Baked Maryland Lump Crab Cakes
These baked crab cakes are authentic Maryland-style crab cakes. Many people claim to make a true Maryland crab cake, but I have lived by the Chesapeake Bay on Kent Island, MD, nearly my whole life and can say that this recipe with all lump meat with almost no filler tastes incredible!
Braised Short Ribs
These sherry braised short ribs are pretty much foolproof. As long as two things happen when you make this recipe, you are in for some very fine eats. First, the beef must be well browned— I'm talking deep, dark, crusty, and caramelized. The other key step is easier. Just braise them until they're fork-tender. To paraphrase an expression, "stick a fork in them, they're done." After browning properly, the only way to mess these up is to undercook them, so don't.
