Again, an Ina Garten recipe, this lemon filling uses nine eggs( four of the whites are used for the meringue) and is not as tart in flavor as the cornstarch-based filling. The filling and tarte crust can be made a day ahead.

Provencal Vegetable Soup
This was a hit with friends at a recent lunch. I served it with Croque Monsieur (French grilled ham & cheese sandwiches) and a tossed salad.
It can be hearty or light, depending on the amount of pistou added.
Southwest Chicken Soup
This soup was a favorite when the French students ran the concession stands for basketball games at Caldwell High.
Hamburger Soup
A good winter warmer that can be made quickly.
Candied Pecans
I always bag sacks for Christmas gifts. Great in salads or as a snack! The original recipe called for 1 pound of nuts. If you like more “candy” use that quantity.
World’s Best Chocolate Sauce
I found this in Bound to Please. It keeps well, if not consumed right away… also good in hot coffee! Very easy and rich!!!
Pears / Poire Belle Helene
This is a classic French dessert the French students learned to make. It can be done with canned or fresh pears.
