Paprika-Parmesan Butter (Steak Butter)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Brenda.  

This is my "cooking to impress" recipe! It's great with steak but I had some kangaroo fillets last week. I marinaded them overnight in red wine, olive oil, garlic, sea salt, black pepper and finely chopped sage and thyme. Then I cooked them on... — Kookaburra Aug 15, 2008

Creamy Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by JustJanS  

I made this recipe on Jan's recommendation before it was posted here. The combination of flavours is inspired! This is one of the best recipes we've had from Zaar - it was THAT good! When I cooked it, Jan had only given me the 'bones' of the... — Kookaburra Nov 26, 2007

Michelle's French Mayonnaise in a Flash!

(6 people found this helpful) Posted by French Tart  

I'd run out of mayo and remembered seeing this recipe. I was doubtful that it would work, but thought I'd give it a go! What do you know? It DID work! I halved the recipe, and used the tall plastic tumbler that came with my hand blender set.... — Kookaburra Nov 2, 2007

Tim and Tracy's Chocolate Cake (Boiled)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by RonaNZ  

This is a fabulous chocolate cake. It was so easy to make and turned out moist and delicious. I DO agree it is not quite as chocolatey as you might wish but it does improve considerably in taste and texture for keeping. At the end of a week we... — Kookaburra Oct 30, 2007

P. F. Chang's Mongolian Beef

Posted by Tish  

Yum! We really, really enjoyed this! I did fiddle with the recipe a bit. For the sauce I used a good teaspoon of ginger, 1 tablespoon garlic, just over 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup brown sugar, a tablespoon of rice vinegar, a good... — Kookaburra Aug 28, 2007

Keema II

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by chia  

Some Korean students cooked Keema for me once and I was very impressed. In order to replicate that first experience, I used half the amount of ground beef (500g), and doubled the spices stipulated in this recipe. I also added 1 teaspoon of salt to... — Kookaburra Jun 14, 2007

Baked Fennel With Vermouth

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Xexe  

This went perfectly with Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops along with some baked tomatoes. I did find it needed quite a lot of seasoning to bring out the flavour and I doubled the garlic, but otherwise it was delicious. I sliced small heads of fennel in four,... — Kookaburra Jun 12, 2007

Turkish Tomatoes

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Latchy  

For those who are wondering, tasty cheese is an Australian term and refers to any well-flavoured or matured cheddar cheese, but I used parmesan as that's what I had on hand. I halved the recipe for a light Saturday night dinner for two. I don't... — Kookaburra May 26, 2007

Apple Strudel

(10 people found this helpful) Posted by truebrit  

I've tried many Apple Strudel recipes over the years and always been disappointed at the lack of taste. This was the exception! It's terrific! I used 4 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced. Because I like LOTS of flavour I tossed the slices... — Kookaburra May 18, 2007

Red Snapper with Mustard Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Peter Pan  

We really enjoyed this - and it's so easy to make! I barbecued the snapper fillets, then made the sauce, on the barbecue, in a foil baking dish. Superb! — Kookaburra May 13, 2007

Grilled Porterhouse Steak With Paprika-Parmesan Butter

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Brenda.  

I've made this several times now and it is a really fabulous recipe! It's great if you have the time and inclination to marinade the meat, but if you don't, just do the butter bit and you won't be sorry. This is one of those recipes that's more... — Kookaburra May 13, 2007

Warmer Kartoffelsalat (Hot Potato Salad)

Posted by truebrit  

We really enjoyed this served with Wiener Schnitzel. I was a bit cautious with the vinegar and only added 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar, but we both decided the extra 1/2 tablespoon would not have made it too vinegary. It was easy to make,... — Kookaburra May 13, 2007

German Rotkohl - Spiced Red Cabbage With Apples and Wine

Creamy Macaroni Casserole

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

This made a wonderfully creamy, light, but tasty macaroni cheese. It was easier to make, and had a better, lighter, texture than my usual method of combining cooked macaroni with a cheese sauce made with a butter and flour 'roux'. I made the dish... — Kookaburra Feb 8, 2007
