Chicken Big Mamou on Rice
Chicken Big Mamou is a recipe from Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen. My aunt Marjorie used to make this dish. She modified it, instead of one pound of butter, she uses 4 tablespoons and she also scaled back the cayenne. My cousin (in-law) Lisette made this for us last summer. She is a phenomenal cook and sent me her modifications. The original recipe is served over pasta, but I like it over rice.

Crispy English Potatoes with Pancetta
One of the things Brits excel in is roasted potatoes which usually accompany a Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding. The boiling and roughing-up method is the key to making very crispy potatoes. Once you do this the potatoes get rough on the edges, which makes them super crispy when roasted in the oven. These Crispy English Potatoes with Pancetta are a real crowd-pleaser.

Spaghetti with Garlic, Herbs, and Parmesan
A friend of mine recently took cooking classes in Tuscany and brought back some of this fantastic dried herb mix. I used to buy Ducros herb blend in France. Spaghetti with Garlic, Herbs, and Parmesan is one of my all-time favorite ways to eat pasta, especially when you are on a student budget. It was my equivalent of ramen noodles. It is so simple, yet so satisfying.

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!).

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.

“16 Bean” Pasta e Fagioli
This “16 Bean” Pasta e Fagioli is from Ina Garten’s new cookbook, Cooking for Jeffery. Pasta e fagioli, meaning "pasta and beans", is a traditional Italian dish. Pastafazoola, a 1927 novelty song by Van and Schenck, capitalizes on the Neapolitan pronunciation in the rhyme, "Don't be a fool, eat pasta fazool", and the Dean Martin song "That's Amore" includes the rhyme "When the stars make you drool, just like pasta fazool, that's amore".
