Gramma Lund's Limpa Bread

Gramma Lund's Limpa Bread by Amos Miller

My paternal grandfather emigrated to the US in 1912 bringing with him his mother's family recipe for the incredibly delicious - almost cake-like - limpa of the southern Swedish countryside. I looked at every recipe for Swedish Limpa Bread on the C-E-S site. None of them are family recipes, although there is a rye bread recipe, it's…

Cajun Bread Pudding with Praline Sauce

Cajun Bread Pudding with Praline Sauce by Amos Miller

The Praline Sauce is a stand-alone that will add depth and excitement to any cake or pudding, but it marries perfectly with this Cajun-inspired recipe. This is a dish that I have served hundreds of times and is always a favorite - so much so that folks often ask for a serving or two 'to go'. Easy ingredients, easy to prepare.…

SHANGHAINESE LION’S HEAD

SHANGHAINESE LION’S HEAD by Linda Tay Esposito

They call it Lion's Head because the meatballs are ye big with manes of soft, tender napa cabbage...looking like a lion. Seriously, in Shanghai, the meatballs are the size of a tennis ball - let's call that a quarter pounder meatball. Slowly braise or steam to get a tender, melt-in-your-mouth meatballs. If you have a small…

Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs

Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs by Amos Miller

A perfect appetizer, great hot or cold, and can be easily made the day before the party in a large crock pot. All you’ll need is toothpicks and tiny plates! I’ve built upon an interesting recipe I found for meatballs with a teriyaki sauce and the inclusion of, yes, dried cranberries. This was so tasty when I first made my…

Aunt Violet's Swedish Rye Bread

Aunt Violet's Swedish Rye Bread by Amos Miller

Swedes have always made hearty, highly flavored breads and rye always seems to play a part, the foundation for many avenues of baking exploration. Aunt Violet was one of my paternal grandfather's sisters. This is her recipe 'from home'. It seems each of the 7 Moller children brought fragments of family recipes with them through…

MALAYSIAN FISH BALLS

MALAYSIAN FISH BALLS by Linda Tay Esposito

Bouncy meatballs! My good aunt, Shirley, shared this recipe with me - her secret ingredient is to add the egg (you must stir in in one directions, she says) to make the fish ball puff up during frying. The skin then collapses to a chewy bite, while the meat inside remains bouncy. Very few people really make this at home anymore…

THAI KHAO TOM MOO

THAI KHAO TOM MOO by Linda Tay Esposito

Thailand's breakfast for champions. A comfort food, the soup makes a wonderful meal. Besides being a popular breakfast item in Thailand (hold the bacon, give me pork balls!), it is also their version of chicken soup for the days when one is under the weather.

Moroccan Bread

Moroccan Bread by Amos Miller

It is interesting to me that one of my grandfathers, a West Virginian who lived at the end of Horsemill Hollow, always referred to bread as 'the staff of life'. As anyone who has traveled to North Africa knows, bread is a special food, treated with the utmost respect and central to every meal. My Mountaineer gramps would have much…

Old Fashion Chicken Tetrazzini

Old Fashion Chicken Tetrazzini by J. Gino Genovesi

Chicken Tetrazzini has been around for many years; a good hardy and very nourishing meal for both the small and large family. It was always a delight, in my family, when my mother made this dish. I have made some changes from the original recipe, but you will delight in its taste. Legend has it that chicken Tetrazzini was created…

Old-fashioned Icebox Rolls

Old-fashioned Icebox Rolls by myra byanka

Make the dough and keep it in the reefer for up to a week. Bake rolls when you want fresh ones. I usually let the dough stay in the fridge a few days for extra good flavor.
