Cranberry, Orange and Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted by Mirj  

I made this cookie for the holiday feast-day table at work. I used fresh cranberries, roughly chopped, with no problem. To gild the lily, I made a glaze with powdered sugar/milk/cointreau. These are a very strong 4 and 1/2 stars! — s'kat Dec 21, 2006

Ribollita - Giada De Laurentiis

Posted by Southern Lady  

This was an outstanding recipe that resulted in maximum flavour in minimal time. Make sure you use excellent quality stock (I used a roasted chicken)! Also, I was very hesitant to use an entire tablespoon of herbs de provence, so I only used... — s'kat Dec 10, 2006

Kung Pao Chicken

Posted by PanNan  

This was, as promised, an easy dish to whip up on a weeknight. For some reason, my husband and I opted not to have rice with this, and really regretted it- the sauce is lick-your-plate good. I used fresh ginger, slightly less sugar, and... — s'kat Sep 7, 2005

Stir-fried Spiced Cabbage (la-pai-ts'ai)

Posted by Leslie in Texas  

Simple and tasty, two of my favourite things. To provide contrast, I added toasted black sesame seeds; in place of the cayenne, I used a good dollop of garli-chili paste, and also omitted the salt. A quick drizzle of toasted sesame oil at the... — s'kat Aug 29, 2005

Thai Salad with Grilled Flank Steak

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Tracy K  

This was a very nice meal for this hot, humid, sticky summer. I'm still not quite certain if I used the correct ingredient for 'hot bean paste'... does hot bean marinade work? It smelled, ah, not so good, while the steaks were being grilled, but... — s'kat Aug 16, 2005

Peanut Butter - Dairy Free

(10 people found this helpful) Posted by Chelle_N  

This is far superior to any commercial brand of hydrogenated peanut butter (even good ol' Jiff!). The taste is pure and clean, transcendent peanutty goodness. After making this, and putting it in a sealed jar, turn it upside down on the counter... — s'kat Jan 15, 2005

$25 Pumpkin Pie

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Steve_G  

This is definately my new go-to pumpkin pie recipe. Good, mellow, full pumpkin flavour, nicely rounded out by the spices. I liked the fact that this had a creamier mouthfeel than the typical pie- thanks very much! — s'kat Nov 26, 2004

Macaroni and Cheese

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Julesong  

I found this recipe on Martha's website originally. Killer stuff. This is the perfect dish for using up those bits and scraps of cheese just hanging out in the fridge. My last rendition included extra sharp cheddar, pepperjack, gruyere, aged... — s'kat Nov 19, 2004

Honey Crackles

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Jangomango  

I made these as a Halloween treat for some neighbor's children. The big kids liked it just as much as the little ones, I'm happy to report. Great, simple recipe, watch out though, it makes a huge amount- I ended up with 54!! Thanks! — s'kat Nov 1, 2004

Pickled Jalapenos

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Miss Annie  

Not only did I have a personal bumper crop of peppers, but my husband brought home quite a large gift of peppers from another friend! It was jalapeno overload! Thankfully, this recipe took care of everything quite nicely. I now have 8 big jars... — s'kat Oct 6, 2004

Mean Chef's Buttermilk Scones

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by newspapergal  

These were excellent. The most wonderful Mistress Tracy K directed me towards these, when I was seeking an 'apple biscuit' for a party. I soaked about 5 oz. of dried, chopped apples in calvados, then added with the dry ingredients. Instead of... — s'kat Sep 16, 2004

Spicy Cucumbers

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by J e l i s a  

These are spicy, crisp, cool, and wonderful, all at once. I found it perfect with only 1/2 teaspoon of the sesame oil, but used all of the red pepper flakes! Definately going into heavy summer rotation for my 'dim sum' nights. Thanks! — s'kat Aug 30, 2004

Buttermilk Fried Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Gay Gilmore  

This was the first time I have ever attempted to make fried chicken. Like leannr, I used sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and was simply blown away by how explosively juicy they were. Just incredible. My crust wasn't quite up to par,... — s'kat Aug 4, 2004

ChocoChai Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by love4culinary  

These were scrumptious cookies, enhanced by the flavour of the chai spices- I used Oregon Chai's Spiced Original (http://www.worldpantry.com/oregonchai/ocframe.html). The only thing holding this back for me was the richness of the recipe. The... — s'kat Jul 28, 2004

Ahi Shoyu Poke with Limu/Onion

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Kirstin in the Couv  

This was a wonderful summery appetiser. I was a bit worried that the flavour of the fresh tuna would be lost beneath all of the ingredients, but my fears were groundless. The marinade perfectly augmented the taste and texture of the fish. I had... — s'kat Jul 12, 2004

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Truffles

I also made these for a Photo Club assignment. I quick-chilled them for about 15 minutes in the freezer, then placed in the refrigerator for an hour. These are very messy to make, but fun and easy. I served these at a party, leaving 6 stashed... — s'kat Jul 6, 2004

I recently had a dipping sauce-taste off on our new annual dim sum night. They were all fantastic, and this was no slouch. It seemed to take awhile for the flavours to come together, but once they did, I was hooked. The fresh ginger was a... — s'kat Jun 23, 2004

Cucumber Vinegar Sauce
