TODAY on MHTV: If you’ve got a party falling somewhere between Monday and Friday, don’t go crazy trying to pull it together. All you need is a few easy, make-ahead appetizers and you’re set. Gravlax—wild salmon cured in a fennel-infused mix—can be made up to a day or two in advance. Then I’m making shrimp cocktail with three different dipping sauces, and a no-cook platter of radishes with salt and olive oil. Since it’s a party, my friend Michelli is coming over to shake up some of her famous Brazilian caipirinha cocktails. More from the show.
Get the recipes from this episode:
Gravlax with Sweet Mustard Sauce
Shrimp Cocktail with Three Sauces
Radishes with Olive Oil and Salt

Lucinda’s favorite way to eat Thanksgiving dinner is the next day, layered into a pie. Her rule for the feast, and how to build the one the kids called Danksgiving Pie. -
Rustic home cook, practical cook, chef. Lucinda on her three sons, the cooks she hired over the years, and why you only need one superpower in the kitchen. -
The salad dressing Lucinda’s mother Rose made every night got two million views on TikTok. A lettuce recall, a pair of measuring spoons, and a damn good dressing. Recipe included. -
Our prior dog had passed. We weren’t sure we wanted another. Then a cinnamon-colored puppy named Lychee was the last one left at the Cape Ann Animal Shelter. -
Every tool we make has to do more than one job. Lucinda on where that rule came from, the Super Spoon, and a 100-year-old potato masher called a Beetle.

Hi Lucinda,
Love appetizers. I enjoy when friends have an appetizer party. I don’t need a sit down dinner.
My family made eggplant rollatini this weekend. It was wonderful. It was the first time I had it. I will no doubt be making it again.

Your method from your grandmother for fried eggs with a little water was the best tip ever. I wish I had known it years ago. Thanks for the tip.

Hi Lucinda,
The Hallmark Channel must put you on more. 4 days a week is ridiculous. I made the raddichio and endive side dish last night for my family. Actually we had it as a meal. It was so tasty. Bravo to you and your guest teacher for sharing it with viewers.
