Oatcakes

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 02:29:28 -0400

This is my best attempt to duplicate Scottish oatcakes, which I had previously only had from a box (brands such as Nairn). I don't know how they would compare to homemade oatcakes in Scotland or Ireland, although in my search for a recipe, I've found that there are many varieties, including sweet or yeast-leavened. This recipe is based on one I found in a Saturday Evening Post many years ago--which I adapted, lost, and then had to recreate from memory. However, I am quite pleased with the final result! Everyone seems to love them. I think they are traditionally served with cheese, butter, jams, etc. but we just eat them plain. (Note: You may use up to 1 tsp. of salt, or no salt at all, as in the original.) -- posted by TapestryThreads

Easier Than the Easiest Chocolate Croissants

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 17:51:58 -0400

Yep - that's code for SUPER easy. :) My family traveled to France when I was little and these were on the BREAKFAST buffet! Every kid's dream!!! I made sure to eat one *every* morning. Chocolate for breakfast? That is only something a kid can get away with while in a foreign country - at least in my family! Now that I am a bit older, I no longer seek the adrenaline rush of breaking the breakfast routine, and I prefer to occasionally make these as a potluck contribution. Enjoy! -- posted by Greeny4444

Pinwheel Sandwiches

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 02:13:04 -0400

I am attending a Catering course at my local TAFE and this is one of a selection of sandwiches we learned to make. Fillings can vary, but the full fat cream cheese is necessary to make it set firm in the fridge, to facillitate slicing, and to maintain shape for serving. Looks very clever. The bread has to be sliced lengthwise by your baker or at home with a good breadknife. Can be made with two slices of ordinary sliced bread if rolled correctly - but may come apart at the seams if not. Once you have made this for the first time - it becomes easier and is something which is inexpensive, can be made ahead of time, can always be frozen and kept on hand. The more contrast between the bread and the filling colour the better. -- posted by Lynne Krywulycz

Homemade Corn Tortilla Chips, Easy Cheap Mexican Snack Food

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:40:44 -0400

Corn tortillas (used in making Oaxaca-style quesadillas) are available at international and Latin grocery stores, and if you live in a large Latin-American community like I do then you can find corn tortillas in bags of 20-30 for like $2 or less at major grocery stores. Flour tortillas probably won't work as well for this and definitely won't have the corn flavor and base. Never spend money on premade again! You can also control how large or small you want to make them (and keep them seasoned or not) not to mention salt content if you're watching sodium intake. 32 chips is all I could fit on my convection oven's cookie sheet so feel free to use more tortillas; the methodology is all the same. You won't believe how easy it is to get restaurant-style tortilla chips without any icky unnatural ingredients! -- posted by the80srule

I like cooking my rice fresh in my rice cooker while I fix the rest of the lunches. These would also make good non-sweet treats for a Halloween party. You can also add a smidge of filling to the rice ball before you decorate it, like chicken, squash, or whatever. :) -- posted by CraftScout

Coconut Ice - Old-Fashioned Sweet Shop Coconut Candy

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:49:09 -0500

A trip down Memory Lane! This is my mum's recipe for Coconut Ice, little coconut squares which are coloured pink and white, and used to be popular in old-fashioned British sweet (candy) shops. My mum used to make trays and trays of these for our Church fêtes, as well as for Christmas and for gifts. These lovely little coconut morsels are very popular in Scotland where I think my mum's recipe originated either from my Scottish grandmother or an auntie. These are great fun to make with the children, as they are easy as well as being "no-cook". If you plan to make them for gifts or to sell, pack them into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients and storage details. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart

This is a fantastic, quick to prepare snack. You will love the combination of salty/sweet taste and the crunch of the almonds and browned crackers. I got the recipe from my friend after we tasted these snacks at her home. These crackers are really pleasing to the eye and will keep several days in a container with a tightly-fitting lid. They would also make a great Christmas gift in a decorative tin. -- posted by Saute Gently

Little Tavern Shops Hamburgers

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 12:38:43 -0500

Little Tavern Shops is a now-defunct chain of hamburger restaurants in Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. The slogan of the chain was "Buy 'em by the bag", and its signs promised "Cold drinks * Good Coffee". The stores were quite small and could accommodate only a few seated customers, while most business was take-out. This recipe is posted in response to a HUGE forum discussion. If you wish to make larger patties, roll the meat into 1.7 ounce meatballs and cook as directed. -- posted by Molly53

An easy way to prepare raw fish for anyone loving sweet and sour flavors. This tartare is meant to be served in appetizer spoons or small verrines but if you wish to have it as a unique starter, count about 4.5 oz salmon per serving and adapt the ingredients quantity accordingly.

This was something tasty my husband cooked up for me as a surprise to go with soup! It's really tasty--the rye cracker is the perfect contrast to the rich tomato sauce and cheese. Plus, no wheat and no yeast in this! -- posted by Jainene

Edible Snack Bowl

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:04:39 -0500

Dubbed the "Super Bowl" - this recipe was featured in the Jan/Feb 2010 issue of Food Network Magazine. Stashing for safe keeping. You will also need aluminum foil and an ovenproof 3 quart bowl to pull this trick off. The article says it is strong enough to hold dip! The original recipe didn't include servings, so 8 is an estimation. Prep time includes time to cool as well. -- posted by Misa

Animal-Free Raspberry Vodka Gelatin Jigglers

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:51:59 -0500

This recipe for vegetarian-friendly, alcoholic gelatin jigglers (think Jello Jigglers meets Jello shots) combines fruit flavored vodka, uses seaweed-derived gelatin called agar-agar (as opposed to nondescript gelatin, which is likely to be animal-derived), and reduces paper/plastic waste (no cups). The ratio of water to alcohol is 1:1, so these jigglers are quite alcoholic! For better taste/less alcohol, you might consider reducing the amount of alcohol to 1 1/2 cups and increasing the amount of boiling water to 2 1/2 cups. Of course, it's all a matter of personal taste and preference. The agar-agar powder can be found at your local South East Asian market. -- posted by Thuha

Victorian Watercress Tea Sandwiches for High Tea and Picnics

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:30 -0500

During Victorian times, children used to take watercress sandwiches to school in place of meat ones. I love them, especially when cut into small trianges and served with a cuppa (cup of tea!). Use the freshest bread - I like to use wholemeal, and a fresh salted farmhouse butter. I have inlcluded a soup idea at the end of the recipe, to be made with the excess stalks! So a soup and sandwich recipe then! -- posted by French Tart
