My father would like me to make him beef wellington. Does anyone have a recipe recommendation? If its from a cookbook, I could likely find it at the local library. Thank you, Anna

I first tasted this interesting meatloaf-substitute at Ananda Fuara, a vegetarian restaurant in San Francisco. The neatloaf (ha ha, Neatloaf) is amazing: juicy, soft, and tasty. I've passed this on...

Anyone eevr make this? I was thinking of trying it. While it looks daunting, I can't see why it takes the reported 3 days to make. Any tips out there? Is it really worth all the effort? I've n...

In the interest of time, last night I decided to mix, in advance, all the dry ingredients for a devil's food cake. I was supposed to add flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. But I honestly can't re...

I made the brine from the Bouchon cookbook (p325) for a roast chicken. The recipe calls for 12 bay leaves, which i thought sounded a little excessive, but that's why they ask for, so i threw it in....

I'm looking for a recipe and technique to whip up a pizza crust at home - very thin, NY style crust with a distinct cracker type bite. Anyone?

I found this in some old posts and finally got around to making it...it is fantastic and so easy to make. Hub has already requested that I make it again. Reducing the sauce to the right consisten...

After reading all of the recent posts on short ribs, I made short ribs for dinner Sunday night. I'm glad I read all of your recommendations, because I cooked the ribs on Saturday, refrigerated the...

So the Super Bowl is right around the corner and I basically use that as an excuse to make a great big pot of chili. There are soooo many recipes out there and so far I have not had the greatest s...

I'm in search of a sore throat soother that doesn't involve store-bought lozenges and syrups. I'll include the two that I've been using since I was a kid, but I wanted to see if other people had mo...
