Fennel Gratin with Gruyere and Lemon
You braise the fennel wedges in chicken stock and melted butter (it would entirely appropriate to replace some of the stock with wine, should you have a bottle open), and once they easily yield to the tip of a paring knife, you top them with a topping made from breadcrumbs, grated cheese, and lemon. Baked up in the useful and beautiful umber stoneware dish from Anolon, the finished dish is outrageously fragrant, lovely enough to share with company, and quite delicious.

Onion Frittata with Goat Cheese and Arugula
The onions aren’t quite caramelized but are cooked long enough to be soft. The filling is simple but the soft onions paired with the tang of the goat cheese makes for a solid meal. Add to that the fresh greens and a light vinaigrette (another nod to Julia), it’s the perfect way to start your day.

Bacon Carbonara Pasta with Brussels Sprouts

Once you prep the ingredients, the recipe comes together fast for an easy weeknight meal that is elegant enough to serve to guests at a dinner party.

Spicy Mustard Green, Shrimp and Andouille Jambalaya
Robustly flavorful Jambalaya is perfect when cooking for a crowd—or making a Sunday supper with an eye on leftovers. Andouille sausage and mustard greens give this version a real kick—you can tone it down by using a milder kielbasa sausage and mellow collard in place of the mustard greens.

Cardamom Pear Tarte Tatin
Just a hint of cardamom gives this beautiful pear tart a little depth and mystery. You will need a large platter that is slightly larger than the top of the pan on which you’ll invert the tart.
