers

I ran across this recipe for Harry Connick Jr's Pumpkin Popovers in Good Housekeeping. I happen to love popovers. These are easily made in the blender and poured into a popover or muffin pan. Yum!

Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Maple Gastrique

The best thing about learning how to make a gastrique is that it’s extremely easy to do. It makes a simple dish look like it just came across the kitchen line of a four-star restaurant. A basic gastrique is a reduction of vinegar and sugar thick becomes a thick syrupy sauce. These Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Maple Gastrique is a perfect example. The tangy-sweet glaze works really well with these sweet potatoes.
