Chicken-and-Sausage Gumbo
Jess Jackson asks for this ersatz gumbo every time he visits his Kentucky farm. “He always says, ‘We should have this once a week,’” Amber Huffman says. Then, when he’s about halfway through the bowl—‘OK, twice a week.’ It’s not authentic gumbo, but Creole flavors have crept up to Kentucky.”
Sausage-and-Pepper Heros
These sandwiches pair well with a smoky, intense California Syrah.

Sausage Potato Puffs
Maria Helm Sinskey has a strategy for parties: there should be a mix of baked, fried and fresh hors d’oeuvres.
