Giacchino Rossini a great italian composer spent most of his years in Paris, he became not only the most famous musician of his day but also a friend of Antonin Car?me, a celebrated chef at the time, who mentioned that Rossini was the only being who really understood him. Car?me would send Rossini a p?t? to Bologna and the latter in return would write arias for him. The composer?s favourite dish, very popular, at the time, seems to have been turkey stuffed with truffles. Legend has it that Rossini shed tears only three times in his life: the first time after the fiasco of his first opera; the second when he heard N 7/2/2008 Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies 7/2/2008 Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies 7/2/2008 Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies 7/2/2008 Country Home Style Quiche Made more glamorous with the addition of gruyere and prosciutto, this quiche is smart enough to be presented to guests and satisfying enough to be served for a family meal. 7/2/2008 Ricotta Cheese Baked with Roasted Tomatoes and Bacon Breakfast or brunch like a champion with this delicious baked ricotta dish.

As well as muffin recipes, brioches and recipes with quark-oil-dough e.g. used for making Stutenkerlchen (manikin shaped cookie served especially around Christmas time) You'll find separate categories for Christmas cookies, cream cakes, cakes with fruit and shortbread. The size of the baking dish is stated in every recipe. I also use small baking pans very often, enough for three people. Just double the recipe if you like to use a larger size. Normally the baking time stays the same. If you like to loose weight but won't pass on a piece of cake it's better to go with a piece of tray-baked apple cake instead of cream cake. Muffins are ideal because you can prepare small amounts and they are also low-fat. In 7/1/2008 Fried Catfish and Hushpuppies My version of good old Southern Fried Catfish and Hushpuppies really hit the spot last night . Sometimes, the only thing that will cool your craving is a whole plate of fried food, tonight was one of those nights. I used a medium grind corn meal, and I wish I hadn,t. The only downfall of the whole meal. Those large grains just don?t seem to get cooked through enough during the short frying time. Wondra flour (gold medal brand) is what is known as an instant flour, used for thickening sauces and gravies. It?s wonderful for frying because it absorbs so much liquid and makes the finished product ultra crispy. Fried Catfish Recipe with Hushpuppies and Creole Tartar Sauce 7/1/2008 Poppy Seed Chicken #2 7/1/2008 Three Jambalaya Recipes A True New Orleans Special I made Jambalaya for dinner tonight and it really hit the spot, it?s one of my favorite one pot meals. Here I used Crawfish and my homemade Tasso which added a nice smoky flavor. You could easily substitute a good quality ham for the Tasso, and Shrimp for the Crawfish in this recipe. I also used Creole Sauce in this recipe which is my absolute favorite sauce in the wide world, it?s so versatile. This was truly one of the tastiest Jambalayas that I?ve made, or had for that matter. 7/1/2008
