An oddity of a meal—whole chicken braised in milk with lemon zest, sage and cinnamon, with rice to absorb the curdled sauce. It may not sound appetizing, but the flavor and tenderness of the meat make it worth trying (and trying again!).

Peach butter is transformed into a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce for slathering on roasted chicken. I rounded out this Southern-inspired meal with braised collard greens and super-cheesy potatoes.

The July 2010 Daring Bakers challenge was a Swiss roll-lined ice cream bombe. I chose to go with an almond and summer fruit theme, making almond cake, boysenberry jam and caramel, and apricot and honey-almond ice creams.

Addictively sweet and spicy gingered almonds add crunch to silky-smooth honey-almond ice cream, and make a fantastic topping for salads to boot.

The May 2010 Daring Bakers challenge featured the croquembouche, a tower of cream puffs glued together with caramel or chocolate ganache. I filled my choux puffs with chocolate and vanilla praline pastry cream based on a Julia Child recipe.
