We couldn't make this list without including a French dessert! This isn't one you can whip up in an instant though, as it requires concentration and precision (don't let it leak!), but if you're looking for a wholesome way to spend a weekend afternoon, try making this lemon soufflé!
If it's a success, your family will be thankful and you'll know you have the potential to apply for Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in Paris!
