Alfredo is not an Italian invention. You will never find it anywhere in a restaurant in Italy except for touristy places that cater to Americans. Same with spaghetti and meat balls. That's another American invention. Having said that cook and eat what you like!

I love chestnuts, and I remember my mother making cookies and cake from these wonderful chestnuts we got fresh from the supermarket. HELP!

I eat it like celery. Get a dip or simply a vinaigrette, Dip it and bite. I like large chunks (celery stalk size) cause you can taste the full flavor better that way. When I was a kid, mum used to always put it in the salad along with tomatoes and lettuce. I always fished out the fennel. Love it!

To put it simply. She is a racist of great proportions. She is an anachronism that needs to be condemned not celebrated. It wasn;t just the use of the N word it was how she would have liked to see black men in tuxedos serving food "like in the old plantation days." And goes on from there...

Can you share the Danish web site?

In preparation for tomorrow's celebration, today's NYT food section was devoted to pies. Inside there is an article about all the features that make a better apple pie. Apple slice structure, thickening, gluten, temperature, amount of butter, etc... So I was wondering if you had the "Best Apple...

Check this out from my friend Pierino Gaufres de Lieges (Belgian waffles from Lieges) recipe from Food52

I baked a Pan di Spagna with two tiers of vanilla and chocolate pastry cream (Genovese cream) each section bathed in Alchermes liquor. It is a version of Torta d Italia.

Well obviously. But there is at least one way that it is done in Cuba and another done in Massachusetts. I was just wondering if anyone knew the original recipe or ow it is prepared in Cuban kitchens.

I love this dish. I've seen versions of this recipe including Epicurious. Some have olives and peppers and some use dry sherri others vinegar. I wonder what the original Cuban recipe calls for. CraigC? The Venezuelan version of this is Carne mechada is also very good but not as savory. Not...

Can't say that I've ever had them with sweet or fruit stuffing. Are you talking about Colombian or Venezuelan style? The Colombian dough is yellow and I believe it is not corn meal based. But I may be wrong.

They are excellent. These are main staple for Venezuelans and replace bread at the table. Basically precooked corn meal flour water and sometimes a tad of butter makes the arepa very tasty. Has the texture of baked polenta though a bit more consistent and is used with all kinds of filling...

I love this dish. It is also done in Venezuela under carne mechada. Similar but with different veggies on it... Anyone have a different recipe?

Any recipes !?

Yes, many times. My relatives are in Marche, but we have trekked all around. Have to say Bologna is one of my favorite cities for its food, people, and architecture. It is not as frequented as, say, Firenze, but it is a beautiful city. I haven't been on this board for a while but I see you...

Mmmmmm. Excelente!

The best I can cook is Sancocho, a hearty soup with caribbean yams, plantains, beef, chicken, and various herbs and veggies. You can google the recipe for it. It is called the resurector of dead people, as it is delicious and filling. I also like Ropa Vieja, a take off on an old Spanish dish...

Ai provato gnocchi ripieni di gorgonzola? gnam!!!!

Bravo Luca! Mi fa ricordare da i spaghetti al tonno e alici, senza pomodori... Babbo mangiava delle scattole di acciugue una alla volta! Excellent! Dad used to eat whole cans of anchovies at a time, prior to eating spaghetti with tuna and anchovies... The smell went for miles...

Margi, Apulia is the Spanish translation of Puglia - the actual name of the region. All the same. Salute!

Margi, Don't forget Campania and the wonderful food from Naples including the famous Sunday sauce. Sicily is also about olives and peppers (caponata?), the deserts are also wonderful (cassata siciliana?) and frittarelli from Naples are awesome... Now you got me all Pavlovian with a watering...
