With its crunchy croutons, crisp leafy greens, and tangy dressing, the Caesar can be considered the king of dinner salads. In this grown up variation, subtle changes enhance the flavor and appearance of the dish. Radishes act as a pop of pretty color, shaved instead of grated Parmesan adds depth to each biteful, and fresh anchovies are deliciously salty. The anchovies are not necessary, so if the little fish is too overpowering simply omit from the salad.
Memorial Day is so close, I can taste the burgers already. Though I'm a big fan of basic burgers, I find that guests are even more impressed when I mix the usual ground meat with surprising new flavors. So I've rounded up 10 great burger recipes that add a little something special to the usual beef, lamb, turkey, tofu, and other patties. To get your mouth watering, just click "start" below.

The President's daughter, Jenna Bush, was recently married in a lavish but down-to-earth wedding at her family's ranch in Texas. Few details have been released about the ceremony, reception, and menu but rumor has it the cake was created by the Ultimate Cheesecake Bakery. The tres leches/dulce de leche cake had whipped cream frosting and fresh floral arrangements. By the time this photo was taken, the top tier of the confection had started to fall. While it's sad the top was tilting, it's probably something the happy couple will laugh about for years to come. I'm a huge fan of dulce de leche and can only imagine how delicious the cake must have tasted. Thoughts?
When I saw this recipe for chocolate bruschetta, I had one of those why didn't I think of that? moments. Leave it to the folks at MyRecipes.com to come up with something so deliciously clever!
It takes one of my favorite appetizers — bruschetta — and turns it into a sweet, gooey treat. The chocolate-topped bread is seasoned with coarse sea salt and orange zest elevating the classic French breakfast — pain au chocolat — to a gourmet level.
Served with a glass of aged port, this would make an excellent finish to any dinner party. For the easy recipe, please read more
France Taking the Happy Out of Happy Hour. Non Booze, Merci.
The French may soon be saying au revoir to happy hours and bottle service in the clubs. The government body in charge of reducing drug and alcohol addiction is proposing such measures, in an attempt to spread its effort to stop binge drinking among those who try to get liquored up on the cheap, and those who are looking to go all out by buying bottles of hard liquor and the accompanying VIP treatment.
Rémoulade
A classic condiment used in French and Cajun cooking, rémoulade is a tangy, mayonnaise-based sauce made with Dijon mustard and capers. Other ingredients, including anchovies and tarragon, are often added as twists on the traditional recipe. Rémoulade sauce frequently accompanies seafood dishes such as pan-fried fish and salmon croquettes.
Though traditional rémoulade is a creamy yellow shade, Louisiana-style rémoulade is usually red in color, thanks to the addition of ketchup, paprika, or cayenne pepper. Cajun rémoulade also includes other additions like parsley, green onions, and Worcestershire sauce, and it's most commonly used as the key ingredient in shrimp rémoulade.
