Golden Onion Focaccia

Fri, 21 Feb 2003 20:04:01 -0500

Focaccia is yummy, a favorite from Italy, it is a flattened yeast bread that is drizzled with olive oil and some times sprinkled with Savory toppings before baking. This is one of my family's favorites. The recipe comes from Gourmet Cooking. -- posted by Barb Gertz

Pizza Dough

Sat, 01 Mar 2003 20:06:54 -0500

This recipe was e-mailed to me from Pamela Sheldon Johns at Italian Food Artisans. The recipe actually says that this recipe will make 6 individual pizze, but I got 3 good sized pizzas out of it. It was quite good (if I don't say so myself) for my very first foray into pizza making from scratch. Thank you, Pamela. -- posted by Cattleships

Savoiardi (Lady Fingers)

Tue, 04 Mar 2003 20:00:01 -0500

Lady Fingers are cake-like strips (or "fingers") used as a base in many dessert recipes. They are easy to make and I think they are much better than the "store bought" kind. They are also yummy with a cup of coffee or tea. -- posted by Dee514

Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti

Fri, 18 Apr 2003 20:01:41 -0400

Biscotti is used to describe a long, dry, hard twice baked cookie with a curved top and a flat bottom designed for dunking into wine or coffee. The name biscotti is derived from 'bis' meaning twice in Italian and 'cotto' meaning baked or cooked. These are very nice glazed or dipped in white chocolate. Enjoy. Don't let all the steps bother you. -- posted by Barb Gertz

Easter "Egg" Bread

Tue, 22 Apr 2003 20:02:12 -0400

My grandmother used to make Easter Egg breads, but she used to make small individual braided "baskets" with an egg nestled in the center under the handle. This recipe is very similar to hers, but makes one large loaf instead. This recipe is from the April 1983 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine. Prep time includes 3 hours rising time. -- posted by Dee514

Blueberry Biscotti

Fri, 09 May 2003 20:04:42 -0400

To enhance the flavor, blueberries may be microwaved for 1 minute. Though this may change the color of the biscotti's. Recipe may be doubled. The recipe comes from KitchenAid.com -- posted by Barb Gertz

Lemon Tiramisu

Tue, 20 May 2003 20:06:21 -0400

This is my "summer Tiramisu" The original recipe uses one packet of sponge fingers, but I use more to get more coverage on this size of tin. I also added the lemon zest and find it is not too tart, you can leave it out of course if you are not sure about it. You don't have to make this in a spring form pan, if you like to scoop it out of a dish, use whatever suits you. I sometimes use trifle sponges or plain cake instead of the sponge fingers. Oh... the lemons are low fat and very healthy! -- posted by Pets'R'us

Pan di Spagna (Italian Sponge Cake )

Thu, 19 Jun 2003 20:11:47 -0400

Pan di Spagna (sponge cake) is used as a base for many Italian desserts and cakes. It is a somewhat dry cake, which is usually sprinkled/brushed with a rum or liqueur flavored syrup before the addition of a cream filling. Three 8 or 9inch round or square cake pans may be used instead of the sizes specified. -- posted by Dee514

Italian Chocolate Ruby Cake

Wed, 13 Aug 2003 20:07:05 -0400

This is my own recipe done after some experimentation. It's quick and easy using a cake mix and cookies as the starting ingredients to make a truly unique gourmet dessert. The vermouth in the recipe is added to the individual served slices just before serving, allowing you to leave it out on slices served to children ;) -- posted by 1Steve

Easy Tiramisu

Tue, 26 Aug 2003 20:01:08 -0400

It was "love-at-first-bite" when I first tasted "Tiramisu" last year in a Seattle restaurant, while there visiting our son and Czech daughter-in-law. This spring, my DH and I had Tiramisu again, in several different restaurants during the 4 weeks we were visiting in the Czech Republic. I'd never considered making it, myself, until I found this recipe in THE CAKE DOCTOR cookbook, as I thought it would be too complicated to make at home. Preparation includes 5 minutes for assembly. -- posted by Joje in Oklahoma City, OK, United States

Apple-Rum Ricotta Cream Dessert

Fri, 26 Sep 2003 19:03:19 -0400

I enhanced this recipe from one I found on the South Beach diet web site. The apple included balances out the carbs and protein nicely but if you are on the Adkins diet simply omit the apple or substitue a lower carb fruit. This tastes very creamy and it's so guilt free! -- posted by Michelle Kasper

Rosemary Focaccia Bread

Wed, 28 Jan 2004 20:00:24 -0500

Nothing is better than smelling fresh rosemary and fresh baking bread! This has been a favorite of mine for several years now. Prep-time includes rising time. -- posted by Kim D.

Torta di Peppina (Peppina's Cake)

Sun, 15 Feb 2004 19:59:20 -0500

Wow does this look sinfully delicious! I don't think I'll ever be able to have it with my dietary restrictions, but I just had to share it anyway! It's from Wegman's Menu magazine, and is originally from an old Italian woman named Peppina. -- posted by Kree

Emeril Lagasse's Perfect Pizza Dough

Fri, 20 Feb 2004 19:59:29 -0500

This is my new favourite recipe for pizza dough; it's so easy and works so well. I was watching a recent episode ("Pizza Party") of his show and went to the web as soon as it was over to get the recipe. Here it is, but the instructions are different than what you'll find on the web as I use my heavy-duty mixer rather than make this by hand. Enjoy! -- posted by Lennie

Easy Pudding Tiramisù

Thu, 25 Nov 2004 19:59:53 -0500

This is not authentic, but it is a fast, easy to make and very tasty version of Venice's favorite cheesecake. It comes from the Magic of Jell-O. The name means "pick me up". Also try substituting vanilla wafers for the lady fingers. If you do, reduce the coffee to 1/2 cup because the wafers won't absorb the liquid as well. -- posted by littleturtle

Anginetti (Italian Lemon Drop Cookies)

Sat, 27 Nov 2004 19:59:55 -0500

Like most Italian cookies, these lemon drop cookies aren't too sweet. The perfect summer-time treat or a great addition to your holiday cookie tray! -- posted by Kim D.

Bacon, Sour Cream, Potato Manicotti With Gorgonzola Sauce

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 20:00:42 -0500

This was something I put together after going to 240 Union in Denver and having a potato manicotti as a side dish. I made my favorite mashed potatoes and my favorite pasta and a great sauce that really pulls the flavors from the filling. use this as a side for a Chicken dish. -- posted by ChefBill

Italian Almond Cake - Giada De Laurentiis

Fri, 21 Jan 2005 20:00:49 -0500

The FoodTV chef Giada De Laurentiis prepared this recently on her show "Everyday Italian." The episode featured a "Polenta Party" but this light cake sounded so much like it could be a great addition to Thanksgiving or Christmas menus that I wanted to get it down and post it for folks that might want it for their holiday tables. :) It would also be good for Easter! We made the cake for a recent Italian dinner party, and it was a nice, light ending to the meal. -- posted by Julesong

The Ospidillo Cafe Italian Salad Dressing

Mon, 12 Dec 2005 16:50:21 -0500

I always offer two dressings on the table here at The Ospidillo Cafe -- The Stone Pipe Inn Salad Recipe #136181 and this one. When I place salads on the table, my guests typically query, "Where's that good salad dressing that you make?" I just point to the two carafes and about half take one and half take the other. They taste nothing alike. -- posted by Bone Man

Fruited Nut Bars (Biscotti)

Mon, 09 Jan 2006 19:33:01 -0500

For Christmas, mom gave me a new cookbook (what else!) of biscotti recipes. This one intrigued me as it uses whole wheat rather than white flour and brown sugar rather than white. Though I have not yet made these, thought it was worth sharing. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Chocolate-Cherry Biscotti

Fri, 13 Jan 2006 09:59:25 -0500

Biscotti are a wonderful treat. Not a sweet as a more traditional cookie, they work well as a midafternoon snack along with a cup of tea or coffee or as a light ending to a great supper. In addition, these double baked cookies are easy to prepare and store rather well. In this recipe the delightful flavors of chocolate and cherry are paired together. Found this on the Internet and storing it (with my inteneded tweaking) for safe keeping. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Pizza Crust

Fri, 20 Jan 2006 14:19:23 -0500

Tiramisu Eggnog Trifle

Wed, 01 Feb 2006 19:59:24 -0500

This classic dessert gets a Christmas & New Year's twist with eggnog flavors and an opulent-sounding presentation. Start making this, one day before serving. It sounded so good that I posted this before trying. Courtesy of epicurious.com, which was found in Bon Apetit, December 2003. Did not include chilling times. If you don't make the chocolate leaves it will not hurt the integrity of the trifle. -- posted by Manami

This is one of my kids favorite meals. I have made this for family gatherings as well as work related functions. If you have a smaller family you could reduce the recipe to half. This is however great for left overs you can send it to work with a loved one. School is not a place to send it however the other kids tend to want what yours are having. -- posted by momoffive1972

Heavenly Vanilla Buttercream

Sat, 12 May 2007 16:51:22 -0400

The smell of powdered sugar makes me gag, so when I came up with this buttercream (loosely adapted from Alton Brown's Buttercream recipe), I knew I could never go the sickly sweet frosting route again for my cupcakes. This frosting is so fluffy and light and buttery and not too sweet. This frosting, however, does not set, so it's not good for piping flowers onto cakes, although is sturdy enough to support decorations made out of royal icing or "Crisco and powdered sugar" buttercream. If you have vanilla bean paste (you can get this at Williams Sonoma for the same price ounce for ounce as vanilla extract), use 1 teaspoon of the paste with 1 teaspoon of extract for that special, delicious effect of vanilla bean specks throughout the frosting. -- posted by jenw1041

Italian Vienna Bread 2007

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 22:12:45 -0400

I call this Vienna Bread because it is exactly like the one we buy in the local bakery, only this has more flavour. It has a chewy crust, fluffy light but chewy centre, yet when toasted it is crisp as crisp as can be. This looks long but read it over and you will see that it is similar to everything that you do now when making a bread, so it is easy. What makes it even easier is that the kneading is done with your Kitchen Aid mixer and dough hook, but can be done by hand also. This recipe has a biga that is started the day before and left overnight 12 to 20 hours. -- posted by andypandy

New York Style Cheesecake- Splenda Version

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 19:21:50 -0500

Being Italian, I have a ton of family recipe's that have been handed down for generations that I love, but since I'm getting older, I have started to now play with them and make healthier versions. This is a true NY style cheese cake made with Ricotta, but i eliminated the sugar and some of the fat without compromising the taste. This is a dense, but light, cheesecake that you can serve as is or with fruit topping. I hope you enjoy as much as my family has. You really do have to refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours for it to firm up. -- posted by ItalianMomof2

Wood-Fired Oven Pizza Dough

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 01:00:29 -0500

This is a recipe sent to us from Woodstone, the makers of our pizza oven. The original recipe sent to us called for 50# of unbleached flour. We called them asnd said that often for a smaller party, we only use 20#!!. they sheepishly sent us a home recipe. This makes 4 or 5 dough balls, each making a 14-16" pizza. That adequately serves a party of 10-14 people. It is typical that many people want to make their own--so there might be a couple of disasters. People put too much stuff on their pizzas, making oven entry and exit tough. -- posted by Bruce Becker

Decided to join the two ideas and then couldn't find a recipe, so I decided to make my own. Personally, I like to keep the nuts in my biscotti fairly large because I like the way they look when you slice the logs. Chopped works just as well. -- posted by justcallmetoni
