The Lady & Sons Blueberry Cream Pie ( Paula Deen )

Mon, 22 May 2006 20:08:00 -0400

Eating this Paula Deen Classic is like throwing a party in your mouth. The crunch of the toasted nuts in the crust contrast beautifully with the cool creamy filling; while the blueberries just pop open with each bite. There is a lot of action going on in this pie...don't miss out. Time does not include chilling. My pie took a good 4 hours. -- posted by JT'sMom

Elvis' Gooey Butter Cake

Thu, 03 Aug 2006 22:56:07 -0400

This is a gooey butter cake, perfected by the lady herself, Ms. Paula Deen, and is a tribute to Elvis Presley. She's my favorite chef and I'll give anything she makes a try, even if it doesn't interest me. This recipe is definitely worth a try and takes one of my childhood favorites (peanut butter and banana sandwiches) to new heights. -- posted by Krystal-Belle

New York City Black and White Cookies

Mon, 07 Aug 2006 21:43:07 -0400

Look to the cookie. These cake-style cookies are a staple in New York City. Growing up we used to buy these all the time and you can still get them in every bake-shop in the city. They were made famous to the rest of the world by an episode of Seinfeld entitled "The Dinner Party". They are more like small cakes than crunchy or chewy cookies, and should be roughly the size of the palm of your hand, if not, bigger. These are great for taking to a potluck, or if you've got a wayward New Yorker around. -- posted by Chef Hayley

This is a wonderful cold drink made by the famous chef Jack McNair. It is non- alcoholic in the recipe but I am sure that something with pineapple or rum would taste great with it. If you can't find cream of coconut then just leave it out, it tastes great without it. -- posted by celestial_star03

I found this recipe in The Frugal Gourmet Celebrates Christmas. He calls it "Nellie's Lemon Tart" and credits a friend of his from Toulouse, France for gifting him this recipe as his favorite.

A fun candy treat to make for a themed party - to pull kids in and inspire imagination!

Martha Washington's Great Cake

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 17:35:12 -0500

Just the other day--while laying on the couch being sick--I watched Martha Stewart's TV program. Caroline Kennedy is writing a book featuring recipes from our country's past. Martha brought out her old catering service HUGE Hobart mixer, and it was fun (being sick & all "fun" is relative!) to watch her put this together---WOW! Today I was paging through a "Christmas traditions" book my SIL gave me a few years ago and wow--here's the recipe Martha S. & Caroline Kennedy were re-creating on the TV program. The book says, "From an old manuscript dated 'Mount Vernon, 1781" made by Martha Custis Washington for her grandmama." I'm purely guessing on the serving amounts. -- posted by Debber

Another recipe from the 1980 version of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania that was given to me by my Nana when I became an adult. This recipe was submitted to the cookbook by my late Grandfather and my two older male cousins. I remember them cooking this one summer when Nana taught all of the cousins how to 'cook' and we made our own family cookbook. Daisy refers to Daisy Duck and I think the recipe came from a magazine.

Pop Rocks No Bake Strawberry Lime Cheesecake

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:02:54 -0400

I love Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. I was watching the Northwest episode and the Gypsy dining group came up with a fabulous dessert that engulfed all of the senses. Seeing as how I am in no way going to do this dessert justice, I just wanted to quote what Gypsy described it as: "The second dessert was a lime cheesecake mousse set over the top of an aural crust. Strawberry pop rocks were implanted into the graham cracker crust for a surprising aural firework display with every bite. The dish was accompanied by strawberry sorbet over a salad of black pepper and strawberries, a strawberry sauce, and a fresh grating of lime zest." I have researched the lime mousse techniques and i have just run out of patience on how to keep the rocks from popping before the cake is consumed. So it's basically, no bake, low heat, keep it cool. I cannot come close to coming up with the black pepper and strawberries concoction so i am going to make my cop out, easy version. It might not be completely gourmet, but it is still poppin'. **I plan on revisiting this to make a diet friendly version. -- posted by College Girl

Dark Chocolate Crepe Cake

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 20:53:46 -0400

Taken from the Heal My Hands blog at http://healmyhands.typepad.com/heal_my_life/2007/05/darkest_chocola.html based on a Martha Stewart recipe. It's very fussy and quite a lot of work, but oh, it is impressive! Because the sugar in the French buttercream is melted into the egg yolks, it makes a smoother cream than American buttercream (which is made with confectioner's sugar). It will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator overnight, or up to 1 month in the freezer. Before using, let stand at room temperature until spreadable, then beat with electric mixer on high until smooth and fluffy again. -- posted by DrGaellon

Entered for safe-keeping. From Melissa Winner, Gulfport, MS, as entered in Cuisinart Stand Mixer competition, and later entered on Food Network's Ultimate Recipe Showdown as Ruby Red Grapefruit Cake. I prefer a glaze such as this on my Bundt cakes, so no refrigeration is needed, although Paula Deen likes a cream cheese frosting on hers (see Recipe #324804). This can also be made as two 9-inch layers, which would work better with the cream cheese frosting. Ms. Winner recommends serving with dreamsicle ice cream and a sprig of mint. -- posted by KateL

Tantalizing Raspberry Tarts

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 20:35:43 -0400

Another recipe from "The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook": "The little girls of Avonlea school always pooled their lunches, and to eat three raspberry tarts all alone or even to share them only with one's best chum would have forever and ever branded as "awful mean" the girl who did it. And yet, when the tarts were divided among ten girls you just got enough to tantalize you. " (from "Anne of Green Gables" by L.M. Montgomery). Times are estimated and do not include cooling time beyond the initial 15 minutes (included in cooking time). The original recipe did not specify the size of package of frozen berries, so I guessed a 10 oz package based on the fresh raspberry substitution. -- posted by Halcyon Eve

Good Eats Pound Cake Light - Alton Brown

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:08:42 -0400

Transcribed from the 10/26/09 episode. Slow-churned European style butters have smaller butterfat crystals, which leads to smaller, finer bubbles and a finer texture in the finished cake, so splurge on the expensive butter for this! Be sure to use cake flour, not all-purpose; the finer particle size, the lower protein and the bleaching all lead to a better, more tender texture in the final cake. Substituting buttermilk for some of the eggs and butter lightens the cake, lowers the fat and calories, and adds a tangy note; Alton recommends whole buttermilk, not low-fat or non-fat. It's technically not a pound cake anymore, but we won't quibble with such good eats. -- posted by DrGaellon

Rich and Chewy Pecan Pie Muffins!

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:38:39 -0500

This recipe came from Trisha Yearwood, who married Garth Brooks and wrote a cookbook called Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma kitchen with a forward by Garth Brooks himself! Gotta try these! :) Be sure to use paper liners in the muffin tins and spray them with nonstick spray; otherwise, they will crumble when you peel off the liners. This recipe also makes great mini muffins; just shorten the baking time by 5 minutes. You might also try using oat flour instead of all purpose for a healthier muffin. -- posted by Sharon123
