Oatmeal Bread

This recipe is a standby for us - hearty and lightly sweet, it is as wonderful right from the oven as it is all week long. The recipe uses a combination of whole-wheat and all-purpose flours, rolled oats, and honey. It's an easy bread for a novice baker and makes two loaves.

Apple Crisp

By far, the best apple crisp I've ever made. A mix of apples and the "secret ingredient" of orange zest bring this dessert over the top.

Beef Stroganoff

This recipe will change the way you think about Beef Stroganoff - forever. It is so far removed from what I, as an American kid growing up in the 70's and 80's, knew as beef stroganoff that it was almost unrecognizable! Rich and creamy with notes of fresh dill and dijon. Amazing.

Bright Lights Chard Gratin

A creamy, lovely side dish making great use of Bright Lights (Rainbow) Chard or regular Swiss Chard! Lovely colors and flavors. A vegetarian main dish or hearty side.

Pedaling Through Burgundy Cookbook

Coq au Vin Blanc

This is not your typical Coq au Vin! Purists may disagree , but this version of the traditional French recipe for chicken braised in wine is one of the best I've come across and should hold a place of honor right next to its much-loved sister (red-wine-stewed) version. Starring white Burgundy table wine and split chicken breasts, the recipe is carried by the thyme, dijon and brandy that finish its sauce along with pearl onions, baby carrots and artichoke hearts. A fuss-free and elegant main dish for a special night.
