This is a beautiful, fluffy French silk pie made without raw eggs. I recently made one for a pie auction and it sold for $65! Yes, it really is that tasty. I've been making this pie by memory for years, and I have no idea of the recipe's origin. Garnishing the pie with extra whipped cream and chocolate curls makes it fabulous!

Nutty Banana Bread
This is just a really good and hearty banana bread. If you're not a nut person just omit them, you can also add a few raisins if you'd like. I like it right after its made, drenched in whipped butter. It's so yummy.
Chef John's Pizza Rustica
Some people describe pizza rustica as an Italian meat-filled quiche, but I think this traditional Easter recipe is way closer to a savory cheesecake filled with a massive amount of goodness. The light, flaky crust holds together an embarrassment of riches — sausage, smoked ham, salami, and pepperoni, plus ricotta, mozzarella, and Pecorino Romano cheeses. It's definitely not like pizza!
Kentucky Biscuits
This is a great recipe, different than the usual biscuit. Serve piping hot with butter, jam, or honey.
