Crown Roast of Pork

Extravagant, yes, but this roast is a sight to behold and perfect for a celebratory meal. There's nothing quite like an impressive roast and saffron rice pilaf to elicit oohs and ahs from guests while satisfying their appetites. For easy serving, be sure to ask the butcher for a roast with 12 ribs.

Mediterranean Yogurt Dip

This Mediterranean-inspired layered dip makes a refreshing and simple appetizer that comes together in minutes. Use 2% Greek yogurt for the best results, as it's thicker than nonfat versions. Serve with herbed pita chips for dipping.
