Chicken Murphy recipe

Steamed halibut, onion, bok choy and shiitake mushrooms are drizzled with garlic-ginger-soy based vinaigrette. Refreshing and delicious.

This is the best Monte Cristo sandwich in the world... and I don't just mean Disneyworld. It seems complicated but believe me..it is well worth the effort. Make each item in the order given. The Currant Jelly Sauce and the Fruit Compote go alongside.

An ice cream is topped with a mixture of fresh fruits and orange juice, which gives you the creaminess and sweetness with lots of refreshing taste.

Only 5 ingredients and very quick and easy to prepare chicken soup that's suitable for chicken dinner.

A special recipe from Sur la table. You can form and chill the crab cakes up to 8 hours before cooking and serving. The aioli can be made one day ahead. Bring to room temp and whisk before using.

Casserole Florentine recipe

One of my favorites. These are the cookies I make when I am trying to impress someone or cheer a person up. Though they are made with milk chocolate they are not too sweet. The edges are airy and crunchy and the center is soft and chewy.
