My grandmother Helga taught me how to cook — traditional Swedish meatballs before anything else. The meatballs I got for school lunch were always perfectly shaped and just the right size, but never tasted as good as her lumpy, misshapen ones.

With layers of chicken, tarragon, mushrooms, and leek topped by crisp puff pastry, it’s hard not to return for a second helping of chicken pie. You can have it on the table in under an hour, far less if you have leftover roasted chicken on hand. Use wild mushrooms if you have them. Morels will transform this pie into a dinner party-worthy main course or starter.

I'm a big proponent of frozen puff pastry. It's not that I don't like the greasy film of flour that develops over my entire kitchen as I fold buttery layer over buttery layer twelve times (allowing ample time for it to rest, of course). No wait, it's that. Besides, the filling is where you want to focus your TLC.

We love the combination of sausage, peppers and onions on everything, especially the legendary sandwich that has gotten us through so very many football games. Sadly, the combination — while epic — doesn't always translate into the classiest dinner fare (ahem, Jersey Shore).

Soubise (sue-BEEZ) is a classic French white sauce that deserves a place in the contemporary American kitchen. Simple to make with common ingredients, soubise is defined by the onion, this one including both onion and shallot, blended into a béchamel sauce.

Normally we cringe at the idea of a casserole, but any kind of macaroni and cheese is right up our alley. Better Homes and Gardens, famous for...well, better homes and gardens than yours, has a casserole book (aptly named The Ultimate Casseroles Book).
