Bûche de Noël
Bûche de Noël is the French name for a Christmas cake shaped like a log. This recipe makes a heavenly flourless chocolate cake rolled with chocolate whipped cream and decorated with confectioners' sugar to resemble snow on a yule log. It doesn't just look beautiful — it tastes wonderful, too!
Biscuits with Herb Breakfast Sausage Gravy
I have my favorite Southern biscuits and gravy, but scaled it down and changed the seasonings for a decidedly Italian twist.
Chinese Steamed Fish
This Chinese steamed fish is my father's recipe and the one he taught me how to make. It's easy to prepare, hard to mess up, and very versatile. Halibut, sea bass, or any firm-fleshed white fish will work for this recipe. Serve over rice, using some of the sauce mixture from the steaming bowl.
