Roast Chicken with Rosemary

This rosemary roasted chicken is inspired by my time in Italy. When I was in Vicenza at a downtown open-air market, I smelled scrumptious roast chicken from a stand. So, I bought one and saw what they stuffed in the cavity to make it taste so good. I prepare turkey this way, too.

Ruffled Milk Pie

This pie is of Greek origin and consists of a milk base, eggs, vanilla, and phyllo dough. It is then decorated with icing sugar and cinnamon.

Pork Roast with the World's Best Rub

This pork loin rub recipe is the best I have ever tasted! It's made with brown sugar, mustard, ginger, cayenne, cumin, thyme, and paprika. The dry rub penetrates all the way through and bakes into a sticky, sweet glaze.

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!
