Recipe Sifter

A simple and succulent pasta dish that is the perfect meal to enjoy while watching the evening news.

This prosciutto, fontina and sun-dried tomato tart was brilliant. The combination of these three ingredients and the buttery-crispy puff pastry was absolutely delicious!

If you love shrimp, you will love this dish that is served with a creamy and savory sauce.

Turned out well, quick and easy to make. I used pepper jack cheese instead of fontina. Try adding some white wine to the skillet you used to brown the chicken breasts to deglaze the pan to gather up those tasty brown bits and serve with the resulting jus.

Forget Dutch apple pie and go Norwegian instead. This easy apple pie recipe is quick; as in ready in 30 minutes, all in one-pan quick. Add a scoop of ice cream while it's still warm and your hankering is satisfied in a jiffy without muss or fuss.

Just the thing to nibble with a cup of mulled wine or hot spiced apple cider, these simple, versatile crackers also lend themselves beautifully to cheeses, dips, and spicy spreads.

Rolled sugar cookies seasoned with ground mace, a warmer, floral cousin to nutmeg. The colonial-era twist on a basic cutout cookie. Yields three dozen.

Chocolate mayonnaise loaf cake is a Depression-era American classic with an unbelievably moist crumb. The mayo (which is just eggs and oil) replaces butter and eggs in this fudgy 8-ingredient bake.

Have been making this chocolate fudge pudding cake for years, so chocolaty, and it never disappoints us. Fudge and pudding like texture well satisfies the sweet tooth.

Both cherries and ricotta cheese give the muffins super moist texture, fruity and creamy flavor. Fresh or frozen cherries, either of them will work well.

YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! Forget buying canned cream of chicken soup, this recipes is soooo much better.

I had a few of these pastries at my friend's place, and they were delicious. I loved that there were just 3 ingredients for the cookies and they had the most flakey and delicate texture that I adored. They were not so sweet either, which was another plus!

Roast duck with a port wine cranberry sauce made from the pan drippings, orange juice, and brown sugar. Lemon-rubbed and roasted until the skin is shatteringly crisp.

Almond bread machine loaf with rich almond paste folded into the dough, finished with a corn syrup glaze and slivered almond crown. Sweet, fragrant, and built for breakfast or coffee.

Pink maraschino cherry cake with cherry juice in the batter, chopped cherries, and nuts folded through. A retro 1950s layer cake ideal for Valentine's Day or bridal showers.

Poppy seed roll: an Eastern European yeasted bread wrapped around a rich poppy seed filling sweetened with honey and orange-lemon zest. Holiday classic.
