Faux Sour Cream (Tofu)

Tue, 22 Jun 2004 19:59:02 -0400

There's a couple recipes for tofu sour cream here on 'Zaar, but none quite like this one, so I figured I would post it. This is from the book, "How It All Vegan." It tastes surprisingly like sour cream... I mean, considering its tofu. I used basil vinegar and I think any flavored vinegar would probably be nice. -- posted by Roosie

Mc Donald's Special Burger Sauce ( Big Mac Sauce - Copycat )

Fri, 17 Sep 2004 19:59:52 -0400

This sauce is a clone of the Big Mac Sauce and comes from the book "Even More Top Secret Recipes" by Todd Wilbur. It tastes exactly like the real thing so if your a Big Mac lover like I, you'll be thrilled. The beauty of this recipe is I have tried it with lowfat mayonnaise (Hellman's Just 2 Good) and it was wonderful. I'd stick with regular French dressing, though, just to be safe. -- posted by Christmas Carol

Durkee Famous Sauce Clone

Sat, 15 Jan 2005 20:01:06 -0500

This wonderful tasting, versatile sauce has been a secret ingredient in many southern recipes for as long as I can remember. It was originally patented in 1857. It is used in potato salad, cole slaw dressing, remoulade sauce, egg salads and various other salad/dressing recipes. We love it spread on bread for turkey sandwiches. While the "real deal" is still available at grocery stores in southern states, I understand it is becoming very difficult to find elsewhere. I suspect it will eventually become one of those extinct products that we will reminisce some day. I found several copycat recipes on the net but this one works best for me. -- posted by Susie in Texas

The Best Restaurant Salsa Made at Home

Mon, 15 Aug 2005 19:13:53 -0400

I don't know about you, but I'm so frustrated with salsa in a jar. We were so surprised to find out our favorite restaurant salsa contained only 4 ingredients!! My husband and I have tried every type there is - from big brand names to local brands. We have been searching for a salsa that tastes like what we get at our favorite local mexican restaurants. In the past, I've tried making my own but it hasn't been any better than store bought. Now I've found it though. One of our local restaurants posted their recipe on the wall...though it was for a 6 pound can of tomatos. So I've had to guess at amounts, but it turns out yummy everytime. ADDICTING!! And best of all it's only 4 ingredients!!! -- posted by Aggiezoey

Salted Herbs

Mon, 19 Sep 2005 20:59:09 -0400

This comes from a Canadian web site, here is what was said about these herbs:These seasonings seem to be added to a lot of traditional French- Canadian recipes. "Herbs preserved with vegetables and salt make a lively seasoning for soups-particularly pea soup - sauces, stews and omelettes. A commercial brand, Les Herbes Salees du bas du fleuve, is marketed by J.Y. Roy of St. Flavie, Quebec. This recipe comes from the Metis district." -- posted by LAURIE

North African Ras El Hanout Spice Mix

Sat, 13 Jan 2007 21:20:01 -0500

A "must" for nearly all Tagines, Couscous & North African recipes; I can always obtain it here in France but, as I list this in so many of my recipes I thought I would devise a "copycat" or cheat's spice mix which you can make up & have handy! It will be almost impossible to replicate this spice exactly as the orginal can contain up to 50 spices & very exotic ones such as rose petals, lavender, nigella & grains of paradise, but I have tried to incorporoate all the Traditional elements of this exotic mix, with spices that will be easily & readily available in most countries! Store it in an airtight & preferably dark tin/container, and in a cool & dry place; depending on the freshness of the spices you have used & your storage conditions, this should last for up to 6 months. You can buy this as Yellow or Red Ras-el-Hanout, I have made up the yellow version - it's the one I mainly use in my cooking! Please note - this is NOT a hot spice mix - but an aromatic & very fragrant one! If you want to "perk" it up a bit, add more cayenne pepper. I have added optional ingredients - spices which may be difficult to obtain, but if you have them, add them!! Would make a great gift too! Recipes that use Ras-el-Hanout are: Recipe #137530 Recipe #191946 and Recipe #176181 -- posted by French Tart

Kittencal's Dry Onion Soup Mix Increaser and Flavor Inhancer

Tue, 06 Feb 2007 22:58:15 -0500

If you use a lot of dry onion soup mix as I do for my cooking then you will love this mix! this is not a clone it is meant to use as a flavor inhancer of dry soup mix, you may use in place of the envelopes of dry onion soup mix in any recipe, this also works well in roasts, stews, soups and gravy as well as lots of other recipes --- when using this mix in recipes you might want to reduce or omit any extra salt, this mix already has a high sodium content. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Fool's Salt - Sel Fou - French Style Seasoning Salt

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 23:01:33 -0500

Every self-respecting French housewife has a tub of this by the side of her cooker; they are all slightly different depending on the region you live in, but this is one that I use over and over again. It has just a hint of herbs & spices, enhancing a dish rather than overpowering it. The French call this "Sel Fou" or Fool's Salt, which is a wonderful name for it I think! Please note, I have NOT added any chilli powder or Cayenne pepper in this mix - I realise that hot spices are popular in seasoning salts, but this is herbal rather than spiced! I use it to sprinkle over salads, add it to pasta, stews, soups, daubes, casseroles, pies, roast chicken & meat etc. It is also GREAT sprinkled onto hot Chips (French fries) & over the top of pizzas. I don't like to make huge quantities, due to the herbs losing their freshness and flavour - so, this makes about 125g (just over 5 ozs) of Fool's Salt; you can of course increase the quantities if you wish! -- posted by French Tart

Alabama White BBQ Sauce #2

Wed, 06 Jun 2007 23:13:19 -0400

This traditional Alabama Barbecue Sauce uses mayonnaise as its base rather than tomato sauce, vinegar, or any of the other traditional barbecue sauce bases. Like many barbecue sauces you want to apply this only at the very end of your grilling or smoking. It will breakdown and separate if it is heated too long. Use this sauce on chicken and turkey. It is also good on pork. Alabama White Barbecue Sauce has a tangy flavor that is a great addition to grilled foods. -- posted by Barbarella Rachelle

There are many generic brands on the market now, but this is the closest set of ingredients and the most authentic taste, compared with the Original Branston Pickle recipe!

Candlelight Inn Guacamole (A Work in Progress)

Tue, 28 Aug 2007 17:24:34 -0400

This is my holy grail of recipes. I have tried for 12 years to sneak this out of this hole in the wall restaurant a stones throw from Cowboy Stadium. I have paid 2 cooks to sneak it out...both of which got fired before the recipe made it to me, and have spent 10's of dollars getting waitresses, hostesses and anyone else affiliated with the place tipsy for information. Well finally one night when I was spending quality time with Bampa at a bar named Studer's I sang his favorite patsy cline song and who should walk up, correction... stumble up, run into the jukebox, and then throw her arms around me but the head waitress. I quickly turned the conversation to the guacamole and she stopped me and said.."Sarah! I know you been lookin' for that thing for a longtime, and I dunno the recipe but I see em' make it everday so I'll tell you the secret! The use avocados, oil, and vinegar....thats all. No magical ingredients like you've gotten into your head. Now where's your momma and your auntie, baby?" AND IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW! So here is yesterday's batch, and I'm going to keep trying every Sunday until I get it right. Next week I'm trying Tarragon Vinegar.

I found this on southernfoods.about.com and hope to try it soon. If it turns out well the first time that I make it, I don't see any reason why you couldn't make up a few ziplock bags including the rice for storage. -- posted by lazyme

Bloomin' Onion Dipping Sauce

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 19:10:18 -0400

Snagged this recipe from a copycat cookbook I saw at BJ's. I had to keep repeating it in my head over and over again on the way home. Well worth the mental effort, though. Not only is it good for the onions, but it makes a great sandwich spread, especially on turkey breast. -- posted by Cluich

Walnut Oil

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:35:33 -0400

So much cheaper than store bought. A delicately flavored oil usually used to infuse flavor on already cooked food. There are quite a few recipes on Zaar using Walnut Oil. -- posted by gailanng

Homemade Nutella

Tue, 05 May 2009 16:59:42 -0400

From a French children's book I just bought. Saw this, went in the kitchen and made it immediately, it took about 5 minutes. My French husband says it is better than Nutella. It is grittier, because I couldn't figure out how it to get it really smooth, but it tastes great. Makes enough to exactly fill one French Bonne Maman jam jar. -- posted by Kasha

Substitute for Expensive Aged Balsamic Vinegar

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:45:08 -0400

A quick tip from Christopher Kimball of _Cook's Illustrated_. Turn inexpensive supermarket balsamic vinegar into a reasonable facsimile of the super-expensive aged stuff. -- posted by DrGaellon

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:06:38 -0400

A copycat version of McDonald's Sweet and Sour sauce. I don't know about anyone else, but our McDonald's has started charging for sauce packets. From now on I think I'll make our nuggets and sauce. I found this recipe at another website. -- posted by tinkerbellisme

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:53:30 -0400

when i google "how to make powdered sour cream" i get a page to patent my idea. i think that's a bad sign. this is my logic, it may or may not work. if you try it let me know how it went! i would use pre-made powdered sour cream but it's about $35 plus shipping for one tin. i think not. -- posted by spiritussancto

Burger King Original Zesty Sauce

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:14:48 -0500

I love Burger King's Zesty dipping sauce, offered with their onion rings... which used to be somewhat palatable (no further comments about the rapidly diminishing quality and portions of today's fast food restaurant chains...). On each BK visit, I would routinely purchase additional Zesty sauces so I could take a good supply home with me... until the simple solution came when I opened my last remaining packet... "I can make this myself at home!"... And I did... -- posted by Bazaar®
