Greek Moussaka

From the Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens comes this definitive casserole featuring eggplant and potatoes. The cheese of choice is kefalograviera (or graviera) made from a mixture of cow, goat and sheep's milk. A good substitute is Gruyere.

Berry Ice Cream Cake

This ice cream layer cake is the summer’s showstopping dessert— it simply can’t be beat!

Beef Wellingtons

Wow your guests with this variation on a classic. Instead of one large Wellington, make individual packages for an elegant presentation and no carving at the table. Cut the steaks to an equal thickness to ensure that they're all perfectly cooked through at the same time.

Boeuf Bourguignon

The secret to meltingly tender beef is all in the right cut: a well-marbled cross-rib pot roast. Bourguignon means as prepared in Burgundy, a district synonymous with Pinot Noir wine. So it makes sense to use a Burgundy or New World Pinot Noir both for braising and serving.

The Ultimate Burger Buns

Fresh and fluffy, these homemade buns will elevate your burgers to the next level.

Curried Beef Patties

The pressures of making dinner after a busy workday and long commute leave little time in the evenings for Gail and Amber to spend together. These patties freeze well, so making them together on the weekend is a great way to share quality time and free up weeknights. To complete the meal, add a green salad and yogurt with fruit for dessert.

Chocolate on Chocolate Trifle

If there were an award for over-the-top desserts, this triple-chocolate treat would take the cake. It's pure heaven on a spoon, with layers of white and dark chocolate custard, fudgy brownies and totally decadent chopped-up chocolate bars.
