Ciabatta has a crisp crust, a soft porous interior and is light to the touch. The thin crusty exterior forms an ideal base to house heartier fillings such as roast beef, ham or grilled chicken breasts; and its soft interior absorbs spreads and sauces, without getting soggy—ciabatta holds up nicely under pulled pork, chicken parmesan and even hamburgers. // alexandracooks.com

I was first introduced to this warm bowl of fresh rice noodles, bean sprouts, scallions, peanuts, chicken and slightly wilted romaine by a friend who described it as “a big bowl of goodness.” And that it is. This rad na thai shrimp is also very easy to prepare—the sauce only has four ingredients—and once all of the ingredients are prepped, the dish takes fewer than ten minutes to complete. // alexandracooks.com

If you have a deep-fryer at home, recreating these classic steak frites is quite simple; if you don't, the process of frying the potatoes will just be slightly more involved. I've supplied a recipe for a spicy aioli, which is delicious with frites. It yields more than enough for two servings of frites and will keep for weeks in the refrigerator. // alexandracooks.com

In this warm spinach salad, spinach is prepared in the classic Roman style with raisins, pine nuts and sautéed apples, but the recipe could be adjusted in any number of ways. For a nice winter side dish turn your favorite spinach salad into a warm wilted salad employing this method. It's delicious. // alexandracooks.com

This pumpkin panna cotta is light and not too sweet. It couldn't be easier to make and I'm happy to have found one more recipe to add to my seasonal dessert repertoire. Enjoy! // alexandracooks.com
