Simply stunning. Stunningly simple. These fancy pants pears are perfect after being poached in a cinnamon-infused syrup and drizzled with a coffee-infused caramel sauce.

Onion and Feta Cheese Tart
Sweet caramelized onions and Greek feta cheese make this tart an ideal companion with a salad. It’s especially easy with store-bought puff pastry.
Citrus Risotto with Garlic-Chile Prawns
Tangy, hot, sweet, silky. That’s what we think of this citrus-scented risotto with sautéed shrimp that melds healthy with satsifying.
Rustic Cherry Puff Pastry Tart
Purplish cherries sink into a rich, fragrant frangipane as they bake into sweet oblivion and contrast spectacularly with the crisp puff pastry crust. Sounds terrible, eh?
Fried Eggs with Crisp Bread Crumbs
Got eggs, stale bread, and a skillet? Then you’ve got supper. Crisp and crunchy with soft and gooey. Thrifty, too.
Bangers and Mash
You could call this sausages with mashed potatoes. But we sorta feel obliged to say bangers and mash. Faux British accent optional.
Blueberry Tea Cake
An irresistible tea cake that’s essentially dessert masquerading as breakfast, lunch, or pretty much any nosh time when you crave something sweet.
Hot Chocolate Puddings
These just-the-right-size cakes have a crisp, brownie-like surface, a moist, pudding-like center, and, lurking beneath, a blissful pool of fudge sauce.
