Tenderflake Pie Crusts

Posted by Chef Dee  

This is absolutely the BEST pie crust ever. I have been making it ever since I discovered it here on Zaar about four years ago. It is the only pie crust recipe that I use at Thanksgiving with my Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie. Two... — Cucina Casalingo Nov 15, 2009

Best Ever Banana Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

Posted by Rhonda *J*  

Easy to make and very tasty. The cake isn't overly sweet and most ingredients are most likely in your pantry. I always freeze bananas when they get a little too dark for eating. I thawed 4 bananas (equaled 1 1/2 cups) and used them. Worked... — Cucina Casalingo Nov 1, 2009

Oven Fried Eggplant (Aubergine)

Posted by James Craig  

So many great things were said about this recipe I had to try it! I'm not keen on eggplant, but I know it's healthy and available at the road side farm stands in the summer. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. The outside was... — Cucina Casalingo Aug 15, 2009

Key Lime Sorbet

Posted by KathyP53  

This was quite nice but a bit too sweet for my taste. I used bottled Key lime juice that seemed to have a slight bitterness to it. Next time I will use 1/3 sugar and fresh lime and see if that makes a difference. This makes a refreshing summer... — Cucina Casalingo Aug 15, 2009

Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie

Posted by CoffeeMom  

This pie is very good but the texture was a bit custard-y. Next time I'll use only 2 eggs and see how that works out. It is a very pretty pie and a summer speciality. — Cucina Casalingo Jul 13, 2009

Polpette Alla Napoletana (Neapolitan Meatballs)

Posted by s'kat  

This is a wonderful recipe. The meatballs are moist and tender. Made exactly as posted but w/o pine nuts. Word of caution: when sauteing the meatballs, let them cook thoroughly on one side and then turn them with tenderness. Because they are so... — Cucina Casalingo Jul 13, 2009

Guacamole

Posted by Sue L  

This is one terrific recipe! I love that it uses cumin because most recipes call for cilantro and it's not always on hand. I placed all the ingredients in a large zip lock bag and squished it. The texture was great, part creamy and some lumps.... — Cucina Casalingo Mar 31, 2009

Linda's Special Potato Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Linda's Busy Kitchen  

Very much enjoyed this potato salad recipe. We all have our preferences, so I left out the green peppers (just not a fan of them) but it was still delicious! Don't forget to salt the water when cooking the potatoes and also let it hang out in... — Cucina Casalingo Jan 24, 2009

Eggplant Mykonos

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

I really should change the name to "Squash Mykonos" because that's what I used instead of eggplant. I was searching for an eggplant recipe and thought this looked delicious. I didn't have enough eggplant so I substituted yellow squash. Everything... — Cucina Casalingo Nov 18, 2008

Parsley Pesto (Useful for Many Dishes!)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Zurie  

This is a good versatile pesto. I had lots of parsley in my herb garden that I needed to use before it was killed off this winter, so I tried this recipe. I strayed from the original recipe just a little because of how I think I'll use it. I did... — Cucina Casalingo Nov 18, 2008

Made for a special brunch and everyone loved it. Cooking the eggs over low heat is one of the tricks to keeping the light, tender and moist. This is a keeper! — Cucina Casalingo Oct 19, 2008

Edmonds Ginger Crunch

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chelsea^_^  

OMG This is soooo good! It is also very easy to prepare. We are big fans of ginger and Penseys ginger is absolutely the best. I became acquainted with golden syrup in West Africa about 40+ years ago - fond memories of the stuff. Anyway, it was... — Cucina Casalingo Oct 19, 2008

Cheese Loaf

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Derf  

This bread has a very nice flavor and was easy to prepare. I did, however, find it a little heavy and dry. I have discovered that if it is thinly sliced and toasted it makes a lovely breakfast item. — Cucina Casalingo Oct 19, 2008

Five Cup Fruit Salad

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by truebrit  

This is truly fantastic! I wish the name was more descriptive - like "Awesome Ambrosia". This is very easy to prepare ahead of time. I blended the juice and sour cream first, then added the drained fruit and refrigerated it overnight. I measured... — Cucina Casalingo Oct 19, 2008
