Oat

These oat biscuits—similar to shortbread cookies—are wonderful with seasonal grapes and a good-quality triple-cr
me cheese. Triple-crème is a soft, creamy cow's-milk cheese (with at least 75 percent milk fat) that has a luscious, mild flavor. Because of its natural sweetness, it's perfect with dessert; Pierre Robert, Explorateur, Le Chevrot, or Chaource are all excellent choices.

Steve Silverman of South Burlington, Vermont, writes: "I consider myself more of a baker than a cook.

But now I'm known for my challahs, which I give as presents during the holidays."
