  • Parker House rolls

    • spharo00 on November 22, 2012

      I had a hard time getting these rolls started, as my yeast would not proof. I finally ended up using rapid-rise yeast after I depleted my stash of active dry yeast. They did rise after some time, but not by too much. They were a little on the hard and dry side and they did not come out looking as golden as the magazine suggested they would. With all the time I put in to these, I likely would not make them again after seeing the end result.

      We loved these. Might try with all butter - no shortening- next time. Pretty easy and we don't often make bread or rolls!

  • Grandma's pumpkin pie

    • spharo00 on November 22, 2012

      I made this pie with homemade butternut squash puree and a pie shell I had in the freezer. It was very easy to make and the pie itself turned out beautiful. It wasn't overly sweet and had a deep pumpkin flavor. The bourbon whipped cream was amazing. I followed a recipe from the Cook's Illustrated Best Recipes cookbook for Brandied Whipped Cream and just substituted bourbon for the brandy. It really set the pie over the top. Everyone loved it.

  • Spinach puffs

  • Turkey and mushroom risotto

    • jumali on November 28, 2012

      This dish just replaced my annual Turkey Tetrazzini. I was really surprised at how flavorful it was. I sautéed the mushrooms separately, and added them towards the end of cooking along with the cooked turkey. It was so good, I'm going to make it again using more turkey stock and meat that I was saving for soup.

  • Make-ahead turkey stock

    • jumali on November 17, 2012

      It only took me two hours, and not the recommended four to reduce the stock. It tastes great, but is cloudy, not clear as in the photo.

      This has been my to-go turkey stock recipe for Thanksgiving gravy for years. It always comes out a nice translucent color, perhaps a touch less clear than the photo. I strain it through a fine mesh strainer to remove tiny bits of meat. The one additional thing I do is lightly brown the carrots in the pot before putting in everything else and the water. (I also take the full four hours at a very low simmer. Boiling results in a muddier stock.)

  • "Simple is best" dressing

    • Rinshin on October 31, 2019

      After making all types of stuffing through the years, I found this years ago and liked it immediately. It is one of my fav stuffing along with chef Prudhomme’s cornbread stuffing.

Reviews about Recipes in this Book

  • Winter squash with spiced butter

    • Bitten Word

      Does this taste as good as it looks? Answer: Sadly, no. For all the spices packed into that spice butter, we thought the final product seriously lacked flavor.

  • Sweet potatoes with bourbon and maple

    • Bitten Word

      ...comforting, familiar flavors with an excellent twist. This glaze ... oh, lordy, this glaze. It is something else. It's the kind of sauce you want to eat on everything. It is divine.
