Basic BreadI thought cornflour was the same as corn starch in the US - a very fine white powder. The cornmeal in this recipe should be ground corn - usually not as fine as flour. It's usually yellow.

Basic BreadOops - good catch. I usually put in the salt with the flour. But if you leave it out, the bread will be OK, just less salty - you can just spread it with salted butter.

Easy BlondiesYou can substitute many ingredients like dried fruit for the chocolate and nuts. I used pecans and chocolate chunks. [I posted this recipe.]

Peanut Butter ChickenKeeps well. Great served with rice or couscous. [I posted this recipe.]

Swiss Chard And Caramelized Onion LasagnaI thought this recipe was just OK, but my boyfriend loved it. It was a bit too sweet for my tastes due to the caramelized onions. If I made it again I might add some vinegar or lemon juice, maybe some hot sauce or tangy goat cheese mixed in with the ricotta. One thing that helped me was to draw a picture of the layer order described in the recipe - it's a lot easier to refer to visually than in writing. This freezes pretty well - I reheated first in the microwave, then in the oven.

Bittersweet Chocolate SouffleA good, solid souffle recipe. They're not as hard as their reputation would have you think. This is the perfect mother's day breakfast.

Apple Almond PieThis was my favorite recipe to make last fall. It's delicious and keeps pretty well. I made it with the Jiffy crust in a box (shh). If I remember correctly, I also processed the almonds a bit finer. I love the combination of apples and almonds - it's a lot more substantial than plain apple pie.

Pear Frangipane TartThis tart can also be made with other fruits. Keeps fairly well for a few days - re-warming in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes makes it taste freshly baked. [I posted this recipe.]

|
Mushrooms ProvencalA simple vegetable side dish. If you are not a big lemon fan, just use a squeeze of juice. [I posted this recipe.]
|
|
Zucchini PieThis is a rustic-looking tart which would be perfect for your homegrown zucchini. The original recipe recommended baking this on a cookie sheet, but I used a pie pan. [I posted this recipe.]

|
Braised Chicken Legs with LemonDon't be put off by the amount of garlic in this - you will hardly taste it in the final dish. This is adapted from Richard Olney's Simple French Food - I reduced the amount of garlic and lemon and simplified some of the instructions. [I posted this recipe.]

Eggs in Fried BreadA classic. Make it with a heart-shaped cookie cutter for anniversaries, mother's day, father's day, or just to brighten your day! If you prefer your eggs over-easy to sunny side up, you can flip halfway through.
|
|
Honey-Orange MadeleinesI think a lot of people would like this, however, I like traditional madeleines without honey a lot better. The honey overpowers the delicate cookie too much for my taste. One tip - get a silicone madeleine mold! You don't have to butter
|
|
Coconut SorbetI substituted lime peel for the shredded coconut. Overall an easy recipe (and would be great to serve to vegan friends instead of ice cream) but if I made this again I would blend the coconut milk first. Even though I shook the can there were tiny waxy or fatty clumps in my ice cream which were not very appetizing.

Beef And Orange Salad with Red Onion Mustard VinaigretteI made this with a few liberties (like arugula, tangerine oranges which didn't need to be cut from the membrane, etc.) Delicious!
|

Caramelized Ruby Red Grapefruit SaladWhen I read this recipe I was really excited about the combination of ingredients - carmelized fennel and grapefruit! But either I am missing some key techniques or this recipe is really difficult. The grapefruit fell apart when I tried to carmelize it. The roasted fennel was great, though - what I actually did was to slice it before roasting to speed up the cooking time and get a cripsier result. Anyway, if anyone figures out how to carmelize the grapefruit neatly, you should post it in your comment!

Piccata ChickenThis was a quick recipe. It was decent but not totally amazing. I think it would be very good for picky kids (minus the capers, maybe). I ended up thickening the sauce with a bit of extra flour, and that improved it a lot.
|
|
Beans with VinaigretteThis recipe was amazing and so quick. I used whole grain mustard and freshly ground pepper. I liked it slightly warm, but think it would also be a great bring-along lunch.

Raisin Soda BreadA delicious standard Irish Soda Bread recipe. I didn't have to bake it for the full hour and a half - took it out after about 45 minutes and it was wonderfully done.

Hello, I have been to Providence RI once, it was winter and snow was on the ground. Your recipe sounds great... I bet you are a great cook with a nice hot oven. Nice picture too!
