A list of all the recipes Jill Mulcahy has tested.
English Crumpets
Crumpets with butter. How very English. And how very enticing according to everyone who’s tried this authentic homemade version.
Roast Chicken with Moroccan Spices
This is definitely NOT the roast chicken of our childhood. And with all due respect, we couldn’t be happier about that.
Farfalle with Fresh Salmon
So what if salmon isn’t from Italy? Cookbook author Giuliano Hazan is and he says to toss chunks of the rich fish with pasta, tomatoes, and cream. We’ll happily oblige.
Fried Brussels Sprouts with Walnuts and Capers
There’s one foolproof way that we can think of to get avowed Brussels sprouts loathers to eat them. Hint: Frying makes EVERYTHING better.
Tomato Pie
Dead-ripe tomatoes, herbs, Cheddar cheese, and mayo in a flaky pastry crust. Sorta like a tomato sandwich but in a savory warm pie incarnation. You’re welcome.
Chicken and Dumplings
An American classic. This chicken and dumplings recipe is made with chicken, creamy gravy, and buttery, feather-light dumplings.
Black and White Chicken Chili
This chicken chili is called black and white because of the of black beans and cannellini beans. The chicken makes the chili lighter but it’s still hearty.
Roquefort and Walnut Shortbreads
These Roquefort walnut shortbreads are an elegant appetizer. The shortbreads can also serve as cocktail nibbles. Use a quality Roquefort for best results.
