White Bean and Tuna Dip

Hummus isn’t the only bean dip out there.  And while I love hummus, tahini is expensive and can be hard to find.  I made this white bean and tuna dip to go with our “mezze” for this month’s Daring Kitchen challenge.  I originally decided to create [...]

The Daring Cooks do Mezze – Pita Bread!


What a challenge this month, and doubly so for me as I am still trying to get settled and find my way around!  I had to do something completely different for the pita bread because of the gluten free (GF) thing.  In bread, gluten manages to [...]

DC #8 – “En Croute” Two Ways

The 2009 Daring Cooks challenge was hosted by Simone of Junglefrog Cooking. Simone chose Salmon en Croute (or alternative recipes for Beef Wellington or Vegetable en Croute) from Good Food Online.

Now this month was a serious challenge!!  I had to do it twice to get something even [...]

Daring Cook’s Challenge #7 – Sushi

Mmm one of my favorite foods!  The November 2009 Daring Cooks challenge was brought to you by Audax of Audax Artifex and Rose of The Bite Me Kitchen. They chose sushi as the challenge.  I was so excited when sushi was picked for this month’s Daring [...]

DC #6 Bonus Dessert Challenge – Fried Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake Pillows

The October 2009 Daring Cooks’ challenge was brought to us by Jaden of the blog Steamy Kitchen. The recipes are from her new cookbook, The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook.

I actually made this challenge before I made the actual October challenge, because I was so excited about making dessert wontons!  The original recipe was for [...]

The October 2009 Daring Cooks’ challenge was brought to us by Jaden of the blog Steamy Kitchen. The recipes are from her new cookbook, The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook.  I was so excited to hear that Jaden was hosting this month’s challenge, I instantly became a fan of hers after making a fantastic [...]

DC #5 – A Venture in Indian Cuisine and Homemade Dosas

I LOVE Indian food, but have always been a bit intimidated to try it.  I’m not really sure why, because I don’t think it is necessarily very difficult.  Maybe it’s because I always thought Indian cuisine required these crazy exotic ingredients that I would never be able to find.  It turns out that is just [...]

Daring Cooks #4 – Paella

Paella started its renowned reputation in the Valencia region of Spain as an immensely flavorful rice dish cooked in a large shallow round pan.  Spanish cuisine is one I have very little experience with (well, besides enjoying eating it!), and I was thrilled when this month’s host, Olga, [...]

DC Challenge #2 – Gluten Free Gyoza with Roasted Duck and Spinach Filling served with Sweet Cherry and Apricot Dipping Sauce

The theme this month was potstickers.  I was really excited about this challenge, because this is something I’d never have attempted gluten free on my own.  Well, I think I know why now.  I had a lot of challenges working on these, but, I can say I did them.  Are they as good as the [...]

Daring Cooks 1st Challenge – Ricotta Gnocchi with Spinach and Ramps Pesto

The first Daring Cooks challenge to be announced was by Lis and Ivonne and featured a recipe from the cookbook by Judy Rodgers, named after her restaurant,The Zuni Café Cookbook.  This was a great recipe challenge, because I have tried to create gluten free gnocchi before, and failed miserably every time – that’s why [...]
