No need to wait all year for your favorite cookies to come around. These sandwich cookies beat anything from a box. Sorry, Girl Scouts.
Anna Scott, Recipe Tester
A list of all the recipes Anna Scott has tested.
Anna Scott has been an LC recipe tester since December 2010. Her love of food was inspired by her father, who taught her that a meal isn’t just the act of eating, but rather an experience that involves all of the senses—the presentation on the plate, the warm smell of the kitchen, the lively conversations at the dinner table, and the texture of the bread that you break. A Le Cordon Bleu graduate, she now works as a personal chef in Atlanta and is writing her first cookbook, which will focus on seasonal meals and incorporating mise en place into your everyday cooking repertoire.
Champagne Cocktail
The quintessential something to sip at an elegant soirée, a large party, or just because it’s a random Tuesday night.
Black-Eyed Peas with Spinach
After trying this Southern good-luck charm of black-eyed peas, we say forget the luck. Just pass more of these peas, please.
Arugula Salad with Pear and Blue Cheese
Peppery greens, creamy blue cheese, and crisp pear are jumbled together with a sweetly nutty vinaigrette that’s so delicious you may just catch folks licking the plate.
Dried Fruit and Nut Cake
Chock-full of crunchy nuts and moist dried fruit, this cake is a taste sensation. May we suggest a choice of apricots, plums, pears, or peaches?
Roasted Bone Marrow
Though traditionally a first course, bone marrow is sufficient enough to be both first course and last course. And maybe each course in between.
Easy Eggnog
Ever since trying this eggnog, we can’t make it through the holiday season without it. All the richness. None of the cloying sweetness or regret-it-the-next-day heaviness.
Fennel and Potato Soup
A spectacular riff on the classic French potato and leek soup known as Vichyssoise, this is astoundingly good. So much so you may just find yourself raising the bowl to your lips.
Basic Crêpes
A simple, step-by-step recipe for the classic French crepe that can easily be mastered by anyone. Yes, anyone. Including you.
Pomegranate Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese
This beet and goat cheese side dish brings bright flavors and colors to your table, easily. Creamy, tangy, sweet, and earthy, it’s all here.
