About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Earthy and beautiful dishes with subtle flavouring that're also good for you.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Chili when the temperature hits the 50s in early fall. Oyster stew and potato soup on Christmas Eve. Cookies, fudge, and divinity at Christmas. Fresh-from-the-garden cucumbers and onions in late June. A supper of peas, new potatoes, green onions, radishes, and wilted lettuce straight from the garden in spring. Sweet corn dripping with butter in July. From-scratch angelfood cake on my birthday!
My cooking triumphs
The first time I made a picture-perfect lasagne.
My cooking tragedies
Every once in a while I forget to add the yeast when baking bread.

Group Effort Pasta
Simple & elegant. The only changes I made were to chiffonade the spinach and to add some very-thinly-sliced sweet onion. This is truly an excellent light lunch or supper dish that doesn't bog you down later. I'd strongly advise against dousing it in butter or any other grease. Thanks, Motts!

Best Ever Fudge
Sorry, I had high hopes for this but fudge it ain't. Tastes exactly like what it is - melted chocolate chips. If you've never actually tasted real homemade fudge you likely won't know the difference, but if you have, skip this recipe and stick with cocoa and a candy thermometer - more work, but the result is worth it.

Potato Puff Casserole
This is a really nice, well-proportioned recipe that's great as-is.
