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.

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!

German Chocolate Cupcakes

Contrary to popular belief, German chocolate cake did not originate in Germany. Its roots can be traced back to 1852 when American Samuel German developed a type of dark baking chocolate for the American Baker's Chocolate Company. The brand name of the product, Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate, was named in honor of him. German's chocolate cake, is a layered chocolate cake from the US filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. This version uses cocoa powder and is made into cupcakes.

Matzo Crack

Guest blogger Jessica from Beauty Marks.
Matzo Crack has come to be a Passover staple, and is, as far as I’m concerned, the highest and best use of matzo. Some call it matzo Roca (and put almonds on it like Almond Roca), some matzo toffee – but matzo crack most aptly describes it. You will want more. You will scrape up the spilled baked brown sugar mixture from the cookie sheet. Your guests will rave.
