The Most Wonderful Gingerbread Cookies

Posted by gingerkitten D  

Fabulous flavour and texture. I too added 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg. Eight minutes in the oven at 180 degrees C was just perfect for the thicker ones (almost half an inch thick!). Thank you! *Update: Used 1/2 cup white sugar with 1/2 cup molasses as... — RotiJala Nov 24, 2009

Cutout Cookie Decorator Icing

Posted by Suze K  

I didn't have corn syrup on hand; just added some lemon juice to one batch and some almond essence to another. Worked fine! Thanks. (I also didn't use butter for one batch — it turned out OK too.) — RotiJala Nov 23, 2009

Grandma's Christmas Sugar Cutout Cookies

Posted by mjwalter  

It works fine. I used grated lemon zest in addition to the vanilla. I also added a couple of tbs of ground almond to the last batch — it made it slightly less tender but tasty too. — RotiJala Nov 23, 2009

Halibut Creole

Posted by Shae  

I used a diced tomato and chopped parsley for the topping, plus some grated Gruyere cheese (as I don't like green pepper). 19 minutes in the oven at 190-200 degrees C was all it needed to get juicily flaky. Very tasty! Other half loved it, too. — RotiJala Nov 19, 2009

Nyonya Prawn/Shrimp

Posted by ladylynd  

Very tasty! Be careful to keep heat on medium or medium-low at the beginning to prevent burning. — RotiJala Nov 6, 2009

Nyonya Fried Rice

Posted by Brian H  

One cup of cooked rice is not enough to serve four. I'd increase it to 3 or 4 cups if I'm serving four diners. Also, I'd reduce the dark sauce to 1 tsp and instead add 1 tsp of veggie or chicken stock powder while frying the rice - to keep things... — RotiJala Nov 6, 2009

Satay Kuah Sauce (Spicy Peanut Sauce)

Posted by HappyBunny  

Definitely the real deal! If you like it sweeter and richer, add 60g of palm sugar. 'Roasted unsalted peanuts' is the mark of the real deal — don't trust recipes that use peanut butter for peanut sauce (to be eaten with satay). — RotiJala Oct 17, 2009

Indonesian Peanut Sauce

Posted by brianl  

It is excellent but, instead of peanut butter, please use roasted peanuts and crush them in a mortar with a pestle or, in a pinch, a plastic bag with the side of a wine bottle. It really makes a big difference in authenticity! — RotiJala Oct 17, 2009

Easy Dhal Soup

Posted by Super Wifey  

Top marks for ease in making and taste. I left out the coconut for less calories and subbed with a tablespoon of yoghurt - worked fine and thickened it a bit! Also reduced the tomato to 3 tbs and added spinach leaves and small cubes of potato and... — RotiJala Oct 15, 2009

Biscotti

Posted by Smiles3  

Use fewer eggs if you find the dough too wet to handle. I love this biscuit. It's called cantucci by the Italians. — RotiJala Aug 28, 2009

Biscotti All'arancia E Mandorle (Orange and Almond Biscotti)

Posted by Maureenie  

Cantucci is the Italian name for this biscuit (biscotti is a general word for biscuits) which has origins in Tuscany, my Italian friend tells me. You dip it in vino santo and eat it. Great idea, Sunshynetoo - re: making a whorl pattern with the... — RotiJala Aug 28, 2009

Moist Lemon Cake

Posted by Moshe  

I'm often on the lookout for a great lemon cake recipe. I'd reduce the sugar by a quarter as I don't like it so sweet. Besides, the frosting is already pretty sweet. ^_^ — RotiJala Apr 24, 2009

Quick Grapefruit Marmalade

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by FusionCat  

Six cups of water is too much. I find that one cup is enough if I add a cup or two of chopped apple or rhubarb. Then low-boiling for 1 hour 15 minutes is sufficient to soften the grapefruit rind, which, by the way, is delicious. I'd like to... — RotiJala Apr 2, 2009

Frikadeller (Danish Meatballs)

Posted by Ice Cool Kitty  

Sounds very good with the mashed potato. Reminds me of fish patties from my home country. Add some chopped chillies or cayenne pepper for some spiciness if you wish. Chopped herbs and pulverised fennel, cumin or coriander too. — RotiJala Apr 1, 2009

Simple Brioche

Posted by swirlycinnacakes  

The baking time is too long and 10 minutes at 400 F browns the top, sides and bottom too much. I'd suggest 6 minutes at 400 F and 20 minutes at 350 F. Also, add a bit of water to the 'egg paint' so that it's less icky thick. Overall, a lovely... — RotiJala Feb 26, 2009

Lemon Cake With Lemon Filling and Lemon Butter Frosting

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MWade  

Yes, the 'Lemon Cake' name is misleading. I added 4 tbs of fresh lemon juice and the grated rind of one lemon to the cake batter (a little less milk). I skipped the lemon filling and did only the frosting. A satisfying lemony kick all round. — RotiJala Feb 25, 2009

Mom's Meatloaf (German Falsche Hase)

This is pretty flavourful with a mix of minced pork and beef. Served it with caramelized onions, radish-tinged mash potato and saute'ed celery. My German other half ate quite a lot of it. — RotiJala Feb 8, 2009

No Need to Go to Buffalo Wings

I just wanna say how much I enjoy your naming of these delish-looking wings. Also, baking is certainly healthier than deep-frying. — RotiJala Feb 4, 2009
