Veal or Chicken Stew with Herbs & Barley

Thu, 21 Feb 2002 16:34:23 -0500

In 7th century England, herbs were one of the few flavourings available to cooks and were used heavily, as in this medieval recipe. The original recipe also allowed the cook to use rabbit or hare joints in place of the veal or chicken. -- posted by Mille®

Summer Fruit, Honey, and Hazelnut Crumble

Thu, 21 Feb 2002 16:34:35 -0500

Orange Omelette for Harlots and Ruffians

Thu, 21 Feb 2002 16:35:27 -0500

This is a medieval recipe. The original instructions (translated from the medieval language) read as follows: "How to make an orange omelette: Take eggs and break them, with oranges, as many as you like; squeeze their juice and add to it the eggs with sugar; then take fat, and heat it in the pan and add the eggs. This is for ruffians and brazen harlots." -- posted by Mille®

Amazingly Easy Pie Crusts

Fri, 01 Mar 2002 09:46:12 -0500

This is the EASIEST way to make a quick two-crust pie crust! Forget measurements and pastry blenders! Whatever amount of flour you need, you then take HALF that amount for your lard/margarine amount. Motto "Half as much fat as flour." Do as the English do and use half lard and half butter for the shortening. -- posted by Mille®

Swedish Yorkshire Pudding (no, that's NOT a typo!)

Thu, 14 Mar 2002 10:14:14 -0500

A little known fact: Yorkshire Pudding was brought to England by the Vikings. Originally called 'Tjockpannkaka', it was a delicacy eaten only at feasts to celebrate the homecoming of the main fleet of Viking ships. 'Thorsvedt the Berserk' was a Viking warrior who remained in northern England after a particularly bloody battle and passed on the recipe to the natives of the village he had earlier pillaged. This strange food was eaten along with basic vegetables and slices of meat on the Sabbath. Thus the humble Yorkshire pud and the Sunday roast were born! -- posted by Mille®

Sugar Free Punch

Mon, 08 Apr 2002 21:41:07 -0400

A Sugar Free Punch that a Type 1 diabetic could drink all day long without having to take extra insulin. People with diabetes will just love you for thinking of THEM! Especially any diabetic child like mine. Do you realize a Type 1 diabetic can eat only at certain times of the day and only a certain amount of carbohydrates? Hopefully my daughter will go on the insulin pump this summer so things do not have to be so rigid for her. -- posted by Charlotte J

Horseradish-And-Herb-Crusted Beef Rib Roast

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 19:24:29 -0500

The inspiration for this delicious roast comes from chef John Besh's father-in-law, Pat Berrigan, who serves it every Christmas with horseradish sauce on the side. Besh opts to smear the roast with a horseradish, garlic & herb butter, which bakes to form an irresistible crust. However, this meal need not be only for Christmas! Recipe by chef John Besh from The Big, Easy Christmas in F&W Magazine, December 2007 edition. MAKE AHEAD The horseradish-herb butter can be refrigerated overnight. Let the butter soften before using. Serve with recipe #60384 and make with 3 tablespoons of the fat from the roast, french string beans, a nice bread and a sustantial Cabernet Sauvignon; Cabernet's firm tannins help cut the richness of the red meat. -- posted by Manami

Roasted Shrimp With Feta (Barefoot Contessa)

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 02:25:43 -0500

This is Ina Garten's secret for convincing your guests that you're a natural-born cook! I recommend Greek or French feta if you can find it. Usually Ina prefers feta cubed rather than crumbled, but here she crumbles it in large pieces. Pernod is one of her secret ingredients. "Whenever I cook with fennel, Pernod gives the dish just the right licorice jolt that I love. You don't know the Pernod is there, you just know that the fennel tastes wonderful." -- posted by Manami

Noble House Long Life Noodles

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 00:19:11 -0500

Any type of noodle - thin chow mein noodles to broad rice noodles to the thicker Shanghai wheat noodles - is a must at Chinese New Year's. However, long noodles represent a long unbroken life (so cutting them into shorter strands would symbolically shorten your life). Pull out your largest skillet or wok because this recipe creates a full pan. -- posted by Celticevergreen

Caramelized Onion and Shrimp Bruschetta

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 21:04:24 -0400

Caramelized onion and golden raisins add sweet balance to the shrimp. It can be assembled in no time by making the onion spread ahead. Remove the shrimp for a vegetarian option and replace with crumbled feta. I've allowed 30 minutes resting time for the raisins and if the onions aren't made ahead of time another 30 minutes cooling time for the onions once cooked.We enjoyed them for Christmas Eve before the BIG meal.;) -- posted by Manami
