Mocha Latte Logs
When my husband and I lived in England my family was obsessed with McVities Cafe Noir Biscuits. They are crunchy coffee flavor biscuits with a digestive base. I've yet to find them in the US, so I decided to make these, which do taste like them and I must say do look like logs. These Mocha Latte Logs are very easy to make and really delicious.

Mediterranean Brisket
This Mediterranean Brisket is so delicious and can be made with very little work. The fat on the brisket should not be cut off before cooking. This fat helps to keep the meat from drying out. You cook the brisket the day before, so that you can cool it and easily remove the fat, as brisket just improves with an overnight rest in the refrigerator.

Pasta E Fagioli
Pasta E Fagioli is one of my favorite ways to make pasta. The beauty of this dish is that you can make the "puréed sauce" in the morning and then add the broth and pasta to it later. I love things that you can do ahead. Crusty bread is mandatory for this meal - I mean if you're gonna carb load, do it properly!

Hob Nobs, Greek Yogurt, Almonds & Honey
A wonderful dessert that is light and fresh and yet rich, sweet and satisfying. It is so simple: four ingredients whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Basically, it is a “pudding” of Greek yoghurt spooned onto a bed of crumbles Hob Nob biscuits, drizzled with honey and topped off with a handful of toasted, sliced almonds.
