This lively Asian-style salad is terrific on its own or teamed with roast chicken, roast lamb or broiled shrimp.

Alongside this colorful main course, offer simple side dishes like white rice mixed with black beans, and steamed chunks of zucchini. Holiday cookies from the bakery top off the meal nicely.

This indulgent Cognac-spiked dessert fondue is perfect for a romantic evening by the fire.

The tart-sweet flavor of this sorbet is particularly refreshing after a rich dinner.

End the Christmas celebration with this spectacular dessert: a dense fudge-like cake covered with a luscious white chocolate and tangerine mousse.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less, but requires additional unattended time.
