Creamy Potato Salad With Yogurt Vinaigrette
You may worry about the amount of dressing in this luscious salad, but you'll find that it is largely absorbed by the potatoes. The salad resembles a classic creamy potato salad with lots of crunchy celery, but there's only a smidgen of mayonnaise here. The technique of softening the onions with boiling water comes from the cookbook author Deborah Madison.
Cream Corn
This is a really simple recipe but do not think for a moment it isn't complex. What I like about it is it uses the starch from the corn to thicken the cream. You could also add a small pinch of curry powder for a nice change. I like to serve this like many in the South would, with pan seared dove or quail but roast or fried chicken would be good too.
Homemade Ricotta
Incredibly simple-- something everyone must make at some point (unless you're dairy-free!).
Tropical Basil Bites
This is a zingy little mouthful, an appetizer in the truest sense of the word, since it awakens your appetite and refreshes your palate. It takes only moments to prepare, even children can make them, and kids will love to eat them as much as adults do. They're perfect as a starter for an Asian meal, or as a nibble with tropical cocktails on a summer day.
Caramelized Balsamic Gelato or Ice Cream
This creamy and rich custard-based ice cream recipe has a wonderful caramel flavor, but with a sneak attack of tart balsamic. It truly is a must-try dessert.
The Simplest Cauliflower Soup (great chilled in summer!)
Seriously simple.
Sweet Potato and Pancetta Gratin
These individual Sweet Potato and Pancetta Gratins get a big punch of flavor from the many layers of diced pancetta and Gruyere in this recipe. Give it a try!
Cherry Milksicles
Not much of a back story, just an idea that popped into my head and turned out pretty darn tasty! I got one of those ZOKU popsicle makers for my birthday, so that's what I used and it worked great!!! - aargersi
Strawberry and Hot Fudge Decadence
When you are dining alone and are in the mood for a decadent strawberry and choolcate dessert, this is the one to make. The hot fudge is created in a minute. You can dip the berries in the hot fudge or pour it over ice cream and top with sliced strawberries.
Rhubarb Ice Cream With a Caramel Swirl
This ice cream is chock-full of sweet bits, but with enough satiny frozen custard to savor between the chunks. To keep the rhubarb from freezing into tooth-breaking fruity ice cubes, stew it with plenty of sugar, which keeps the fruit soft. The technique works with any summer fruit, though it’s especially nice with rhubarb, or gooseberries for that matter, both of which need a lot of sugar to tame their squint-inducing acid content. But you can substitute strawberries, apricots, cherries, peaches or plums as the summer fruit season progresses, adjusting the sugar depending upon the sweetness of the fruit.
Simple French Toast
I realize this is the most basic recipe in the world. One of the first things that my sister and learned how to cook by watching our mom. I remember standing in the kitchen with her on Saturday mornings, beating the eggs and milk in a shallow metal pie plate. We always used whatever bread was in the house, and we always topped it with powdered sugar. (And sometimes syrup too!) Over the years, I have tried different variations (adding cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla to the egg mixture) but I come back to this one and realize for me, it is all about the cooking technique rather than the ingredients. This yields french toast that is more bready than custardy, as is my preference. It serves one because believe it or not, my husband doesn't like french toast, custardy or not.
Bell-less, Whistle-less, Damn Good French Toast
There are things in life that just ought to be simple, and to my taste buds, French toast is one of them. My recipe has only three ingredients.
First time "plain cream" ice cream
Got an ice-cream insert for my mixer--today was my first attempt. My son came up with the idea of starting with the basics, with a request for "plain" ice cream. Not even vanilla, because according to him: "vanilla is a flavor". He's right. Also: Mom's a cheater. Some Notes: With ice cream this unadorned, try to find eggs & dairy as fresh and high quality as possible. Also: I use a 50-50 combination of fine maple sugar and "sugar in the raw". I used 4 egg yolks because that's what I had in the fridge. I imagine the ice cream would be delicious with 7 or 8, and also good with 0 or 1.
Russian Toffee
My sister, brother and I are lucky enough to still have the most wonderful mother, but I must confess, she is not and never was a "cook". She is a WW11 war bride from New Zealand, who after marrying our father in NZ in 1943, arrived in this country with a somewhat short list of British Puddings and sweets! They are all the absolute best and it is from her that we learned to make the ultimate (and original) Pavlova, the best Shortbread, Queen's Pudding and ... tra la, Russian Toffee. Who knows where the name came from? I have never seen it in any cookbook, even by another name. It is magnificently simple and scarily addictive! We never had a candy thermometer so the consistency varied from batch to batch--it never seemed to matter whether it was firm and cleanly sliceable like fudge or gooey and sticky when we sliced it--it always vanished rapidly. This is so sinful that I've never passed it on to my daughters until now!
Fried Mush
I realize that the name does not sound promising, however ... when we were kids my Mom and my Stepdad had a cool old VW camper van, you know the kind with the mini fridge and the fold down table, and a bunk area in the back? They would pack the van and we would go camping, first in Baja and around California, then later in New Mexico and Colorado ... Mom always packed her iron skillet and everything needed for fried mush, which is somehow better eaten outdoors by a morning campfire but still delicious in my kitchen just now ... Mom also instructed me not to go messing with the recipe as I am wont to do, but rather to cook it as it is meant to be cooked. My Mom is an artist ... I didn't inherit her talent for creating visual art but I do think that my inherited creativity comes out in the kitchen. For more on Mom's art check out : www.marysegal.com - aargersi
Cardamom Chai
As a purebred teas drinker, I was skeptical about Cardamom Chai and its maelstrom of spices and blast of sugar. I tried this recipe and it became a favorite.
Rose-scented Mexican Hot Chocolate
Since my friend brought me back a Molinillo and some Abuelita (Mexican Chocolate), I've been looking for an excuse to make some hot chocolate. The addition of dried Persian rose petals gives it a subtle fragrance and a slightly eastern flavour.
Nutella Mocha Frappé
Sconegirl and I created this recipe for her Italian class video project. She and two friends put together a fabulous menu of homemade gnocchi, cannoli and this frappé. The video is so entertaining, and contains a hysterically funny blooper reel at the end (including unplanned pyrotechnics.)
Milk and Honey
If I’m trying to relax, a mug of warm milk always seems to do the trick. So does liquor, but this honey and milk recipe is a more virtuous non-alcoholic option.
Honey Ricotta Gelato with Honeyed Almonds
I'm obsessed with my ice cream maker. When I saw the challenge for Italian desserts, all I could think was gelato... and since ricotta, nuts, and honey go perfect together, I thought combining them in a gelato would delicious! The ricotta is mild and pairs great with the sweet, orange flavored honey and crunchy almonds. Even a room full of 20-something guys didn't blink at the mention of cheese-ice cream, and practically inhaled it! *Read steps ahead, requires chilling ahead of time, and requires an ice cream maker.*
Whole Wheat Muffins
Hot Chocolate
I've been wanting to make hot chocolate with real chocolate for years. Today I finally did. I'm giving you the recipe for one snow-bound girl, but you can double it for two people and hopefully that other person will be someone who is cozy to hang out with on a snowy day.
Lemon Posset
This Lemon Posset recipe is a wonder of science. It's the perfect thing for anyone who harbors a weakness for this sort of milky, comforting, nursery-food.
Milk "Mayonnaise" (Maionese de Leite)
This recipe is based on an irresistible sauce I tried while in Spain. It was a mayonnaise made with milk and oil and no egg. There's garlic & tang from lemon.
