Bon Appétit

A remarkably easy dessert that doesn't even require an ice cream maker.

Top with sour cream and chopped cilantro.

Festive pipe cookies spread with minted white chocolate and coated with dark chocolate. Great for after dinner.

A bed of rock salt helps keep the cooked clams in place on the platter.

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Serve the frittata with chunky salsa, and put together an avocado, jicama and red onion salad with cumin vinaigrette to have alongside. Melon wedges and pine nut cookies are just right for dessert.

Risotto de Bulgour aux Pois et Asperges At the restaurant, this is made with spelt, a chewy grain that requires much longer cooking than does the more readily available bulgur called for here.

Delicious with orzo or rice.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

The roulade is particularly stunning when accompanied by a glistening array of the Glacéed Fruits .
