By James Beard

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Smoked pork loin is a great delicacy. When purchasing it, ask how much cooking it needs. Some types require a full 30 minutes per pound at 300°F., while others, because they are hot-smoked and therefore practically cooked, require mere reheating, or about 12-15 minutes per pound at most.

    Step 2

    Treat a smoked ham exactly like a fresh loin of pork. Baste with white wine or sherry during cooking. Remove from the oven, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with buttered new potatoes and the sauerkraut given in Crown Roast of Pork with Sauerkraut.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Île Flottante
Originally called omelette à la neige (snow omelet) in reference to the fluffy snow-like appearance of the meringue, île flottante (floating island) has a lengthy history that dates back to the 17th century.
Fufu
Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.
Dirty Martini Spritz
Attention, martini drinkers and spritz drinkers: Please for a single line.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Crispy Baked Wings With Berbere Honey Glaze and Fried Garlic
Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it’s paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you’ve ever had.
Palets Bretons
Palets bretons are oversize cookies that feature butter, and because they’re from Brittany, they’re traditionally made with beurre salé, salted butter.
Smashed Pork Tacos
Instead of searing one tortilla at a time, you'll cook eight at once under the broiler.
