Crepes Suzette is a classic and a total treat! In lieu of fireworks, how about an elegant and dramatic dessert to say goodbye to 2009 and HELLO to 2010! This is my version of a recipe I had several years ago on New Year’s Eve in Paris. I won’t forget it. I don’t think you’ll forget this either!
Bonne Annee e Buon Appetitio!

Holiday Biscotti
Biscotti is a perfect cookie to have on hand for those last minute gifts. They are easy to make and keep for weeks. This version reminds me of a cookie my Grandma Lucy used to make because of the wonderful anise flavor.
These are full of almonds and dried cranberries and while they have that biscotti (toast) quality, they are not nearly as hard as some of the commercial brands.
Their comforting smell will fill the house while they are baking. It’s done in one batch and they bake slowly, so you’ll have plenty of time to do other things.
Buon Natale and Buon Appetito!

Crab and Mascarpone in Phyllo packages with Lemon Beurre Blanc Sauce:
New Year’s Eve is all about endings and beginnings. I just have to celebrate both with some kind of crab meat! I would call this dish visually inspiring and richly indulgent, which makes it the perfect thing to serve for an evening of reflection and toasting with good friends. It has a wonderful mix of textures, buttery goodness, and the tartness of the lemon beurre blanc sets off the crab perfectly. This and a good glass of Prosecco or Veuve is all you need!
Buon Appetito!
