Pecan-Sticky-Buns_HERO

What’s better than the smell of warm cinnamon sticky buns in the morning? How about those buns being covered in rich, gooey caramel sauce and topped with pecans? Thanks to Dennis Prescott’s easy, make-ahead recipe, this dream can become a reality. Do note that the buns should be assembled at least 8 hours ahead of baking, so plan accordingly.

Porcini-Beef-Tenderloin_hero

Looking for a gorgeous, special occasion main course? Look no further than this beef tenderloin coated with fresh herbs and savory porcini powder and served with a rich, buttery mushroom sauce. To make it even easier, you can prepare the sauce up to the point of adding the butter a whole day ahead. Cover and refrigerate, then reheat gently. When ready to serve, add the butter and stir.

Cranberry-Cowboy-Candy_Hero

Our regular Cowboy Candy (aka candied jalapeños) was such a hit that we decided make a version for the holidays by adding tart cranberries to complement the sweet heat. Perfect with turkey (you can sub it for the usual cranberry sauce) it would also go well with salmon and lamb and is great paired with cheese.

Fontina-Dip_Hero

Here’s the perfect dip for entertaining. Why? Aside from its cheesy, roasted garlic goodness, the whole thing can be made ahead before cooking and refrigerated. Then, about a half hour before serving, all you need to do it stick it on the grill. Serve it with sliced apples, crostini, crackers, or crudité for dipping.

Sunday-Lunch-Lasagna-HERO

For his new cookbook, Cook with Confidence, Dennis Prescott collected his favorite recipes for sharing with family and friends. One magnificent example: This fragrant and meaty lasagna. Dennis is the first to admit that making it is a bit of a commitment, but, that you'll feel a beautiful sense of accomplishment. You can also spread out the work; for instance, simmering the sauce a day or so ahead. And, of course, lasagna improves upon sitting, so you can always bake it the day before you plan to serve it.
