CRAIG CLAIBORNE'S AMBROSIA
This mixture of oranges, bananas, grated coconut and sugar is a dessert that is considered by many to be as Southern as magnolias and mint juleps. Craig Claiborne brought this recipe to The Times in 1987 after spending Thanksgiving at the Elgin mansion house, a Greek Revival-style home, in Natchez, Miss., built between 1840 and 1855, and owned by Dr. William Calhoun and his wife, Ruth Ellen. Ethel Banta, Ms. Calhoun's sister, contributed this recipe. Need a few tips on how to segment citrus? Here's a video.

Steps:
- Peel the oranges, cutting away all the white pith. Using a sharp stainless steel knife, carefully cut the juicy flesh from the membranes that surround it. Discard the membranes and any seeds. There should be about 5 cups of flesh.
- Put one-fourth of the orange sections in a crystal bowl and add half a cup of the coconut and half a cup of banana slices. Sprinkle with one-fourth of the sugar. Continue making layers until all the ingredients are used. Sprinkle with enough orange juice to moisten well. Chill and serve.

CRAIG CLAIBORNE'S SMOTHERED CHICKEN
Craig Claiborne was a child of Mississippi who started as food editor of The Times in 1957 and did as much as anyone to help bring home cooking into the spotlight. The dish "belongs in the 'comfort' category," he wrote in 1983, "a food that gives solace to the spirit when you dine on it." You could give your smothered chicken some European flair with mushrooms and small onions in the gravy, as Claiborne did in his experiments with Pierre Franey, then his kitchen co-pilot. Or you could send yourself south to the Creole tastes of the Delta, with a blend of tomatoes, chopped celery, onion and green peppers added to the sauce. But sometimes the easiest way is the best. Try it.

Steps:
- Craig Claiborne believed a cast-iron skillet to be essential for the authentic preparation of this dish. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Select a skillet large enough to hold the chicken comfortably when it is opened up, as for broiling. Fold wings under to secure them.
- Melt the butter in the pan and add the chicken, skin side down. Cover chicken with a plate that will fit comfortably inside the skillet. Place a heavy can, stone or brick on top of the plate to weigh it down. Cook over low heat, checking the chicken skin, until it is nicely browned, about 25 minutes.
- Remove weight and plate. Turn chicken so skin side is up. Replace plate and weight and continue cooking for about 15 minutes more.
- Remove chicken and pour off fat from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add the flour to the fat, stirring with a wire whisk over medium heat. Gradually add the chicken broth and, when thickened, return chicken to the skillet, skin side up. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover with the plate and weight and continue cooking over low heat about 20 to 30 minutes longer or until the meat is exceptionally tender. Spoon the sauce over it.
- Cut chicken into serving pieces, and serve with the sauce and fluffy rice on the side.

CRAIG CLAIBORNE'S CREAM PUFFS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Rub a baking sheet all over with butter and sprinkle with flour. Shake sheet back and forth until surface is coated with flour. Shake off excess.
- Put water in a saucepan and add 8 tablespoons butter, salt and sugar. Bring to a boil.
- Add 1 cup flour all at once, stirring vigorously around and around with a wooden spoon until a ball is formed and no mixture is left on the sides of the saucepan.
- Add one egg, beating vigorously and rapidly with the spoon until it is well blended with the mixture. Add another egg, beat until incorporated, and continue with remaining eggs until all are beaten in.
- Fit a pastry bag with a round-tipped No. 6 pastry tube. Spoon mixture into the bag. Holding the pastry bag straight up with tip close to the floured surface of the baking sheet, squeeze it to make mounds of pastry at 2-inch intervals all over pan. There should be about 36 mounds.
- The mounds may have pointed tips on top. To flatten these, wet a clean tea towel and squeeze it well. Open it up, fold it over in thirds. Hold it stretched directly over the mounds, quickly patting down just enough to rid the mounds of the pointed tips. Do not squash the mounds.
- Place pan in oven and bake 30 minutes, or until cream puffs are golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let cool.
