Basic Beef Stew

Posted by PanNan  

Precise cooking time. It works and we were pressed for time. This is as basic as it could be and turned out flavorful. A straightforward, accurate recipe. We didnt change anything. Other reviewers might want to extend cooking time for the beef... — Polar Bear Jan 2, 2005

Old Bay Seasoning

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by DiB's  

This recipe saved the day for me. I cant get Old Bay Seasoning in Germany and had lots of leftover seafood in the fridge to use. It added just the right amount of oomph to the chowder. Thank you so much for sharing ! — Polar Bear Dec 28, 2004

Seafood clam chowder

This recipe is amazing. We have tried other seafood recipes calling for a long list of seafood ingredients, but this one produces exactly the same flavor using only the following seafood - crab, baby clams and shrimps. Living in Germany where we... — Polar Bear Dec 28, 2004

Lamb Shanks With Madeira and Olive Sauce

Posted by Latchy  

This recipe appears to be a modern adaptation of an Iberian recipe - quite a good modernization of the original. To make it spicier, use a Spanish spicy chorizo or if you cant find one, a cabanossi. I also added peppercorns and a bay leaf like... — Polar Bear Dec 24, 2004

Autumn Minestrone

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

For the same reason as Roosie stated in her review, the ingredients of this recipe are all good, but this Moosewood/Mollie Katzen recipe tastes bland. One needs to add 2 cups chicken or beef broth. When we did this, at first we didnt want to... — Polar Bear Dec 4, 2004

Perfect !!! I have tasted many Chinese restaurant copycat recipes for braised beef, but this one has the perfect mix of Chinese wine and anise. I wouldnt change a thing even the coriander (cilantro). When using beef chunks instead of pork chops,... — Polar Bear Nov 24, 2004

Rice Soup with Shrimp and Egg

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Lorac  

This is a hearty winter soup and makes a wonderful meal for those who are sick. It is important to remember to remove the ginger because as we found out, had we left the ginger in the casserole, its taste would have overpowered the spinach and... — Polar Bear Oct 20, 2004

Uncle Bill's Green Split Pea With Hambone Soup

(6 people found this helpful) Posted by William (Uncle Bill) Anatooskin  

This is such an easy recipe for cold weather that doesnt have tomatoes unlike most cold weather soups. But I agree with the other reviewer that 12 cups of water was way too much water. 8-10 cups is better. Thanks for sharing Uncle Bill ! — Polar Bear Oct 16, 2004

Beef & Bean Macaroni

This is a very easy recipe and a very good weekday one-meal recipe. We prefer doing this with fresh tomatoes, tomato sauce, and a few tablespoons of ketchup rather than stewed tomatoes. We added zucchini. Your problem with this recipe is how you... — Polar Bear Sep 26, 2004
