Bistro Bundt-Pan Chicken with Shallots and Potatoes
There’s actually a fair amount of “classical” French cookery here: the chicken roasted with a mustard glaze, the potatoes done in a little chicken fat (as it runs off the bird). Serve this rich meal alongside a shredded lettuce and carrot salad with a vinegary dressing.

Pulled Pork Sliders
There are not a lot of fair foods that can actually work for a family dinner, but these pulled pork sliders are can. They’re made in a slow cooker, so there’s a built-in ease. Anyone can make these.

This savory blend tastes great on hamburgers, steaks, brisket, and beef ribs.
