Red Snapper and Star Fruit Soup

Lindy Boggs’s Oven-Fried Chicken
Lindy Boggs, who represented New Orleans in Congress for 18 years, was as astute in the kitchen as she was in politics, and deployed the knowledge that she had gained growing up on a Louisiana plantation in both. Mrs. Boggs, a Democrat who championed women’s economic concerns, did all the cooking for her yearly garden soirees, which were attended by more than 1,000 guests. Here is her easy recipe for oven-fried chicken, which should be for anyone afraid of stovetop frying. It is a weeknight recipe from a busy woman who cooked, and governed, with confidence and grace.

Yankee Pot Roast
Despite the hours it requires, pot roast is extremely easy to prepare because it needs little tending while it cooks, and it produces satisfying food for a crowd or for several meals, often both. That it calls for relatively inexpensive cuts of beef is also in its favor.

Watercress Meatloaf

Boiled Lobster With Lobster Mayonnaise
Here is a recipe for a cold lobster appetizer or main course that Mark Bittman and I ginned up for a feast-in-a-day project for The Times’s Sunday Magazine in 2012. You boil the lobsters off and allow them to cool, then reduce the leftover stock to make a flavoring agent for mayonnaise. Add some chopped lobster knuckles to that, and serve a dollop of it alongside the claw and tail meat, perhaps with herbs or a chopped salad. It’s fancy food made easy.
