Today we have been in the US exactly four weeks. Not quite long enough to get to grips with that typically New World holiday, Thanksgiving, so it was with a great deal of gratitude that we found ourselves invited to friends to be part of their family's celebrations. To make a confession, I had arrived in the US with the intention of getting us invited somewhere for a proper Thanksgiving, whatever it...

Barack Obama first announced his love for sweet potato pie on the campaign trail, and this Thanksgiving we're guessing a slice or two might find its way to his plate. In October of last year, the then-candidate gave a speech in Philadelphia in which he uttered the word "pie" 15 times (13 sweet potato, one coconut cream, one lemon meringue). WATCH the video from Chris Barrett & Powerhouse...

AE's Mac and Cheese Originally uploaded by kleopatrjones Last year, I participated in a series on writers and their recipes over at maudnewton.com. A couple of people went back there looking for my contribution, a southern mac and cheese recipe. Apparently, Maud's site is down, so I am posting the recipe here. That's Drew in the photo-- he tried the recipe gave the thumbs up. 10 oz of elbow macaroni...

Another in my lazy man's posts for Thanksgiving Week. This was an thinly disguised effort to rev up my readership during the Hallothanksmas Season by posting a recipe for a dish much loved by many but not by me. From November 2007: __________ I am not fond of Sweet Potato Soufflé. Georgia Warner was a great friend of my late mother-in-law, Mavis Matthews. I am posting Georgia's recipe -- which...

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite... I lay no claim to loaves and fishes, but eggs for the multitude is another story. While I do eggs of all types, including Benedict and Florentine, once there are more than six people at the breakfast table, my unembarrassed version of the Marquess of Queensberry rules of the kitchen kick in. Those rules allow you to have scrambled eggs anyway you like them. My...

Here's a last minute, super easy Thanksgiving dessert recipe that I felt compelled to share with you all. I made this Double Dark Chocolate Mousse Pie today in honor of the pumpkin-pie haters at my Thanksgiving feast. Yes, sadly the anti-pumpkin folks do exist. I had planned on making a creamy chocolate mousse parfait, but then while perusing Whole Foods , I found an amazing chocolate pie crust from...

The thought of inviting your kids into the kitchen may make you want to curl up on the couch over at the Wine Whore's, not to be seen until the munchkins have mastered something simple: an omelet, maybe, or at least how to wash a dish. It's really not that scary, though. Truth be told, it's often a lot of fun. I laugh more when I am cooking with a child; that must be a good thing. When you invite your...

When my sister moved to Georgia a few years ago, I had the chance to spend Thanksgiving with her. Amongst all the dishes on the table was a Southern staple that I thought about for months after coming home - brown sugar and maple glazed carrots. I wanted to make this dish at my own Thanksgiving dinner this year, but was shocked to find out how much sugar and butter the recipe calls for. I decided...

Pandan Chiffon Cake $4.80 I think the Pandan Chiffon Cake can be one of the litmus tests to see if you are Gen Y or Gen X. If you are a Gen Xer like me, you might remember fondly the days when the cake was extremely popular in the 80's. If you are Gen Y, you might not have even tasted the cake or you might have come across it at some time but paid very little attention to it. The Pandan Chiffon Cake...

Maybe you're groaning at the thought of a healthy Thanksgiving menu. I have my reservations, too: Some of my favorite Thanksgiving items include my Mom's super-rich gravy ladled over a rice dressing that's madewith ground beef, Andouille Sausage and Cornbread Stuffing, and my coworker Sarah Kagan's chocolate-pecan pie (all rather heavy on the fat and calories), and I always enjoy these dishes without...

A soufflé can be one of those dishes we shy away from but it truly isn't that difficult and the finished result is delicious. Don't be intimidated by all the steps, it's really quite easy. This recipe is delicious with fresh cream or a sauce; here we have served it topped with a caramel. INGREDIENTS: 2 vanilla pods 1 1/2 cups milk 2 tsp vanilla essence 7 egg yolks 3/4 cup caster sugar 6 Tbsp...
