Hi Everybody!

Do you love to cook?

Let's share yummy recipes here and talk about food, cooking or whatever comes to your mind.

No rules for this thread, ok? Nothing is really off topic if it can be linked by six degrees of separation to food. Idle chit-chat is always welcome.

Use standard measurements from wherever you hail from. Anyone inspired to make your recipe will probably find a way to translate/adapt what you write.

If you post a recipe, please give credit to the author or source if you know it.

I'll start with what I am baking this afternoon...

My Dad's Biscotti Recipe

4 cups flour
4 tsps. baking powder
2 cubes butter (1 salted, 1 not salted)
1.75 cups of sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. rum
1.5 tsps. anise seeds
1 cup toasted almonds

Sift flour with baking powder

Cream butter with sugar

Add eggs one at a time & stir to blend

Add vanilla, rum, anise seeds & nuts

Gradually mix in the flour mixture

Divide dough into three sections

Pat each out on a cookie sheet into a uniform, slightly flattened roll (0.5 to 0.75 inches high)

Bake one roll at a time, 20-25 mins at 350 degrees until lightly browned on top. It will expand and puff up some.

Remove a roll from the oven & let it rest 10 mins.

Remove slightly cooled giant cookie from the sheet.

Use your sharpest knife to slice it into strips 0.75 to 1.0 inch wide.

Put the strips back on the cookie sheet, cut side up.

Bake 5 to 10 mins. on each cut side, until golden brown on each side. Tongs really are useful for turning the strips over.

Remove baked biscotti to a cooling rack & let cool completely.

Store in a cookie tin with wax paper between layers.


For my own personal variation on my dad's recipe, sometimes I substitute coarsely chopped walnuts for the almonds and replace the anise seeds with the zest from 1 or 2 lemons.

For the holidays this year, I'm thinking about a variation with orange zest, red dried cranberries and green pistachios.

Anyone have a good recipe for Yaeger Schnitzel? I tried it a restaurant recently, and it was very tasty.

LETS BEGIN IN 2010

I'm not allowed to cook...I can burn water. Yes, (bows) thank you, thank you. Although I can crack eggs one handed (with only 2 fingers as well).

No in all seriousness, it takes me so long to do anything it's not worth my trying to cook.

recipe who needs a recipe. Kill it, salt it, and throw it on the fire. That pretty much sum it up for me.

Thank you John and Bill for the dinner suggestion!!!!

Eric and I made the Jeager Schnitzel for dinner tonight. With two of us in the kitchen, it went pretty fast. We made the traditional version and served it over buttered egg noodles with sides of zucchini and green beans from our yard. I lit some candles and we ate outside, which we only do if one of us has actually bothered to cook something more complicated than crackers and cheese.

Eric is upstairs now killing the rest of the bottle of red wine. Somebody should tell him that this is no way to end a date...

The kitchen in the nursing home I work for has some excellent recipes from years ago. This one is one of my favorites that I've modified to my own tastes. Keep in mind that this feeds 75 people, so you'll have to reduce as necessary.

[Edit]I forgot to name the recipe: Hungarian Goulash

18 pounds of diced beef
1 large chopped onion
3/4 tbsp garlic powder
3 oz paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 tbsp salt
2 1/2 cups Worchestershire sauce
3 tbsp vinegar
1 1/2 qt catsup
5 qt water


Brown beef, drain fat.

Combine seasonings and water, add to browned meat. I like to subtract the salt and add some beef base, which is naturally salty but gives a beefier flavor. I also like to add extra garlic and paprika for more flavor, and a tad extra cayenne for some extra kick!

Cover and simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until meat is tender.

Mix flour and water (I have a hard time with that so I use corn starch and water), add to hot mixture and cook until thickened.

Ladle over cooked noodles.

Tasty!

Old enough to know better(but)still young enough not to care

OzFan, that brings back memories of my mother's cooking. She was a cook in the Army for 4 years, and rose to Sergeant in charge of baking. She always claimed she could make 100 apple pies from memory, but had to stop and really think if she was only making 3 or 4.

Angela, the serious German cook strains their sauce through a fine cheese cloth before putting it back on the pork chop. This gives a very even consistency. I prefer to leave in some lumps, they're kind of like little surprises you come across from time to time.

Eric, you should really share the last of the wine with the rest of the kitchen staff.

Yeah, I didn't like that part of the recipe either. :) That's why I have to modify them to my own tastes. I mean, 3/4 tablespoon of garlic powder for 18 pounds of beef? You can't even taste it then! Its a good thing I borrowed the recipe for home - feeding two! :)
