Great american/3 recipes

This relish from Bengal, an eastern region of India, is for those who like fiery flavors. Try it with tandoori dishes, kebabs and shellfish curries. It's great in sandwiches, too.

This bread freezes well for 2-3 months if tightly wrapped. To serve, defrost overnight in the foil. To warm, place the thawed bread, still wrapped in foil in a 350F degree oven for 15-20 minutes. If reheated in this manner, the bread will retain its freshly baked qualities.

Finnish Summer Soup recipe

Marinating the chicken in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried thyme and tarragon add great depth to a rice sauce that's smoothed by just a hint of red currant jelly and enhanced with apricots and tawny port. Be sure to use tawny port. With its beautiful amber color and slightly dry flavor, it compliments the apricots. Save your ruby port, which is sweeter and has a deep red wine color, for after dinner.

A warm beef and bacon stew is served over pasta. It's delicious and fills you up. A great fall or winter dish.

This is actually fairly easy to make, the only time consuming part was peeling the eggplant and chopping vegetables.

Hawaiian Baked Beans recipe

Made a bunch of these cranberry chews at the weekend, and they were so good. I used half whole wheat flour, which I usually do when I bake. I also used 1/2 cup coconut oil and 1/2 cup butter, and these bars came out wonderfully delicious. I have been enjoying them for breakfast and snack. I froze most of the bars. A great recipe.
