Japanese Style Pork BBQ - Pork Yakiniku

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Rinshinomori  

Wow! We just had this for dinner and even though we only marinaded it for 1.5 hours, it was wonderful--so flavorful. We made it w/o the miso and used sherry and sugar instead of mirin (we were deficient in both miso and mirin). I pan fried it in a... — Santa Ynez Valley Chef Jul 1, 2008

The BEST Strawberry Smoothie EVER!

Posted by stephL  

Thanks for the recipe. I've made it with the 1/4 cup of sugar and also with about 2 Tbs of Honey. I must confess I found I liked the Honey better. The sugar is just a tad too sweet for me. Otherwise — delightful (also I should say I've only made... — Santa Ynez Valley Chef May 26, 2008

Wow, these are great! I just made them for my wife after we discovered we were out of white rum, nixing Long Island Iced Teas. These were a wonderful alternative. I used almost 1 oz more of lime juice than called for and also used cran-raspberry... — Santa Ynez Valley Chef Mar 31, 2008

Good Eats Roast Turkey

Posted by Gay Gilmore  

Okay, what can I say that hasn't already been said? This was the best turkey I have ever eaten. Ever. E-V-E-R. The brine was easy enough to make, although since I was up until 2:00 in the morning waiting for it to chill I think next year (oh,... — Santa Ynez Valley Chef Nov 25, 2007

Cornbread, Sausage, Apple, & Pecan Stuffing

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Lizzie-Babette  

Wonderful! We cooked it in a separate dish, and used a little bit of the liquid from the bottom of the Turkey roaster to moisten it up a bit. Actually, we did that with one tin, and in the other we used 28 oz of chicken broth (each tin was a whole... — Santa Ynez Valley Chef Nov 25, 2007

Corn Spoon Bread

Posted by Rosie in Michigan  

I was going to enter this recipe but I found this one. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas my Grandmother from Kentucky made this, as did my mother, and now my wife and I do. We follow this recipe almost exactly, except that we don't add the whole... — Santa Ynez Valley Chef Nov 17, 2007

The Classic French Bistro Sandwich - Croque Monsieur

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by French Tart  

I've made this a couple of times for my wife and daughters and we absolutely love it! My 2 1/2 year old doesn't usually eat at dinner time, but she will eat this sandwich. We have used a mix of 4 cheeses (Parmesan, Asiago, Fontina, and provolone)... — Santa Ynez Valley Chef Nov 15, 2007

MMMMMmmmm. So, so good. I used a (very) premium tequila (100% de Agave Reposado) and Grand Marnier and they couldn't have been better! Thanks for the recipe! — Santa Ynez Valley Chef Jun 12, 2007

Japanese Gyoza

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Ridgely  

I didn't make the gyoza, just the sauce for store bought gyoza. I brought it to a dinner party and it was the smash hit of the evening. I have never gotten so many complements on any thing else I've made. There was some good food there too, but it... — Santa Ynez Valley Chef Feb 17, 2007
