I made minor changes to reflect more generic ingredients. According to them, the best bread for thin-slicing is called pain de mie, a butter- and milk-rich loaf baked in a special lidded 13" x 4" x 4" pan. The lid ensures that the baking bread won't expand too much, keeping it very close-grained-and thus totally non-crumbly, and easy to slice. You can use all all-purpose flour without the whole wheat. -- posted by Rinshinomorihttp://www.recipezaar.com/303501 Beef Strogonoff- May 13, 2008 It is a rather easy recipe and quite a yummy result. -- posted by Babybluehttp://www.recipezaar.com/303383 Breakfast Crepes- May 12, 2008 These crepes are made in the blender and use Brandy. You can substitue Cointreau or Gran Marnier for an orange flavor. The alcohol burns off but leaves its flavor. These freeze well. From Epicurious. Special equipment: Iron skillet or crêpe pan Flexible metal or plastic spatula -- posted by cookiedoghttp://www.recipezaar.com/303290 Ratatouille Caviar- May 12, 2008 A recipe I adapted from my teacher in cooking school. I like to serve it cold, with nice crusty bread, some olives, some cheese and some garlic veggie pâté, or lukewarm with garlicky tofu kabobs. Or hot with pasta and nicoise olives The brunoise cut is time consuming, I wont lie. But I think of it as a relaxing activity... Just sip white wine and dice dice dice. Just don'T chop up your finger. All the vegetables should be diced the same size: 1 or 2 millimeter! Or if you are lazy,.http://www.recipezaar.com/303249 Bavette (Flap) Steak With Beurre Rouge & Roasted Potatoes- May 12, 2008 This was, simply put, stunning. Steak in a shallotwinebutter sauce with roasted potatoes. Alas, the best things in life are rarely free and this one's no exception. You'll pay... (oh, how you'll pay!) in dietary guilt, to say the least, but when you want to allow yourself a little indulgence, do consider this dish. For now, the cut of beef is pretty inexpensive. In researching "flap meat", aka "flap steak", I came across an article in the SF Chronicle which included this...http://www.recipezaar.com/303210 Lower Fat Bearnaise Sauce- May 9, 2008 Love bearnaise sauce but are watching the calories Even if you aren't a health nut, cutting back on saturated fats and extra calories is a good idea for most. This recipe takes the classic taste of bearnaise and makes it lower in fat and calories. The taste is familiar and velvety smooth, but better on your waistline!
