Makes 4 servings Squab is one of our favorite birds, although we do prefer the breasts. Don’t waste the legs, though. Make the sauce from them, and after they are cooked you can strip the meat off the bone and make a little squab salad, just like a chicken salad. […]
Until you taste them yourself, the idea of a sugared cranberries might seem awfully silly. An impossibly tart, dry-textured fruit covered in plain sugar? What do you do with it? And, why? We hear you, but also, we’re sugaring cranberries. And here’s why! Made simply by poaching fresh cranberries in […]
Makes 8 servings The whipped cream garnish is by no means mandatory, but it’s pretty tasty. You can use your blender or even hand whip the ingredients. For a vegetarian soup, use vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth.
Makes 8 to 10 servings A strata is a kitchen-sink breakfast dish that is made with egg, bread, cheese, and virtually anything else you would like! Like any good brunch recipe, stratas are best if made the day ahead, meaning less work in the morning—and that’s always a good thing. […]

Makes 6 servings Venison’s rich flavor and color has made it one of my favorite meats. It is also low in fat and is now fairly easy to purchase. If venison is unavailable, this recipe can be made using any dark game or poultry; duck is virtually interchangeable with venison. […]
Makes 6 to 8 servings Perfect for a smaller crowd or dark meat superfans, this braise is like cooking the turkey right in the gravy. The finished turkey is juicy and tender, with a bright acidity from the reduced wine sauce. Even better, it can be made the day ahead […]
Are you ready for some chili? We aren’t quite sure how chili and football became forever linked, but we know we like it. And while a hot bowl of chili is perfect for any old Sunday, we think the Big Game calls for a super chili spread! This year, don’t […]
