Harmony works its wonders in more than just music. This meal, for instance, is hitting all the high notes without humming a bar. Tender, luxurious lamb chops are served with a succulent cherry-demi sauce, combine rich and sweet for a chorus of flavor. Butternut squash, dusted with rosemary, provides a tasty baseline. And killing it on the high notes is a spinach gratin, resplendent with ricotta and Parmesan. Put this all together, and you've got a surefire chart-topper on your hands.
