Recipe Sifter

Spicy mango chutney simmered with apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, raisins, garlic, ginger, and dried red chiles. A bold sweet-sour Indian condiment for curries, cheese boards, and roasted meats.

The oat scones were buttery, fluffy and delicious, when we spread the apple-pear butter on top, the flavor was just amazing. Sweet, a bit sour and smooth apple-pear butter went deliciously well with these yummy scones.

I squeezed a bit lemon juice and grated some fresh lemon zest to give it a zing, which actually worked beautifully. Certainly well satisfied our palate and tummy at the same time. A yummy and healthy way to enjoy a stir-fry pasta.

Wow your family this Thanksgiving with this decadent pumpkin pie that will have everyone asking for a second slice!

A famous Scottish style pie or tart. Plums baked in a rich and creamy custard.

Very easy to make, and it came out delicious with great texture. I halved the recipe, used whole wheat flour, half butter and half olive oil, and baked it in 4 individual ramekins. I ate one while it was still warm, very good; later had one after chilled in the fridge, even better. Definitely a keeper.

This makes an excellent cheesecake, similar to one you would get in a restaurant. Great for special occasions! Garnish with white chocolate curls if desired

Crispy pieces of fried potatoes with bacon pieces and more! Served warm but can eat cold too.

In a latest experiment with homemade soups, I combined the ideas from my own Hot and Sour Soup and my mother-in-law's Shanghai Meatball Soup. The result was unquestionably great and both my sons (who are excellent cooks themselves) declared it my finest effort. I hope you enjoy it, too!!

Pumpkin millet soup pairs nutty whole-grain millet with creamy kabocha squash for a vegan, gluten-free fall soup. Pureed into a velvety bisque, finished with nutmeg, cayenne, and a yogurt swirl. Five ingredients, plant-powered comfort.

This cake can be served alone or with a chocolate sauce.

Billion dollar chocolate bars, a homemade candy bar in four layers: a chocolate-peanut butter base, fluffy peanut nougat, gooey caramel, and a chocolate top. Like a candy-shop Snickers, made at home.

When using any other flour but white, substitute one tablespoon of gluten flour* for regular flour. You can use mixed grains, bran, flax, whole wheat flour, rye flour. Just be sure to adjust the gluten. 100% whole wheat does not turn out too well.

Easy and oh so delicious. Any kind of onions work well but for extra sweetness keep an eye out for baby vidalias, top with a quick balsamic glaze to kick it up a notch.

Oatmeal cinnamon scones with chewy oats, brown sugar warmth, and a whisper of orange zest. Drop scones with a tender crumb that lands somewhere between oatmeal cookie and buttermilk biscuit.

Nothing says lovin like some spicy Louisiana cooking. I absolutely LOVE making this when I have the time. I'm toning down the amount of creole seasoning that I use, because I tend to be a little heavy handed with it. The amount is an approximate - season to your taste. Fell free to substitute cajun seasoning for the creole. It's all about personal preference. Enjoy!!
