Jalapeno Pepper Sauce
Oysters Rockefeller
In this classic recipe, the Rockefeller name refers to the dollar bill-green color of the sauce — and its richness, as it’s loaded with butter, garlic, spinach and herbs. You can make the butter sauce up to three days ahead and store it in the refrigerator, then drop dollops of it on shucked oysters just before broiling. Watch the oysters carefully as they broil. You want the bread crumbs in the topping to turn golden and the oysters to warm up slightly but not cook through. Serve these with forks on the side; all the hot, buttery sauce makes them too slick for slurping.

Southern Mesclun Salad
Charcoal-Grilled Stuffed Quail
The chef Bill Neal, of Crook’s Corner in Chapel Hill, N.C., taught Craig Claiborne how to make this delectable recipe in 1985. Eating well, Mr. Neal said, was his family’s preoccupation in their small farming community near Gaffney, S.C. “Both my grandmothers were marvelous cooks, but no one in that community ever thought of going to a restaurant. It was all home cooking.”

Craig Claiborne’s Ambrosia
This mixture of oranges, bananas, grated coconut and sugar is a dessert that is considered by many to be as Southern as magnolias and mint juleps. Craig Claiborne brought this recipe to The Times in 1987 after spending Thanksgiving at the Elgin mansion house, a Greek Revival-style home, in Natchez, Miss., built between 1840 and 1855, and owned by Dr. William Calhoun and his wife, Ruth Ellen. Ethel Banta, Ms. Calhoun's sister, contributed this recipe. Need a few tips on how to segment citrus? Here's a video.
Ambrosia
This is a classic Southern dessert in which layers of oranges, bananas and coconut are drizzled with honey, lemon juice and Cointreau. The perfect sweet to serve in the dreary midwinter months when your palate is craving something bright and juicy, but the berries haven't arrived yet.
South Carolina Pecan Tartlets
The spring of 2013 saw us down in Charleston, S.C., a stunning city, rich with history both sad and ecstatic, in a region that offers a tremendous bounty of fresh ingredients and regional flavors. We had the vague idea of cooking a holiday feast to celebrate the season — one that was grand and nondenominational — that would help banish memories of winter. These little pecan tarts helped a great deal. They're ideal for dinner parties, and reward the use of fresh Southern pecans.
