"My husband and I made several of these green grape pies together for a community-garden fundraiser. We barely knew each other at the time, but ended up being so interested in each other that we forgot to strain out the hard grape seeds from the pie filling. But the folks at the fundraiser were good sports—they ate the slices as if they were watermelon, spitting out the seeds after each bite."—Amy Crowell

Traditionally, this stuffed filo dish is made with walnuts, but Texas pecans are a good substitute.

"I love serving this luscious soup in early spring when cilantro flourishes in the garden. Its vivid emerald color offers tribute to the season, especially when garnished with purple pansy flowers or cilantro’s lacy white blossoms. The flavor is fresh and bright, yet not overpowering. It will certainly delight even those who say they don’t like the flavor of cilantro."—Lucinda Hutson

"This has to be one of my all-time favorite desserts for a holiday or anytime. It’s light and buttery, sweet and slightly boozy. You can add just about any type of fruit or nut. Be sure to use a good dark rum, though, to soak the raisins—you’ll taste the difference. I’ve had many variations of stollen, but this recipe is simple and just about perfect. I learned from my former Austrian pastry chef mentor that the key is to dunk the freshly baked bread twice in melted butter, twice in powdered sugar and then to let it sit for at least three days before eating. And if you really want to go over the top, sauté a slice of stollen in melted butter and top with marmalade (or mincemeat!). That’s how I like to eat it!"
