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.

Next time you’re out of eggs and feel like baking, whip up a batch of these soft chocolate chip cookies. You can even snack on the dough with no worries!

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.

Several uses for that homemade yogurt, including creamy polenta, tender Greek-style chicken skewers, and cherry-berry fro-yo.

The June 2010 Daring Bakers challenge featured chocolate pavlovas or meringues topped with chocolate mascarpone mousse and a creme anglaise drizzle.

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.
