NUTELLA AND BANANA CREPES by Linda Tay Esposito

Making a crepe is not as intimating as one would think. You can make these crepes for breakfast or as a snack. You can stuff the crepes with sweet or savory filling, or for the classic french crepe, some lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar. Remember not to overmix the batter and letting the batter rest and you will be assured of a…

Buttered Brussels Sprouts by Amanda Natividad

Brussels sprouts get a bad rap. Opponents of the vegetable swear it tastes like metal. Or worse, like feet. But when coated with the right vinaigrette, flash fried, or sautéed, Brussels sprouts have a complex richness, an earthy savoriness that fills your mouth. There’s nothing like it.

Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala by Denise

I love chicken marsala but I hate the clean up. Just as tasty as tradition Marsala.

French Bread by Traditional Yeast Method (no bread machine) by Salad Foodie

Experimenting with several ways to get a good loaf of French bread without using my bread machine, I am ready to share this version over all I tried. It has a chewy crust and a beautiful fine grain. While my bread machine version (see "Useful Links" below) takes only about 5 minutes of active chef time, this recipe requires perhaps 35…

Broiled Flounder Amandine by B Innes

Delicious fish with a wonderful nutty lemony butter sauce.

Apple Brie Appetizer Soup by Sara Gray

Well, this appetizer soup certainly surprised me! It's reminiscent of a Brie appetizer that's garnished with apples, but made into a soup appetizer - a new twist on an old theme. Serve your guests this delicious appetizer and they'll want to skip dinner (just kidding!) It's delicate in nature and the riper the Brie cheese, the…

Madeleines by Christine

I had been longing to make madeleines or small French Sponge Cake for quite some time. All this while, I postponed the idea of making madeleines because I could not find the shell shaped molds typically designed for madeleines. I thought I would not be exactly baking madeleines if I didn't bake the cake in pans with shell-shaped…

Fondue - Gouda/Gruyere & Bacon by Michael Chen

A really tasty (albeit decandent) fondue. I've done this for a cocktail party & for an X-mas appetizer. It always goes over well (though if only a few people, it will fill them up). The stirring in figure-eight is important, otherwise, the dipping foods are not (everything goes well dipped in cheese & bacon). How much flour to add…

Chocolate Mousse in Mousse Crust by Farrell May Podgorsek

This is such a fun desset to make and eat. It takes you back to the late 1970's. It makes a nice presentation at the table. It is very rich, but so worth the calories. My husband requests it for his birthday dessert every year.

Mini Quiche by Chef Smith

Most people believe that the quiche originates from France, and it is fair to say that in its traditional form, attributing origin to the French is quite correct. However, prior to French chefs concocting quiche, German chefs made an egg custard pie called kuchen, meaning cake. The German dish was baked in brioche dough, instead of…

Petits Choux au Fromage by Chef Smith

* A savory version of Pate A Choux that many upscale restaurants use as a filler at the beginning of a meal or as an appetizer for those who are waiting for their tables.

New Orleans French Toast by Paula Lenz

New Orleans Style French Toast This is not your typical French toast recipe. This is made New Orleans style using thick slices of bread soaked in a custard batter. The bread is browned lightly in a pan and then baked to a golden brown. This recipe is just one of the countless French-influenced dishes of New Orleans and one of the…
