Allie delights everyone with steak with wine sauce and potato gratin. Today's "Have You Tried?" ingredient is hazelnuts. Their distinct, rich flavor and fantastic crunch are perfect for Sarah's scallops with hazelnut brown butter, served with crisp lemon green beans on the side. In "Cooking for Two," Margot prepares lamb chops with mint sauce and mushrooms. Emma bakes festive and delicious frosted chocolate buttermilk cupcakes. When company comes, it's time for some "Quick Bites." Lucinda prepares two fast, no-cook recipes: smoked salmon on thick-cut potato chips and herbed bocconcini.
