Tuesday, November 26, 2013. Greek Beef Stew with Quinces. Writing in The Wall Street Journal. Chef and author and teacher Gail Monaghan. Quince call for low, slow cooking.

I found it in The New York Times International Cookbook. Edited by Craig Claiborne. You MUST make this! 8 shallots, finely chopped. 1 cup Beef Stock.

Thursday, June 26, 2014. Mac and Cheese with Bacon and Broccoli. Out of this world!
