A tastier variation of the traditional Polish version

This recipe is over 100 years old. I add a twist to the recipe (and a little sweetness) by adding some golden raisins, like my favorite restaurant in Provincetown, Mass., does.

Very thin pork cutlets with a rich and creamy sour cream and mushroom sauce. I serve this with sweet and sour red cabbage and parsleyed red potatoes. Guten appetit! Mahlzeit!

This rib-sticking dish was given to me by a Southern relation.

This recipe is my glorified version of a Polish "kapusta," made hearty with the addition of country-style pork ribs, mushroooms and bacon. Traditionally, it is served with "kluski (potato dumplings)" or egg noodles and rye bread.

My mother's famous hash brown potato casserole. Easy to make one dish casserole that creamy and delicious comfort food.

So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo. The meal I speak of is Cottage Pie. There is much debate as to what exactly a cottage pie is and how it is different to a Shepherd’s pie...I don’t know. The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:

Chocked full of fresh mushrooms, dill and parsley, this soup has extremely well-balanced flavors and is very satisfying.

Chicken and dumpling casserole made with leftover cooked chicken, peas, and basil-flecked biscuit dumplings baked right on top. A weeknight rescue for the rotisserie bird in your fridge.
