Roast Beef Tenderloin

The secret to tender roast beef tenderloin is roasting it in a slow oven, which allows for a gentle roasting, and produces an even, rosy hue throughout the muscle. Another tip is roasting the beef on top of the pan sauce, which not only flavors the meat, but also humidifies the oven for a moist, aromatic cooking environment.

Beef and Guinness Stew

This Guinness beef stew is a very simple dish, but at the same time, it has a deep, complex, rich flavor. The maltiness of dark beer really does amazing things for the gravy. I served this in a nice ring of green onion-mashed potatoes. I hope you give this a try, whether for Saint Patrick's Day or any time of the year.

Bran Muffins with Applesauce

These bran muffins made with flax and applesauce are my favorite breakfast muffins. This recipe was handed down from my mom. Add some raisins for a touch of sweetness.

Crushed Pineapple Fruitcake

This is a very good cake for Christmas. Do not double this recipe. You don't need to age this cake.

Restaurant-Style Shoyu Miso Ramen

Inspired by the shoyu ramen at my favorite ramen restaurant, this is my ideal ramen. If you want to make it pescatarian, I suggest foregoing the pork belly for bonito flakes -- just a big pinch in each bowl.
