Pizzelle, Anise FlavorThe word Pizzelle is an Italian word which loosely means small, flat and round. They are wafer-type cookies which originated in the region of Abruzzi, Italy and known to exist as far back as the 8th Century. Pizzelles were originally baked on double-sided irons embossed with the family crest. The irons usually had long handles… |

Favorite Thin Crust Pizza SupremeHomemade pizza for us means thin crust, preferably whole grain, a sparse smear of pizza sauce plus meats, cheese and veggie toppings. This is the recipe we’ve made for eons, developed over time to our taste by trial and error. The crust is thin yet firm enough to hold both the toppings and its shape without flopping when eaten. We… |

The name comes from the Danish "apple slices" because that was used predominantly as the filling. Batter is poured into a heated æbleskiver pan to cook, with an optional filling of fruit or raisins promptly… |

Lorraine Pascale's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Zebra CakeI love making cakes that are a bit different but with cakes I always seem to revert back to my old favourites. I will always experiment with cupcakes, but cakes? No. Don't ask why, I think I just like the traditional choices and flavours such a Lemon Drizzle or Victoria Sponge (although I am a sucker for anything with jam!) One… |

German Rouladen (beef rolls )I love German food !! This is time consuming to make and you will be in the kitchen for quite a while. So it is a great rainy day dish. Prep time for me is about 1 1/2 to 2hr and I am a Chef. The first time I did this about 20 years ago it took me 6 hr. to get it all done. That is cooking time also and it was at home. Spend the time… |

Cotechino con lenticchieNo Italian New Year's celebration would be complete without this dish of a delicious pork sausage served with lentils. New Year's Eve for Italians—like so many other holidays—is marked by a large, festive meal, often an elegant seafood dinner, called the cenone di San Silvestro or cenone di Capodanno, the word 'cenone' being Italian… |

Arroz Con Leche BruleeI don’t think I realized how delicious arroz con leche was until I was in Spain last month. We had SO MUCH of it there, and I didn’t come across a single version that I didn’t like. My favorite was definitely at a restaurant called El Ñeru, where they actually bruleed the top. This is my at home recreation of it. |
