Penne rigate and mushroom Bourguignon  

Rome dominated the region now known as Burgundy in central Europe for centuries. They brought order, roads, empire and citizenship as well as a strong appetite for hearty cuisine. Bourguignon formed part of what the Romans called "Gallia Lugdunensis" (Celtic Gaul). In 486 the Franks, under Clovis I, overthrew Syagrius, the last Roman governor in Gaul and France was born.

Polly Bergen's Chili 

editor's note: We don't usually publish the author's photo with a recipe; but, if you've seen one bowl of chili...
well, can you blame us.



Nancy found this recipe in a copy of Parade Cookbook, "1978" and with one slight cutting board room edit created this vegan rendition that retains all the great taste and star quality of a classic chili
