Greek Phyllo-Wrapped Chicken

All over Greece, delicate phyllo pastry encloses savoury and sweet ingredients in pies called pita. Here, we incorporate traditional flavours in an easy, make-ahead dish that's everyday friendly yet elegant enough for company.

Mini Alfajores

These tender, shortbread-like dulce de leche--filled sandwich cookies are popular in South and Central America.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with Orange Zest

Summer Fruit Galette

Cran-Raspberry Shorty Squares

Thick and moist with a jewel-like cranberry and raspberry filling, these delectable squares pile up high and tempting on a plate.

Berry Lemon Curd Trifle

What better way to showcase raspberries and blueberries when they're in season than in a chilled lemony trifle? You can make this dessert well in advance, so it's ideal for a dinner party or casual barbecue.

Lemon Poppy Seed Thins

A log of slice-and-bake cookies is handy as a novel hostess present, or to stash in the freezer for refreshing supplies as needed.

Sunken Chocolate Raspberry Cakes with Raspberry Sauce

Each little soft fudgy cake sinks in the middle to become the perfect holder for a scoop of sorbet. And with its garnish of raspberry sauce (plus a few raspberries if you like), this dessert becomes positively dramatic.

Dark Chocolate Pots de Crème

Gently whisking the hot chocolate mixture into the egg mixture—known as tempering—will result in a smooth custard and not a curdled mess.

Squash and Caramelized Onion Lasagna
