Baileys pie a decadent treat for St. Paddy's Day

For celebrating St. Patrick's Day there are plenty of traditional favorites to consider. You could start with Irish smoked salmon offered with slices of buttered Irish soda bread, and for the entree, follow with a steaming pot of corned beef and cabbage accompanied by boiled potatoes. - 03/12/2010

Easy last-minute lasagna is a lifesaver

I have a love/hate thing going with lasagna: I love to eat it, but I hate to make it. Especially now that I've been off my feet for a while, I get pretty tired just standing. But I got a taste for lasagna the other night and luckily I re-discovered this recipe that I had filed away. - 03/11/2010

Lighten up your whole wheat muffins

The problems with most real whole wheat muffins are multiple: They're heavy, dense and even slightly bitter, unless they contain a ton of sugar. Which explains why many "whole wheat" recipes call for wheat and white flour. - 03/11/2010

Lynne Rossetto Kasper: The Splendid Table

Chocolate pudding cake gets added jolt of espresso

Dear Lynne: The chocolate cake we had on our honeymoon was wonderful, but we couldn't get the recipe. So we're hoping maybe you have something close to it. Bittersweet with coffee flavoring, the cake was dense and rich. Thank you for any recipe you could share. - 03/11/2010

Curtrise Garner: Cooking for one

Squash is a nice addition to risotto

The first time I ate risotto, I really liked it and I thought it was a pasta. If you've ever tasted the dish, then you know the texture is that of a tiny noodle. After finding out that tasty dish was called risotto, I went looking for it in the pasta aisle at the grocery store. - 03/11/2010

Fine-tuning a rare fish steak

I finally learned my lesson in dining out: Unless I order tuna as an appetizer, it's never prepared to my liking. Time after time, a tuna steak would come out of the kitchen overcooked and dry, looking as unappealing as it tastes. - 03/04/2010

Taste Panel: Hoisin Sauce

Taste Panel: Hoisin sauce has world of uses

Lynne Rossetto Kasper: The Splendid Table

Doctored-up canned broth tastes like homemade

Pea soup

Dear Lynne: Is there a shortcut to chicken soup, good chicken soup? Do you ever use canned chicken broth? If so, which brand you like? Is this sacrilege? - 03/04/2010
