It has been a while I have been on this site so I thought I'd share a recipe that I just made that some of you may enjoy especially if you like Indian food. It's homey and comfy and a whole meal. You can make several components ahead of time and freeze them and then viola incorporate them last...

So I tried this cheese about a month ago and I absolutely love it. I now keep it in my fridge for a quick snack. It's not low in fat and calories but I love to have a small portion of it with some fruit as a snack. I brought mine at Whole Foods. It's originally from Europe but Wisconsin...

Every year I make a whole turkey with fixings for Thanksgiving. This year I am passing on making a big bird and opting to go for a Turkey breast instead. I already purchased it and I need help and tips on how to keep it moist. There is nothing worse than a dry turkey and given the breast...

Since we not only discuss food but also life on this board, I need help with a change that is looming on the horizon. I need some advice from those of you who live in the suburbs of Houston. We may be contemplating a move to Houston and I don't know much about the area. I have two kids (8...

Hi Folks, Can someone please share their favorite sweet potato souffle or some other recipe with me. Just like every year this year too I am hosting Thanksgiving at my house. I always get nominated. As always I am pretty much making everything. I used help from Costco for my appetizers...

I am trying to replicate a recipe I had over the weekend and need some help. It was made with dates and was catered from someone who does not give out their recipes as it's their trade secret. The custard had a middle eastern flair and had a lot of dates (soaked in milk or water and then...

I found this interesting so I wanted to share it with my fellow forum members: 10 Questions for Anthony Bourdain - TIME

I may be hosting Thanksgiving again this year at my house. It will be for about 25 to 30 guests and I like to keep it informal/buffet style. I will either make the turkey or cater it. I normally make it but this time around things are busy and I have my kids and some other kids to take...

I made this over the weekend for a party. Since this is the first time I made (read experimented) it I wanted my guest to try it prior to posting the recipe. I wanted to take a picture because it was so pretty but it was almost all gone in a matter of little time:smile: . Here is the...

I have been looking at the Waring Pro and Broil King Buffet Servers. They can be plugged into an electrical outlet and temperature can be controlled just like a warming drawer. I like the compactness but am wondering about capacity and durability. Can anyone please share their experiences...

Hello forum friends. I just conculded a two plus week vacation to the fascinating country of Egypt and wanted to share my experiences with you. We started our trip in London where we stayed for two days and enjoyed the holiday ambience in the city. We enjoyed delicious Lebanese food at our...

Has anyone on this forum been to Cairo Eygpt. We are planning a trip there in two weeks and I was curious if anyone can share any tips (travel and food or otherwise) for this city. We will be in Eygpt for a total of 10 days and plan to visit Cairo, Alexandria and Luxor. Given it's the first...

Hello folks, I just came back after a month long business trip to India. I went back after 13 years and tried to savor as much as I could of the local food there. I started my trip in Mumbai and the hotel served delicious Indian fare for breakfast along with juices such as sweet lime...

I made this dish last Friday and it came out so good that I had to share. I have some members of my family who lived in Rangoon, Burma for a few years (including my father) and this is very popular recipe that they savor. It's pronounced " Khausa" Ingredients: Lean Beef approx 1.5 pounds...

I went to the butcher shop today and bought a large hunk of prime beef round. I got half of it sliced into super thin slices and the rest into cubes for kabobs. I am looking for ideas on rolled beef entrees. They have sliced it almost paper thin and they are long enough to roll. I was...

I am traveling to Kauai on Wednesday and I wanted to see if anyone has been there recently (in the past year or two) and can give me suggestions on restaurants. We are staying near the Poipu area initially and then in Princeville and would like not to eat everyday at the resort but try some...

Ever wonder why most of these are made at the expense of a woman. :smile: A husband was in big trouble when he forgot his wife's birthday. His wife told him "Tomorrow there better be something in the driveway for me that goes zero to 200 in 2 seconds flat". The next morning the wife...

Since it's starting to get chilly in the midwest I normally make this halva which though extremely rich is a comfort food for most Indians. It takes some effort but once you eat it you get hooked on it. It's that wonderful. So for any of you who are adventurous to try an Indian dessert go for...

A couple of us are throwing a baby shower for my sister in law and I have decided to go with a Southwestern theme menu. Since the guests will arrive around noon I want to make this a lunch affair with a substantial menu. Most guests who will visit don't eat Pork (more a cultural/religious...

I have made this version several times with rave reviews. It has no eggs and does not use mascarpone or marasala wine. I have shared it before but wanted to repost it once more. I make two versions of this - traditional and tropical. Now with summer around the corner the tropical one is a...

Since there are some people here who like Indian food I thought I would shared this recipe. It uses eggs in place of meat or veggies and is really very good. Eggs - 6 large boiled, peeled and each cut into two halves lengthwise Ingredients for curry: 2 medium onions finely diced 4 medium...

My husband is an avid fan of pot roast. Since I am not a huge red meat fan ( I always lean in favor of fish or chicken) I had never tried pot roast until last week. The meat was very tender (took a tiny bite) and I absolutely was bowled over by the gravy. It was deep, rich and full of...

I really like to mix and match flavors from various cuisines. Does anyone know if there is a good site or books I can consult on this. I am not into Ming Tsai (East meets West) but others if anyone has any suggestions. I would also appreciate any fusion recipes that people can share...

I made this bread over the weekend and thought I should share it with my fellow food enthusiasts. Since I am Indian and we normally spice everything up there are a chockful of flavors in this flatbread. 2 cups of fine semolina (the kind you use to make pasta) 1 cup of wheat flour 1/2 cup of all...

I have consulted so many sources and found a lot of differing opinions on this. I thought I'd check with the experts on this forum as well on their thoughts. What is your golden rule for a nice looking and browned turkey. Do you crank up your oven to 500 degrees as Alton suggests and then...
