I tackled this recipe only six months into my project, naively unaware of how much veal shanks would cost. I might have been cursing Ina under my breath as I walked out of the butcher’s with just two tiny veal shanks—all I could afford instead of the eight large shanks the recipe called for. But one taste, and I was sold.
I couldn’t compile a favorite recipe list without including at least one roast chicken recipe (I don’t want to upset Jeffrey), and Jeffrey’s Roast Chicken, also known as Engagement Chicken, may be Ina’s most famous version—it did play a role in bringing Prince Harry and Meghan together after all.
Revisiting Smitten Kitchen’s original cookbook led to creating a mouthwatering Seared Halibut with Gazpacho Salsa and Tomato Vinaigrette. This vibrant dish combines flaky, golden fish with a refreshing salsa inspired by gazpacho flavors. The simple yet dreamy vinaigrette perfectly complements the contrasting textures and temperatures of the meal.
During the VERY brief moment that wild Maine blueberries were available last month, I seized the opportunity to attempt as many recipes as possible! I can never resist a savory blueberry recipe so I needed to try Melissa Chaiken’s Seared Pork Chops with Wild Blueberry Mostarda from Downeast Magazine!

I love kofta, especially lamb! And these Lamb Koftas with Yoghurt Dressing are a favorite, seasoned with spices like cumin and coriander. The yogurt dressing with cumin, lemon, and garlic is the perfect touch. Enjoy them in pita or on their own for a heavenly Middle Eastern treat.
Toni Tipton Martin’s Jamaican Jerk Ribs with Pineapple-Mango Salsa, inspired by Kelis, offers a perfect blend of spicy and sweet flavors. The ribs feature a jerk dry rub and Scotch bonnet-infused sauce, complemented by a refreshing pineapple-mango salsa. A mouthwatering dish for any occasion.
On “Be My Guest,” Ina Garten hosted Danny Meyer, who cooked Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage. However, the Food Network’s recipe had several discrepancies, such as different ingredient amounts and instruction orders, leading to confusion.
