Chez Renee: The Best Pumpkin Pie
http://chezrenees.blogspot.com/2006/11/best-pumpkin-pie.html
Season to taste. Cook 'til done. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. The Best Pumpkin Pie. Pumpkin pie has been a Thanksgiving standard for us since long before the kids were born - 23 years ago. The recipe on the can always seemed fine - pumpkin, eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, and lots of spice. In fact,. Fatty crust, I used to make this as pumpkin pudding when the kids were tots, as a painless way to get an orange vegetable into them. But Michael, our pumpkin pie connoisseur, deems the recipe from. 12-25-06&#...

Chez Renee: December 2007
http://chezrenees.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Season to taste. Cook 'til done. Wednesday, December 05, 2007. Soup, Beautiful Soup(s). Our first storm of the season has arrived- only a couple of inches of slushy snow, but enough to turn lawns white and roads slick. An ideal day to hunker down and fill the house with warming aromas. A Sunday afternoon, for sure. I'm so used to quick sautés, high-heat roasting and other speedy techniques, it's actually fun to have to slow down and make something that isn't supposed to be improvised on the fly. Favorite...

Chez Renee: Revisiting Coq au Vin
http://chezrenees.blogspot.com/2007/02/revisiting-coq-au-vin.html
Season to taste. Cook 'til done. Tuesday, February 13, 2007. Revisiting Coq au Vin. Coq au Vin was a dim memory for Ed and me - one of those recipes that appeared about the same time Julia Child did, in the early 70s. We both recall making it, but neither of us thought it was worth the effort to try it again. I just checked my copy of. The French Chef Cookbook. And the Coq au Vin page is spotless, so I must have used a different recipe. And perhaps that's the source of the old lackadaisical results.

Chez Renee: March 2007
http://chezrenees.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Season to taste. Cook 'til done. Thursday, March 01, 2007. Would you like some crunch with your soup? Winter is the season for slow-cooked soups and stews. But at some point, along about now when winter seems endless, I definitely start craving something with crunch to counter that baby food mouth feel. But,. Something with more taste than romaine lettuce. For a quick, cheesy crisp to serve with soup or salad, use up the ends of a baguette to make Parmesan croutons from the first. Preheat the oven to 400F.

Chez Renee: Poached Pears, with or without chocolate sauce
http://chezrenees.blogspot.com/2007/02/poached-pears-with-or-without-chocolate.html
Season to taste. Cook 'til done. Thursday, February 15, 2007. Poached Pears, with or without chocolate sauce. For a light dessert that's sweet but not cloying, poached pears are a favorite. Ed and I can tell a long, very funny story about a huge dinner party where I served pears that had poached on the stovetop for more than 90 minutes, but still. I discovered the recipe back in the 70s, when I was still learning to cook. remember those days, before there were any cooking shows? Anyway, this was the.
