I channeled Hercule Poirot while investigating the origin of our Thanksgiving Cheese Ball, but the answer surprised me.
Hot Brown
The Hot Brown was created to satisfy hungry hotel guests after a night of ballroom dancing. I make it to finish off the Thanksgiving turkey!
Sazerac Cocktail
The Sazerac cocktail was once made with absinthe, but Louisiana passed a law making herb sainte the official ingredient. Were they skeert?
Broccoli Cheese Casserole
Broccoli cheese casserole joins two favorite things, broccoli and liquid gold. Together they form one ooey, gooey delight.
Blackberry Bramble Cocktail
Fresh berries from my Aunts hardscrabble farm is the inspiration for my Blackberry Bramble Cocktail. Infused bourbon is the secret.
Rolled Dumplings
It’s not Thanksgiving without rolled dumplings at our house. It’s a tradition that spans generations because we love our dough balls!
The Hemingway Daiquiri
The Hemingway daiquiri, is nicknamed the Papa Doble because he ordered doubles at the El Floridita in Havana, where two is just right.
