Sisi Carroll

This beautiful side dish looks complicated but is very easy to assemble. If you don't have time to make your own ricotta, buy high-quality fresh ricotta.

The ricotta needs to chill for about two hours. Consider making it the night before so the ricotta is ready to go when you assemble the carpaccio.

Tiny egg-shaped candies tucked into the filling are a cute addition to this delicious dessert.

In this pretty soup, sweet fresh peas are enhanced with a bit of mint.

What makes this entrée so flavorful? Tucking garlic slices into the lamb and covering the meat with a puree made of garlic, Dijon mustard, rosemary, and lemon.
