French Onion Soup

Any broth will do, although the classic version calls for a rich, beef stock. The caramelizing of the onions is key. Keep cooking & stirring them until they become a dark golden shade. Add a splash of broth if they are sticking and reduce the heat if necessary. It may take awhile but the deep sweetness comes out the longer the onions have to cook.

Gruyere Apple Salad

The nutty flavor of Gruyere cheese matches so nicely with toasted nuts and apples and the entire thing is tossed with a simple tangy-sweet dressing.
