Secret pecan tart recipe
For Thanksgiving I made a pecan tart with a foolproof crust recipe from America’s Test Kitchen. It seriously is foolproof and the best crust ever. The secret is that it uses vodka.

Paris wedding charivari (Shivaree)
In France, the custom of charivari now often includes a drive through the town in a parade of decorated cars with horns blaring.

This was the couples car for a wedding in Paris .
Not your Grandmother’s Waldorf Salad
Waldorf salad, originally created at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, has been a classic in homes for generations. We updated the classic by giving it a new look. Walnuts, raisins, apples, and celery with a strawberry mayonnaise dressing. The dressing is made with a little walnut oil, crème fraîche and pepper flakes as well.
