Turkey Roulade

2024-11-21T09:36:31-05:00November 21st, 2024|Categories: Meat and Poultry, Thanksgiving|Tags: |

I must confess—I am not a big fan of the roasted whole turkey. At a time when I need as much oven space as possible for the multitude of dishes that I serve on Thanksgiving, the huge whole turkey monopolizes most of my oven space.  I also find it impossible to get the whole turkey [...]

Chestnut Soup

2024-11-20T10:10:38-05:00November 20th, 2024|Categories: Soups, Thanksgiving|Tags: |

I make this delicious soup once a year at Thanksgiving.  It’s a bit of a production and quite rich, but well worth the time, effort, and calories.  For a real showstopper, serve the soup in a hollowed out fresh pumpkin soup tureen, or serve in individual hollowed out acorn squash shells.  Best wishes for a [...]

I first became acquainted with this extraordinary soup during a stay in South Florida one winter. My husband had been under the weather with a flu-like [...]

Jeweled Fruit Compote

2024-09-30T09:07:31-04:00September 30th, 2024|Categories: Desserts, Rosh Hashanah|Tags: , |

Here’s a recipe that will chase away the fruit salad doldrums. The kitchen smells heavenly as the pears simmer in their poaching liquid, redolent of vanilla bean, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and Amaretto. I like to serve the compote accompanied by biscotti or meringues.

As the days get shorter and the air is crisper and cooler, I am back in my kitchen baking after a summer hiatus.  One of my favorite cakes to bake during this season is Autumn Spiced Honey Chiffon cake. While this cake is baking, an ambrosial aroma of warm honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and [...]

Here’s my version of the ever popular Sweet and Sour Chicken. This dish evokes fond memories of the days when my children were still living at home. It was their most requested meal. A hit with children, this recipe doubles as a delicious main course to serve your dinner guests. I like to serve Sweet [...]
