A German classic, rich and delicious and not too sweet!

La Madeleine's Tomato Basil Soup recipe

"A tall, impressive cake that showcases the flavors and smells of the holidays. A three-layer extravaganza with a touch of molasses and shredded apple to keep it moist. It fills the house with a fragrance that beats the most expensive holiday-scented candle. It will be talked about long after the party is over." Source: The Pastry Queen Christmas, by Rebecca Rather

These days it seems to be all the rage among my Facebook friends to post and repost ad nauseum a seemingly neverending list of recipes that SEEM like they might be super delicious. I haven't really saved any of them. Until now. I really really didn't want to lose this one so I'm sharing it with my colleagues on MY favorite recipe site. RecipeLand!

This souffle like chocolate cake is so fluffy and full of chocolate flavor, with the creamy and chocolaty ganache frosting. Love chocolate? This is your cake!

Rich and delectable, this showy dessert makes an elegant finale to any dinner.

Almond-coffee meringue cookies are sandwiched with chocolate ganache. These macarons are absolutely additive, no wonder these small sweets are so popular in Paris. After you pop one into your mouth, you want another one, and another one...

Delicate and flaky Tilapia with an orange tarragon cream sauce, perfect for two servings for a quick and seemingly sophisticated dish. Serve with a rice pilaf to make it a meal.

Excellent soup. I didn't stir in the cream because the taste was so good without it. Amazing extra flavor of fennel seeds. Thanks.

Cooked two sole fillets in a hot pan with a bit oil, then served with this delicious orange tarragon cream sauce. It tasted delicious. Had some mint peas aside to add some refresh-ness. Quick, easy, healthy yet delicious!

Pan-roasting prevents the broccoli from becoming limp. A quick rich, cheesy (Swiss, Cheddar or Gruyere) pan sauce captures the caramelized bits of flavor. Bring them together and everyone loves their broccoli!

Salted caramel is filled in between the vanilla macaron shells, it's impossible to resist these sweets. Experience some seriously decadent and delicious explosion by popping one or two these vanilla salted caramel macarons into your mouth.

A favorite of ours which goes well with any type of fish, particularly flaky white fish.

Have been making all kinds of macarons recently, certainly has become my new addiction. These chocolate macarons are sandwiched with rich-silky chocolate ganache. They melt in your mouth.

Forget chocolate brownies. These gooey, caramel-filled blondies are heavenly.
