Thanksgiving Pie
All Your Favorite Thanksgiving Dinner Flavors in a Pie I am a huge fan of day-after Thanksgiving sandwiches, combining all of the holiday dishes, but look at this slightly more formal variation – Thanksgiving Pie – from Sherry Gore’s book, Me, Myself, and Pie. We might be trying this version as well as one substituting mashed sweet potatoes for […]

Graham Crackers
Homemade Graham Crackers with Graham Flour Graham crackers might bring a few things to mind – perhaps preschool snacks, s’mores or graham cracker crumb crusts? They are a classic American childhood snack and they also find their way, particularly as a crust, into many desserts. Maybe they don’t seem very exciting to you on their […]

Caramelized Vidalia Onion Bacon Cornbread
Vidalia Onions Taken to a New Level Just typing those words gets me going. The naturally sweet Vidalia onions are caramelized in bacon fat until golden then a classic cornbread batter is poured on top with the crumbled, crisp bacon folded in. Drool worthy. We like to make these in a cast-iron pan. I used […]
Vidalia Onion Apple Upside Down Cake
A Sweet and Savory Upside Down Cake Onions in a cake? YES! We had testers who couldn’t tell the Vidalia onions were there – they sort of melt into to the cake – but everyone loved the sweet and savory aspects to this take on the classic upside down cake. Try this for brunch with […]

He knows bread and has written several books on the topic, including the James Beard Award winning Crust & Crumb. You can also watch him discuss the art of bread and yeast in his TED Talk.

Adventure Bread Gluten-Free Bread
Hearty – and Gluten-Free! This Adventure Bread from Josey Baker Bread got my attention first because it was so interesting and hearty looking and then when I learned that it was a gluten-free bread, I thought, I have to learn how to make it! This is not a delicate bread, but toasted with some goat cheese […]
Meatball Muffins
I don’t do nearly as much savory baking as I do sweet and I am always interested in what others are creating. These, my friends, are inspired. While I always say follow a recipe to the letter the first time you make it, I was immediately thinking about variations: adding or subbing in Romano or […]
Homemade Fromage Blanc
The milk for cheesemaking needs to be fresh – no older than 48 hours. Ask at your grocery store when milk is delivered and try to buy it the same day. You will need two pots for this recipe: an 8-qt/7.5-L pot for the milk and a 2-qt/2-L pot for the buttermilk. Including crème fraîche […]

The aroma wafting from the oven while these are baking is literally mouthwatering. This gougères recipe, based on classic pâte à choux dough, features Gruyere cheese, a bit of thyme, bacon and a dash of dried mustard baked into a savory hors d’oeuvre. They might sound fancy, but these can get into the oven in the […]
Savory Smoked Salmon Cheesecake
Yes, this is a savory cheesecake, but hear us out. What’s not to love about cream cheese, salmon, fresh dill and a hint of lemon all tied together with the flavors of an everything bagel? A version of this cheesecake recipe first appeared in The Wedding Cake Book, where I presented it as a wedding-cake-shaped […]
Pumpkin Cornbread
Rich and silky canned pumpkin purée can enliven so many baked goods – biscuits, cakes, muffins, mousses, you name it. We particularly like it with cornbread, as the result balances perfectly between sweet and savory. A nice, warm hunk of this orange-hued pumpkin cornbread goes as well with a bowl of chili as it does […]
