Grilled Peaches & Angel Food Cake with Red-Wine Sauce
1 cup fruity red wine, such as Merlot or Shiraz
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons Triple Sec or other orange-flavored liqueur
2 tablespoons brandy
1-2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
6 ripe but firm medium peaches, peeled and halved

Directions
1. Combine wine and orange juice in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in Triple Sec (or other orange liqueur), brandy and 1 tablespoon sugar. Simmer until the sugar dissolves and flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in lemon juice. Taste and stir in remaining sugar if needed for a pleasantly sweet but not cloying sauce.
3. Preheat grill to medium. Oil the grill rack (see Tip, below).
4. Brush peaches lightly with 2 tablespoons of the wine sauce, reserving the rest. Transfer the peaches and cake slices to the grill. Grill the cake over indirect heat or the coolest part of the grill until lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side. Grill the peaches over direct heat until softened and browned in spots, 3 to 5 minutes per side. In the last minute of grilling, brush the peaches with 2 tablespoons more of the wine sauce.

Vietnamese Coffee Sundaes with Crushed Peanut Brittle
Ingredients
1 cup(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) sugar
1/2 cup(s) water
1 cup(s) unsalted roasted peanuts
1/2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
1 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
3/4 cup(s) sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoon(s) instant coffee mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons of hot water

In a medium bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk with the dissolved instant coffee. In another medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar at high speed until softly whipped.
Scoop the ice cream into 4 bowls and drizzle with the milky coffee. Sprinkle with the crushed peanut brittle and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with the reserved pieces of peanut brittle and serve at once.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp
Ingredients
For filling
1 1/4 pounds fresh rhubarb, stalks cut crosswise into 1-inch slices (4 cups)
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries (10 ounces)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons tapioca
For topping
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup whole milk
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the filling: In a bowl, stir together rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, and tapioca and let stand 1 hour at room temperature, stirring occasionally, so the tapioca can soften. Pour mixture into a 9-inch glass pie plate.
For the topping: In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or a fork, then stir in milk. (Topping will be crumbly, with some clumps).
Crumble topping over rhubarb mixture, then put pie plate on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake crisp until fruit is bubbling and top is lightly browned, about 55 minutes. Serve warm, with ice cream

Cherry Pie
Ingredients
4 cups cherries (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), washed
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 frozen 9-inch pie crusts
2 tablespoons salted butter, cut into bits
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Together, you and your child can stem and pit the cherries.
Measure out the sugar, cornstarch, and almond extract, then ask your child to add these to the cherries and gently stir together.
Let one pie crust thaw for 10 minutes, then have your helper prick the bottom of it all over with a fork. Bake this crust for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove the other crust from the freezer and have your child pick off the fluted rim; this will be your top crust. Let it thaw for 10 minutes. Then your helper can cut a few 1-inch vent holes, using a butter knife or cookie cutter.
When the bottom crust has cooled, pour in the filling and dot with butter. Let your sous-chef carefully invert the top crust, still in the pan, onto the filling and lift the pan off. Place the pie on a foil-covered baking sheet and bake until the filling bubbles and the crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes. After 30 minutes, check to see if the crust is getting too brown; if it is, cover pie with an aluminum-foil tent. Let cool about 15 minutes before serving.

Frozen Berries with Hot White Chocolate Sauce
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups mixed berries (such as blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and red currants)
2 oz white chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
Directions
To freeze the berries, line a rimmed baking sheet with baking parchment or waxed paper and arrange the berries in a single layer. When they are frozen, transfer to small freezer bags. They will last for 1 month and are also good in smoothies.
Take the berries out of the freezer and divide between two bowls. Allow them to defrost slightly at room temperature, for about 10 minutes.
Put the chocolate and cream in a microwaveable bowl and cook for 10 seconds, stir, and repeat heating and stirring until chocolate has just melted (it will take 4 to 5 blasts) and you have a smooth sauce.
Alternatively put the cream and chocolate in a small heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir continuously until the chocolate has just melted.
Pour the hot sauce immediately over the berries and serve at once.
