Super Creamy Mushroom Soup
Mushrooms and cream are a marriage made in heaven. This version is a cinch to make (and it puts that canned stuff to shame).

Pork Tenderloin Roulade aux Abricots
This dish is sure to impress your friends (They don’t have to know that it’s easy). The roast is perfectly accented by the apricots that are in both the stuffing and the glaze.
served with
 Broccoli Timbales
 This classic custard makes any meal more elegant.

Salad with Chunky Romesco Dressing
Mixed baby greens topped with an exotic tomato salad marinated in lemon juice and olive oil.

Chocolate Upside Down Cake
Don’t bother with the bakery! You’ll get raves with this long neglected, and superbly simple, classic cake. Just tuck a candle into the mounds of Grand Marnier-scented whipped cream and you’re all set.
