Everyone has a soft spot for meat and potatoes. On today's EVERYDAY FOOD, the cooks create a wide range of recipes for this timeless American comfort food. Sarah starts off with lamb shanks and potatoes, using a slow cooker to create tender, flavorful lamb and creamy potatoes. The side dish is wilted spinach with nutmeg. Today's "Have You Tried?" ingredient is flour tortillas. Lucinda uses this Mexican staple to create spicy beef and potato burritos. Layered with sour cream and cheese, they make a great casual dinner. Emma's "Cooking for One" preparation is steak with bell pepper sauce, served with garlic mashed potatoes. Margot prepares prosciutto-wrapped pork chops with pan-roasted rosemary potatoes. For the perfect end to a decadent dinner, Allie makes red wine and pear sorbet. It's sweet, light and refreshing.
