This is the “Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie” recipe from Cooks Illustrated, and it is hands down the best one I've found. I have tried everything from the Joy of Cooking to the Bouchon Bakery cookbook, and I will keep going back to this one!

Summer Fruit Tart with Pastry Cream
This summer fruit tart has a a buttery, crisp crust filled with rich, lightly sweetened pastry cream topped with beautiful fresh fruit. So much better than a bland crust filled with whipped cream (which isn’t substantial enough for the sturdy crust) and tasteless unripe fruit. I recently had this rendition at a restaurant and had to rectify it! I made this at my brother and sister-in-law's house when visiting for their baby shower. The recipe is from Cook's Illustrated ("Classic Fresh Fruit Tart with Pastry Cream").

Strawberry Parfaits
These beautifully layered desserts were made for Easter, and then adapted for a 2 hour baking workshop that I ran with neighbors. In place of the mousseline cream, we used sweetened whipped cream. It wasn't as decadent, but it worked well in the time we had! Recipe from the Bouchon Bakery cookbook.

It's always fun to find the baby in the King Cake at Mardi Gras! I didn't have purple, green, and gold sprinkles this year, so I settled for blue, green and white. Recipe from NY Times Cooking.
