My parents are from Brooklyn NY (coming from an Aussie this might sound strange) but my parents migrated to Melbourne in the early 1960's. From the age of 7 onwards every summer vacation we would visit...
This is a combination (and adaptation) of 2 kinds of chilis from Easy Home Cooking's All New Slow Cooker cookbook. It's not a very liquidy chili and it sticks to your ribs. The ground turkey helps make...
This upgraded version of a classic bean salad features the rich Spanish flavors of smoked paprika and marcona almonds, balanced by the bright freshness of parsley and celery.
Ditch the unhealthy luncheon meats and opt for this spread full of vegetable protein. This version doesn't have any garlic or onion so it works well in an office "brown-bag" lunch. But if you are feeling...
This is my favourite version of a British classic. You can't beat beans on toast for a quick, cheap meal! It is important to use Heinz baked beans or some other brand that uses tomato sauce as the base,...
My uncle was the fish smoker in the family until he passed away. No longer are we treated to his wonderful smoked fish. During one conversation I said "heaven forbid" but what if? His answer to my recipe...
This is probably the best swordfish I've ever tried. The presentation is great as well, because the salsa is so colourful. This great recipe was printed from the Internet sometime ago (sorry, it's been...
Brothy, spicy soup with big chunks of chicken breasts. Recipe modified from a low-carb recipe to omit or substitute hard-to-find ingredients (at least hard to find at my grocery store). I ate it along...
This is based on a recipe from the cookbook that came with my KitchenAid mixer. The introduction states, "Fresh scallops and mushrooms simmered in a light but spicy tomato sauce," and "When selecting scallops,...
This is an excellent fish coating for deep fried fish. We have annual fish fries at our summer camp with all the pickerel (walleye) we catch and this is always a big hit. We use this same coating to coat...
Got this out of quick cooking years ago and it is a really easy, fast tasting meal. Tastes like a pot pie :) Also you can sub turkey for chicken and I use already cooked cubed chicken and it's great on...
This is a mild soup that I love to make near Thanksgiving--it's easy to make, filling, but not heavy. It takes well to added spices. From the November 2000 issue of "Bon Appetit", it can be made one day...
This recipe for Soy Pickled Garlic is fool-proof, and the longer you leave it to mature, the better the flavour. This recipe came from an Aussie magazine called Super Food Ideas.
This recipe was in the latest (Fall 2005) edition of Kraft What's cooking. It looks so tempting and is so easy to make. Prep time 5 minutes. Make your traditional stuffing and have this as a lighter side...
This pairs with Recipe #460246, very nicely, also from Cuisine at Home magazine. Start boiling the pasta before making the roulades, then finish the orzo dish while the chicken simmers.
