Espresso Biscotti

Posted by Annacia  

We really enjoyed these---the orange zest really adds a special zing to these biscotti. My only change this time was to use walnuts which I think worked very well. Next time, I'm thinking a half-way dip in dark chocolate. Can't hurt, right?... — Chef Kate Oct 19, 2009

Moroccan Bread Stuffed With Meat

Posted by Nasseh  

Excellent! I did as told, using a combo of ap and whole wheat flour and brushed the bread packets with oil and sprinkled a bit of za'tar and sesame seeds on the bread. I also added some chopped tomato to the filling. Good stuff, Nasseh! — Chef Kate Oct 17, 2009

Maida Heatter's East 62nd Street Lemon Cake

Posted by JackieOhNo!  

What a wonderful cake--as good asI remembered! My mother made it in the 60's. I rediscovered the recipe in the Timesin 1970. It's a glorious pound cake and an adaptable recipe--this time I made a small bundt and 8 heart shaped muffin-sized... — Chef Kate Oct 15, 2009

Fuyu Bundt Cake

Posted by Engrossed  

So far, two tasters and the verdict is 6 stars!! We are the lucky recipients of a whole case of fuyu--so I immediately looked for a recipe and what a happy choice I made! I followed the directions precisely, only omitting the walnuts. I baked... — Chef Kate Oct 12, 2009

Potato Gnocchi With Parsley Sauce

Posted by Miss Emma  

This is very good gnocchi, tho rolling the individual pieces down the tines of a fork does make the gnocchi much more receptive to the sauce. I did not love the sauce — the capers were interesting but not all that satisfying in this context.... — Chef Kate Oct 6, 2009

Chickpea Stew With Spinach and Chorizo

Posted by Miss Emma  

A terrific stew! so good that 2 of us nearly cleaned out the pot. I used fresh rosemary and tomatoes from our garden, fresh baby spinach. I used one fat chorizo--about a half pound--and the only change I might make next time is to add more... — Chef Kate Oct 2, 2009

Basil Rice Soup – Minestra Di Riso E Basilico

Posted by Miss Emma  

I just had a second bowl---this is GOOD SOUP!! I followed the instructions, using (happily) all fresh local produce and herbs and jasmine rice. Grating the parmesan over the top really does take this soup over the top. Mille Grazie, Miss Emma!!!! — Chef Kate Sep 29, 2009

Savory Tomato & Bell Pepper Bread

Posted by Shelby Jo  

A delicious bad which tastes rich and satisfying but is actually really healthy. I used all veg and herbs from our garden, oven roasting some of our own tomatoes. Served as part of a buffet antipasto deal for a cocktail party and it disappeared... — Chef Kate Sep 27, 2009

Delicious! The pastry turns a lovely golden color; the fruit is soft but still with some texture;. This not overly sweet tart is a pefect summer dessert. I did mine with peaches and blueberries. I know it would be great with apples as well. — Chef Kate Aug 23, 2009

Classic Walnut Boule

Posted by wicked cook 46  

An excellent bread! I used instant yeast (a scant teaspoon); did most of the kneading in the kitchen aid; skipped the cornmeal as I proofed on parchment and then baked the bread on the parchment on stones; used a little half and half in the... — Chef Kate Jul 25, 2009

Walnut Oil

Posted by gailanng  

This is super! Infusing the walnut flavor into (in my case) canola oil makes a simply delicious, healthier and way less expensive version of pure walnut oil. This in a salad of watercress, bleu cheese, roasted beets--heaven! And it gave... — Chef Kate Jul 25, 2009

WOW! What a fabulous sauce! And so easy to make. We too have an overabundance of mint (and a fan of mint chocolate chip in the house) and this is SUCH a lovely way to use some--I made a batch last night and am making a double batch today to... — Chef Kate Jul 25, 2009

The ginger in the shortcake is brilliant! And I made this by hand and had no problems. I think this will be super with peaches as well--and peach season is just starting here. Thanks for a great twist on the classic! — Chef Kate Jul 11, 2009

Spiced Golden Raisins & Oranges

Made this for a lady who loves oranges and sweets and served it alongside grilled shrimp. She loved it. I thought it really good as a dessert with some plain Greek yogurt, the tartness and thick unctuousness of the yogurt a good foil for syrupy... — Chef Kate Jul 11, 2009

Mast-O Khiar (Persian Yogurt and Cucumber Dip)

I loved this. One taster was a bit put off by the raisins; another wished there had been less dill. But it all disappeared, everyone saying "what is that flavor?" since, without the rose leaves or bud, there was no hint as to the presence of... — Chef Kate Jul 11, 2009

Mozambique Prawns

Loved it! Did everything as instructed, except (there's always an "except" LOL) toned down the heat in the spice blend. I halved the recipe and the result was a perfect amount for the three of us at dinner. I shaped the rice in timbale molds,... — Chef Kate Jul 11, 2009
