Rustic Chicken and Dumplin's
Photography: Carson Downing / Food: Lauren McAnelly / Prop Styling: Laura Ellefson/Lexi Juhl
"There are so many ways to make this dish, and since our brothers and sisters cook as well our family has several versions. I often ask the meat department or butcher to hand cut a whole chicken into pieces for me (the backbone and wings can be used later to make stock). This is one of Dolly's favorite dishes, so I usually make it for her birthday in January." — Rachel Parton George

Beef Ragu
"Beef ragu—a traditional Italian dish—is a slow-simmered sauce made with beef, tomatoes, pasta, etc. Many newer ragu recipes use sambal oelek or anchovy paste to help build flavor, so I've used harissa, but feel free to replace with 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper or 1 teaspoon fennel seeds or omit." —Liv Dansky
