Another one bites the (almond) crust! Instead of the usual breadcrumbs, these Almond-crusted Shrimp Balls with Mango Sauce have gone nutty. It's filled soft, meaty shrimp with hints of ginger. Shrimp-ly delish!

Rock and roll! In this Pork Roulade in Cilantro-Parsley and Mint Pesto, the tender pork loin is covered in a flavorful pesto of parsley, mint, and almonds - then baked to perfection. Mmm.

Breakfast in bed Wake up and smell the coffee and Danish Puff. The outside is flaky, frosted, and sprinkled with almond slivers. The inside is light, soft, and buttery bread that is great, too, when dipped in coffee or hot choco.

'Cause you're so smoothie... Long, hot afternoons deserve a tall glass of Almond Berry Smoothie, ice blended strawberries, yogurt, almond, and almond essence - and! - no sugar!

Macaron for Mademoiselle This pretty Macaron Aux Framboises (Raspberry Macaroon) is fiiled with almond meal (ground sweet almonds) and raspberry jam. Serve with tea or coffee for an authentic Parisian snack.
