Cod & Chorizo Stew

Dried mushrooms develop rich, earthy flavours in the slow cooker. Dried chanterelles are light coloured and have a lovely taste, but feel free to substitute other dried mushrooms.
Citizens of Porto are known throughout Portugal (and, indeed, Europe) as “tripe eaters.” Porto was home to the Portuguese navy and, for most of the 18th century, an important port for the British navy. Porto supplied the ships with huge quantities of salt beef, leaving the city with only the trimmings and innards, which evolved into this famous dish. The ingredient list might look daunting, but it's actually easy to prepare – it just requires lots of time and lots of pots. You can simplify it by eliminating some of the traditional meat ingredients. You can also substitute the calf's or cow's foot with veal shank. Tripe lovers will probably want to increase the tripe by up to double the amount. Porto-Style Tripe is always served with white rice.
Smoking turkey with applewood chips imparts a subtle sweet flavour that will make your meal extra special. If you love a strong smoky aroma, opt for a more potent wood, such as hickory. Always read the label before buying a turkey; for this recipe, you'll want an unseasoned bird, as turkeys labelled "seasoned" have already been salted.
This fruity topper is divine with cream cheese on crackers. Or spoon it over a round of Brie cheese and warm just until melting. – Heather Howe
Yellow wax beans partner with garlicky marinated mushrooms in this crunchy make-ahead salad. You can use green beans with, or instead of, the yellow ones.
