This New Zealand pavlova recipe is a family favorite that we often make at dinner parties and the Christmas table. Its crunchy meringue outside and marshmallow center make a perfect combination. Top it with fresh fruit and whipped cream.

Chef John's Easy Apple Pie
This apple pie is not your typical dessert. The filling is caramelized apples held together with a very glossy, just-thick-enough apple syrup.
Chicken Scallopini
This chicken scallopini with piccata sauce makes an awesome romantic dinner for two. Many have heard of veal scallopini, but you can make this Italian dish with any meat or vegetables. The trick is to use a demi-glace of the same style; for example, a venison demi-glace if using deer.
Southern Pecan Pie II
I received this recipe from my friend Joyce three years ago, she in turn got it from a elderly southern lady. It is a real classic Southern style pecan pie and is very pretty too!
