Lillet MarshmallowsRoland Bello

Why should kids have all the fun? A lovely way to keep the conversation going long after dessert, these soft, aromatic little confections are like Peeps for adults. Lillet perfumes the marshmallows with orange and honey notes and gives them a haunting buzz.

Cooks' notes:

•For best texture, make marshmallows on a dry day.
•Sugared marshmallows keep, layered between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container, in a dry place at cool room temperature 1 week.

Recipe notes

Smothered Italian Sausage

Salmon With Sizzled Nut Salsa

A savory-hot salsa made with mixed nuts (like the kind dubbed cocktail nuts meant for snacking) gives roast salmon a kaleidoscope of textures and flavors.

Our Favorite French Onion Soup
