Very tasty and excellent to impress guests. Would make again for a bridal shower or brunch. The only tricky part is straining the lemon rind and mint mixture, so just quadruple the recipe when you make it so you don't have to keep blending and straining while your guests are there. The limoncello I found was a little pricey (about $22/bottle) but worth it. You can buy cheaper champagne, but don't go so cheap your guests wake up with a headache, in other words no Andre please.

Excellent! Super easy! It has burrata in it, need I say more. Elizabeth found delicious Burrata at Bay Cities Deli in Santa Monica.

I have made this many times and it is my favorite salad dressing. Very unique and refreshing. I especially like how the tarragon flavor really stands out. Feel free to substitute low fat milk for the cream and omit the anchovies if you don't have/like them.

Absolutely delicious! The creme fraiche really makes it rich and the tomato helps balance it out. Be sure to make more croutons than the recipe calls for because you will want them.

Really easy and tasty. Nice low fat dessert option, unless you have it with a cup of whipped cream like I did. I probably would have given it a 5, but it just wasn't as good as the stuff in Sicily...but hey that is a pretty high bar to set.
