The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods: Creating Old Favorites with the New Flours

The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods: Creating Old Favorites with the New Flours Review

I got this book out of the library but now am going to have to buy it.
Love, love love the recipes. Useful for every day cooking. I guess I like "comfort" foods a lot :)

Everyone has already said how great this cookbook is and the author was one of the first to develop recipes for celiacs so they could eat regular food again without missing out on baked goods.
Wheat and gluten are so present in purchased foods and hard to replace. This book helps make life better.

Barbie Fun to Cook Book

Barbie Fun to Cook Book Review

My first question is: "How does Barbie stay so skinny eating all this delicious food?" On the other hand, who cares...just pass me the brownies. Can I say, Barbie does look cute in an apron as well. Children love to learn how to cook. It is only when we get to be adults that we find out it is a bit of work. Not too much, but it does take more effort and your mom and dad are not there to pick up after you. I just hate that!!!!

So, what is Barbie cooking? You will find recipes for all her favorite foods. Simple step-by-step photographs show you how to make fruity freezies. They are great for the summer and you could make them now. This is a really fun cookbook even a "girl-at-heart woman" can enjoy. Remember making those chocolate cakes and eating them as fast as you made them in your "light bulb" based oven? Well, here you are using a real oven and kids sure have grown up!

I would advise adult supervision around the stove, but my mother let me start cooking at a very early age. I am sure she was nearby, but I was so intrigued with cooking...I just remember my poor dad scrubbing burnt pans...(Until I learned how to watch what I was doing and not leave things on the stove while I was outside playing. Hey, I was only 7) The recipes include: A Fruity Feast, Sunshine Breakfast, Mini Muffins, Sandwich Stacks, Aprinana Cake, Chocolate Cookies, Fuity Freezies, Lemon Cooler, Super Shakes, Rainbow Fruit Snack Sticks, Cute Cookies (and they are cute!), Birthday Cakes complete with butterflies (Martha would be proud of Barbie), Chocolate Dipped Fruit, Mini Pizzas, Burger Bites, Dippy Chicken (Thai Chicken with peanut dip), Perfect Pasta with tomato sauce, Stuffed Baked Potatoes, Nacho Nibbles, Super Sundaes, Brownies and Two Minute Treats (popcorn, banana sandwiches, salad, celery with fillings, apple boats with cheese sails).

Barbies appear on each recipe and tell you why you "just must" try their recipes. "Here are two ideas for a fabulously fruity brunchtime treat." says Barbie. She then gives pictures of all the ingredients with their names and then shows step-by-step phographs of a real kid helping her cook. This is totally a girly, girl cookbook.

The Ultimate Crab Cake Recipe

In my family both growing up and later as a mom raising my own children, food was center to our time together. Whether it was simply sitting together at the dinner table, or the time I spent cooking while the children watched closely wondering what I was preparing, while looking up from their homework, food mattered in our home. Lindsey was our second of three daughters and the most stubborn. This is the story of THE ULTIMATE CRAB CAKE which is the first food my daughter Lindsey ate as a toddler. Lindsey spit out her baby food refusing everything except her bottle. I slaved over the stove preparing homemade baby food, when that didn't work I bought every store bought brand and taste I could find. They all produced the same results, she refused to eat and held out for her bottle. This went on till 16 months of age when a trip to the pediatrician sent me away with instructions to take away her bottle and let her sit her in her high chair at dinner to eat or go hungry. As usual, she refused the baby food I put in front of her, making clear she would have no part in the meal. When suddenly out of frustration and to this day I am not sure if was her frustration or mine she waved her hand at our dinner. You guessed it! We were dining on crab cakes, and she wanted what we were eating. Her first meal was eaten with success which put a smile on her face and mine and is owed to this recipe which has been adapted from one of the T&C Maryland style crab cake recipes. Lindsey is now 27 years old and when she visits she still wants me to fix them for her.

CRAB CAKES

1 lb jumbo lump crab meat

2 large eggs beaten

3 Tbsp heavy cream

1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

1 tsp Dijon Mustard

1 Tbsp Old Bay Seasoning

dash cayenne pepper

fresh ground pepper to taste

3 Tbs. minced scallions

1/4 cup minced onions

1/4 cup minced parsley

1/3 cup Hellman's mayonnaise

Few dashes pepper vinegar

1/2 to 1 cup bread crumbs

Whisk the eggs in a large bowl with the cream, mustard, Worcestershire, pepper vinegar, Old Bay seasoning, cayenne and pepper to taste until mixture is well blended. Add the scallions, onions, parsley and mayonnaise. Gently fold in the crab meat and breadcrumbs taking care not to break up the jumbo lumps. Using your hands, divide the crab meat into 8 shaping them gently into rounds. Chill covered in plastic wrap for 1 hour. Heat a few Tbsp butter and oil in heavy skillet sauté 3-4 minutes each side till golden brown. Keep warm in a 200 degree oven. Serve with Spicy tarter sauce.

SPICY TARTER SAUCE

2 Tbsp pepper vinegar

1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard

1/4 tsp sea salt

fresh ground pepper

Tabasco to taste

1 cup Hellman's mayonnaise

1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning

1 medium onion finely chopped

3 Tbsp. chopped dill relish

1/4 cup chopped parsley

Lemon juice to taste

Mix ingredients together, chill 1 hour, sauce will be thin.

Enjoy the recipe, these Crab Cakes are great served on a bed of lettuce with a dollop of spicy tarter sauce as a salad entrée. For a lunch time or easy dinner, crab cakes are great on toasted bun as a sandwich with lettuce and tomato. For a southern twist, garnish with a fried green tomato.
