My good friend Lin gave me a recipe for beef in oyster sauce, I misread the amount of black pepper called for in her recipe, and the result was fantastic! I especially like the recipe because no soy sauce is used. My husband likes to eat them with the leftover sliced uncooked onion to bring out the sweetness of the oyster sauce.

I learned how to make French-style lasagna when I worked in France. It features bechamel (white sauce) instead of ricotta, and Swiss cheese. Full of great flavor — I always get compliments!
