This classic dessert features a buttery, flaky crust filled with tangy and smooth lemon curd topped with a light and fluffy meringue. Baked to perfection, the meringue is golden and slightly crisp on the outside while remaining soft and marshmallow-like on the inside. It’s a delightful balance of sweet and tart, making it a refreshing and indulgent treat for any occasion.
Savoury, umami porcini powder is the secret to these indulgent short ribs, a sophisticated entrée that is sure to impress but is easy to make ahead of time. Meaty short ribs are braised in red wine and stock until they are meltingly tender. Before serving, they are topped with a buttery mixture of garlic and sautéed mushrooms. Serve the ribs with mashed potatoes, polenta or even pillowy gnocchi to soak up every last bit of the porcini-infused sauce.
Dark chocolate and red wine join to create a luxuriously smooth pot de crème. The key to achieving a silky texture is twofold: tempering the egg yolks slowly with hot cream and then baking the cocottes in a water bath to achieve gentle, even heat. This decadent dessert is the perfect ending to your next dinner party. The pot de crème can be made up to two days in advance, so all you need to do after dinner is add a dollop of whipped cream and enjoy the moment.
