Roast Garlic Chicken...mmmmmmm Chefjune, your recipe sounds like the "proper" version of one I used to make for my college students way back when I was a frat house chef-- I took four or five whole chickens and about three pounds of peeled garlic cloves, drizzled some olive oil in the large...

Jeni78 The gadget is basically a sort of radiant heat/convection cooker. The top has a heating element and a fan, and the food sits in the bottom on a rack to drain grease, etc, and it's all contained in a plastic see-through thingy. Judging from the picture in that post and the one I...

flavorwave--bah humbug! I bought one of those things and mailed it back within two days! What a waste of time and money! The small chicken I put in it burned on the top and was raw in the middle. I went back to my trusty enamel roasting pan and have been much happier. I spray it with Pam...

You're welcome! When I get home tonight, I'll try to find the actual recipe I used and post it for you. It's quite easy and good.

For a classical assembly for Tiramisu, I open all the packages of my boudoir biscuits(champagne biscuits/ladyfingers--they have so many names--but are all thin crispy finger cookies, very light and eggy),I mix up a quart measure(my pyrex glass measuring cup) of 2c strong espresso and 1/2 c...

Thanks you all for your replies! Sadly, I can't remember anything about the color or design of the package other than it was a tube, it was 20 years ago after all! My memory of the taste may be off as well, but I think not. Ishbel, the nicecupofteaandasitdown site is wonderful, and I will...

Here's my mom's version--the wheat germ makes the crust delicately crispy, too! You can make it without, but it's soo good with! Zucchini Bread 3 eggs 1 c oil 2 1/2 c sugar 2 c grated raw zucchini 1/2 c raisins 2 tsp cinnamom 1 tsp salt 1 tsp soda 1/4 tsp powder 3 c flour 1 c ch walnuts...

In general, bar chocolates melt more smoothly than chips because the chips contain emulsifiers that help them keep their shape when you bake them into a cookie. The better the chocolate, and the darker, the more cocoa butter, the more smoothly it will melt. Milk chocolate for instance has all...

About 20 years ago, I traveled through England and Wales, and in various rest stops on the highways in little convenience stores and the like I bought little packages of cookies. They came in a tube shaped package, and were only about 8 or 10 sandwich cookies in the pack. The unique thing...

It's funny how urban legends do change and mutate--this recipe is identical to one that came as the secret recipe for Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookie--same sort of story, a disgruntled employee, or just a greedy one(the story varies) sold the recipe for $100, $400, $1000, take your...

I think the key might be that you used all your ingredients from the beginning. It might work better to cook the tomatoes first until they are all soft and mushy. When I make sauce I cook my onions and celery until just softening, add garlic and cook until all soft, then add the (cooked or...

Thanks! Thanks very much for the recipes! They sound yummy!

I used to have a recipe for these great cookies, but can't find it anywhree. They had nuts and raisins, cereal(like cornflakes) and lots of other stuff--you could almost live on them! Anyone have a recipe?
