Low Calorie, Quick and Delish, Coq au Vin by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This is a wonderful low calorie and low fat version of the French classic. It’s so easy and straightforward. I’ve served it many times and everyone loves it. My version uses white wine instead of red wine, which creates a lighter tasting sauce and is cooked on the stove top instead of the oven. The skinny on one serving is 234…

Caponata by Farrell May Podgorsek

Caponata is traditionally served as an antipasto with toasted baguette slices or crackers. It is savory, with a touch of sweetness from the raisins and salt from the olives and capers. You can also use it as a pasta or pizza topping. This is one of the most popular appetizers I serve. The recipe doubles well and it freezes…

Tantalizing Baked Lemon Pesto Mushrooms Casserole by Blackswan

This sourish pesto appetizer, using a mix of mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, is so easy to prepare and is definitely for the novice cooks!

Victoria Sponge by Gina Geremia

I decided to make the cake how I would want it, by using a blend of fresh raspberries and strawberries mixed together with a blend of raspberry and strawberry jam and topped with a stabilized whipped cream, rather than just strawberry jam and a buttercream frosting. The result? To die for! Word on the street was that it was the best…

Semolina Pizza Dough by Peter Miller

This is very similar to my NY Style Pizza Dough which John Spottiswood posted, but I think adding the Semolina dough gives it a little more texture and flavor. This is really good with tomato based pizzas.

Boeuf a la Bourguignon (adapted for the Slow Cooker from Julia Child) by Steve Peterson

Turkey Lasagna with Spinach and Mushrooms by Salad Foodie

Red, green and white, the perfect Italian flag colors, make this lasagna as pretty as it is delicious. It’s a pleaser at potlucks, or makes a generous amount for the family, with leftovers. A nice dish to prepare the night before, and pop in oven next day.

Rotini with Pesto, Tomatoes and Spinach by Salad Foodie

My friend's daughter tasted this last year on a vacation and dubbed it the "Best Pasta Ever." I'll go along with her on that! It's a healthy and colorful vegetarian pasta dish that will serve 6 generously, or make heaped platefuls for 4 ravenous diners! I started with the recipe the chef gave her, but it was just a list of…

Vanilla Fudge by Lorenda Beumont

This is a smooth, creamy fudge that makes a good base if you want to experiment with flavourings. It is less temperamental than those made with cream. Before, I used to make fudge using condensed milk, but now I only make this recipe.

Pasta and Veggies by ShaleeDP

I always seek for pasta recipes, this is a good one for me. Veggies and pasta together. I love it!

Homemade Basil Pesto by Hina Gujral

If you love Italian food, you have to love the magic sauce that can take even the most mundane pasta to the level of a sublime dish. Every Italian family has their own secret recipe of Pesto, which is been passed on from generation to another as a legacy. The one rule for making this magic green sauce is that there are no rules, use…

Rice and Crab salad fast and easy! by Helenscooking

This salad recipe is good with crab meat and shrimps (or you can use both), corn adds sweetness to the salad, rice works as the base of this salad. You can cook it without rice if you wish, but I prefer it with rice, and herbs (dill and parsley, or just dill) are important. This recipe appeared in my cookbook, when we lived in…

Sauvignon Blanc Clams & Mussels Pot by Blackswan

Few weeks back, I'd joined more than 100 Singapore Bloggers to #CookForFamily! This Clams & Mussels Pot was one of the dishes I'd made. That day, the Californian Sauvignon Blanc from Woodbridge was going at 50% off, & I got it for only S$20! Be warned! The soupy dish is highly addictive!
