Anne's Apple Crumble (Apple Crisp) ****
This delicious but very simple apple crumble recipe (known as "apple crisp" in the U.S.) will serve four people. It fits right into the "comfort food" category.

Anne's Orange-and-Chocolate dessert cake *****
Orange and chocolate are very compatible flavours. This is definitely a too-easy-to-be-true dessert. Garnish with super-thin slices of orange and curls of chocolate, if you wish.

Anne's Peter Pan 'Poison' Green Dessert *****
A (delicious) guilty pleasure made a little less so in my new interpretation -- and one of my very favourite desserts, too.

Anne's raspberry Jello dessert Cake *****
An impressive treat for guests. Surprisingly easy, low-sugar and low-fat, too. What more could you ask of a recipe?

A difficult procedure, but once mastered...Ooo-la-la!

Classic Crêpes Suzette *****
Many years ago, I watched a Paris-born friend of ours (named Aline) make crêpes Suzette from scratch. Since then, I've never been able to stomach the results of a short-cut recipe. This one is the real thing.

Karen Barnaby's Peach Mango Melba Mousse (from Pete's Tofu) *****
A mousse is usually made with a custard base, but Pete's dessert tofu does the job instead. The preparation time is greatly shortened, making this a fast and easy dessert.

Malted Chocolate puddings ****
This extremely rich pudding tastes like a malted milk ball and is always greatly appreciated by both children and adults. Chocolate and cocoa powder fortified by espresso and vanilla provide intense chocolate flavour, while the malted milk gives it a creaminess despite the low-fat milk. For classic chocolate pudding, simply omit the malted milk powder. You can prepare the pudding up to three days ahead.

Williams-Sonoma Goat Cheese Crêpes with Fig Jam *****
Refrigerating the batter helps produce exceptionally tender crêpes because, as the batter chills, the flour expands and absorbs the liquid. You can cook the crêpes in advance, then fill and broil them just before serving. The lightly spiced fig jam is a wonderful complement to the creamy goat cheese filling. You can also substitute quince jelly.

Spring-form Pan (Garber equipment 'profile') *****
I love spring-form pans; I use them all the time. And not just for cheesecakes, but for tarts, pies with crumb crusts, and desserts.
