The archive is extensive, the pictures often breathtaking AND mouthwatering. You'll find loads of vegetarian and fish recipes here, plus numerous delectable desserts. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel/page/2#post-12950 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:29:03 +0000 Inge 12950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always at your service Rosebud;-) And I hadn't seen that that pasta as risotto recipe yet. Should be good!<br /> And it is amazing, isn't it Christie, to see how much Clotilde has already achieved. Respect!</p> <p>Well Angie, if you insist (as if I need any prodding when sweets are involved;-) Your papa sounds truly lovely and he must be so proud of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel/page/2#post-12907 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:16:25 +0000 christie 12907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love cream cheese icing. I'm not such a fan of the traditional buttercream or whatever else icing is made of. I figure, if I'm going to eat icing, I might as well go all the way!</p> <p>Inge, I am a regular reader of chocolate and zucchini. Her cooking and eating philosophy is right on track with my own. She likes to alter recipes to make them a bit fun and unique. I love it (Plus, she and I are separated in age by a month, so I think it's fun to see how successful she has become at my age!).</p> <p>I forget now who wrote about the CSA. My husband and I used to have a CSA when we lived in New England. Now, that we have moved, we have chosen not to join a local one. But we still get 90% of our food from the farmer's market or other local vendors (like the local bread shop, local winery, and local chocolate shop). We have two farmer's markets per week for most of the year, and one all year round. Every Saturday morning, my husband and I wake up early (which is difficult after the late-night Shabbat meal we have on Fridays), and march to the market. We spend about an hour or hour and a half chatting with the farmers we now know well and buying whatever is fresh or in season (including cheeses and meats). </p> <p>Then we come home and for the next week, we look in our fridge every evening (or our garden in the summer) and decide what delicious combination we will put together. I have a handful of cookbooks, but I like to experiment more. I use things like the Joy of Cooking, Julia Child, and Asparagus to Zucchini (<a href="http://www.localharvest.org/store/item.jsp?id=270" rel="nofollow">http://www.localharvest.org/store/item.jsp?id=270</a>) for inspiration. Mostly, I cook with an Italian/Mediterranean flair--copious amounts of olive oil, fresh herbs, fresh veggies, and pasta/rice/couscous (with some meat thrown in). </p> <p>Wow, I'm getting excited for dinner already, and it's barely 8 am! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel/page/2#post-12842 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:44:45 +0000 Angie 12842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh Ana! We’re having it tonight! Let me know what you think. </p> <p>Send over ANY sweet Dutch thing Inge and I’m all OVER it. (My Papa keeps us well stocked. He visits three times a year). And you’ve GOT to try cream cheese icing. It’s my favourite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-12819 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:12:49 +0000 Ana 12819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the veggie recipes, rosebudrmm. </p> <p>Angie, I am going to try that chocolate sauce tomorrow! Mmm.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-12793 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:50:18 +0000 Rosie 12793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes I need Dutch translators for documents at work. Now I know where to go! ;)</p> <p>Inge, I LOVE Chocolate and Zucchini! I personally am a risotto maker and Clotilde has a recipe for making pasta like risotto and it comes out so interesting! Her blog just makes me happy! For those of you going to Paris anytime soon, she just came out with a book filled with places to go there.</p> <p>I watch quite a bit of Food Network, and one of my recent favorites is Dave Lieberman. His recipes are often simple, inexpensive and really tasty. Usually fairly healthy. I find that his desserts often focus on fruits, which I love. The recipes are often so uncomplicated that you don't need to write things down; but, if you do, then just check them out on the Food Network website. </p> <p>It seems like there are a lot of vegetarians on here. I highly encourage you to check out any of Mollie Katzen's books - anything from the Moosewood series. Also, her book with Walter Willett (amazing Harvard health expert) called Eat, Drink and Weigh Less actually has fantastic recipes in it, done by her. Not all vegetarian, but those that are taste truly spectacular.<br /> Here are a bunch to try:<br /> <a href="http://www.molliekatzen.com/archives.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.molliekatzen.com/archives.php</a></p> <p>The Eggplant Parmesan and the Stuffed Peppers on the link below are truly delicious and very healthy. Some of my favorite meals ever.<br /> <a href="http://www.eatdrinkandweighless.com/recipes.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.eatdrinkandweighless.com/recipes.htm</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-12778 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 18:58:25 +0000 Inge 12778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just saw this (have slept in the meantime, but I really do am a night owl;-)</p> <p>That taart sounds so delicious Angie, would you believe that I've never had cake with cream cheese icing in my life (note to self: must remedy that soon!).</p> <p>Stroopwafeltjes, grin, that's a typical Dutch thing for me, not so fond of them myself. But planning on getting me a new waffle-iron this weekend and you're welcome to a batch of 'ambachtelijke suikerwafeltjes' anytime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-12160 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 04:10:00 +0000 Angie 12160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ps. sorry to hear your waffle-iron broke (sad face) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-12152 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 03:02:19 +0000 Angie 12152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Precies! Ik bak niet graag, maar had vanmiddag zin. Ik zal een stukke opsturen! (lemon fairy cakes with cream cheese icing). </p> <p>Mmmmm....wafeltjes met stroop. Nou begin ik te watertanden!</p> <p>You need to go to sleep!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-12146 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 00:19:49 +0000 Inge 12146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(en jij doet dat dus ook: tussen de 'kookbedrijven' door, terwijl je moet wachten tot iets klaar is, snel even online naar YLF;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-12145 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 00:16:51 +0000 Inge 12145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aaaah!

She makes me want to try out ingredients and combinations that I sometimes wouldn't have thought of myself.</p> <p>Another blog tip: Chocolate &#38; Zucchini:<br /> <a href="http://chocolateandzucchini.com/" rel="nofollow">http://chocolateandzucchini.com/</a><br /> The focus is not always on healthy cooking, and not all recipes are vegetarian but I know many of you are delighted by the French (Parisian) way of life, and Clotilde is a 'parisienne' who has lived in the USA, has two cookbooks out now, and always manages to add a little couleur locale to her blog posts. And for that alone I would keep going back;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-12054 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:23:00 +0000 judy 12054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a link I just discovered surfing late last night that I wanted to share with you all:</p> <p><a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.101cookbooks.com/index.html</a> </p> <p>Her name is Heidi Swanson...and the recipes are mostly vegetarian...she also has a book that's supposed to be very good for anyone trying to go more natural called Super Natural Cooking that looks like a beautiful and comprehensive guide to buying and cooking better that intrigues me. Like a good closet, a good cupboard of food starts with getting rid of the stuff you don't want to eat and making wise choices at the store, I find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-11917 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:09:05 +0000 Lannie 11917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love, love our panini press (but I reckon the Foreman grill does the exact same job) and I have a long list of things that I like to make in it. Other meal options:</p> <p>Lunch: PB&#38;J- in a panini press, PB&#38;J becomes magic. I like using natural peanut butter and homemade strawberry jam.<br /> Dinner: tortilla wrap with provolone and grilled peppers, mushrooms, and onion<br /> Dessert (yep!): your choice of bread (I've used chocolate cherry loaf from the market, but you could probably do anything from French loaf to sliced pound cake) with a chocolate spread (we have a dark chocolate spread that I love, but in a pinch Nutella would do). Layer of jam or compote optional.</p> <p>I once ate nothing but panini for about 3 days straight. My mother thought I was touched in the head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-11910 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:42:56 +0000 Nicole 11910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh Lannie that sounds delish! My kids would LOVE that. I'd also try it with banana (I love PB and Banana sammies). I don't have a Panini Press, but I make paninis all the time--I use my George Forman Grill! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-11907 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:49:42 +0000 Lannie 11907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since it's still the AM-</p> <p>Breakfast Panini:<br /> whole grain bread (or your favourite type of bread)<br /> natural peanut butter<br /> thinly-sliced granny smith apple (or any kind of tart apple)<br /> drizzle of honey</p> <p>Pop it in the panini press (or other sandwich press/right into a hot pan) and voila! Something a little different for breakfast than cereal, toast, or eggs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-11905 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:27:57 +0000 Angie 11905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The BEST hot chocolate fudge sauce: </p> <p>100g of your favourite chocolate ( I use Lindt)<br /> 100g of peanut butter<br /> 175ml of heavy cream<br /> 3 tablespoons of syrup</p> <p>Mix it up in a pot over medium heat and pour it over ice cream of your choice while it’s piping hot. Mine in triple chocolate by Hagen Das. Not so healthy but very quick and extremely fabulous. You’ll have died and gone to heaven. Ever in a dessert pinch and pressed for time, this is it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-11873 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 02:44:37 +0000 Lannie 11873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you've given me an idea for what to do with our canned black beans, Nicole! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-11865 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 02:21:01 +0000 Nicole 11865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tonight I tossed together this little side "salad", which I ate as my meal--my husband smothered garlicy chicken with it.</p> <p>2 ripe avacados--diced<br /> 1 can black beans -- drained and rinsed<br /> Lime Juice (I squeezed a plastic lime for about 15 seconds)<br /> garlic Powder<br /> Salt and pepper</p> <p>Just toss it all together and let it sit about 15 minutes to meld the flavors. I've also made this as a dip for parties. SO YUMMY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-11843 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 01:32:34 +0000 Ana 11843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting the vegetarian recipe, Becky!</p> <p>This one is great, and you can sub sharp cheddar for smoked Gouda (which can be expensive):</p> <p><a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0</a>,,FOOD_9936_18764,00.html </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-cooking-channel#post-11747 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:04:33 +0000 Ola 11747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love reading cooking blogs to get recipe ideas.
