Classic Crème Caramel Recipe

The addition of eggs and a generous dose of vanilla transforms even lowfat milk into a silken dessert. Since it can chill indefinitely in the fridge before serving, this recipe lets you spend time with guests at the table instead of in the kitchen.

Barcelona Hot Chocolate

Barcelona Hot Chocolate Recipe

The Ferrari of hot chocolates, this sophisticated European version includes bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and a strip of orange rind, making a perfect after-dinner drink. Be sure to remove from heat when a string of tiny bubbles forms around the edge of the pan, because boiling might cause the milk to curdle.

Braised Pork with Lemon and Sage Recipe

This recipe features an Italian technique of slowly cooking a whole pork roast in milk, and the result is succulent meat with a nutty, intensely flavorful sauce. Because it braises in a slow cooker for hours with virtually no attention, it's an ideal make-ahead dish.

Golden Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

Don't fret if you have a crowd to feed. A no-cook roux makes this luxuriously creamy mac and cheese a snap to fix: just stir boiled macaroni into a mixture of flour, milk, and cheese then stick it in the oven–voilà! Dinner for eight.

Creamy Wild-Rice Soup with Smoked Turkey Recipe

Pieces of smoked turkey breast give this dish an alluring aroma that complements the nutty flavor of wild rice. A milk-and-flour slurry added towards the end of cooking gives the soup a voluptuous consistency.
