Thanksgiving Menu for Two
Thanksgiving with all the fixings is an effort, but you can rein in that effort by spreading it over two or three days and working on it together. This menu is geared for two with a day or two's leftovers (and will serve four if your neighbors have been dropping you hints).

Beef Wellington
This recipe for individual Beef Wellingtons looks like a million dollars and tastes like heaven. It's also surprisingly easy to make, albeit time-consuming, but can easily be completely prepped a day in advance. Serves 2.

Muffaletta
The key ingredient to a muffaletta sandwich recipe is the muffaletta Olive Mix (you'll find a link to that recipe here). Ideally you want to make the sandwich an hour or two before eating it so the juices from the olive mix can soak into the bread, which makes this a perfect picnic sandwich.

Apple-brined Turkey for Two

Braised Lamb Shanks
Slowly braised lamb shanks are almost impossible to beat on a cold wintry day. Savory and richly-flavored, this recipe will almost make you glad the weather is bad. And although there's some prep up front, most of the cooking process is trying to ignore the marvelous odors that permeate your home. Serves 2.

Shrimp Fra Diavolo
Shrimp Fra Diavolo is a classic, slightly spicy Italian dish (but feel free to kick up the spice if you wish). It's perfect for a weeknight dinner but fancy enough for company. Serves 2.

Fried Chickpeas - Ceci Fritos
These wonderful fried chickpeas aren’t so much fried as sautéed and are one of my favorite snacks. They take 10 minutes to make and about 30 minutes to eat with a glass or two of wine or a cocktail, which seems fair.

Thanksgiving Recipes for Two
My 2008 Thanksgiving Menu for Two was a fairly traditional turkey dinner for two. But I almost never fix turkey for Thanksgiving, it's just too much food - even scaled down as I did it. As far as I'm concerned the holiday is typified more by the feast itself than the specific components. This year I'm going for an alternative menu, but a menu that still gives a nod to tradition.

Review: Le Creuset Dutch Oven
I consider a Dutch oven an essential piece of cooking equipment. There is no pot better suited to making stews and braises - from pot roast to chicken curry - and it's also useful for making stocks, soups and even bread.

Baked Pasta with Chicken
One of my favorite meals is baked pasta. It's a great way to clean out the leftovers hanging around in your fridge - just cook up some pasta (ideally something like penne, macaroni or rotini) then cut up and toss in that leftover chicken leg, leftover cauliflower, and two-day old spinach. Serves 2.

Roasted Rutabaga
Roasting rutabaga concentrates and highlights it's natural sweetness. In this recipe I season the rutabaga with a dried Italian Herb mixture, which also highlights the sweetness. Serves 2.

Turkey Gravy for Two
Many cooks are terrified of gravy, and yet it can as easy as - easier than - tomato sauce. Here are three options ranging from some trouble to "call me when it's done."

Muffaletta Bread
Muffaletta bread is essentially an Italian bread shaped it into a round flat loaf, it comes out of the oven about 8 inches in diameter and about 1 1/2 inches high. It turns out these dimensions are the perfect amount of bread for a mufalletta.

An old southern favorite, this recipe for pork cutlets leaves out the traditional white gravy and it's load of calories, opting instead for a fresh and bright squirt of lemon juice. Serves 2.

Baking for Two
Baking for two can be difficult. Most recipes are geared toward six to eight servings, but there are options. Excellent options in fact, some of which are dead simple, while others require more planning and effort.

Cooking-in-Parchment
Cooking in parchment is an old technique; and doesn't actually involve genuine parchment (lambskin). It's typically done in parchment paper and can even be done in aluminum foil or even a brown paper bag. But parchment paper makes a beautiful presentation and isn't that hard. The food is essentialy steamed in an envelope, locking in flavors and juices.

Chicken Saltimbocca
Saltimbocca is an Italian word meaning "jump in the mouth" and is the name of a Roman dish classically made with veal, prosciutto, and sage. It's also sometimes made with chicken or pork and cheese is a frequent addition. I've had it a few times made with either chicken or veal and although it was good, I can't say it jumped in my mouth. So I set out to create my own version.

Chicken Piccata
Chicken Piccata is a variation on veal picata, but it's just as good when made with chicken breasts, something I almost always have in the freezer. Serves 2.

Ham and Cheese Crostini
This recipe for Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Crostini are an invention of mine based on a spread sold in Europe. I recreated this delicacy after my second trip to the old world. Spread on lightly toasted slices of baguette, or even on crackers, it's a great little munchie. Makes 12 crostini.

Country Ham and Bean Soup
What makes this soup so good is the beans soaking up the homemade stock as they cook - of course the country ham helps.

This recipe for rack of lamb with horseradish is a beuatifully elegant meal for two. A single rack of lamb usually has six ribs (three each) guarding that most tender of any cut of meat, the tenderloin.

Pork Dry Rub
This pork dry rub recipe isn't particularly hot and, unlike many rubs, it doesn't contain any sugar because I also use it for grilled pork and the sugar will burn while grilling. Try this on smoked pork butt, pork ribs (smoked or grilled), and grilled chops.

I fell in love with Fettuccini Carbonara when I was in college and waiting tables at a restaurant. I got the recipe from the chef and it became a regular in my repetoire. This recipe is much truer to the traditional dish.

Small Bites
One of my favorite party types is the tapas or meze party. These consist of lots of small bites and needn't be limited to traditional Spanish tapas or Greek mezes. But even for dinner parties and pot-lucks a selection of small bites is always welcome.

Beef Carbonade
Beef Carbonade is a strange name for this delicious recipe. First, carbonnade is a Spanish word but the dish comes from Belgium. Second, the words means "grilled" or "cooked over coals," but in fact the dish is actually braised with Belgium's signature beverage, beer.

Even the zucchini eventually gives out and summer is over, at which time we turn to the hard winter squashes like butternut, acorn, kimbawe and pumpkin (yes, pumpkin is a squash) to fill our nutritional needs and desire for flavor.

The Classic Reuben
If I was forced to live the rest of my life on a single food, I would choose sandwiches - not least because sandwiches can involve pork or turkey; lettuce or slaw; mustard, ketchup, chili sauce, and mayo. Sandwiches are the ultimate cheat.

Grade B Maple Syrup
I discovered grade B maple syrup when I lived in New Hampshire and bought some at a road-side stand. That night I had pancakes for supper and tried it out. Wow! As my brother described when I introduced him to it, "It's like eating the tree!"

Ingredient: Gastrique
Gastriques are a sort of classic French sweet and sour sauce. The primary flavor (and some of the sweetness) typically comes from fruit (peaches, berries, mangoes and so on) and the sour from vinegar.

Seafood Crepes
I came up with this recipe for seafood about 15 years ago and was really pleased with it. I like it best with bay scallops, which are not only smaller than sea scallops but they're also sweeter.

Juniper Berries
Juniper berries have a wonderfully piney taste - most like rosemary if you looking for a comparison - but more resinous and with citrus overtones.

Broccoli rabe should be part of your recipe collection. I discovered this italian vegetable (also known as broccoli rape, broccoli raab and rapini) a few years ago and fell in love with it's somewhat bitter flavor with notes of both broccoli and cauliflower.

Dutch Apple Pie
My favorite apple pie is the Dutch variety, which features a streusel topping instead of pastry. The main reason I like it is the topping's flavor. Makes 6 servings.

Making a Savory Souffle
Making a savory souffle intimidates many cooks, there seems to be something arcane or magical about creating them, but in fact souffles aren't difficult to make. This photo tutorial will take you through it step by step.

Mushroom Minute Steaks
I've been making this recipe for Mushroom Minute Steaks for at least 35 years. It only takes about 25 minutes from prep to eating - which is just enough time to zap some frozen peas or corn or to toss a salad. Serves 2.

Gougeres
Gougeres are bite-size savory puff pastries generally made with cheese. Best of all, these can be frozen and reheated. The prosciutto is my own addition - and I really like it (think of ham and biscuits with a French accent).

Broiled Trout with Lemon Cream
Broiled trout is a great dinner option. Quick and easy, it's perfect for a weeknight meal and because trout is usually farm-raised it doesn't cause harm to declining wild fish stocks. Serves 2.

Christmas Menu for Two
I've spent many Christmases alone or with just a friend or two, and as with all other holidays I absolutely dispute the idea that just because there are only one or two is no reason not create a feast. A smaller feast? Yes, but that makes it even harder to justify going out to eat instead of cooking. My friend, Q, absolutely relishes the excuse to cook an over-the-top menu for him and his sweetheart.

Cameron Stove-top Smoker
Cameron's Stove-top Smoker isn't a replacement for a genuine outdoor smoker or grill. However, when the weather's bad or if you don't have access to grill or smoker it can provide genuine wood smoke flavor indoors.

Soy Vinagrette Dressing
My father invented this salad dressing, which is actually based on Dale's Steak Sauce. It has a tremendously hearty flavor but the consistency is light enough to dress baby greens.

Apple Crisp
Apple crisps (and fruit crisps in general) are among my favorite desserts. Crisps are quick to prepare, can be made with apples, blueberries, peaches, or almost any other fruit that's handy, including frozen fruit. The topping recipe below makes more than you need, but I like to keep a bag of the topping in the freezer, which makes creating this dessert even easier. Just prepare your fruit, pull out the bag of topping and sprinkle what you need on top, and put the rest back in the freezer.

Right-Sizing Your Bake Ware
Whether you're cooking for two or six, a standard cookware set such as the Cuisinart MCP works. But when it comes to bake ware, smaller pieces are worth the investment. For example, trying to make a soufflé for two in a 4 quart soufflé dish is asking for disaster.
