  Fish and Chips at Home

  The problem with English-style fish and chips is that you’ve got to hop a plane across the Atlantic to enjoy the most authentic version. We wanted to be able to serve English-style fish and chips—large pieces of moist and delicate cod in a crisp and tender coating with thick-cut fries—at home.

  Lighter Family Favorites

  Whether we admit it or not, there are some dishes that ,while tasty, are just too high in fat and calories to be enjoyed on a regular basis. Even a modest portion of macaroni and cheese or chicken Parmesan is prohibitive. But that doesn’t need to be the case.

• 

  Faster Family Favorites

  With these quick recipes, you’ll be able to get dinner on the table in a reasonable amount of time. We make a fresh-tasting, quick tamale pie with a juicy, spicy mixture of meat and vegetables and a quick homemade-cornbread topping. We also show you how to cook up a really flavorful chicken stew topped with a biscuit crust.

  Two Ways with Pork

  Boneless pork chops are lean and quick-cooking, making them ideal for weeknight meals. Pork tenderloin, which is also lean, has a somewhat fussy reputation, perhaps due to the fact that this cut is often more familiar at a restaurant table than the home kitchen. But that doesn’t mean you need to be a professional chef to cook tenderloin properly.

  Sunday Roast Chicken and Stuffing

  We wanted a streamlined version of roast chicken with plenty of stuffing to go around. First we needed to solve the problem of cooking the stuffing to a safe temperature without drying out the delicate breast meat of the chicken.

  Best Beef Stew

  Beef, beer, and onions have a natural affinity—it’s one reason burgers and onion rings are on the menu at nearly every sports bar. In a carbonnade, the heartiness of beef melds with the soft sweetness of sliced onions in a lightly thickened broth that is rich, deep, and satisfying. We aimed to create the very best version of this cold-weather favorite.
