The recipes are thoughtfully organized and cover everything from romantic dinners for two to holiday feasts to children’s parties – and pretty much everything in between. Whatever your occasion, this book offers not one, but four (one for each season) menus to make it a success.

The next three recipes come from Patrick-Goudreau\'s newest book.

These fragrant and savory scones turn out a pretty orange color and are flecked with fresh rosemary. The olive-y notes from the olive oil are great, but canola oil can also be used instead.

Moroccan Couscous with Saffron

Alicia writes: \"I adore couscous, and this is a wonderful way to prepare it. Not only is it tasty, it looks gorgeous on a big serving plate as the centerpiece of a meal. You can complement it with a simple salad or let it be the beginning of a feast that includes soup, hummus, and veggies. This recipe serves six, but you can halve it or just make a big batch and keep leftovers in the fridge.\"

Alicia writes: \"When my friend Liz first taught me how to make this pizza, she used an organic, sourdough spelt crust, but really any whole grain crust will do. This pizza is perfect for dinner parties or just a cozy night at home.\"

Baby Bok Choy Drizzled with Ume Vinaigrette

Alicia writes: \"I\'ve highlighted the bok choy version of this dish because it\'s so pretty, but this same recipe made with cabbage and leeks is just as delicious and worthy of equal attention. Christopher and I absolutely lived off cabbage and leeks for years. I beg you to try both versions. There\'s something about the combination of the flaxseed oil, the sour of the vinegar, the freshness of the green and the seeds... Oh my God.\"

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Alicia writes: \"Back in the day, I was obsessed with Reese\'s Peanut Butter Cups. Now I make this healthier version and they are way better. In fact, I think they are the most ridiculously delicious things in the entire world. Look for graham crackers that are naturally sweetened or low in sugar (Health Valley makes a good one), and store the leftover crackers or crumbs in an airtight container for future use.\"
