At Home with Magnolia: Classic American Recipes from the Founder of Magnolia Bakery

At Home with Magnolia presents more than ninety everyday recipes from Allysa Torey, founder of the Greenwich Village bakery. The cookbook features country-style cooking inspired by her upstate New York home, using locally grown and seasonal ingredients. Recipes include new takes on traditional American dishes such as Chicken and Vegetable Stew with Cream Cheese Herb Crust, Sweet Potato Casserole with Almond-Streusel Topping, and Yellow Split Pea Soup with Smoked Ham Hock. Starters range from Crab and Crayfish Cakes with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce to Yellow Beet, Walnut, and Gorgonzola Salad. For weeknight dinners, there are recipes like Lemon-Tarragon Chicken and Grilled Salmon with Corn and Cherry Tomato Salad. More elaborate entertaining dishes include Mustard Herb Pork Loin Roast with Cornbread Apple-Pecan Dressing and Cider Gravy. The cookbook also contains two dozen dessert recipes.
