Savoury Vegetable Cheesecake

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:56:24 -0400

or Hatred Death Murder Anti-Cheesecake by LoungieMu of the SomethingAwful forums. Okay, think of two things off the top of your head that you can cook with cream cheese. I bet that the first two things you think of are cheesecake. Let's face it, it's everywhere, and all-pervasive. There are even upscale restaurant chains that sell little else than these silly desserts. It fills me with rage. Its a cake, and its made of cheese. And it tastes - sweet? When I think cheese, I think of these delightfully savoury dishes that take advantage of herbs and great vegetables and delight you with a little richness, and a lot of flavor. I do not think of some spongy sweet filler vehicle for whatever syrupy dollop I might put on top. They should call it cream-colored blob cake or something, so that the issue is put to rest. So, to write my death ballad in the tune of cheesecake, here is my savoury cheesecake. -- posted by Chef #869878

Crock Pot Apple Pie

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:05:18 -0400

Probably more cobbler than pie, but whatever it is.....it is AMAZING. I love making this when we have company, because it makes the house smell wonderful. It is a great dessert at the Holidays, because it doesn't take up oven space when you have so many other things to cook. It is great with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. -- posted by LizP

Peaches and Cream Tart

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:26:21 -0400

This recipe from Food and Drink magazine is a perfect summer dessert as it doesn't require any baking. It is very simple to prepare, using a prepared graham crumb crust and canned peaches. You can vary the flavour by using a chocolate crumb crust. If fresh peaches are in season, use 3 fresh peaches which have been peeled and pitted. Chilling time is cooking time. -- posted by Irmgard

This is an awesome recipe we made up. It is tried and true. I got this recipe from piemaking in Canada, where we went out blueberry picking. These should be fresh picked wild berries. I think you probably substitute Saskatoon berries, as well. Yummy! -- posted by Biscoti

Easy Southern Peach Pie

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:15:47 -0400

This is a wonderful peach pie! I like mine without the raspberry sauce topping, as I do not care for raspberries. However, I have made the sauce for company and it has always gone over to great comments and recipe requests. From Pillsbury: Fresh peaches never tasted better! An old-fashioned favorite is even better with a lusciously easy berry sauce. -- posted by Humble Bee

Potato, Leek and Carrot Pie

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:27:38 -0400

Substantially adapted from Chris Walton's - a reader's - recipe in a recent issue of 'Woman's Day'. I don't like hot and spicy foods, but if hot and spicy is your thing, please don't hesitate to make the appropriate additions to meet your taste preferences: cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, whatever... I've listed thyme, rosemary and sage as optional herbs to be added, influenced by a recent purchase of a rosemary and sage blend of herbs in a mini grinder - which is the most wonderfully flavoursome blend - which I've been using in just about every recipe of late. Fortunately, I don't often make desserts or cakes! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Mini-Pudding Pie Cups (Low-Cal)

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 23:56:16 -0400

This is so easy and so satisfying! If you use Jello's individual sugar-free pudding snacks (and I recommend that you do), this pie is vegetarian-friendly ( despite the gelatin based product for which they are famous.) Either way, it's definately diet-friendly. This is one indulgence you can give in to nightly! -- posted by Katryna

Caramel Apple Crisp

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:48:26 -0400

Recipe from Pillsbury. Baking apples are best. I would use something like Granny Smith, Cortlands, Jonathans, Empires, Yellow Delicious, Honey Crisp, Ida Reds or Winesap (Winesap are my favorite and are usually found late season during October). I would avoid such apples as Red Delicious or Macintosh. They are great for eating but fall apart when cooked. And one of my secrets is to make a blend of baking apples, so the flavors are more well rounded and less one dimensional. Some apples, such as the Granny Smith, have that nice bite to them but are short on sweetness other apples have and aren't that great by themselves. -- posted by Sue L

Pumpkin Tarts

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:20:07 -0400

you can use canned pumpkin if you like the traditional thick texture and sweetness of store-bought pumpkin pie. I like using fresh cooked pumpkin as it's not overly sweet and much lighter and fluffier that way, almost like a mousse. you can freeze cooked pumpkin for many months so you can still make this outside of autumn, just be sure to drain it well when you thaw it. can also be made into a single-crust pie, just increase the cooking time to about an hour. new way to play with this: make just the filling in custard cups or muffin tins and serve with ice cream and butterscotch! -- posted by spiritussancto

Upstairs Apple Pie

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:34:08 -0500

I have been slowly modifying this recipe since it was passed on to me by my grandmother. It is baked inside a paper bag at 425°, so an accurate oven temperature is essential (the combustion temperature of paper is Fahrenheit-451, hence the book title). The result is that during the baking process, your downstairs may smell of burning paper, but upstairs will smell like warm apple pie. -- posted by Lafcadio

Impossible Pie

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 00:28:01 -0500

This is so simple, and really fun for kids to make. It comes from one of my favourite cookbooks, Classic Country Cooking by Lady Flo Bjelke-Peterson. In cooking, the flour settles to form a crust, the coconut rises to form a topping, and the centre becomes an egg custard filling. It's just great! -- posted by Sara 76

Summer Memories: Jumbleberry Crumble With Shortbread Topping

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:32:50 -0400

This was a quick throw it together Sunday Lunch pudding idea - raid the freezer for all the nearly used bags of frozen summer fruits, such as cherries, raspberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, bilberries (blueberries), blackberries and strawberries. Fling them all into an ovenproof gratin dish; whizz up a shortbread crumble topping - and Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt, as we say down our way!!!! We loved it, the combination of fruits was wonderful - and it is a great idea for using up whatever fruits you have lurking in your freezer. I am sure that fresh fruit would also be suitable. We like our fruits to be on the tart side - so pleased add sugar to taste! Serve the crumble with hot custard, cold custard, cream, ice cream, crème fraiche or whatever you fancy! -- posted by French Tart

Its great! The Cake itself has a wonderful crunchy yet doughy crust and a tasty filling. Its easy to make and quite quick, too.

June's Rhubarb Pie

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:28:55 -0400

This is my MIL's recipe for rhubarb pie - I just got this recipe today, after putting out the call to my husband's siblings for it. You see, I'd made rhubarb pie from 'Zaar for DH, and well, it just wasn't the same as his Mom's! So I eagerly looked over the recipe today, and it is slightly different than the one I'd found and made here. I really don't think it's SO different... but my husband thinks so. So, I'm putting it up here for safekeeping, and to share the story with a whole bunch of you who probably understand the profound effect of MIL recipes! I'm sure my MIL is smiling down on us right now, with that evil grin she always had... I AM leaving out the typos that I'm not so sure weren't intentional on the part of my BIL (bake at 450 for 15 minutes, then bake at 350 for 4-5 minutes!) -- posted by Katzen

Tarte Aux Abricots - Glazed French Apricot Tart With Almonds

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:12:06 -0400

This is my favourite type of French fruit tart, even more so than apple tart! Our local Patisserie makes a wonderful Tarte aux Abricots, but they are quite expensive and VERY large, much too big for the two of us when we have no B and B guests! So, I have been tinkering in the kitchen again, and have come up with this recipe. You MUST use fresh apricots for this - tinned ones are too soft and too sweet. Plus, I love the slightly tart flavour that the fresh apricots lend to the flavours of this tart. The ground almonds are scattered over the base of the short crust pastry case to stop it becoming soggy during cooking; they also provide a complimentary flavour to the apricots. A classic French tart that will make a delightful ending to any special meal or for afternoon tea. Serve this tart with fresh whipped cream or crème fraiche. -- posted by French Tart

Old-Fashioned Baked Egg Custard Tart With Nutmeg

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 03:12:41 -0400

A taste of my childhood, my grandmother made the most amazing Egg Custard, as we used to call it! In the absence of lard, or if you are vegetarian, use a white vegetable cooking fat, but NOT margarine, as the white fat gives the pastry its crispness. Serve this tart at room temperature with cream or just "naked"! You can buy these delectable little tarts in most British bakeries, but they always taste better when they have been made at home. This old-fashioned custard tart needs a thick, wobbly filling, so I've used a round tin with sloping sides and a rim, which gives a good depth. The nutmeg is very important to the flavour, so always use it freshly grated and grate it on to a piece of foil, which helps when you have to sprinkle it on quickly when it goes into the oven. -- posted by French Tart

Rosie's Sweet Potato Pies

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:03:17 -0400

Found this in the Times-Picayune. It was reposted in response to a request who lost his copy of it from Hurricane Katrina's flooding. Too many treat the sweet potato the same as pumpkin when making pies. It has a different more subtle flavor that benefits from judicious use of only nutmeg to let its own glorious flavor shine through. Only difference between this & our own recipe is we roast rather than boil our sweet potatoes. Posted as printed in The Times-Picayune. NOTE - this can be mixed aheaad of time & stored in the fridge to be poured into prepared crusts when ready to bake (a great thing when the oven is full!). -- posted by Buster's friend

Spiced Autumn Walnut and Golden Syrup Tart-Pie

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:58:40 -0400

This sticky and lightly spiced walnut tart is absolutely perfect for any autumn gathering, especially Thanksgiving, Halloween or Bonfire Night. It combines walnuts together with warm spices and a hint of orange, which are all bound together in a buttery syrup filling.......if you cannot get hold of golden syrup, you can use honey instead. Serve this pie with a dollop of cream, crème fraiche or yoghurt. -- posted by French Tart

Vegan Key Lime Pie Filling

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:14:47 -0500

This is a tad of a spinoff of a recipe on the side of a Nasoya Silken Creations box. You can skip the vanilla and cut the confectioners sugar a little bit if you use Silken Creations Vanilla instead. I didn't include a recipe for a pie crust because I like it crustless! And for ultimate laziness, you can even mix it right in the pie pan! There are lots of good vegan pie crust recipes on here, or you can buy a premade one. Note that cook time does not include cooling time. -- posted by the80srule

Ruth Reichl's Sweet Potato Pie

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:44:18 -0500

A simple and delicious pie from Ruth Reichl's memoir, "Comfort Me with Apples". It's great as is and is also a very flexible recipe that you can adjust to your preference. You can substitute brown sugar for white, omit the rum or use bourbon instead, or increase the vanilla or spices. Recipe can be doubled for a deep-dish pie. (The cooking time will be nearly doubled as well.) -- posted by blucoat

Pumpkin Pie

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:49:10 -0500

This pie is delicious, and no one will EVER miss the eggs. You can use this filling with your favorite home made pie crust, or store bought. I made this for Thanksgiving 2009 using this crust: Recipe #404587 Because I didn't have clove, I used 1/2 tsp cinnamon PLUS from Pampered Chef, which has a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. I also used candied pecans for the top. From: Joy of Vegan Baking -- posted by Kozmic Blues

My mother got this recipe off Food Network and the crust is my grandmother's own flaky recipe. Absolutely delicious, never disappoints. I use this with the lattice top when I really want to impress.

Famous Fresh Blueberry Pie

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:47:59 -0500

I live in Florida and it is difficult to make a non-runny blueberry pie due to the humidity, but this recipe is perfect. I got this recipe through trial and error of 5 different published recipes. The filling is dense enough so that little loose liquid is present, but you still feel like you are biting into whole berries when you eat it. This fixed my problem of getting a pool of liquid in the bottom of my pie shell. I recommend using only fresh blueberries. Use a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Regarding the crust, the store-bought frozen crusts did not work properly for me. They either didn't bake on the bottom or resulted in an overflow of pie liquid into the bottom of my oven. I recommend the Pillsbury brand rolled pie crust dough found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store (by the biscuits/crescent rolls). These bake nicely, are easy to work with, and have an appropriate amount of moisture. Of greatest inspiration for the filling was from http://www.pickyourown.org/blueberrypie.php -- posted by MerryD

Most Awesome Apple Pie in the Whole World

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:32:08 -0500

This is my great-grandmother's apple pie recipe. It has a delicious crumble topping and just enough spice. The pie is better (obviously) with a home-made bottom crust. I use the "most incredible no fail pie crust" recipe also available on recipezaar. It's really not that hard and you can make it a week ahead of time and roll it out when you need it. Prep time does not include making pie crust. -- posted by lauren losefast
