  1. Pierre Franey has a delicious trout recipe with chanterelles, shallots, chives, etc: "Truite de Ruisseau aux Chanterelles."
  2. A Heath Bar is a milk-chocolate-covered toffee bar, and as Kerry said, a Skor bar is a good sub - it's basically the same thing. Heath Bars: http://www.hersheys.com/products/details/heath.asp Skor Bars: http://www.hersheys.com/products/details/skor.asp
  3. QUOTE DeliciouslyLekker,Jul 8 2009, 09:01 AM] Blueberry Yoghurt Cake with a Lemon Glaze The cake looks great! Did you use a 9x5 loaf pan?
  4. Check out this site - they ship to Canada: http://www.nutsonline.com/nuts/pistachios/...p-unsalted.html
  5. My favorite cucumber salad is Pierre Franey's Salade de Concombres et Chevre. Delicious!

    Oranges

    Check out Nigella Lawson's Clementine Cake - uses the whole fruit - you can sub oranges (but you do need the zest, so it may not be what you're looking for): http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/nigella...cipe/index.html
  7. A few interesting recipes from my to-try file: Smoky Chipotle Butter http://www.recipezaar.com/Smoky-Chipotle-Butter-184307 Potato Salad With Chipotle Peppers http://www.recipezaar.com/Potato-Salad-Wit...ans-Salad-60560 CHIPOTLE-BARBECUED SHRIMP WIH GOAT CHEESE CREAM http://www.recipezaar.com/Chipotle-Barbecu...ese-Cream-41126
  8. Make chipotle hummus, black bean chipotle dip, chipotle vinaigrette, chili, corn salsa...
  9. This is a great salad, and holds up well. I've recommended it to lots of people, and they've all loved it. (I usually chill this about 4-5 hours. If chilling overnight, omit the green peas and add them a few hours before serving - otherwise, they lose color. Also, I strain out the crushed garlic before adding the dresssing): CURRIED COUSCOUS SALAD WITH DRIED CRANBERRIES http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefi...ecipe_id=226616
  10. Key Lime Pie, Rhubarb/Strawberry Crisp, Raspberry or Strawberry Fool, Homemade ice cream, Grilled Pound Cake with fresh fruit or fruit sauce or compote with whipped cream or ice cream... I made a lemon pudding the other day from Lori Longbotham's "Luscious Lemon Desserts," and it was fantastic - very lemony, rich and creamy.
  11. Ina Garten's Jam Thumbprints are great - they're rolled in coconut: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-gar...cipe/index.html
  12. Natilla is a great Latin dessert. (It's a type of vanilla custard with cinnamon on top).

    Fennel

    Try roasting it - it really brings out the flavor. Slice it thinly and roast it with other vegetables, such as red pepper, carrot, red onion, garlic, etc., all tossed in extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  14. My newest addition: Cherry Lime and Coconut Muffins http://saraskitchen.blogspot.com/2007/01/c...ut-muffins.html
  15. It won't make any significant difference.
  16. Check these out - they're excellent: Chewy Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies http://www.recipezaar.com/17113 Another excellent one - (I use heaping Tbsp instead of 1/4 cup scoops): Brown Butter Muscovado Chocolate Chip Cookies http://recipes.egullet.org/recipes/r2108.html
  17. Made this again with some tweaks, including tons more garlic. Very good! Yellow Pepper Soup http://www.recipezaar.com/22104
  18. Sounds the same as the Emeril one I posted above. I'm getting a craving for this pie!
  19. Check this out from Emeril Lagasse Creamy Peanut Butter Pie http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-...cipe/index.html Here's one with a photo that's similar, so you can see if it looks like the one you remember. Unfortunately, it uses whipped topping, which I assume can be subbed with heavy cream, whipped, OR better yet, stick with the Emeril recipe. http://southernmamas.blogspot.com/2007/09/...butter-pie.html
  20. Darienne, Don't let the lowfat aspect throw you - it's a very rich tasting French toast. No, Epicurious doesn't feature lowfat recipes - this just happens to be one. I love it when I find lowfat recipes that taste like they're high fat!
  21. I don't know if you saw my edit above, but I recommend using regular slices of whole wheat bread, not thin - they won't hold up the banana stuffing well, and it may be the reason a few reviewers complained of mushiness. Also, I always add more cinnamon! Here's the link: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/vie...ench-Toast-4388
  22. Baked Banana-Stuffed French Toast (using regular whole wheat slices, not thin, as indicated), topped with fresh strawberries and powdered sugar, drizzled with pure maple syrup - from Bon Appetit.
