Entreés
Slow-Cooker Bratwurst and Sauerkraut
Brats and sauerkraut is the quintessential Oktoberfest meal. If it’s too chilly to grill or you’re itching to break your slow-cooker out, this is the recipe to kick off fall. I love to serve this as a sandwich, with beer, preferably at a tailgate. Go Huskies! Listen: Hear Chris describe this recipe on The Faith […]
Lazy Cheese Arepas with Slaw
These cheesy arepas are based on a recipe for the Colombian-style ones, which are distinguished from their Venezuelan counterparts by their flatter, larger shape and the fact that they can be made with yellow—as opposed to white— corn.
Carrot-Currant Crostata
We can SO see this on a holiday table. The carrot-currant combination, as author Charoltte Druckman says, is a winner.
Polenta with Shiitake Mushrooms
Polenta with meaty shiitake mushrooms is comfort in a bowl. Chris Prosperi made this for us for our pre-show meal, and we can’t wait to have it again.
Second-Day Salmon with Linguine
Leftover salmon, dill, crème fraîche (which makes an instant cream sauce), and pasta may sound like a date-night meal, but this is just for you.
