Five roses/11 recipes

A delicious kind of salad made with mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, flaked coconut and whipped topping.

Chunks of beef slowly braised in an authentic Chinese manner. Nearly any tough cut of beef can be made magically tender and flavorful with this technique.

Slow cooked beef short ribs that simply fall off the bone in a delicious Chinese style barbecue sauce. Packed with flavor and nearly hands-free preparation using your slow cooker or Crockpot.

Very good tasting! Outstanding!

Sweet Gherkin Pickles recipe

Even if you dont like Ricotta cheese. DO NOT pass up this great recipe. I would have to give it a 5 star plus rating! Those who tasted these yummy treats all agree to the five star rating. So easy to make, but so hard to keep the cookie monster away! You will not be sorry with these great little treats!

Five cheeses made these tarts super cheesy, oozy and tasty. We made our own pastries that were buttery and flakey, also we used mini tartlets instead of 9-inch tart pan.

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

Quick to prepare, great flavor. The fish takes on a caramel color on the outside, and stays flakey white on the inside, which creates a nice appearance.

Five Cup Bread recipe

This decadent brownie recipe was recently clipped from my local newspaper.

This is not your classic bundt cake that's packed with not-so-good-for-you ingredients. The cake is made with 100% whole wheat flour, grapeseed oil, Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, and fresh raspberries. The ganache doesn't have any butter or cream, it contains cocoa powder, honey, grapeseed oil and Greek yogurt. Super chocolaty, fudgy, moist and packed with goodness.

Rich and dense sauce that's perfect for shrimp, scallops or salmon.

This is one of several Chinese stuffed pancake recipes, here we use bok choy, shiitake mushrooms and mung bean noodles (like vermicelli), tossed with sesame oil, ginger, garlic and five spice powder, lightly fry them on a non-stick skillet until golden brown outside, and steamy and flavorful inside.

Yum! I added some sliced red bell pepper strips to give the dish more colour. Used fresh broccoli instead of mixed frozen veggies, and added a drizzle of sesame oil and rice vinegar in the end as well as some sesame seeds. Enjoyed the dish with a bowl of rice, so good!

A very easy and fairly quick one pot meal that's perfect when you're in a hurry. Chunks of chicken and rice seasoned with star anise and Chinese five spice powder. Yum.
