Recipe: Radish and Fava Bean Tea Sandwiches
Details about the royal wedding menu remain hush-hush, though the New York Times reports that guests will be treated to a staggering spread of over 10,000 canapés instead of a sit-down meal. You can throw a majorly scaled-down toast to the new couple and make these dainty tea sandwiches from Andrea Lekberg of the Artist Baker in New Jersey. Get the recipe here.

Recipe: Shortcake Biscuits with Rosé-Poached Rhubarb
The secret ingredient in Claudia Fleming’s shortcakes? Hard-boiled egg yolks. “They provide richness and act as a tenderizer,” the JBF Award–winning pastry chef told us. Since the yolks have lost moisture during cooking, less gluten develops in the dough, which results in more tender shortcakes. Fleming sandwiches hers around rosé-poached rhubarb and strawberry–white chocolate cream. Get the recipe here.
Recipe: Goat Cheese Panna Cotta with Grand Marnier-Soaked Strawberries
If you’ve never made panna cotta, which is a low-maintenance but crowd-pleasing dessert, here’s a version from Hawaiian chef Alan Wong that will inspire you to whip out those ramekins and get to work. Chef Wong adds tangy chèvre to cut the creaminess, then brightens the dessert with Grand Marnier–soaked strawberries and a sprinkling of shiso, a Japanese member of the mint family. Feel free to play around with the accompaniments: goat’s milk caramel, fruit coulis, or wildflower honey would also be delicious.
