Don’t you love imitations that are almost perfect, let alone easy and fun? This fits the bill. Don’t tell Kraft.

One of my visitors, Louise Chowanski mentioned very special, unique sweet and tart coleslaw she finds in a local supermarket deli section. Since Louise is a B&B hostess with the mostess (she knows a great recipe when she sees one), she generously shared with me the basic ingredients and amounts and invited me to fiddle. I did. This is a sweet and tangy coleslaw, chock full of apples, toasted almonds, and a hint of maple syrup and orange. It is perfect with BBQ chicken or ribs or alongside grilled salmon. It is so unique it becomes an instant classic. You can use lite sour cream and mayonnaise.

A lovely, updated, apple laden kugel that is perfect for Passover. It is a perfect, lightly sweet, side dish.

Add a touch of fresh, tangy cranberry sauce to this appetizer classic. It just takes minutes to create a buttery bundle, filled with oozing, warm Camembert or Brie cheese, with a scarlet dash of cranberries. You could substitute Major Grey Chutney if you like or leave this classic: brie, filo, butter. Provide pear wedges or crusts of bread for dipping.

This is easy to make but easier to buy. One small bottle should last a long time! It is used in Xmas Black Cake and an authentic Dark Rye or Pumpernickle Bread.

Sticky chicky or chicken or whatever you want to call it, this luscious chicken recipe has as many variations as there are chickens. Given my druthers, I would make this with bone-out but skin-on, chicken breasts. It is as good with chicken parts (drumsticks lovers take heart) and that is how we tested our quintessential ‘sticky chicky’ in the BB Test Kitchen. If you can, marinate this overnight. But if not – it is still stupendous: sticky, sweet, garlicky, tangy……great. Serve with a green salad a fluffy, coriander and cilantro infused basmati rice.

If anything can tenderize stewing beef, it's beer.  If anything can upgrade it, it's red wine. I make this stew both ways and it is stunningly good. This is a sumptuous stew that is braised to perfection in a slow oven. Serve it up in Edible Bread Bowls (small breads, hollowed out, baked become edible . This is a nifty recipe because there is no frying to brown the meat first. It is slow roasted  and there is one other trick that makes it the best stew ever.

There are many ways to make onion rings. This recipe offers the lightest, crispest rings imaginable. Panko are Japanese breadcrumbs our original webmaster, Yvan Huneault was besotten with. If you use them, you’ll see why. Panko makes a great coating on chicken filets, fish, and particularly, onion rings. They are available in Asian food stores.  If you don't have panko, use regular bread crumbs or grated up soda crackers.

I have a few tricks to make my turkey gravy. This is ambrosial slathered over biscuits, turkey or mashed potatoes. It is one of those blue ribbon recipes that a pro will appreciate and a Thanksgiving newbie will win kudos for. Grandma approved…almost.
