Nutella is easy to find and usually shares the shelf with peanut butter in the supermarket. I used Frangelico as the hazelnut liqueur and added a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and a few chocolate shavings to please the eye. I'll do this one again. I gave it five stars because it was easy, fast and tasted like it took all day.

Crispy, oven-fried chips with a cheesy exterior-what's not to like? If you have little hands roaming through the kitchen, definitely get them involved in assembling these-and you can bet there will be no arguments at dinner over finishing their veggies. Most commercially-made dry breadcrumbs taste like sawdust, so I like to use Japanese breadcrumbs, called panko, that are usually found alongside other packaged Asian foods in the supermarket. You can coat the zucchini with beaten egg white (instead of milk) before breading. It's a little more trouble, perhaps, but definitely worth trying.

Zesty Romesco is a favorite condiment in Spanish cuisine, but remains relatively unknown here. (Go figure.) Make the sauce in advance, whenever it's convenient, and grill the shellfish just before serving. While the grill is still hot, toast some thick slices of good artisan bread to drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Fast food never tasted so good!
