Shrimp Etouffee

Posted by Denise!  

Wow! This was absolutely divine, Denise. Thanks so much for posting!! I didn't have any beer, so used a bit of wine and it was great. I also used a little more cayenne (we like it spicy!). It looks really pretty if you reserve a bit of the chopped... — Tracy K Apr 23, 2006

Lemon Braised Artichokes over Pasta

Posted by kiwidutch  

Great recipe! I used frozen artichoke hearts from Trader Joes and it was so easy and good (I didn't thaw first, just mixed the frozen hearts with the braising ingredients and baked from frozen). I think I will cut the amount of oil to 2 Tbsp,... — Tracy K Dec 19, 2005

Corned Beef With Mustard Glaze

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by joan in CNY  

Wonderful recipe! This was the first time I'd made corned beef, and it was absolutely delicious. I really like how baking it in the oven with the glaze made the top all nice and crusty. I realized at the last minute that I had no honey, so I just... — Tracy K Mar 18, 2005

Turkey Broth

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by PaulaG  

Wonderful flavor, and very economical as turkey wings are quite cheap. I used 4 lbs as that was the smallest package I could find. A bit of trouble hacking the wings into two (my grocer does not custom-cut poultry due to contamination concerns)... — Tracy K Dec 5, 2004

Mean Chef's Turkey Gravy

Posted by ~Bekah~  

Fantastic! I had nearly four cups of drippings from my turkey, so I doubled the recipe and made a whole lot of gravy, LOL. Absolutely delicious, and a great way to make sure there is plenty of gravy... I served turkey dinner to 18 people and still... — Tracy K Dec 5, 2004

Szechwan Peanut Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by riffraff  

Wonderful! Mean is not kidding about it being a "full-flavored" sauce... a little goes a long way, but it is sooooo delicious. The only change I made was to add about a tsp of ground roasted chiles with the vinegar, as I did not have serrano rice... — Tracy K Sep 27, 2004

Mai Tais

Posted by Ginny Sue  

Great tropical drink! I found it just a bit strong for our taste so I added additional pineapple and orange juice, but it was delicious. Thanks for posting! — Tracy K Sep 16, 2004

Satay Ayam (Chicken Satay)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by spatchcock  

Outstanding!! I followed the recipe exactly as written, and the chicken was very flavorful and soooo tender! The molasses gives it such a nice sweetness, balanced by the tartness of the lime and soy sauce. I had already made Mean Chef's peanut... — Tracy K Sep 16, 2004

Mean Guy's General Tso's Chicken

Posted by Kirstin in the Couv  

Wow, this is an outstanding recipe. I didn't have the chili pods so I used a bit of ground chiles in soya oil, it was delicious! I love it as is but may try it without the breading and frying stage next time in order to make it a wee bit... — Tracy K Aug 4, 2004

Camembert Chicken

Posted by Sassy Syrah  

Lovely, lovely, lovely! This is a very rich dish, but oh so good. I served it with a simple side of sauteed spinach with lemon and garlic. I used brie cheese and substituted pecans for the macadamia nuts. — Tracy K Jul 21, 2004

Smashed Tomato and Olive Salad

Posted by Sassy Syrah  

Really, really simple and yummy! I used about two handfuls of fresh basil. I think I liked the leftovers tossed with hot linguini even more than the original. Thanks for posting! — Tracy K Jul 21, 2004

Spicy Cold Soba Noodles

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by spatchcock  

Delicious!! I did cut down the sesame oil by about half (trying to watch my fat intake) and didn't miss it at all. I added some chopped red pepper for color, as well as some sesame seeds for crunch. I found that the amount of sauce was enough for... — Tracy K May 1, 2004

Chiffonade of Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Hazelnuts

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by P4  

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I've made this twice now and LOVED it both times. So easy, and so quick! The first time, I used pecans instead of hazelnuts, as I had them on hand, and the second time I made it as directed. I actually preferred... — Tracy K Mar 30, 2004

Beautiful, bubbly, and delicious! This is a very belated review, I made them for my New Year's Eve party and they were a big hit! I topped them off with a fresh cranberry in each glass, it was quite festive! Thanks for the recipe! — Tracy K Mar 25, 2004

Short Ribs Braised in Coffee Ancho Chile Sauce

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by PaulaG  

This is a keeper! Wonderful, complex flavor with just the right amount of heat. Love the depth from the coffee. Short ribs were outrageously expensive at my grocer, so I used a chuck roast instead. Served with tortillas, cilantro-lime rice, and... — Tracy K Jan 26, 2004

Cranberry Almond Bundt Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Pets'R'us  

Fantastic. I don't consider myself a baker, but I followed the directions to the letter and the cake turned out beautifully. I chose to use half vanilla and half almond extract to bump up the almond flavor just a tad, and it was divine. It barely... — Tracy K Dec 2, 2003

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Oh my, are these ever good!! Just the right combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I used natural peanut butter and Ghirardelli double chocolate chips, and found I needed to add about 1/4 tsp of salt (natural peanut butter has less salt than... — Tracy K Jul 17, 2003
