Best Ever Chocolate Sponge Cake
This recipe was created after I miscalculated a recipe for brownies. The brownies were horrible but the result was a perfect chocolaty sponge cake. I make it ever since and it's perfect for a layer cake, frosting or on it's own.
Salad Niçoise
Niçoise salad is a delightful French salad featuring tuna, potatoes, tomatoes, fresh green beans, hard-boiled eggs, and olives on a bed of greens. A great summer meal that you can dress up with other garden vegetables like asparagus if you like!
Garlic-Rosemary Mushrooms
These simple sauteed mushrooms work as a quick, weeknight side dish. To turn them into a main course, toss with cooked pasta and a generous handful of Parmesan cheese or fold into an omelet with Gruyere, fontina or Swiss cheese.
