Recipes

Short ribs so tender the bone slides out. Brown them first, then fifty minutes in the pressure cooker does the rest.

Chicken thighs and baby potatoes in one air fryer basket. The potatoes get boiled first, which is the whole reason they come out crispy outside and soft in the middle.

Juicy blueberry muffins with a cinnamon streusel crunch on top. One bowl for the batter, one for the streusel, and about twenty minutes in the oven.

An easy upside down puff pastry tart made with fresh figs and peaches, baked on buttered parchment and finished with honey. Five ingredients, twenty minutes.

Grated zucchini straight into the batter, no salting and no squeezing. Seven savory pancakes, soft and golden, with a garlic yogurt sauce that is the reason to make them.

A puff pastry tart with brie, fresh figs and honey. Ten minutes to put together, twenty in the oven, and it looks like it took far more effort than it did.

Two apples, one sheet of puff pastry and a bowl of cinnamon sugar. These look like a bakery made them and they take about ten minutes to put together.

Fig season is short and these take three minutes. Six figs, blue cheese, walnuts, rosemary and honey, and the air fryer does the rest.

The pasta cooks in the sauce, so there is no draining and one pan to wash. Twenty minutes, and it comes out looking like it took much longer.

Twenty minutes, eight ingredients, and nothing that can go wrong. The appetizer I make every December and get asked about all year.
