Crawfish Pie

This traditional crawfish pie uses Creole seasonings from the Gulf Coast. A tender flaky pie crust is loaded with a savory filling that features crawfish tails but also works well with shrimp.

Mashed Potatoes with Sour Cream

Fluffy mashed potatoes with sour cream make a perfect side dish for chicken, beef or seafood entrees.

Cherry Turnovers

Dark cherries make these classic cherry turnovers irresistible, especially in high-summer cherry season. If you miss it, this recipe works with frozen cherries once they have been thawed. Use premade puff pastry (such as Dufour's) or takes some time and make your own (recipe in notes).

Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake

Not only is this lemon blueberry pound cake sweet and satisfying, but with blueberries and lots of lemons, it is a cheerful addition to any picnic or weekend party. Bake it in a well-oiled bundt pan, let it cool and you are ready to go.

Sheet Pan Nachos

Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

These big, soft chocolate chip walnuts cookies have a home-style appeal and generous chunks of walnuts. They are made with bread flour and cold butter to keep their shape. All to showcase the soft, melted chocolate chips throughout.

Spinach Omelette

This spinach omelette relies on good cookware - specifically, a non-stick omelette pan or skillet. Fresh spinach and creamy cheese are encased in a fluffy egg base for an easy breakfast for two.

Lobster Risotto

A true love match, lobster and risotto combine to create a luxurious dish. Arborio rice is gently cooked with a flavorful broth until silky-soft and mixed with meaty lobster and then served hot.

Honey Walnut Shrimp

This sweet and spicy honey walnut shrimp, based on a Hong Kong classic, makes a perfect appetizer or special dish for a big feast. This honey walnut shrimp recipe features juicy fried shrimp paired with sweet honey walnuts and coated with a tangy, savory sauce.

Laminated Dough (Pâte Feuilletée)

This French laminated dough is also known as pâte feuilletée which means "dough of leaves". This technique of laminated dough got its start in Vienna, possibly with a little help from the ancient pastries of Morocco. No matter its origin, it was codified along with other classics in the French pâtisserie tradition, and it is the puffiest of them all.

Matcha Cookies

These sweet, buttery matcha cookies have a muted green color and a hint of umami. They are made with matcha, an antioxidant-loaded green tea powder. Shape them as elegant tea leaves to make an original addition to any cookie plate.

Strawberry Tres Leches

This strawberry tres leches makes the ultimate afternoon snack or a festive, satisfying dessert. "Tres leches" means "three milks" and is a classic cake throughout Latin America. The sweet milk sinks into a soft sponge cake, which then gets covered with strawberries and cream.

Chicken Tostadas

Easy, healthy, and satisfying, these chicken tostadas offer some spicy crunch and classic flavors of Tex-Mex cuisine. Incredibly flavorful and customizable, enjoy the contrast of flavors and textures of this chicken tostada recipe any day of the year.

Shrimp Fajitas

Shrimp fajitas are a quick and easy shrimp dish served sizzling hot with avocado, lime and crema. All you need is a fresh side salad for a complete, healthy weeknight meal.

Chilaquiles Rojos

Chilaquiles rojos is a specialty of Mexico that features a classic spicy red sauce and crunchy chips. It makes a hearty breakfast or brunch dish and is perfect as a side dish for a tasty dinner.

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

Hitting Home: The Kentucky Bourbon Trail - Food Market Gypsy

Sometimes you can't tell how far you've traveled until you rumble all the way back and hit home. When I left Kentucky in 1975, bourbon was a blase part of blue grass culture like coal, horses, and Ohio River catfish that few of us dared to eat. "The grass only looks blue..."

Old & New Nordic in Iceland - Food Market Gypsy

Reykjavik is not a cheap-eats town. As trawlers, seiners, barges and battered military ships churned in and out of the icy, early-winter marina, bowls of fish stew from the dock shacks cost as much as a steakhouse dinner in the states.

Milk Chocolate Cup-of-Fluffs

Can candy be too sweet? Not for us! The real delight of this sweet, sweet pairing of fluffy nougat and shredded coconut is what professional taste-testers call mouthfeel. The airy nougat softens, the coconut and almonds crunch, and the hefty milk chocolate shell melts and coats your palate with feel-good chocolate.

Farm-to-Table Tableaux in the Berkshires - Food Market Gypsy

Reubens & the Women's March in Cincinnati - Food Market Gypsy

Cincy was my sports town in the days of Pete Rose and Johnny Bench. We rolled in from the nearby hills of northern Kentucky where my family ran a local newspaper. Folks, this was going to the city. I still associate Cincinnati with ball park peanuts, fountains, and German-influenced culinary fare.

Artful Cookies in Italy - Food Market Gypsy

Cannoli, the popular cookies of Sicily, began as Carnival pastries (circa 1500's) shaped as cylinders around wooden canes, dipped in hot oil, allowed to cool then filled with smooth, sweetened ricotta cheese. They have changed very little except now they are often made with stainless steel cylinders instead of canes and their decorations include roasted pistachio pieces and candied fruit.

5 recipes for traditional, homemade Halloween candy

There's something about Halloween candy that brings out the child in all of us and sends even normally restrained grown-ups diving into trick-or-treat buckets in search of Reese's and M&M's. So it sounds almost sacrilegious to say this, but something terrible has happened to candy corn.

Flour: Grains of the Gods

Bread and chocolate are connected not just through the classic pastry pain au chocolate, but through the many ancient gods and goddess that watch over them.

Love & Lox in Norway - Food Market Gypsy

I don't fall in love easily beyond an occasional cashmere sweater at an end-of-season sale. When I go someplace new and beautiful and hear my vagabond voice say "maybe you should quit your job and live here instead?", I can usually shut that bratty inner child right up. What about your family?

Look what we made earlier . . . yummy home-made chocolate Easter treats | The Times

Children of smug parents won't be eating cheap eggs this Easter - they'll be feasting on home-made gourmet chocs My sugar thermometer doesn't get a lot of use, to be frank. Yes, I do have one but it lives in a bottom drawer, next to the filters for the old coffee machine and the never-used jar-opener mother gave me.

Beckoned By Black Forest Cake in Berlin - Food Market Gypsy

Seriously, this was a business trip. We HAD to find a quality slice of Black Forest Cake even though it was sought only by old-fashioned, German-language-less tourists like me. Most people seemed oblivious to the fact that this cake was born in Berlin. Where was its memorial? Where was its shrine?

Southern Green Beans in Appalachia - Food Market Gypsy

Late-summer cicadas craft the music of Kentucky with long rattling notes. My borrowed tee shirt has familiar Ashland Tomcats on the front. I don't remember ever having such a shirt yet it feels like mine. How did I conjure teenage dreams that led me up and out of this mountain town?

The Gift I Gave Myself

Zipping Up the Paradox In Paris - Food Market Gypsy

If you've been on a dessert-tasting tour of central Europe for 2 weeks, the dress shops of Paris frighten you. Over-crowded museums in summer heat are suddenly urgent on your agenda. Then I heard the siren song of this dress, vintage Herve Leger in nude, tags still on, swinging amid second-hand sequined tops and black lace blouses.

Something Fishy in Finland - Food Market Gypsy

Because it was selected as one of the top ten food markets ever by Food Lover's Guide to the World from Lonely Planet, my expectations for the Helsinki Fish Market were running high and the rest of me was running late.

Caramel Pecan Tortoises Recipe - Food Republic

Directions For the milk-chocolate caramel: Put the ice in a large bowl and set aside. Place the sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Stir the mixture until it resembles wet beach sand. Use a moist paper towel to wipe out any sugar that clings to the inside of the pan.

Moonlight Oysters in Boston - Food Market Gypsy

"Listen to me. There is no more money," said my boss Sam, a stylish, 60-ish adman in his corner office near the Boston waterfront. A steady parade of us (copywriters, art directors, producers, and associate producers in my case) filed in for raises as late fall faded and winter moved in like an evening cold front across the harbor's sailboats and ferries.

In the wake of a large earthquake in Los Angeles in the 1990's that followed a wave of race riots, I wrestled with the constitution of my character. What purpose did I serve beyond my own survival? What good was I?

Sachertorte mit globalism in Vienna - Food Market Gypsy

I know, I know...Vienna has always been a cosmopolitan city. But we approached it as a dessert capital - a singular exemplar; a province of old-world excellence. If other discoveries awaited us in this city, we didn't care. While Vienna delivered on its culinary promise, we could not ignore how it asserted itself as a contemporary center of globalism.
