Ragu Alla Bolognese

If you can plan ahead, by all means brine or salt your bird. But when you want dinner on the table in an hour, you need a different way to get juicy, tender chicken.

The classic approach will never give you tender scambled eggs with big, pillowy curds. But acheiving that goal takes more than just turning up the heat.

Simmering a leftover ham shank used to be a frugal way to stretch a meal. But what if you have to make do without the backbone of this soup?

We were intent on bringing back this homey dessert with a version that would feature a careful balance of chocolate flavor and creamy texture.
