There's no better way to enjoy beautiful spring vegetables than on simple buttery puff pastry with all the accoutrements. We borrowed this recipe from Tom Aikens' cookbook, Fresh, so we'd have a platform for all this farmers market produce we've been Instagramming non-stop. Hey, what would you do if presented with a spring vegetable tart this aesthetically pleasing?

There's nothing like simple French food cooked in a tiny Paris kitchen, which is why we're loving cooking our way through Rachel Khoo's aptly named Little Paris Kitchen. Just because the French don't "do brunch" like we do doesn't mean a great weekend breakfast can't get a little fancy. Next up, Croque Madame Muffins.

I'm a big proponent of frozen puff pastry. It's not that I don't like the greasy film of flour that develops over my entire kitchen as I fold buttery layer over buttery layer twelve times (allowing ample time for it to rest, of course). No wait, it's that. Besides, the filling is where you want to focus your TLC.

Crisp on the outside, meltingly soft within, these hot little packages are delectable. They can be prepared several hours in advance, up to the stage where you cook them, and the pears can be poached a day ahead.

Filet of beef "en croute," better known as Beef Wellington, is a classic holiday dish. Since filet or tenderloin is generally a leaner cut than, say, a ribeye or a Porterhouse, it makes perfect sense to wrap it in something almost completely composed of butter: puff pastry, with a layer of sauteed mushrooms in between to keep things moist and flavorful.
