A decadent chocolate almond base with candied bits of almond praline mixed in, it’s an almond lovers paradise. Would it be wrong to say I want to go back to Bologna just to have another serving?...

Though we found this asparagus overly stringy, which I think was a result of the asparagus rather than us. Oh well. If you’re serving these potatoes with some form of meat like we did, sear your meat, and then saute the potatoes in the same pan with all the delicious drippings....

What a wonderful dish. You may think a lentil salad is nothing to get excited about. But you haven’t tried this lentil salad.
