Thumb_13497_Skillet Spoonbread Cobbler With Vegetables

This soufflé-like spoonbread is gussied-up cornbread -- made with corn chips instead of cornmeal for heartier flavor and texture. Add a cupful of fresh corn to the vegetable mix if available. Read more about this recipe on the Washington Post.

Thumb_15915_Crisp-Skinned Roast Duck

This recipe results in a well-done bird with crisp skin and meat that almost falls off the bones. It involves four hours of cooking time but no roasting rack is required -- and the duck does not suffer for it. Read more about this recipe at the Washington Post.

Thumb_15799_Vanilla Ice Cream

Though everyone has their favorite ice cream flavor, sometimes nothing beats plain old vanilla, especially accompanied by a warm slice of pie or dark chocolate cake. This recipe calls for whole vanilla bean to give the ice cream authentic vanilla flavor.

Thumb_8778_Rosemary-Apple Meatloaf

If you are going to make meatloaf, well, ever, consider buying a meatloaf pan. It is a two piece pan, the top part (where you put the meat) is perforated and sits on top of the bottom pan so all of the juices (read: fat) run off the meat and into the pan. Read more about this recipe at Coconut & Lime.

Thumb_8852_A Winter Chicken

This is really a fricassee (creamed chicken with the bone in) with some available-in-winter vegetables concealed in ivory splendor in the ivory sauce. Unusual and very good. Like this recipe? Find more like it in one of Barbara Kafka's many excellent cookbooks.

Thumb_10890_Chocolate Sorbet

Thumb_10890_Chocolate Sorbet

This is delicious sorbet can be made without an ice-cream maker (though ice-cream makers turn out perfectly fine sorbets). You'll need to leave enough time for it to freeze, so start the process well in advance. This recipe is part of the Barbara Kafka Dessert Anthology.
