to recipe chewy cookie by rsimplicio on Sep 07, 2005
Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 2 1/2 dozen cookies

2 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Hardware:
Ice cream scooper (#20 disher, to be exact)
Parchment paper
Baking sheets
Mixer


Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.

Pour the melted butter in the mixer's work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar. Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Chill the dough, then scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown, checking the cookies after 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet for even browning. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.

Italian peasant's salad

to recipe salad italy by ludo on Jul 21, 2005
From Enrica http://asiatica.org/~enrica/

Ingredients

* boiled patatoes (cold)
* olives (black or green)
* ripe tomatoes
* finely chopped onions
* salt
* oregano or 3-5 basil leaves
  (not washed just cleaned)
* freshly battered extra-vergin olive oil and vinegar
  (please please do not use the so called "Italian dressing", which is fake)


Optional Ingredients

cubes of pecorino (sheep) cheese or mozzarella


Directions

Add tomatoes at the end, use cold potatoes, and do not put too much of anything: too much is not better, is just too much; anyway, this is not a minimalist salad either, so do not be stingy either: in medio stat virtus!

Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes

to recipe garlic mashed potato by christopher on May 29, 2005 1 Comments
Here's another winner I busted out at Thanks Giving. I modified it slightly in that I used a potato ricer so as not to over mash and render them gluey (originally found on http://www.allrecipes.com/ and tips specifically from here)

Ingredients
2 pounds potatoes 
4 cloves garlic 
1/4 cup freshly grated 
   Parmesan cheese 
1 tablespoon butter or margarine 
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 
1/2 cup Evaporated Lowfat Milk 
salt and ground black pepper to taste


Directions
1 PLACE potatoes and garlic in large saucepan. Cover 
   with water; bring to a boil. Cook over medium-high heat 
   for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain. 
2 RETURN potatoes and garlic to saucepan. Mash potatoes and
 garlic together with a potato ricer. Add cheese, butter and 
   rosemary; stir until smooth (but not too much). Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Season with salt and pepper.

Cranberry Chutney

I made this for last Thanks Giving (Canadian) and it was well received by all, even my mother who likes her festive dinners to be on the traditional side. (originally found on http://www.allrecipes.com/)

Ingredients:
1 cup water 
3/4 cup white sugar 
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries 
1 cup apples - peeled, cored 
   and diced 
1/2 cup cider vinegar 
1/2 cup raisins 
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves


Directions 
1 In a medium saucepan combine the water and sugar. Bring 
   mixture to a boil over medium heat. Add the cranberries, 
   apples, cider vinegar, raisins and spices. Bring to a boil, 
   then simmer gently for 10 minutes stirring often. 
2 Pour mixture into a mixing bowl. Place plastic wrap 
   directly on the surface of the sauce. Cool to room temperature 
   and serve or cover and refrigerate. Bring chutney to room 
   temperature before serving.
