Recipe Sifter

A very old recipe from Venice, Italy, a delicious cheesecake with raisins

This is one of Jamie Oliver's recipes from his FOODTUBE. These scones are so buttery. Bacon and maple syrup add a bit smokiness and sweetness. Great for breakfast or snack.

Sauce Aurore (Aurora sauce) made from a silky bechamel base with tomato paste stirred in for a blush-pink French classic. Seven ingredients, one saucepan, about 15 minutes.

Normally, this cake is made in a bundt or tube pan. Today, I chose to make only half the recipe and bake in four ramekins for approximately 17 minutes. While the glaze was still wet, I sprinkled the little cakes with some multicolored nonpareils to make them a little more festive. Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

This coffeecake was absolutely divine on both flavor and texture. It definitely deserves at least 5-star.

Elote is a popular street food in Mexico although it is frequently served at home prepared in the same way (boiled, steamed or grilled in the husk).

Strawberry and rhubarb are a great pair. I remember my Mom making this juicy, sweet and tangy flakey strawberry rhubarb pie; and every year when the strawberry season comes we revisit fond memories. :)

Quick and easy rendition of a classic. Serve these garlicky marinated shrimp over or tossed with your favorite pasta.

Savory vegetarian pie with caramelized onions, mixed mushrooms, and Gruyere in a rustic oat-flour crust. A lighter quiche-style main dish with an earthy, nutty depth of flavor.

Carrot puree cake bakes smooth, cooked carrot puree into an ultra-moist crumb, warmed with cardamom and cinnamon and brightened with orange. Topped with classic cream cheese frosting for a fresh twist on carrot cake.

La Madeleine's tomato basil soup copycat: silky pureed tomatoes with fresh basil, finished with heavy cream and butter. The famous French bistro soup made at home.

Fresh berries, light and creamy ricotta cheese with the golden and crispy phyllo, these mini phyllo tarts are melting in your mouth, and you can't stop reaching them.

These yummy treats are made with whole wheat flour, oats, applesauce, vegetable oil and a tiny amount of butter, which adds lots of heart-healthy ingredients to the cookies without losing any bit of deliciousness. Especially when peanut butter and chocolate chips are involved, make sure to bake enough, because they disappear quicky.

Rich and delectable, this showy dessert makes an elegant finale to any dinner.

Concentric circles of blueberries decorate this no-bake blueberry pie sized tart.

Made this cherry crumb coffee cake with whole wheat flour and homemade cherry pie filling, it came out moist and very tasty. Not too sweet, and just the right balance. Great with a cup of coffee or tea.
