These were always a hit at my annual Gifts from the Kitchen class. They make a great homemade treat to share over the holidays.

Some tried-and-true tips to make your holiday cookies stand out!

I love everything about this recipe. It’s special enough for a dinner party but easy enough (if you make the sauce ahead) for a weeknight.

This was a perennial favorite of my cooking school students through the years. If you’re looking for an alternative to blue cheese, try a horseradish sauce

I love food with a sense of whimsy. Mushroom Potatoes might be the cutest side dish you’ll serve all year.

While it’s true that the family generally provides it, all holidays need a touch of drama! This deeply spiced pumpkin pie topped with a cloud of bourbon-infused cream and a darling  acorn will provide it.

I consider Zinberry  Sauce to be the little jewel on my Thanksgiving table.

Sometimes I’ll start with a spoonful of cooked white rice in a bowl before ladling in the soup.

It’s humble, hearty, and comforting in that way only old-fashioned recipes can be.
