Based on the Tasting History recipe.

2 ½ lb acorn squash 12 oz green apple 3 eggs ¼ cup dried herbs (I used sage, fennel seed, ground coriander, and thyme) 2 Tbsp butter 2/3 cup dried fruit ½ cup raw sugar ¼ cup fruit juice 1 unbaked pie crust extra butter for frying

I chose acorn squash rather than pumpkin because it doesn't need to be peeled. And the different colors from the skin and the flesh makes a nice visual.

Cut the acorn squash in half, cut out the stem, and scoop out the seedy innards. Cut the squash into thin slices.

Thinly slice the apples and remove the cores.

Preheat oven to 425° F.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the herbs.

Melt some butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Dip the squash slices into the egg mixture, then fry them in a single layer for a few minutes on each side. Add more butter as needed between batches of squash.

Combine the fried squash with 2 Tbsp butter, dried fruit, sugar, and fruit juice. Gently stir together.

Prepare the pie crust in the baking pan. Put a layer of apple slices in the bottom of the pie, then add the pumpkin filling.

Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 375° F and bake for 40-50 minutes.

1 ½ lb strawberries ½ cup sugar 1 Tbsp butter 1/3 cup strawberry jam 1 cup 2% milk ½ cup cream

Cut tops off strawberries. Combine strawberries, sugar, and butter in a pot. Stir over medium heat until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.

In a large bowl, combine milk and cream.

In a blender, puree the strawberries with their syrup, and the jam, until totally smooth. Stir into the milk mixture.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in fridge or freezer until completely cold.

Churn in ice cream machine for 20-25 minutes. It can be served soft at this point, or transferred to an air-tight container to freeze harder.

This recipe makes 2 batches for my machine.

1 ½ cups sugar ½ cup butter ½ cup coconut oil or shortening 2 eggs 2 ¾ cups flour 2 tsp cream of tartar 1 tsp baking soda ¼ tsp salt ¼ cup sugar 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Chop the butter into small cubes and combine with 1 ½ cups sugar, coconut oil/shortening, and eggs in large bowl. Use an egg beater to cream the ingredients together.

Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, stirring until it forms a dough that sticks together. It may take a few minutes to mix in the chunks of butter.

In a small bowl, stir together the ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon.

Shape dough into small balls. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with baking parchment.

Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. It is ok if they don't look completely baked. They will repose on the hot sheet and will stay soft instead of getting dry and crispy from baking longer. Place the cookie sheet on a wire rack to cool.

4 cups gluten-free flour mix 2 tsp sugar 2 Tbsp baking powder 2 tsp salt ½ cup butter ¾ cup sour cream ¾ cup water 1 large egg (or 2 small eggs) extra butter, softened

In a large bowl, whisk together the GF flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into the mixture until there are no large chunks of butter.

In a medium bowl, beat together the sour cream, water, and egg. Stir this mixture into the flour mixture.

Sprinkle GF flour onto your work surface, then put out he dough and knead it lightly to bring it together. Roll it into a slab about ½” thick. Cut out circles of dough, I used a 3” cookie cutter. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Brush the tops of the biscuits with softened butter.

Place biscuits in freezer and set the oven to heat to 450° F. Once it has heated, bake the biscuits for 18-20 minutes, until the tops and bottoms are lightly golden brown.

Serve warm or let cool on a rack.

2 cups flour, or a gluten-free flour mix ½ cup sugar ½ tsp salt 2 ½ tsp baking powder ½ cup butter, frozen ¼ cup sour cream ¼ cup milk 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla extract 2/3 cup rolled oats 1/3 cup sliced almonds extra milk

Whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter and cut it into the flour mix until there is no dry powder.

Whisk milk, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Pour over the flour mixture, add the oats and almonds, then stir to combine.

Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Dump the dough onto the sheet and press it together into a ball, then press it into a thick, flat disk. Use a dough cutter to cut it into 8 wedges. Pull them apart from each other. Brush the tops with the extra milk. Put the pan into the fridge or freezer while the oven is heating.

Preheat oven to 400° F. Bake for 18-25 minutes.

2 ½ cups flour 2 Tbsp sugar 1 Tbsp baking powder 1 tsp salt ½ cup butter 3 eggs 2/3 cup buttermilk 2/3 cup grated sharp cheddar ¼ cup chopped chives ¼ cup grated sharp cheddar (to top scones)

Preheat oven to 375° F.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter. Stir in the cheddar and chives.

Whisk 2 eggs and combine with the buttermilk. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just moist.

Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface and knead lightly. Cut dough in half. Roll each half into a circle about ¾” thick. Cut each circle into 4 wedges. Whisk remaining egg in a small dish and brush on top of the scones.

Let the scones rest for about 10 minutes before baking. Sprinkle each scone with about a Tbsp of grated cheddar.

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.

1 ½ cups flour ¼ cup sugar ¼ cup rolled oats ¼ cup butter 1/3 cup milk 1 egg Sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 400° F.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and oats. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, beat together milk and egg yolk, then stir into flour mixture.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to ½” thick. Cut out biscuits with a 1 ½” round cutter. Reroll the dough and cut more biscuits. At this size, the recipe should make about 18 biscuits.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place biscuits on it.

In a small bowl, beat the egg white. Brush the tops of the biscuits with egg white, and top with sliced almonds.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Crust: 1 ½ cups flour or a gluten-free flour mix ½ cup nut flour ¼ cup honey ½ cup butter

Filling: ¼ cup corn starch 2 Tbsp honey 1 tsp baking powder 1 lb plums 4 eggs

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9×13” cake pan.

Stir together the flour and nut flour. Cut honey and butter into the flour until there is no more fine powder and it can be pressed together into dough. Press dough evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned.

When the crust is baking, remove the stones from the plums, then combine the corn starch, honey, baking powder, plums, and eggs in a blender. Blend until liquefied.

Pour the filling over the hot crust, and bake for 20-25 more minutes.

1 cup water ½ cup butter ¼ cup sugar ½ tsp salt 2 ¼ tsp yeast 1 egg 3 cups flour

Add ½ cup water, butter, and ¼ cup flour to a saucepan. Heat on medium heat until butter melts. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar and salt, stir until dissolved.

In a small bowl, beat the egg.

Add yeast, egg, and remaining water to mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly. Stir in the rest of the flour until totally combined.

Cover bowl with greased foil and place in the refrigerator for 6-48 hours.

When ready to bake, remove dough from the refrigerator. Place dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece between your hand and the counter, working your hand in a flat, circular motion.

Place rolls on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for one hour.

While rolls rise, preheat oven to 425° F. Bake rolls for 18-25 minutes, until golden-brown.
