Bone-In Ham on the Barbecue With Honey-Butter Glaze

Posted by Big Man's BBQ Queen  

I was looking for a Bone in Ham recipe for the BBQ as my full size oven has officially gone to the next world. This recipe worked very well. The honey-butter glaze is quite nice, however next time I would only make half the recipe as there was a... — Chef Regina V. Smith Nov 17, 2009

Tenderloin of Beef With Blue Cheese and Herb Crust

Posted by Stinkerbell  

5 stars. Simple and elegant like Stinkerbell says. I used beef medallions that were quite small so my cooking time was a little less than indicated in the recipe. I served this with French Tart's Twice Baked Mini Potato Dauphinoise # 203253.... — Chef Regina V. Smith Nov 4, 2009

Oreo Ice Cream Tartufo

Posted by Ashley U  

This were OK but they where lacking something. There needs to be a "surprise' in the middle, I think (perhaps a small ball of raspberry sorbet inside the bigger chocolate ball). Having said that, they are incredibly easy to make. — Chef Regina V. Smith Oct 17, 2009

Kittencal's Crispy Potato and Green Onion Pancakes (Latkes)

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Fabulous. I was looking for an hors d'oeuvre base on which to serve some Smoked Arctic Char. I had to substitute chick pea four for the flour as one of my guests has gluten issues. I honestly think the chick pea flour substitution improved them... — Chef Regina V. Smith Oct 11, 2009

Green Bean Salad

Posted by Mille® ™  

This was an easy salad which fit the bill for a Friday night steak barbecue with friends. I did add a 1/2 tsp. of dijon mustard to the dressing. I also roughly chopped some smoked almonds and added them to the salad just prior to serving. I... — Chef Regina V. Smith Sep 5, 2009

Spinach Supreme Casserole

Posted by gailanng  

This is a tasty side dish. I prepared this is 4 separate ramekins, eating 2 right away and freezing the other two for later. I increased the amount of nutmeg because I like more of a nutmeg flavour. This dish freezes well for future use. This... — Chef Regina V. Smith Jul 26, 2009

Kittencal's Milk Soaked Grilled Corn in Husks... Delicious!

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KITTENCAL  

This was devine. It is a bit of extra work, but well worth it. You could get creative with the butter/herb/cheese combinations here. Kitchen shears come in handy for cutting the husks from the cob prior to service. (I only got to eat one cob.... — Chef Regina V. Smith Jul 26, 2009

Carrot Cake Ice Cream

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by LUv 2 BaKE  

Excellent ice cream! This recipe is a must for anyone who loves carrot cake. It was a little bit fussy and time consuming so either start early on the day you intend to serve it or prepare the first 5 steps the night before, refrigerate and then... — Chef Regina V. Smith Jul 20, 2009

Five stars for taste and ease of preparation. I used raspberry gelatin. This is a perfect jam for someone new to jam making or someone, like me, with no time to make jam the traditional way. I put mine in the freezer to enjoy in the winter time.... — Chef Regina V. Smith Jul 8, 2009

Strawberry Sour Cream Ice Cream

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by College Girl  

Ice cream for grown ups! This was quick and easy to prepare. I did increase the lemon juice by an extra 1/2 tsp. and next time I would also double the vodka (just because). The sour cream added a lovely tang. I will certainly be making this... — Chef Regina V. Smith Jul 5, 2009

Mixed Courgette and Cherry Tomato Clafouti With Cheese

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by French Tart  

I made this for a late Saturday evening meal. It was perfect. I agree with one of the other reviewers that the creme fraiche/sour cream seems to be the secret ingredient that makes the dish sing. I did add a few chopped fresh herbs that I had... — Chef Regina V. Smith Jun 29, 2009

Turkish Braised Lamb (Tas Kebap)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by UmmBinat  

This is a nice, thick mahogany coloured braise. I used a cubed lamb shoulder roast as I could not find any lamb stewing meat. I used chicken stock instead of water, as I thought it would impart a bit more flavour to the dish. I used ground... — Chef Regina V. Smith Mar 31, 2009

Stuffed Pork Loin Genoa Style

This was quite nice. I flattened my butterflied pork loin a bit more prior to stuffing by bashing it with a meat mallet. I cut back on the garlic in the herb cheese mixture as I thought 6 cloves would be a bit overpowering (considering that the... — Chef Regina V. Smith Mar 30, 2009
