Creamy Coleslaw

A delicious side dish from Clyde Cooper’s Barbecue in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Piña Colada Ice Pops

For ice pops without alcohol, use pineapple juice instead of rum.

Margarita Ice Pops

For this clever riff on the "frozen" Margarita, try to use natural lime pops (sold at natural and specialty foods stores) rather than artificially colored and flavored varieties.

Boiled Dressing

This recipe is an accompaniment for Old-Fashioned Potato Salad.

Basic Polenta

This soft polenta is good topped with parmesan and fresh thyme and rosemary.

Spicy Whipped Feta

This is one of the never-absent standard-bearers of the Greek meze table, a classic dish found from one corner of the country to the other, on almost every taverna and meze menu.

Double Lamb Chops with Ginger-Mint Crust

Accompany this dish with sautéed greens. Pour a Merlot alongside.

Jerk-Spiced Beef Tenderloin

Begin marinating the beef at least eight hours before roasting. Serve this with corn bread.

Cranberry Sauce with Pears and Cardamom

Chinese five-spice powder, cardamom and pears give an intriguing flavor.

Creamy Mint-Cilantro "Chutney"

This fresh chutney is an excellent condiment for beef, chicken, and fish.
