Tiramisu from Williams-Sonoma Essentials of Italian

This is not a sweet, somewhat bland tiramisu that makes people wonder what exactly is so great about tiramisu. Not at all. It is very rich, not too sweet, and 100% worth the preparation time. read more >

Cajun chicken pasta

This pasta is tasty and quick to whip up. We used a commercial Cajun spice mix (Club House brand) and added some hot pepper flakes for more heat. The only glitch was that the liquid didn't thicken much at all despite simmering it for longer than called for, upping the heat, and finally adding some cornstarch when neither tactic worked. Not sure what happened with the sauce but it was still delicious and a definite "make again" recipe.

Chicken Tikka Masala

A most excellent curry recipe that has been a hit with everyone I have made it for. If you don't like blisteringly hot food, I would recommend halving (or even quartering) the amount of cayenne pepper in the garam masala spice mix given and cutting out the hot peppers altogether. I use half the cayenne and it is plenty hot for myself and most of those I've made it for. It is also well worth preparing the chicken with the yogurt and seasoning as instructed, although I found that my broiler doesn't get nearly hot enough so I just roast the chicken and char it a bit at the end. This curry is a definite keeper.

Pasta with bacon and mushrooms

Very tasty! Easy too. I only used about half the cream/half-and-half amount but it still worked out well.
