Arugula (Rocket) or Baby Spinach tossed with a flavorful warm mushroom and onion dressing. A perfect balancing of fresh clean flavor with a warm woodsy note from the mushrooms.

La Madeleine's Tomato Basil Soup recipe

Juicy and sweet watermelon cubes are tossed with fresh mint leaves, feta cheese and a light yet tasty citrus dressing made with orange juice, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and a bit shallots. Use any kind of your favorite greens as a base. A great summer salad.

Tangy and tasty salad that combines fall/winter fruit and beets with a creamy dressing. Feel free to use canned or pickled beets in place of the fresh beets to save time.

This may be one of the most exceptional souffles you'll ever serve. The beet color spreads upward from the bottom layer, creating a rosy hue throughout.

Israeli couscous with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. A delightful side dish.

Quick to prepare, great flavor. The fish takes on a caramel color on the outside, and stays flakey white on the inside, which creates a nice appearance.

Very pleasing to the eye and the palate. Easy recipe. I used honey instead of maple syrup and cinnamon instead of mustard. Don't use water when there is all that pineapple juice!
