Balsamic Gingered Braised Lamb Shanks
This is comfort food that screams of a blustery cold day. Slow food that needs plenty of simmering time... until the meat falls off the bone. Clouds of buttery mashed potatoes or a steaming bowl of polenta would make a perfect compliment to this dish.
Spring Asparagus Chicken
Get ready for the bikini on the beach with this low fat flavourful spring dish. While it is in season, I don't believe you can have too much asparagus.
Coq au Vin Blanc
Coq au vin is traditionally made with red wine but this version with white is especially delicious because of the unique addition of Dijon, which adds a bit of a kick.
Lemon Herb Marinated Chicken Breasts
This marinade is great to have on hand for chicken or fish all summer long.
Seared Duck Breast with Cassis
This is a dinner party dish that is special without being difficult. The key here is to make sure you cook the duck long enough on the skin side down to get the skin crispy.
Veal Augustina
I developed this recipe for a friend who was in the pink veal business where the animals are raised naturally in the outdoors. Delicious and quick, a brilliant party dish. Serve with potatoes.
Beaujolais Braised Chicken Thighs with Porcini Mushrooms
This dish is superb with either a Parmigiano-Reggiano Polenta or Risotto!
Lorraine Chicken
This is the kind of chicken you will find on the menu at Brasseries in France. Homey, comforting, but not too rich. Serve with a frisee lettuce or Belgian endive salad and Sauvignon Blanc wine.
Roasted Breast of Chicken with Garlic & Candied Lemon
This dish is easy but elegant enough for a dinner party and goes fabulously with roasted rosemary potatoes or orzo.
