Serve this puree with poultry, pork or game. Make it ahead of time to rewarm in the oven or prepare it in the slow cooker while you make other dishes for the meal. It's ideal for special occasions.
Sweet nuts are a welcome addition to a cheese platter or are delicious on a salad.
This pickerel is lightly pickled in soy sauce and vinegar, which preserve the fish and offer Philippine adobo-style taste notes. You can make it ahead and refrigerate it for up to two days - the pickled flavour will become more pronounced the longer the pickerel is refrigerated. Serve hot or cold with crusty bread or rice.
Coarse sugar coats these delightful cookies, giving them an icy glow. Baking them just until the edges begin to firm up delivers chewy cookies; for crispier results, bake until the tops are firm too, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Keep in mind that these cookies harden while cooling, so it pays not to bake them until they're overly crisp.
Serve the sandwiches for dinner, reserving some of the pork and mayonnaise mixture for your child's lunch the next day. Assemble the sandwich in the morning. It's just as yummy when the pork is cold.
Bake only six of these lacy tile-shaped cookies (tuiles in France) at a time. This gives enough time for shaping over a waiting rolling pin or bottle while they are still pliable.
Let the kids decorate these little people to their hearts' content with Royal Icing.
