Of the many ways of making creamed spinach, this is my favorite: a classic, steakhouse-style recipe, topped with breadcrumbs and cheese and baked until bubbling. It can be prepared ahead of time and put in the oven just before serving. Be sure to drain the spinach of as much liquid as possible before mixing it…
Gnocchi alla Romana
This old-fashioned Italian recipe is considered “nursery food,” because children love the soft, creamy texture and delicate cheesy flavor. For adults, it’s a nostalgic comfort food. Semolina flour is essential, and yes, you do have to stir the mixture until it separates from the sides of the pan, or your arm falls off—whichever comes first….
My Favorite Meatloaf
I shouldn’t really call this “My Favorite Meatloaf,” as it changes depending on what I have in my fridge. A more fitting name would be, “My Favorite Way of Making Meatloaf.” Start with three or four kinds of ground meat, which you can substitute as you wish—ground beef, turkey, veal, pork, and sausage all work…
Barmbrack (Irish Fruit Bread)
Barmbrack is a dense, spiced bread that’s speckled with dried fruit. Raisins are traditional, but you can also add glacé cherries or candied citrus peel. Tea gives the bread a lovely flavor, but some bakers add a bit of whiskey in place of some of the tea for a little more complexity. Makes 1 loaf,…

Mini Apple Cakes With Maple Syrup
This is a fun dessert to make during weekends or holidays, especially if you involve children in the grating step. Of course, you can also shred the apples in a food processor, but where’s the fun in that? Try baking these cakes in decorative molds (very well greased), and dust generously with powdered sugar to…
Whole Baked Apples
I love how baked apples look, so crinkly and golden, and how easy it is to make this festive fall dessert. The variations are endless and really anything goes. This recipe calls for dried fruits, a splash of brandy, and a whole cinnamon stick, for both flavor and a charming presentation. Sometimes, I make them…
