Chocolate Sauce : page 386
Excellent hot fudge sauce made to celebrate National Ice Cream Day. The sauce comes together in no time with only a minimal amount of heating needed. It does need a little bit of time to thicken so plan accordingly.
I used a mixture of dark chocolate, semisweet chocolate and bittersweet chocolate - all various Lindt bars I had in the pantry. Yummy!
The recipe makes a very large amount so now we need to come up with ideas for the leftovers. What a problem to have!

Cream Biscuits : page 275
Light & flaky & delicious!
To the best of my knowledge, I've never had authentic biscuits so I'm not really sure what they're supposed to be like. These biscuits were super easy to make. I tried very hard not to overwork the dough though it seemed like it didn't want to stay together.
I rolled out the dough and got 9 biscuits. I brushed cream on them before baking. They came out wonderfully! So light and flaky. My middle son ate 3 and kept trying to convince me not to save any for Dad to eat later.
I could eat these every day.

Vinaigrette : page 44
Just starting to make my own salad dressings and this recipe couldn't be easier. Red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt pepper and Italian seasoning. Comes together in under a minute.

Whipped Cream : page 387
I suppose it's rather silly to review a recipe for whipped cream unless, of course, one does not know how to make it.
I substituted confectioners sugar for granulated sugar because I don't like the grit that granulated sugar can give to whipped cream. Otherwise, a few minutes in the KitchenAid and three simple ingredients makes wonderful whipped cream to put on top of our Easter sundaes.
