Chocolate Almond Soufflé

I love this Chocolate Almond Soufflé recipe. You turn it out upside down on a plate. You don’t have to worry if it falls because it is supposed to and you can make it ahead. Sadly, my husband is allergic to chocolate, so haven’t made it in awhile. You can go overboard and pour hot fudge sauce on it or sprinkle it with powdered sugar. I have a feeling I know what most people would do!

Broccoli, Bacon, Shallot & Provolone Quiche

This Broccoli, Bacon, Shallot & Provolone Quiche goes from brunch buffet to dinner table or picnic in a snap and is great with a leafy green salad. The flaky crust and custard filling make it a perfect vehicle for an array of mix-ins. Baking the crust before adding the filling, known as blind baking, ensures it won't get soggy.

Chicken in Milk

I know that Chicken in Milk sounds terrible, but you must suspend your disbelief and try this easy to make chicken. It’s a dish that originated in Italy, and is made by braising a whole chicken in milk, along with herbs, lemon and spices. The milk helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. The chicken is often served with pasta or rice.

Tunisian Almond & Orange Cake

I am the first to admit that I am not a great baker. I am put off by the exact measuring, perfect oven temperatures and general attention to detail; having said that, I do have a few things that I can pull off. This Tunisian Almond & Orange Cake is always a crowd-pleaser. It’s very unique and dead simple. By the way, it’s best if you make it a day ahead!
