Chanterelles have a lovely mellow flavor and a beautiful light-orange color. If you can't get your hands on chanterelles, really any other wild mushroom or store-bought chestnut mushrooms will do. Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche or sour cream.

Strawberry (Jam!) Cream Cheese Frosting
This foolproof frosting keeps it simple. While very sweet, it's just the thing to balance the natural flavor of a homestyle scratch cake recipe. I used it the first time to lighten up a cake made with a heavy whole grain white flour. Uh-mazing!
Durty Nelly's Seafood Chowder
This is one of my favorite recipes to serve on a cold, rainy day in Ireland. It is the most requested recipe that I have. It is flexible and you can use various seafood ingredients depending on availability and preference. Very nice with Irish brown bread.
Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Pancakes
This is my mother's and grandmother's old-fashioned buttermilk pancakes recipe from Western Tennessee. I have never found anything that comes close to the flavor of these pancakes. Add small berries for a different flavor boost. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
