The French version of grilled cheese, known as a croque monsieur, is simply the ultimate. To double the decadence, I build a second layer of ham and cheese on the first. Slathered with a mustard-infused bechamel and griddled until golden brown, these triangular bites are made for sharing.

After work, I used to hang out at the Eastern European coffee shop Veselka, which is known as much as an after-hours chef hangout as it is for its incredible pierogi. Some people eat pierogi as a main course, but I prefer them as a hearty appetizer. I add goat cheese to the potato filling for extra creaminess, and a dash of truffle oil to the creme fraiche for a luxe finish. My mom says this is her favorite dish of all my creations, and that's saying something.

After a recent trip to Southeast Asia, I came back bursting with inspiration and ideas. This super-easy chicken satay incorporates some of the tricks I learned abroad, including a peanut sauce that requires only a handful of ingredients but is nonetheless chock-full of flavor. You can use any cut of boneless chicken you prefer--strips of boneless skinless breasts or thighs work as well as the tenders.

These are as voluptuous and sexy as burgers get. They have a personalized ground meat mix with three kinds of beef, plus bacon and extra beef fat. You don't need a meat grinder, as the partially frozen meat is chopped in a food processor. Searing the burgers in a smoking hot pan gives them that flavorful crust that you just don't get from grilling over coals. And a specially made, "fancy" sauce like this one is never a bad idea.

Soaking bread in custard makes the best French toast, so it made perfect sense to transform everyone's favorite breakfast into a communal confection. There are zillions of bread pudding recipes, but this one has a perfect proportion of bread to custard, and the pumpkin maple syrup makes this a damn near perfect autumn brunch dish.

When people say that they don't like eggplant, I tell them they just haven't tried my eggplant. Eggplant chunks are first roasted for a lightly caramelized flavor, then finished in a wok with a myriad of Asian flavors. Dark purple globe eggplant works well here, but the narrow Japanese variety is my preference because it is sweeter.

When it comes to dining, I love a good surprise. These layered butterscotch desserts feature a hidden chocolate base and an unexpected coconut-infused whipped cream topping. Make sure you instruct your guests to really dig down into the bottom of their glasses, as the best bites include all three elements. The butterscotch layer is thickened with egg yolks only, so be patient when cooking, as it takes time for the mixture to reach the thickening point.

I order chicken wings anytime I see them on a menu, and this recipe will make you realize just how incredible they can be. After a lot of trial and error, when I finally got the rub right I felt like I had unlocked a magic puzzle. There are a lot of ingredients in the rub, but they provide a perfect mix of sugar and spice, and the bourbon-spiked sauce coats the wings in yet another layer of bold flavor. If you prefer the grill to the oven, grill the wings over medium indirect heat (about 400 degrees F) for about 40 minutes, until they are almost done, before adding the sauce.

Here it is -- my favorite pasta dish. Ever. I learned to make it with torchio, an unusual funnel-shaped Venetian pasta, but any tube-shaped kind will do. The dish isn't saucy, so you can really taste the individual flavors, and the merguez, with its spicy harissa flavor, has an unexpected kick. Both parsley and mint provide fresh accents.
