French Potato Salad with Bacon : page 180

My family doesn't like mayonnaise based potato salads, so this is a great recipe for me. It's lighter and the flavor of the potato shines. It's delicious with or without the bacon.

Phyllo Triangles : page 8

This is a very easy appetizer to make, and delicious. They are so good that a Greek friend of mine remarked that they were better than his mother's. What a compliment! You can make them ahead and then freeze them. Great to have on hand. There are three fillings that you can make, I used the feta and spinach.

Profiteroles : page 292

The dough for the profiteroles is actually very easy to make. You can use the same dough to make cream puffs. After they are baked, stuff them with whipped cream instead of ice cream.

Veal Roll : page 106

This is a great dish for a dinner party. It takes a bit of work to assemble the roll and make the tomato sauce. But after you roast the veal you just slice and serve. It makes a beautiful presentation and it will wow your friends and family.
