Spiced Persimmon Bread

Handle

Select One

2 Reviews | By blucoat

Select One

A wonderful, moist, sweet, and flavourful loaf that is a nice alternative to banana or pumpkin bread. It's great with coffee on a winter morning or as an afternoon snack. I think this would make really good muffins, as well. Be sure to only use soft and ripe persimmons. From "Diana's Desserts".

Vegetable Soup With Cornmeal Dumplings

Handle

Select One

1 Reviews | By blucoat

Select One

An easy and healthy vegetarian soup/main dish from the magazine, "Better Homes and Gardens". This is to be made in a crock-pot (slow cooker). I haven't tried it yet, but I think the corn dumblings would add a nice extra "something".

Tuscan Lemon Chicken (Skillet or Grill)

Handle

Select One

1 Reviews | By blucoat

Select One

This easy dinner recipe is adapted from "Barefoot Contessa: Back to Basics", by Ina Garten. The chicken gets so tender, it just falls off the bone. Chicken needs to marinate for at least 4 hours, so you can prepare it in the morning (or the evening before) and then just cook before dinner. {The original recipe calls for grilling the chicken. If you want to grill the chicken: Spread 1/4 of the coals across the other side of the grill, place the chicken on the cooler side, skin side up, and weight it down with a heavy dish. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until the underside is golden brown, turn over and weight it again. Cook for another 12-15 minutes. Place the lemon halves on the cool side of the grill in the last 10 minutes of cooking. Remove chicken to a plate and tent with tin foil. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Cut into quarters, sprinkle with salt and serve with grilled lemon halves.} THE CALORIE COUNT FOR THIS RECIPE IS INCORRECT: I used the USDA website to calculate it and it is actually 357 calories per serving.

This sweet and mild salsa goes exceptionally well with the Cumin-Scented Beet Latkes recipe I posted on this site. Both are from Bon Appétit Magazine (December 2004).

This is a great alternative to traditional potato latkes. You can serve these on Hannukah or all year round. Pair this with with "Apple, Green Onion, and Jalapeño Salsa" (I've posted the recipe). It's an outstanding combination. These recipes are from Bon Appétit Magazine (December 2004). (Latkes can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 350°F oven on a baking sheet until crisp, about 10 minutes.)

From the cookbook, "The Spirit of Christmas", published by Leisure Arts. You can buy the white, medium, or dark chocolate disks at your local grocery store, either in the bulk section, bakery area, or baking aisle.

Vegan Gingerbread Cut-Out Cookies

Handle

Select One

4 Reviews | By blucoat

Select One

This egg-free and dairy-free recipe for a chewy gingerbread cookie is from Sarah Kramer's cookbook, "La Dolce Vegan!" (2005) and reprinted in today's local paper. For vegan frosting, use five parts icing sugar to one part water, blending until thick. or you can use chocolate peanut butter spread. Dough must chill for 2-4 hours. (While baking the first batch, return the dough to the fridge to chill it so dough doesn't stick to the rolling pin. Allow cookie sheet to cool before reusing.)

This is an almost healthy cake that has loads of veggies (carrots, parsnip, zucchini), some whole wheat flour, no oil, and is still deliciously moist and sweet. Kids will eat this without complaint! You can also make little cupcakes with these. (If you want to make the original version, replace the applesauce and buttermilk with 1/2 cup oil and cook a little longer.) The original recipe is from the "Edible Seattle" magazine (Oct. 2008).

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Handle

Select One

1 Reviews | By blucoat

Select One

These are crisp on the surface with a soft and gooey centre. These are great for the holiday season as the white powdered sugar contrasts dramatically with the deep brown chocolate crevices and they look as though they are covered in snow. The recipe is from "Bakewise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Baking" by Shirley Corriher. These are Shirley's favourite cookies! She is a food scientist (as well as a cook) thus her recipes are very reliable. The dough needs to be refrigerated for a few hours or overnight. Makes 3 to 5 dozen, depending on size.

Classic Italian Almond Biscotti

Handle

Select One

1 Reviews | By blucoat

Select One

This is a fool-proof, basic recipe for traditional biscotti from Susan Rosso's mother. Rather than baking the cookies twice, place the sliced cookies inside a warm oven for 30 to 60 minutes. This renders the biscotti satisfyingly firm rather than jaw-breakingly hard. (Susan Rosso has a great site called Food Blogga.)

This is so easy yet makes impressive an impressive main dish (especially for brunch). As it bakes, the Gruyère melts into the nutmeg-scented egg and milk mixture, and takes on a light, quiche-like creaminess. From Gourmet Magazine (Dec. 2008).

A great Hanukkah alternative from this month's Gourmet Magazine (Dec. 2008). These are very simple to prepare and lighter than the traditional potato latkah. The more liquid you squeeze out of the zucchini, the better. Serve with sour cream.

These are big, crisp, and slightly crackled cookies, with as much or as little kick as you want (depending on how much pepper you add). The sugar topping makes for a lovely presentation and a great texture contrast. From one of my favourite cookbooks, "Baking: From My Home to Yours", by Dorie Greenspan. These cookies keep well. (Dough must be chilled for at least 30 minutes in the freezer.)

I love this recipe because it is flavourful, satisfying and filling while being vegetarian and healthy. You also don't need any broth or bouillon which is great for those watching their sodium. It's from the cookbook, "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen" by Lucinda Scala Quinn. (She is also a co-host of the "Everyday Food" cooking series on PBS.)

Apple Coffee Cake With Crumble Topping

This is an extremely moist and light coffee cake. The apples and brown sugar give it a wonderful melt-in-your-mouth flavour and the crumble topping is amazing! It's also very easy to prepare. It is modified from an Emeril Lagasse recipe. If you like nuts, you can also add some chopped walnuts, almonds, or pecans to the topping. This is great served warm or at room temperature.

These are really delicious and chocolately drop cookies from the cookbook, "Baked: New Frontiers in Baking" by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito. Dough needs to be refrigerated for at least 6 hours. Don't overbake these—they're at their best when slightly gooey. This recipe can be halved.

This cookie recipe for Linzer Sables require a little effort, but they are so beautiful and tasty. The recipe is from one of my favourite cookbooks, "Baking: From My Home to Yours", by Dorie Greenspan. For a simpler cookie, omit the cutouts, although it does make beautiful cookies. You can dust these with confectioner's sugar just before serving. Both dough and cookies freeze well (without the sugar dusting). Dough requires 45 minute chilling time.
