Parsley and Parmesan Crusted Pork Tenderloin
A parsley and Parmesan crust is an easy way to dress up pork for your family or guests! Serve with egg noodles or rice.
Russian Honey Cake
This honey cake can be made in three different ways: the hard way, the harder way, and how we're going to do it — the hardest way... Because it's that worth it. The secret to this cake's fantastic flavor is the tiny amount of bitterness from burnt honey. The slightly tangy whipped cream frosting provides a bit of acidity and lovely light texture, and unlike other frostings, it's not too sweet.
Chocolate Mousse with Cocoa Powder
No cooking involved, and it just doesn't get much easier than this for an elegant dessert. I like to pipe the mousse into small shooter glasses for a lovely presentation. Everybody has room for a mini dessert! Chilling the bowl and beaters will result in a better whipped cream.
