Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the parsley and thyme. Season with a little salt and pepper. Set aside. Cut the phyllo sheets in half, so you will have 32 (not-quite) squares. Cover the phyllo with plastic wrap and a damp towel while working so it does not dry out. Place one sheet of phyllo on your work surface. Drizzle a little butter all over the sheet. Drizzle with a little butter, and gently brush the surface, especially the edges of the phyllo. Note that the entire sheet does not need to be completely covered with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top in the opposite direction to make a cross. Drizzle with the melted butter as before. Place two more sheets in an X pattern on top of the previous cross pattern and continue with the melted butter. Place a piece of chicken in the center and brush with a bit of the melted butter. Loosen the sheets of phyllo with a flat metal spatula or knife. Using your fingers, carefully lift and gather the phyllo (as if making a pouch) encasing the chicken in a bundle with a loose flowing frilly top. Pinch the "gather" together and hold for 5 seconds. This will hold the package closed. Place each purse on a sheet pan and repeat with the remaining chicken. Refrigerate until ready to bake. This can be made in advance to this point. Note: When placing the chicken on the sheet pans, leave enough space in between them so that they will become crispy on the sides when baked. Place the beggar's purses in a preheated 375-degree oven. Bake for about 20 minutes (or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees). Do not overcook. To serve the chicken, ladle about 1 1/2 to 2 ounces of Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce on a plate. Place a ring of julienne vegetables on top of the sauce to form a nest and place the beggar's purse in the center. Makes 4 to 8 servings, depending if you give one or two purses per serving. Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce: 1 whole garlic bulb 2 cups chicken stock 2 cups heavy whipping cream 2 lemons, zested finely, and segmented Salt and pepper Peel all of the garlic cloves, leave them whole, and place them in a medium saucepan with the chicken stock. Place over a medium flame and reduce until almost all of the liquid is evaporated. Add the cream and lemon zest and reduce until a quarter of the cream is evaporated. Strain if desired. Add the lemon segments; season with salt and pepper. This can be made 2 days in advance. Makes about 2 cups. Julienne Vegetables: 1 cup baby carrots, or 4 whole carrots, peeled 2 medium zucchini 2 medium yellow squash Olive oil Unsalted butter Salt and pepper Slice the vegetables lengthwise into thin planks. Stack a few of the planks on top of each other like a deck of cards and slice them into thin long strips. Keep the carrots separate from the other vegetables. Heat a large saute pan or wok over high heat for a minute or so. Add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add a large handful of carrots, 1 tablespoon butter and season with salt and pepper. Keeping the heat on high, keep the carrots moving in the pan for about 1 minute. Add a small handful of zucchini and a small handful of the yellow squash. Saute the veggies on high heat for another 2 minutes or so, keeping them moving in the pan. Do not overcook them; they should be a little bit crunchy. Remove to a serving platter, cover and keep warm. Note: If making for a large crowd, saute in small batches. Over-crowding the pan will cause the vegetables to cook longer, cooling down the pan and possibly making the vegetables too soft. One reaction: This dish is a visual knockout.

In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, cayenne, cumin, coriander, curry, cinnamon and allspice. Set aside. If the fennel came with the long fronds, cut them off and remove for garnish. Slice the fennel into 1 inch bias cut strips. Season the chicken pieces on both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, skin side down, in batches. Sear until skin is nice and brown, try not to shake the pan too much. Remove chicken to a baking dish or oven-to-table casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the spice mixture on the chicken, rubbing it into the pieces. Add the fennel, onion, carrots and parsnips to the pan. It should still have olive oil in it plus some fat that the chicken pieces rendered. If necessary, add a drop of olive oil. Sauté and scrape up all of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the remaining spice mixture. Cook for 3 minutes, until nice and shiny. Surround the chicken with the vegetables. Add chicken broth to come halfway up on the chicken. Bake covered for 1 hour. Makes 6 to 8 servings Serve with Moroccan Couscous. Note: For Moroccan Couscous, prepare a 10 ounce box of couscous as per directions on box. Soak a cup of golden raisins in rum (or orange juice) while the chicken cooks. When ready to serve, toss the couscous with the drained raisins, 1 cup of chopped green pitted olives and 1/2 cup chopped almonds.

You can also make them in miniature tart pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Cut out a 10 inch circle of parchment paper and place it into a 10 inch tart pan with removable bottom or into 8 (4 inch) mini tart pans with removable bottoms. Set aside. Place the pecans on a parchment lined baking sheet. Toast the pecans for 10 minutes, until fragrant. Check towards the end to make sure they are not burning, shake the pan occasionally. Remove the pecans from the oven and transfer them to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Process until finely ground. Add the melted margarine or butter and process until moist clumps form. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan or pans. You may need to let it cool for a few minutes until it can be touched. Bake until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch, 28 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely. Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Place into a medium bowl. Bring the cream to a simmer in a medium sized heavy saucepan over low heat. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate.

Set aside. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the margarine or butter. Remove from heat and add the sugar, peanut butter and graham cracker crumbs. Stir to combine. Spread into prepared pan. Place a piece of waxed paper or parchment paper over the peanut butter and use a kid-sized rolling pin or your palm to pat evenly into the pan. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the margarine and chocolate chips. Stir to combine. Pour over the peanut butter layer. Tilt the pan to spread the chocolate into a thin layer that evenly coats the peanut butter. Try not to manipulate the chocolate too much. Refrigerate 1/2 hour. Cut into diamond shapes. If your jelly roll pan sides are in the way, use the parchment paper to slide the whole cake out of the pan and onto a flat surface to cut on. Hold the long side of the cake in front of you, using a warm knife make horizontal cut lines every 1 inch. Starting at the bottom left corner make diagonal cuts every 1 1/2 inches to form diamond shapes.

Beat together cake mix, oil and eggs until on low until everything is moistened. Continue beating on medium-high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until batter is thick and smooth. Do not over beat. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool in the pans for ten minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on racks. Make the ganache: Place the chocolate in a large bowl. In a heavy saucepan, heat the cream and butter until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil. Pour the hot cream/butter mixture over the chocolate and let stand for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate. Whisk until smooth and let the ganache cool for 20-25 minutes or until tepid. Putting it together: Line the bottom of a 9x2-inch round springform pan with a circle of waxed paper. Cut the cake layers into 1-inch cubes and place all the cake cubes in a large bowl. Pour 1 1/2 cups of the ganache over the cake cubes and mix until the cake/ganache mixture becomes the consistency of fudge and there are no dry bits of cake left. (I do this by hand with a large spoon. For those with a stand-alone electric mixer, you can use the large bowl and the paddle attachment to mix everything up.) Scrape the mixture into the springform pan and press down, smoothing the top as you go. Cover the surface of the cake with plastic wrap and freeze for an hour or until firm enough to unmold. While the cake is freezing, cover the surface of the remaining ganache with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature. Once the cake is firm enough, remove from freezer and run a thin-bladed knife around the edge of the cake. Remove sides of the springform pan and plastic wrap and invert onto serving plate. Remove bottom of springform pan. Surround cake with strips of waxed paper to keep the border of the serving plate clean while you frost and decorate. Reserve 1/4 cup of ganache for dipping the strawberries (or other garnish). Using a small offset spatula, cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining ganache. (Ganache will have thickened some while sitting at room temperature.) Dip the strawberries (or other garnish) into the reserved ganache so that they are half-covered in chocolate. You may have to gently reheat the reserved ganache to thin a little bit before dipping. Place the coated garnish evenly around the top edge of the frosted cake. Refrigerate the cake up until 1 hour before serving. Serve, enjoy, and bask in the delight of your fellow diners.

Rinse, drain and chill. In a saucepan, combine sugar, broth, soy sauce, vinegar and oil. Bring to a boil; lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Chill. To serve, place somen on a large platter. Garnish with remaining ingredients. Serve with broth mixture. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Note 1: kamaboko is Japanese steamed fish cake. Canned tuna or salmon or some other cooked fish could easily be substituted here. Note 2: char siu is Chinese sweet roasted pork. Any nicely flavoured roast pork or chicken could be used. Note 3: Tamagoyaki is the Japanese name for thinly fried egg sheet. I think a very simple scrambled egg would be suitable here as well. Recipe follows: Coat an 8-inch skillet with salad oil; heat. Mix the egg with salt and sugar; spread over the bottom of the pan to make a thin, even layer. Cook over medium heat until firm. Do not brown. Cool.

Lay the crab flat on its stomach. Make a cut just below the eyes and, using scissors, remove the face. Life the shell to remove the spongy gills and innards. Turn the crab over and cut off the tail flap or "apron." What's left is edible. Rinse and pat dry. Proceed with recipe. Soak the crabs in the milk for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the flour, paprika, salt and pepper in a bag and shake well. Remove crabs from the milk and pat dry with a paper towel. Shake the crabs one at a time in the bag of seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 crabs until crispy and golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining butter and crabs. Place 2 crabs on each of 2 dinner plates and dollop each with 1-1/2 teaspoons of Green Goddess Mayo (see below). GREEN GODDESS MAYO: 3/4 cup mayonnaise 2 scallions (3 inches of green left on), thinly sliced 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon OR 2 teaspoons dried tarragon 2 teaspoons snipped fresh chives 2 anchovy fillets, minced (optional) Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate, covered, for 1 to 2 hours before serving. Description: "Soft shells soaked in milk before cooking make them extra crispy." Source: "The Virginian-Pilot Sunday Parade Magazine, March 21, 2004" Yield: "4 each" NOTES : Soaking the crabs in milk prior to sauteing helps to crisp them. And though I generally prefer unsalted butter as an ingredient, in this recipe I use salted to cook the crabs, because food browns better in salted butter. If serving the crabs on buns, spread a tablespoon of Green Goddess Mayo on each bun.
