An amazingly moist and tasty rhubarb cake. The applesauce and yogurt really made the cake super moist and delicious. Considering it's a butter or oil free cake, when I had my first piece, I realized that you really didn't need any butter or oil. All the ingredients were just perfectly balanced, the cake was absolutely a winner!

A coffee fudge popsicle recipe asked for condensed milk that I didn't have on hand, but I did have a few cans of evaporated milk sitting in the pantry. Then I made my very first condensed milk, it came out surprisingly delicious, and those coffee fudge popsicles were absolutely the best on this planet.

Instead of baking in the oven, I cooked it in a skillet. Browned the onions with a bit olive oil and garlic first, next browned carrots and celeries; then added remaining ingredients, brought to a boil, and simmered for about 30 minutes. Very tasty and filling, I had it with a few warm corn tortillas. Yum!

This is the first time I have ever made bread in my life, and this recipe was really easy. I made both a long loaf and a round one and they both turned out great. Nice chewy crust on the outside and soft on the inside, and great flavor. I'm no longer intimidated of the thought of making bread. Thanks so much, great recipe!!

Made this impossible garden vegetable pie for lunch today , and it was cheesy and delicious. I browned the onions first for about 5 minutes, put the broccoli and bell peppers into the pan, and cooked for another 2 minutes to develop more flavors. Then followed the recipe, and it came out golden-brown on the top, very moist and tasty.

Love Korean food since I was in the university, kimchee is definitely one of my favorites, and any time go to a Korean restaurant, kimchee is one of the side dishes I must order, no question. Finally, the first time I made my own kimchee, and it turned out as good as the ones I had at any restaurant, here the recipe is!

Found this recipe in donna hay magazine, and I just happened to have all the ingredients this recipe called for. I did make a few changes and cook it differently. The frittata came out delicious, but next time I will cook it on the stove top first to give a nicely browed bottom, then broil at the last a few minutes.

This baked egg in a portobello mushroom makes a fantastic healthy breakfast. It’s so easy to make, delicious and really nourishing too. We’ve added a sprinkle of nutritional yeast to the top of my mushrooms, which gives a similar taste to cheese (but it’s far more nutritious). It’s important to heat the mushrooms in the grill first as this will prevent them from going soggy.

Double-frosted brownies: fudgy chocolate brownies topped with a creamy cooked fondant frosting, then crowned with melted unsweetened chocolate. Three layers, three textures, serious chocolate intensity.

Ostrich, firstly, is actually a very tasty meat. It tastes somewhat like chicken...lol! Ok, it doesn't taste like chicken, but I couldn't resist the temptation. It is a very lean meat, possibly more lean than beef (therefore a fairly good alternative for those on some form of low cholesterol diet).And lastly, and most importantly, this cut of meat is an inexpensive alternative to the more luxurious ox tail that we seem to reserve for graduations and wedding rehearsals.

I love instant foods, because it makes life so simple and provides yummy dish while we are so hungry. When thinking about instant recipes, the first thing which comes to my mind is Pancakes.This is one of that instant variety..It is a popular rajasthani recipe…Typically it is served with green chutney or tamarind chutney along with a toast on the side.The meal was so good and I couldn’t stop myself from eating it.Everyone loved it .

I had this Greek pastry for the first time in a restaurant and I was not overly thrilled with it. So when I ran across this recipe and saw how easy is was to make I decided to try it. I liked my version much better, which will no doubt cause an uproar. So to anyone who has tried this dessert I want you to make this one and let me know if you like it, maybe it tastes nothing like it is suppose to.

In celebration of St Patrick’s day we’ve created this scrumptious colcannon stuffed and shamrock shaped ravioli recipe, that’s accompanied by a delectable saffron and sun-dried tomato oil to top the dish off. You’ll certainly feel like you’ve got the luck of the Irish if you try it. If you’re wondering how the shamrock originally became associated, well according to Irish legend, Saint Patrick used the three-leafed plant as a metaphor for the Holy Trinity when he was first introducing Christianity to Ireland.

"Lobster Newberg. Also "lobster a la Newburg"...The dish was made famous at Delmonico's Restaurant in New York in 1876 when the recipe was brought to chef Charles Ranhofer by a West Indies sea captain named Ben Wenberg. It was an immediate hit, especially for after-theater suppers, and owner Charles Delmonico honored the capatain by naming the dish "lobster a la Wenberg." But later Wenberg and Delmonico had a falling-out, and the restauranteur took the dish off the menu, restoring it only by popular demand by renaming it "lobster a la Newberg," reversing the first three letters of the captain's name.

So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo. The meal I speak of is Cottage Pie. There is much debate as to what exactly a cottage pie is and how it is different to a Shepherd’s pie...I don’t know. The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:

German chocolate cake layered with gooey caramel, chocolate chips, and nuts for a candy bar-inspired dessert that tastes like Snickers in cake form.
