If you're looking for something to make for Valentine's Day, this bucatini carbonara couldn't be simpler to throw together: cook bacon, reserve the fat, use the fat to cook leeks; boil pasta, toss with eggs, fresh lemon juice, grated parmesan, and a little bit of pasta cooking liquid. Toss it all together, add some fresh parsley, and serve with more parmesan and lots of pepper. That's it! // alexandracooks.com

This double chocolate cake is made with buttermilk (magic!), oil (as opposed to butter), lots of cocoa powder, and coffee, if you wish, which intensifies the chocolate flavor. Yum. // alexandracooks.com

This brown sugar shortbread is made with only three (or four) ingredients and requires nothing more than a wooden spoon and a bowl. It tastes like brown butter, salty and sweet, so much more than the sum of its parts, a shortbread loved as much by the big kids as the littles. // alexandracooks.com

Heavy cream, sugar, vanilla bean, egg yolks — it would have been a serious let down if these pots de creme hadn't been anything but spectacular, which they were, tasting like untorched crème brulée, but better, with the smoothest, most velvety texture, perfectly sweet, deeply satisfying in every which way. // alexandracooks.com
