Excellent on Paula Deen's Crab Cakes. Cooking time is sitting time for flavors to meld! As a note: This is also my spread for Turkey Burgers I just cut the buttermilk down to 1 Tbsp. My husband loves it!...
Culinary notes: Most eggplants produce a bitter tasting alkaloid. A method for removing this unwanted flavor is to sprinkle the slices with salt and let them rest in a colander for an hour. Afterwards....
I adore fennel, and this is one of my favorite ways to express my adoration! :) Cooking time is marinating time, and preparation time is approximate. This comes from the Victory Garden cookbook.
This is such a simple, quick meal. It's a very British way to serve a baked potato! Baked beans here are different than in the US so if you can get a British brand, the recipe would be more authentic....
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! I first tasted this wonderful dish at a potluck dinner after our homecoming service at church. I was fortunate to find the person who had brought this salad. I never knew grapes could...
An Asian flavored marinade for steak. Would go well with other meats. This recipe makes enough for 3 pounds of meat. The marinade can be made up to 3 days in advance of use and must be discarded after...
This is my mom's recipe. She has made this for every Holiday since I can remember. This is very easy and my family thinks it's very good! Note: This can be microwaved for 15 minutes. I prefer to use Italian...
More times than I can count, I've served fruit trays with this dip as an appetizer. Great for a simple dessert, but also for breakfast, brunch or snack.
Here is a delicious side dish that goes great with steak. The shallots and garlic start to caramelize adding a depth to the dish. These green beans certainly are not your typical beans. If you really want...
My Mother made this salad for every Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners. I remember looking forward to this the most, as a kid, as I loved the marshmallows and the fruit. My Mom made a big bowl of this...
Use on chicken, lamb, or firm fish like salmon or halibut. (do not marinate fish for more than 30 minutes, or it will start to "cook" and turn out tough.)
This is a wonderful jello salad to serve with turkey. The whipped cream topping is not too sweet. This is a Thanksgiving tradition in our family since the 1960s.
If you don't have ring molds you can either order them online, or do what I did and save soup cans. Remove both ends and use a bottle brush to clean well-my husband used a file to get rid of the sharp...
The PERFECT complement for Standing Rib Roast (chef Anne Willan). This is so delicious, and taste as good with the meat as with the potatoes. PS: I like to use more (bottled) horseradish.
This is a recipe I want to try that I found on the lid to my plain yogurt this morning. Hope others find it intriguing as well but just wanted to post it so I have it in my collection ;).
Extremely popular party drink throughout Georgian and early Victorian times. This version comes from Mary Norwak's extensive library. (The Jane Austen Cookbook, Maggie Black & Deirdre Le Faye)
Big, bold tastes combined. And the beer helps taking the sting out of chopping the onions :) Use a good, full-flavored ale or Belgian beer for this one.
Potatoes made tasty and simple. This is good for 2 people to share, so use the recipe multiplier for more servings. Makes a healthier substitute for french fries, and a great side dish for a hearty meal...
This is the Potato Salad I had grown up with...nothing compares to it. So after getting frustrated at my mom's lack of measuring, I was finally able to get the right measurements for my Mom's Classic (Creamy)...
This sauce tastes exactly like Winger's wing sauce. Sweet and delicious. I found this recipe on copykat.com I haven't tried it yet but I love Winger's sauce so I'll be trying it soon. Winger's wing sauce...
A diet friendly sweet treat that I plan on making this week. This recipe is all about portion control. From TOH Healthy. Each strudel is about 100 calores.
Very cool and refreshing side dish, goes very well with spicy curries, naan bread and even grilled meat. This can be made upto a day in advance, cover and refrigerate and stir before serving.
This is a quick and easy recipe for honey butter spread. I made an elegant luncheon for one of my friends and needed a little something extra to add a special touch. She took one bite and instantly asked,...
This was the recipe included with my Williams-Sonoma mini tea cake pan. I haven't tried it yet, but wanted to post it on Zaar because I will inevitably lose the hard copy before I have a chance to make...
