Congratulations to my friend Jeff Young on the pending publication of his first book, Around the Table with the Catholic Foodie: Middle Eastern Cuisine. He conducts tours of the Holy Land and has pulled together a collection of great recipes celebrating that ancient culinary heritage. You can preorder a copy today, or, if you find yourself in Covington on the 18th, LOLA is hosting a dinner party in his honor. Tickets include an authographed copy of the book. ust two weeks to go. It's one of my favorite holidays of the year; I love turkey, stuffing, and gravy and always make sure there's plenty for leftovers. What do you consider to be a necessity for your Thanksgiving menu? Email me, and include a recipe if you have one. I've spent the week in the kitchen — we've developed some pretty spectacular recipes for the Jan/Feb issue, including easy homemade pasta we're turning into ravioli stuffed with all kinds of goodness. My second-generation Italian husband declared the final version almost as good as his Nona made, straight from the Old Country. I'll take that as a compliment. The Nov/Dec issue (pictured at right) is hitting subscriber mail boxes and readers are loving it. Regular contributor Wendy Waren developed a Satsuma Rum Cake for the issue that's full of flavor; I think the Gingerbread House Workshop challenge is the most fun. Readers can submit photos of their own creations and enter to win a copy of Ralph Brennan's New Orleans Seafood Cookbook and use it to create their own feasts. There's lots more in the issue -- holiday cookies, endless variations on a simple fudge recipe, and feast food for the entire season. Pick it up on a newsstand if you're not a subscriber, or call us at 504-208-9959 to order a copy. Enjoy this week's recipes, share them with family and friends, and, as always, let me know what's on your mind.

Curry Chicken and Coconut Soup over Rice My fried Jeff Young, who writes The Catholic Foodie blog, has his first cookbook out. He has conducted group tours of the Holy Land, and was inspired by the cuisine he enjoyed there to write The Catholic Foodie: Middle Eastern Cuisine. I made this recipe last night — it comes together quickly despite the lengthy ingredient list. Leftovers freeze well, so feel free to double it (that's how it appears in the cookbook).

Ham and Potato Casserole This recipe first appeared in the November/December 2013 edition of LK&C. It's a great way to use up any leftover ham, but it's so cheesey good you'll find yourself picking up a ham steak and a couple of potatoes just because you want it on a cold night.
