Nancy Dalrymple of New Orleans, Louisiana, writes: "Last year, my husband and I celebrated our anniversary with a long weekend at Annadele's Plantation, a charming bed-and-breakfast in nearby Covington. Although the rooms were lovely, what made Annadele's so special was the great food. During our stay we learned that the restaurant is open to the public, so we've been back several times for our favorite dish, the pompano fillet with crabmeat and beurre blanc."

Pompano — a delicately flavored white fish — is a popular entrée in and around New Orleans. In Annadele's signature version, the fish is topped with sweet crabmeat and a creamy white wine-lemon sauce.

Turn humble onions into this thrifty yet luxe pasta dinner.
This pasta has some really big energy about it. It’s so extra, it’s the type of thing you should be eating in your bikini while drinking a magnum of rosé, not in Hebden Bridge (or wherever you live), but on a beach on Mykonos.
Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
This classic 15-minute sauce is your secret weapon for homemade mac and cheese, chowder, lasagna, and more.
A dash of cocoa powder adds depth and richness to the broth of this easy turkey chili.
This is the type of soup that, at first glance, might seem a little…unexciting. But you’re underestimating the power of mushrooms, which do the heavy lifting.
I should address the awkward truth that I don’t use butter here but cream instead. You could, if you’re a stickler for tradition (and not a heretic like me), add a big slab of butter to the finished curry.
