Star anise/16 recipes

A copycat recipe of a popular chinese chain in the US. The method used creates a super crispy skin for this roast chicken.

Loaded with veggies and with a hint of sweetness, this chili recipe has been my family's favorite for many, many years.

Delicious! Considering a much lower fat creamy style pasta dish, this recipe definitely deserves 5 stars.

A simple seasoning recipe that can add a kick to any of your meals.

Definitely give this recipe 5 stars. We really had no idea how it would come out before we made it, and the result was outstanding...

Definitely a five star recipe. I used salami instead of ham, because that was all I had at the moment, and it came out delicious. If you are a big fan of Chinese food and would't mind cooking in your own kitchen, you should give it a go. By the way, chow fan (fun) is how Chinese say fried rice. Happy Cooking :)

These Chinese sticky ribs are scrumptious.

German style sauerbraten in the form of meatballs for your slow cooker.

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.

A very clean and fresh traditional middle-eastern salad.

"This pie definitely rates 5 stars. It's easy to assemble and a fantastic addition to your Thanksgiving dinner."

Gave this recipe 5 star, because chocolate in between the layers, and chopped almonds were mixed into streusel, which made the bars taste heavenly delicious.

Homemade pastry stuffed with potato - "knish upon a star" and your dreams will come true.
