Hungarian sour cherry strudel Although I've spent the majority of my life in the US, I was actually born in Budapest.

My mother was a great cook, and I grew up eating all sorts of Hungarian dishes. Strudels filled with apples, cherries, or sweetened farmer's cheese were a popular dessert at our table. With the wide availability of frozen phyllo dough, strudels are easier to make than pie, can be assembled ahead of time, and held in the freezer until you are ready to bake. Ingredients:1 package frozen phyllo dough, defrosted 1 stick butter, melted 1 cup walnuts, ground ½ cup sugar, or to taste1 cup plain, dry bread crumbs 3 cups sour cherries, pitted and stemmed (use frozen if out of season) Equipment: 2 dampened tea towels, excess water squeezed out Pastry brushSharp knife Directions:Preheat oven to 400F.

Lay the other tea towel in front of you. Brush the rolled up struel logs with melted butter. Thanksgiving recipe swap. Sweet potato latkes with celeriac root and apple This year is an unusual convergence of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving. Though I could never substitute my mother's 100-year-old sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, a standard at our Thanksgiving feast, I would like to add some Hanukkah side-dishes. I plan to make these sweet potato, celeriac and apple latkes for my family over the holidays, and they would be just as welcome on a Thanksgiving table. (Of course, this version will never replace the classic potato and onion latkes, beloved by family and my readers, but sweet potato, celeriac root, and apples lend a Thanksgiving twist to this Hanukkah staple.)

Ingredients: 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled ¼ celeriac root (about 3 oz) 1 apple, such as Granny Smith, cored and unpeeled 1 medium onion 1 large egg, lightly beaten 3-4 tbsp flour ½ tsp thyme or marjoram, minced Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Vegetable oil for frying Heat a griddle or non-stick pan and coat with ⅛ inch of oil. Stuffing Muffins V Recipe. Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good Recipe | Epicurious. Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment, or find a Dutch oven with a diameter that's just a tiny bit larger than your pumpkin. If you bake the pumpkin in a casserole, it will keep its shape, but it might stick to the casserole, so you'll have to serve it from the pot—which is an appealingly homey way to serve it.

If you bake it on a baking sheet, you can present it freestanding, but maneuvering a heavy stuffed pumpkin with a softened shell isn't so easy. However, since I love the way the unencumbered pumpkin looks in the center of the table, I've always taken my chances with the baked-on-a-sheet method, and so far, I've been lucky. Using a very sturdy knife—and caution—cut a cap out of the top of the pumpkin (think Halloween Jack-o-Lantern). It's easiest to work your knife around the top of the pumpkin at a 45-degree angle. Toss the bread, cheese, garlic, bacon, and herbs together in a bowl. Whole pumpkin-stuffed custard a hit with family - Spokesman Mobile - Nov. 20, 2013. November 20, 2013 - Updated: 7:16 a.m. “For pottage and puddings and custard and pies, Our pumpkins and parsnip are common supplies: We have pumpkins at morning and pumpkins at noon, If it were not for pumpkins, we should be undoon” – Pilgrim rhyme from the 1630s Vandetta Williams usually serves three desserts at Thanksgiving: chocolate pie with graham cracker crust, coconut cream pie or cheesecake – “It’s one or the other” – and a thick, slightly sweet custard baked inside a whole pumpkin.

The baked whole pumpkin, grown in her Spokane garden, gets the place of honor. It’s a family favorite, first made as a conversation starter for the grandkids some 20 years ago. They liked the fact that dessert was in an actual pumpkin. She still does. “There’s nothing to it, really,” she said. Williams, a retired waitress, found the recipe in a newspaper in the early 1990s. Williams’ recipe also uses ginger. I added 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice when I tried the recipe. From Vandetta Williams. Food Network. Roasted Beets with Orange and Creme Fraiche.

I didn't grow up eating green bean casserole, and while it's an interesting dish, there are much better ways to cook green beans — like Sichuan dry-fried green beans. This dish reminds me of when I was living in Beijing in my mid-20s and spending Thanksgiving with other American expats.

The method for cooking the dish (dry-frying) renders it super crispy, which I find so much better than mushy green beans that you bake in a casserole dish. Ingredients: ¾ pound green beans¼ cup peanut or vegetable oil5 or 6 dried red chillies¼ tsp ground Sichuan pepper1 tbsp minced garlic1 tsp minced or grated fresh ginger3 scallions, white parts only, thinly sliced4 oz fresh shiitake or cremini mushrooms, finely chopped For the sauce:1½ tsp Chinese rice wine or dry sherry1½ tsp chilli bean sauce½ tsp sesame oil1 tsp sugar½ tsp salt, plus more to taste.

In the Raw. Enlarge Credit: Ingalls Photography For me, the whole thing began with radishes. When I was seven, thanks to the spiral-bound 1965 edition of the Betty Crocker Boys and Girls Cookbook—my mother's childhood copy—I was introduced to the extraordinary notion that radishes could become roses. I learned to carve thin petals into them and drop them into ice water, where they would blossom. I'd savor them with a little sprinkle of salt. There's nothing new about eating raw vegetables, but in the States it wasn't until the first half of the 20th century that an austere serving of celery sticks was recast as an opulent appetizer.

Crudités' popularity has waxed and waned over the years.

Thai steamed pumpkin custard Most of the people in my family live in Bangkok, where I was born and raised. With the majority of my American friends celebrating Thanksgiving with their respective families, I usually end up getting together with those who also come from other countries and who have no extended families nearby. Therefore, Thanksgiving feasts have always been about people from various parts of the globe sharing international, home-style dishes.

In keeping with this theme, I serve an easy, deconstructed version of Thai steamed pumpkin custard, either instead of or in addition to traditional pumpkin pie. For a party, you want a dish that is unfussy, works consistently, and is just as satisfying as something achieved through more laborious and precarious means. Directions: Preheat the oven to 350F. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, vanilla, sugars, and salt, just until smooth. Flaming Punch Recipe. Cocktails for Fall.
