Balsamic Bruschetta
i thought this was just an OK recipe. i tried a simpler bruschetta with tomato, olive oil and basil before and it seemed like less is more. this had so many ingredients, but there was no unified unique taste. i will stick to the simple version from now on.

Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprints
I read the tips on how to chill the dough beforehand and increasing the oven temp to 375* to prevent flattening. Well, they still turned flat on me! Oi! I'm disappointed but found out that a cookie recipe with too much grease tend to spread. Therefore, I will try again with less butter. Oh, and LESS SUGAR...maybe 1/2 cup! These were a little too sweet for my Asian tastebuds.

Creme Brulee
I fell in love with the creme brulee at the Le Village buffet in Paris Las Vegas, and any creme brulee recipe I try...I always hope to mimick it. This recipe--with some alterations from chefpeon--is good by its own virtue. It's very creamy & not too sweet. However, it's just too darn creamy and custard-like while I prefer a more solid flan-like texture and that's the only reason I gave it 4 stars. If you like creamy desserts, this is probably the one to try.
