I made oreo cheesecake a while ago and I just can't find that recipe anymore. I found it at nabisco.com. It wasn't baked. It didn't call for a pre made pie crust, but I made it by crushishing oreos. I don't think it had eggs. Whipped cream, philly cheese, oreos, sugar is what I remember. If...

I have made a dough for making focaccia bread in the morning. Can I leave the dough out overnight or does it need to be refigerated? (It's about 70 degrees here) Will the results be as good as the one made immediately? We are not used to the idea of storing dough and mom makes fresh chapati...

I bought a packet of corn flour thinking I'd make tortillas from scratch and have some bean and chicken wraps for dinner. I mad the dough and rolled out the tortillas but they just wouldn't stay! They kept tearing apart. The dough felt like it wasn't well bound so I added a bit of wheat flour...

I usually top my brownies with walnuts. I wanted to try topping them with chocolate chips. I sprinkled them on when the brownies when half done. I wasn't quite sure when to put them. I thought if I put them too early they'd melt or worse they'd burn and I'd be left with bitter brownies! When I...

I always made the kind of cookies that just need to be dropped on to the bakng sheet. I recently saw cookie cutters in cute shapes and picked them up. I was wondering if they can be used only for certain types of cookies (the ones that don't spread too much). How do I know by looking at the...
