This delicious kapusta recipe was passed down by my Polish grandmother. I grew up eating it at every holiday meal. It's often served as a side dish but makes a great main dish for vegetarians. Sauerkraut takes on a whole new flavor when baked — try it and see for yourself!

Fresh Fruit Flan
This fruit flan recipe was given to me by a great cook and great friend. In some countries, such as the U.K. and Germany, flan is not a baked custard dessert but instead similar to a fruit tart, made with a cake-like crust, custard filling, and fresh fruit on top. This recipe is a riff on that style of flan, made with a cream cheese filling reminiscent of what we in the U.S. call a fruit pizza.
