Perfect Hot Chocolate
Whole milk, unsweetened cocoa powder and luscious dark chocolate liquefy together to become what is undoubtedly the Perfect Hot Chocolate recipe.
Strawberry Nothing
I named this recipe because it is mostly nothing but air. It's fun to make because it's sort of magic. It breaks all those rules you've heard abou egg whites. You don't have to let them get to room temperature. There's no whipping them first and carefully folding in other ingredients. You just put all the ingredients in a big bowl and beat until you have this huge strawberry cloud.
Cilantro Pesto
Learn how to make fresh cilantro pesto using cilantro, lemon juice, pine nuts, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. Make it in a food processor.
Cardamom Hot Chocolate

Te Helado
For this te helado recipe, you'll make refreshing ice tea with one cup of lemon. Serve in a glass with ice or chilled and sweetened with sugar of choice.
Nan Khatai
These are wonderful, light, little cardamom butter cookies. They are easy to make, very unique and always a crowd pleaser! This recipe comes from the cookbook I am working on with my Indian mother-in-law. Although this recipe makes a lot, it is easily halved and they also make perfect hostess gifts! - elizabeth c
Mango Sauce with Cardamom and Saffron
This is a recipe for a puree I fed my daughter when she was 7 months old. It calls for cooking cubes of Mango with crushed Cardamom seeds and strands of saffron.
Mango Lassi (with Cardamom)
A mango lassi (blended mango nectar with plain yogurt and cardamom) will do well to cool and focus the mind.
Cardamom Chai Tea
I am a tea lover, and I met a co-worker from Pakistan, who used Cardamom as a spice. He gave me some, and I put it in my tea, added milk, and honey, and felt the calming effect on my mind. This drink became my energizer in the morning, when I wanted to get through the day calmly, and it smells sweet. I later tried store brought Chai tea, but this is a more authentic, and exotic version of Chai. You could take this recipe anywhere, which makes it especially good for a fast pace lifestyle. Enjoy!

Eggs with Chervil, Feta & Heirloom Tomatoes
Creamy Greek Yogurt
This is one of my favorite must-have ingredient in our house. I love the whole process, from the actual making of the yogurt to straining it for the thick creamy result. It is as rewarding as the smell of baked cookies and a well-risen loaf of bread. I use this for everything: breakfast, snack, appetizer dishes, and also makes a fabulous substitute for sour cream.
Eggplant & Tomato Dip
Growing up in Russia, both my parents and grandparents made this simple roasted eggplant and tomato dip. This recipe is easy and delicious!
Garam Masala Yogurt Dip
I'd hardly consider this a recipe, it's so simple and easy. But, it's one of my favorite dips, especially for sweet potato wedges or chips. - fiveandspice
Pesto White Bean Dip
This recipe is really easy to throw together since it relies on pantry staples (aka stuff that fits into a college student's budget). The balsamic vinegar adds a little sweetness without being too overbearing. It's good with pita chips or crudite and also makes a tasty sandwich spread.
Star Anise Syrup
I broke up with a fellow after stocking his kitchen with ingredients. He asked what he'd do with a cupboard full of spices - this was my suggestion.
Truffle Scented Chive Dip
Once, when I was outside of San Francisco on a backroad near Napa I had something similar to this truffle scented chive dip recipe at a French Laundry.
Easy Baba Ghanouzh
When I was growing up in Lebanon, there were ALWAYS 2 things you could count on at the dinner table (other than crazy relatives yelling at each other) - hummus and baba ghanouzh. In the old days, Tayta (Grandma in Arabic) would shanghai someone into standing at the stovetop turning eggplants over to char/roast them which inevitably caused even more yelling when things didn't go right. Here's a much easier way to make it
Red, White and Blue Chipotle Dip
I was trying to figure out what to do with Blue corn chips because I was tired of eating them with just Salsa. I wanted something that was spicy, cool, thick and smokey.
Creamy Soy Dip
A mix of miso, tofu and cream may sound a bit odd but trust me, these are one of the finest blends I've recently come up with! It tastes almost like a rich cheese dip :-) Goes well with rice puff crackers or your choice of veggie sticks.
Pear, Persimmon and Hazelnut Salad
Feta and Walnut Spread with Fig Preserves
After a few swings and misses from a friend's ill-trusted cookbook, I decided to toss the recipes and go with what I had on hand. The result was spectacular--the hit of the party! Salty, sweet and nutty, and with just a hint of spice from the black pepper, this dip is the grown-up version of the cream-cheese-and-jelly sandwich. It's important to use high-quality feta and preserves--don't even think about those plastic-packed feta "crumbles." I recommend Bon Maman fig preserves. Can't find fig preserves? Try swapping out apricot or strawberry. Serve with pita chips, crackers, or toasted slices of bread. - calliehoo
Texas Cheese Ball
Although not necessarily a "dip," I think a classic cheese ball qualifies because if you're impolite or just really hungry, you can put your cracker right in the ball. This recipe came as a child of the necessity of invention as I was asked to do a cheeseball for a function that tasted like one my mom had made using a pre-assembled spice mix, but we didn't have any of the spice mix left. So, the recipe that follows is what we came up with, and it was a hit and was requested at every holiday party we had this season.
Korean Hummus
I had some guests coming for dinner yesterday and I saw testkitchenette's Edamame Hummus recipe and thought that sounded good. I can usually get fresh, depodded edamame and thought it would make a nice starter for the party. Well, mostly. I wanted something a bit more Mediterranean, so while I Iiked the idea, I thought I might cut the sesame oil in favour of olive oil, and maybe cut the rice vinegar and try a bit of balsamic, or perhaps jerez sherry vinegar? And, instead of the ginger, maybe I'd give it some heat with a bit of pimenton. But the almonds and the garlic, they were definitely staying. So then I couldn't find edamame. In the end, I concocted this, but the almonds and the garlic remain. I ended up giving it some heat with Korean taeyangcho gochujang, which is a fermented chili and soybean paste, sort of miso and chili all in one. Yummy stuff. I used a whole 60gm tube, but think some brands might be hotter than others, so taste before you commit yourself.
My beloved home made mayonnaise
Home made mayonnaise is something I have always had since I was a child. With boiled fish, boiled potatoes and vegetables, with bread as a snack but above all as a dip. You can use this mayonnaise as a dip for everything savory and any crudités. But my favourite use is for the fondue bourguignonne my grandmother used to prepare every year for my birthday. Home made mayonnaise is so delicate that you can have it just plain but it can also be enriched with any kind of spices (I like curry), minced parsley and garlic, or even ketchup to have it pink (which is a perfect dip for shrimps). While blending, sometimes curds could form: you can save it by adding another egg and make a bigger quantity in the same container. The amount of necessary oil is rough as it could vary a lot according to the kind of oil and the dimension of the egg.
