A Depression-era cake that stays damp for four days. The mayonnaise is the eggs and the oil, and you will never taste it.
Chuck steak braised until it gives, in a glossy soy and ginger sauce, with broccoli added at the very end so it stays green.
Buttermilk-brined thighs in a craggy seasoned crust, crisp all over in 25 minutes without a pot of hot oil.
Fresh green beans blanched bright, folded into a mushroom cream sauce built in one skillet, and baked under a thick crown of crispy fried onions.
A silky, deeply spiced pumpkin custard in a crisp, blind-baked crust, baked low and pulled while the center still wobbles so it sets without cracking.
Thin Yukon Gold slices simmered in garlic cream before they go in the dish, so they bake tender all the way through under a browned Gruyère and cheddar top.
A thick, smooth broccoli cheddar soup that stays velvety instead of grainy: a light roux, small florets simmered just tender, and sharp cheddar stirred in off the heat.
Tender chicken and vegetables in a thick, savory gravy under a flaky golden crust, with a filling cooled before it is covered so the pastry bakes crisp instead of steaming.
Southern chicken and dumplings: bone-in thighs simmered into a rich, lightly creamy broth, topped with fluffy drop dumplings that steam under a closed lid until light all the way through.
