BASIC YEAST DOUGH FOR STEAMED BUNS by Linda Tay EspositoThis is a recipe for the dough of the fluffy white skins of the char siu bao and the shanghai cabbage buns. It's truly versatile -- you can use the same dough and fill it with sweetened mashed red beans or lotus seeds for a dessert treat.

Dust them with confectioners’ sugar and you have one of the most delicious treats you can think up! Now if… |

Homemade Kitchen Sink Drain Cleaner by myra byankaBasic recipe for unclogging your sink without using expensive commercial drain cleaners. It's not for really serious problems requiring professional help, but it does work very well. Update: to this recipe I added 1/4 cup liquid laundry detergent and cleaned the carpets for 75% less than using carpet shampoo, and it worked great. |

Moules a la Provencale by Ali El SafyOne of our favorite appetizers. Also makes a great meal with fries. I recommend that home chefs get their butcher to clean the mussels before you take them home. Most stores will do this for you. |

Dry Rub Hot Wings by Malcom ReedThis is my favorite hot wing recipes. You can use either fresh or frozen wing sections or whole wings. If the wings are frozen, thaw the wings overnight in the fridge. A good tip here is to leave the wings in their original bag but place them in a large bowl because they will leak. |

Texas Chuck Wagon Chili (with Venison or Beef) by Amos MillerI originally made this with chuck roasts that I would trim out and dice into 1/4 inch cubes. Yes, you will form a blister or two - but it is well worth it. In 1987, this chili, I'm pleased to say, was judged best by members of the Chicago Fire Department in a Chicago Chili Cookoff. This is truly a Texas Chuck Wagon Chili: no… |

Pork w/ Apple, Onion & Hard Cider Sauce by Amos MillerLeaves turning, cooler breezes blowing - time for a comforting pork roast with onions, apples and hard cider. This is a deceptively simple dish that Claire Robinson turned me on to, and is loaded with country flavors. The hard cider reduces down to a savory sauce after Granny Smith apples and sliced onions are caramelized. A very… |

MALAYSIAN CURRY POWDER by Linda Tay EspositoI re-created this recipe based on the memory of smell (oui, Rémy!) of the aroma in my late grandmother's house as she roasted curry powder. My grandmother roasted curry powder in a wok 1-yard in diameter, over a charcoal stove, and had all of us - her grandkids - tightly packed the spice mix into recycled glass ketchup bottles which… |
