Lukshen Kugel (Sweet Noodle Pudding)

Posted by SheCooksToConquer

Medianoche Bread

(3 reviews) Posted by SheCooksToConquer  

You can't make real Cuban Medianoches without the proper bread. I got this from an incredible cookbook by "Three Guys from Miami," and adapted it a bit since I do all my bread baking with my Cuisinart. If you'd rather do it by hand,... MORE»

Martinique Chicken and Coconut Milk

Posted by SheCooksToConquer  

There's something about the combination of mushrooms and coconut milk that is really exciting. This is a mild, sweet dish that is great with plain white rice or noodles. It came from a West Indian cookbook I bought a friend more than 20 years ago. MORE»

Beef Roast With Crisps

Posted by SheCooksToConquer  

This recipe came from a Medieval Feasts cookbook I read years ago — yes, we had a medieval feast, and it was really interesting. The batter over the meat is almost "pre-Wellington," and the "Crisps" are the little bits of... MORE»

Shaker Fried Chicken

(2 reviews) Posted by SheCooksToConquer  

This is so simple. A pan-fried chicken and gravy recipe that goes great with a simple salad and mashed potatoes (to sop up all the creamy gravy). I love Shaker cooking, I think I got this recipe about 40 years ago at the Hancock Shaker Village. MORE»

Dutch Beef Stew With Beer and Dumplings

(3 reviews) Posted by SheCooksToConquer  

This is pretty darned close to the delicious stew I used to get in the Netherlands. The secret is using a very dark, very malty beer or ale. It's baked in the oven and then finished on the stove, so be sure to use a Dutch oven or pot that can be... MORE»

Apple Cider Beef Stew

Posted by SheCooksToConquer  

This is a great fall stew, with beef, apples, and potatoes. The addition of cloves and allspice give it a wonderful "Autumn" kick. Use the apples of your choice — I prefer Granny Smith because they hold together well in a stew and add a... MORE»

Pot-Browned Noodles With Beef and Leeks

Posted by SheCooksToConquer  

This is from an old Cuisinart "Pleasures of Coking" magazine (Dec. 1980) and is by Barbara Tropp (with some tweaking from Yours Truly). I've edited out a lot of the Cuisinart-specific steps, and just put in the basics. It seems long and... MORE»

A very easy skillet adaptation of a great comfort food — and with almost no clean-up since everything is in a single pan. This is yet another adaptation of a "My Great Recipes" card. The original recipe called for one cut-up chicken, I... MORE»

Pasta Foriana

Posted by SheCooksToConquer  

Shh. Don't tell anyone there's anchovies in this, they'll never know. This is a fabulous light pasta dish, made famous in Provincetown by two competing Italian restaurants. First, it was presented at Ciro & Sals, and then when Sal moved on and... MORE»

Cape Cod Chicken

Posted by SheCooksToConquer  

Another classic "My Great Recipes" with some minor tweaks. This can be prepared in the morning and popped into the oven when you get home. It's very easy to make and very yummy. Please use whole berry cranberry sauce, not the jelly. MORE»

Roast Pork With Onion Stuffing

(3 reviews) Posted by SheCooksToConquer  

This is a family favorite. I adapted it from "My Great Recipes." You won't believe how creamy and delicious the onion stuffing tastes. Fresh-ground nutmeg really makes it shine, but ready-made will do in a pinch! The pan dripping... MORE»
