This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Seriously, what's more romantic than silky chocolate fondue? Dipping strawberries, pretzels, marshmallows - it's foolproof. A touch of kirsch brandy is the secret ingredient you might not have expected.

8 ounces milk chocolate
1/2 cup cream
2 tablespoons kirsch
fresh fruit, cake and biscuits for serving
Grate chocolate and put into fondue pot with cream.
Stir well and heat gently, stirring until chocolate is melted. Add kirsch and blend.
Serve with fresh fruit, cake and biscuits of your choice.
Variations: Omit kirsch and substitute with 1-2 tablespoons of one of the following liqueurs: tia maria, creme de cacao or grand marnier.
If the fondue is to be served to children, omit kirsch and, if liked, add a few drops peppermint, vanilla or orange essence.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
