Deep in the Louisiana Bayou where cast iron is king, Sam and Cody Carroll are making an entire Sunday night family dinner using one-pot cast-iron recipes. Their menu includes Sam's Shrimp and Corn Soup with Maque Choux Skillet Cornbread featuring sweet corn fresh from a nearby farm. Next, they're melding Cajun cooking with German cuisine in Robert's Cove Potato Salad. Finally, Sam's family recipe for Cast Iron Cobbler with Louisiana Blackberries meets Cody's family's Sassy Sauce to create a sweet new Sunday dinner tradition.
Mary Berg loves to cook outside and has recipes that take grill night to the next level. Brie and Pancetta Burgers are topped with chunky grilled red onion and gooey Brie cheese. For a vegetarian grill-friendly main, Mary's Grilled Soy Maple Mushrooms caramelize beautifully, and on the lighter side, Grilled Scallops with Minty Pea Salad are flavored with garlic, lemon and herbs on a peppery arugula base. Finally, Mary does some barbecue baking with decadent Cheese Stuffed Grilled Garlic Flatbreads.
Mary Berg is making low-effort recipes that cook slowly while filling the house with the most delicious aromas. Porchetta is two meals in one, starting with a pork dinner with sausage and pancetta filling slow roasted over a bed of fennel. Then, enjoy Porchetta Sandwiches the next day with zesty caper and herb mayo. With Slow Roasted Squash, Mary proves that low and slow isn't just for meat, and a Classic Pot Roast is everything you want in one pot.
