Add a bit of cinnamon and vanilla to spice things up, toss in a handful of gourmet marshmallows, and you're all set for a cozy afternoon. The hot cookbook of the season I Know How to Cook (a "bible" of French cooking since 1932 that's just been released in the US) has a divinely rich version of the Spanish treat that's a cinch to prepare.

INGREDIENTS:
* 1 ¾ ounces chocolate
* ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
* ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:In a small pan, melt the chocolate in 1 tbsp water. Add ¾ cup water. Simmer over very gentle heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, Add the vanilla and cinnamon. Whisk until foamy.

Instant Style: Try Textured Tights

This month, while promoting her new movie Did You Hear About the Morgans?, Sarah Jessica Parker added instant flair to her stylish dresses with textured tights. On CBS's The Early Show, she paired cris-cross ballerina stripes with a soft pink dress for a fun twist on a daytime look. Meanwhile, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Parker's diamond pattern fishnets served as a chic alternative to black opaque tights. To deftly match textured tights with printed dresses, stick to striped or geometric patterns in dark hues. Floral, multi-colored or more arty patterns are best paired with solid colored outfits.
