'Tis the season to take photographs of all that beautiful food you're cooking up! Cookies, pies, legs of lamb, that Christmas goose, Grandma's cranberry chutney. You don't have to be a food writer, food stylist, a blogger, or even an Annie Leibovitz to take fabulous photos.
Shepherd's pie is a comforting meat pie made with layers of lamb (typically leftover from a previous meal), carrots, peas, and topped with a "crust" of fluffy mashed potatoes.
These Persian cucumbers were so delicious we skipped adding anything and ate them as is. In fact, a good portion of them disappeared before the main dish was served. These are not technically "seedless" but the seeds are small and soft and entirely edible.
Chicken fricassee is a classic chicken stew, typically so thick that it's almost a sauté. This one-pot dish is delectably rich and comforting! In this version, the chicken is cooked smothered in red cabbage.
