Sumptuous Crab Imperial
1 pound Lump Backfin Crab Meat. 1 cup Real Mayonnaise, Divided. 1 teaspoon Melted Butter. 1 whole Egg, Beaten. 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice. 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce. 1 teaspoon Dried Crushed Parsley Flakes. 1/2 Tablespoons Seafood Sesoning Blend (Old Bay, Phillips, Wye River). 1 pinch Ground Black Pepper. 1 teaspoon Bottled Capers, Drained. 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Juice. 3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream. 1/2 teaspoons Seafood Seasoning Blend. 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce.
The crab casserole base and the Imperial Sauce may be made ahead and refrigerated separately; if refrigerating prior to making later or the next day (no more than that! ), then add a few minutes to the base baking time. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. The 4 servings may be made in four (4) broiler- and oven-safe single-serving ramekins or in one larger baking dish (I use a round ceramic one that is about 8 in diameter). Base: Carefully drain the liquid from the pound container of lump crab meat and very gently place it in a mixing bowl, careful to not break lumps much. Remove any shell or cartilage. Set aside. In a separate medium mixing bowl, mix 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise with the melted butter, beaten egg, teaspoon of lemon juice, teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, parsley flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons (1/2 tablespoon) of your preferred seafood seasoning blend, pepper and the capers. Blend the mixture well. Immediately pour the mixture over the lump crab meat and, using a large spatula or spoon, very gently incorporate the mixture into the crab. If using single-serve ramekins, carefully divide the base crab casserole evenly into all four of them or place the entire crab casserole base into a small baking dish (base should be about an inch deep). Bake the four ramekins at 350F for about 15 minutes or one larger baking dish for about 25 minutes. The base sould be just heated through and set do not overbake (remember, crab meat is packaged already fully cooked). No salt needed in this dish as the seasoning is salty. Imperial Sauce Topping: While the crab casserole base is baking, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice, heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of preferred classic seafood seasoning blend, and 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. When the bases are baked, turn oven off and turn on broiler (if you have a choice, select High setting). Give the Imperial Sauce a final good stirring and then evenly coat the entire top of the crab base(s) with it. Broil the sauce-covered crab casseroles about 3 minutes, until topping is bubbly and has a few browned spots. Serve immediately. This is wonderful with steamed basmati rice and a simple salad (or roasted asparagus in a simple vinaigrette served hot or room temperature). The individual ramekins are optimal for using as 1/2 of a classic Surf and Turf presentation (with a small filet mignon cut of beef!)

30-Minute Pasta Sauce
14 cup olive oil. 1 pinch red pepper flakes. 1 pinch fennel seed (optional). 6 -10 garlic cloves, minced. 1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, with the juice, chopped (I do it with a pair of scissors). 2 teaspoons dried basil. 2 teaspoons dried marjoram. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. 1 pinch salt.
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the pepper, fennel and garlic and saute a couple of minutes just until the garlic is golden (not brown! ). Add the tomatoes with their juice, the herbs and salt. Stir to combine, bring to a good simmer, turn the heat to low and let cook, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Mix with cooked pasta and serve. Note 1- add as little or much garlic as you like- we like a lot. The same with the other ingredients- add the herbs you want in the amounts you want. You can saute 1/2 of an onion with the garlic if you like it. Note 2- You can substitute fresh herbs, but if you do double the measurement, and add them during the last few minutes of cooking. Note 3- add some raw, peeled shrimp to the sauce for the last five minutes for shrimp pasta.

Once the first cup is added, you can add the rest of the cream slowly. Place ramekins onto a rimmed baking sheet. Pour custard mixture into ramekins. Pour water in bottom of baking sheet until it comes halfway up the ramekins. Bake for 30 minutes, or until just set. Do not allow to get brown. Cool ramekins on countertop, then chill for at least 2-3 hours, covered in plastic wrap. To serve, sprinkle 1 tablespoon over each ramekin of custard. Use a kitchen torch to quickly (but carefully) brown the sugar. There should be a thin, crisp surface of burned sugar on the top. Serve immediately!

Green Beans & Tofu With Crunchy Thai Peanut Sauce
1 12 cups unsalted peanuts (or lightly salted). 2 tablespoons peanut oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil. 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger. 1 tablespoon minced garlic. 12 teaspoon lemon zest. 1 lb firm tofu, cut into small cubes. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. red pepper flakes. 12 cup good-quality peanut butter. 12 cup hot water. 1 tablespoon soy sauce. 2 teaspoons sugar. 1 teaspoon minced garlic. 1 teaspoon vinegar. 1 tablespoon minced cilantro.
For the stir-fry:. Place the peanuts in a blender, and grind briefly until they form a coarse meal. Set aside. Heat a medium-sized heavy skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, and the ginger and garlic. Saute for a few minutes, then add the crushed peanuts and the lemon zest. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until the peanuts are lightly toasted. Remove from heat and set aside. As the peanut mixture is cooking, heat a large, nonstick wok or deep skillet. Drizzle in a little oil. When it is very hot, add the tofu and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook over high heat for 10 to 15 minutes to let the water evaporate, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with lemon juice, reduce the heat, and cook for a few minutes longer. Transfer the tofu to the pan containing the peanut mixture and set aside. Scrape out the wok or skillet if necessary, and return to the heat. Let it get very hot, then add the remaining scant tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the green beans. (The pan should sizzle when they hit.) Stir-fry over high heat for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and a small amount of red pepper flakes. Stir-fry just a few minutes longer, or until the beans are divinely tender-crisp (mostly crisp, but just tender enough). Add the peanut-tofu mixture and toss everything together. Serve right away, over rice. For the peanut sauce:. Combine peanut butter and water in a bowl; mash and mix until uniform. Add remaining ingredients, and stir until combined. Add a little more water it you prefer it thinner. Salt to taste. Serve warm or room temperature, drizzled over hot green beans.

Add shallot and continue cooking and stirring for 1 minute. Add Cognac and carefully ignite it with a long match. When the flames subside, add Riesling, cover and simmer on low until the chicken breasts are just cooked, about 25 minutes. Remove breasts to plate and cover with foil. Cover and simmer the legs until cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer to the plate. Meanwhile, in another skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.

Chocolate Zucchini Fudge Cake
2 cups Flour. 3/4 cups Cocoa. 2 teaspoons Baking Soda. 1 teaspoon Baking Powder. 1 pinch Salt. 1 teaspoon Cinnamon. 2 cups White Sugar (I Use C&H Extra Fine Sugar). 4 whole Eggs. 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract. 1- 1/2 cup Canola Oil. 3 cups Grated Zucchini. 1/2 bags Chocolate Chips (optional). 1/2 cups Walnuts Or Hazelnuts (optional).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift all dry ingredients and sugar in large bowl. (flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar) Add eggs, vanilla, and oil. Mix by hand. Add in grated zucchini. (Its a good idea to place zucchini on clean towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.) I used the largest side with my hand grater. I love the extra texture it adds to the cake. Combine until all ingredients fully incorporated. Place in greased 9x13 pan. Cook for about 50 minutes. May need to go longer. Test cake with toothpick to determine if done. If you really like dark chocolate, I think shaving some really good quality cacao over the top would be the perfect addition. Ghirardelli even has a 60% cacao bittersweet chip... which just might send a dark chocolate lover into cardiac arrest. Theres no need for frosting, but if you prefer, cream cheese frosting goes really well!

Curry Puffs
2 Tablespoons Oil. 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds Or Jeera. 1 whole Yellow Onion, Diced. 1 pinch Turmeric. 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder (Dhaniya Powder). 1 cup Frozen Vegetables (Peas, Beans, Carrots), Thawed. 3 whole Potatoes, Boiled And Chopped. 2 teaspoons Salt. 1 teaspoon Chili Powder. 1/2 cups Chopped Cilantro. 1 package Frozen Puff Pastry.
Heat oil in a kadai (similar to a wok) and add jeera (cumin seeds). Add the onions and fry until they start becoming golden brown. Then add the turmeric, dhaniya (coriander) powder along with vegetables and potatoes. Mix well and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add salt and chili powder and finally mix in the fresh cilantro. Cool the curry completely and then fill each pastry square with a spoonful of the curry. Dont try to put too much filling. Seal the edges of the pastry and put them in the refrigerator as soon as you are done with each one. When you are ready to bake, first preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then take the puffs out of the refrigerator and make a couple of slits on the top side. This is for the steam to escape while baking. Pop the cookie sheet with the puffs into the oven and bake them approximately for 30 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Serve hot. If you are not serving them immediately, you can switch off the oven and keep them in there for 1-2 hours until serving. If you are packing them up, remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack and then pack them in an airtight container.

Deep Fried Granola French Toast
1 cup all-purpose flour. 18 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 12 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1 teaspoon table salt. 1 12 teaspoons baking powder. 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or 1 cup milk, of choice. 12 cup egg substitute or 2 large eggs. 12 teaspoon vanilla extract. 10 slices Texas toast thick bread or 10 slices thick sliced bread. 1 14 cups low-fat granola. coconut oil (for frying, refined) or frying oil, of choice. powdered sugar (optional, for garnish). syrup (optional).
Preheat frying oil to 365 degrees, if not in a deep fryer make sure you have enough oil to float the toast. Combine dry ingredients (without granola) in a mixing bowl. Add milk, egg, and vanilla to the dry ingredients bowl and whisk until well blended. If your mixing bowl is not flat enough to allow proper dipping of the toast pieces, transfer your mix to a pie pan or other flat bottom dish. Place granola on a plate or other dish to make coating toast easier. Using a bread or serrated knife, slice each toast piece in half diagonally. Press lightly and let the knife do the work to avoid squishing the bread. Dip the toast in the batter mix, flipping to coat both sides. Depending on preference you can let some batter drip off or whip off on edge of dish before next step, but be sure to leave enough to coat the surface and pick up the granola. The goal of this step is to pick up just a little granola. Place the battered toast on the bed of granola, press lightly. Flip and press lightly again. You can also sprinkle the granola on or spread it out with your fingers for an even coating. Place prepared toast in fryer basket and when basket is full (mine allows 4 pieces) place in fryer oil. You could add one piece at a time, just personal preference here. Do not overlap or stack, leave room, this is not like frying fries. You need room for these to float in the oil and for the oil to cook the edges. Allow bread piece to cook 2-3 minutes or until golden brown (on the side in the oil). Flip and cook on the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove toast from frying and place on a plate covered with a paper towel. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar while still fresh from the fryer. Continue battering, coating, and frying until all pieces are done. Also, when serving you can drizzle in syrup.

Chewy Coconut Granola Bars
3 cups Quick Cooking Oats. 1 cup Shredded Unsweetened Coconut. 1/4 cups Coconut Oil. 1/4 cups Honey. 1/4 cups Brown Sugar (lightly Packed). 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla. 2 ounces, weight Dark Chocolate, Chopped.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spread the oats and the coconut on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven, let it cool and transfer to a large bowl. Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by spraying it lightly with non-stick cooking spray. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut oil, honey and brown sugar. Heat and stir until melted. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly and boil for one minute. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour the sugar mixture into the oats and coconut and stir until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing down very firmly. I like to lay a sheet of wax paper over the bars and press down with a metal spatula to get it as compact as possible so they dont fall apart. Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup and microwave on 50% power for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until just about melted. Let it melt the last little bit just by stirring. Dont overheat the chocolate or it will seize. Spread the chocolate over the bars or drizzle it over top. Allow to cool for at least 2 hours at room temperature before cutting into bars. Store in a sealed container at room temperature for 4-5 days. Notes: 1. These bars require quick-cooking oats. If you only have rolled oats then give them a quick pulse in the food processor to break them down a bit. Otherwise, the bars will likely fall apart. 2. Also, the chocolate on these bars is a very thin layer on top, not quite reaching the very edges if you spread it. If you want a thicker layer you could double the amount of chocolate used, or you could just drizzle it across the bars. 3. I toasted my oats and coconut, but you dont need to bother if you dont want to. It just adds a little more flavour!

Herbed Focaccia with Caramelized Onions and Olives
3 whole Onions (on The Smaller Side). 2 Tablespoons Butter. 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil. 2 pinches Kosher Salt. 1 teaspoon Honey. 1 cup Warm Water (110 F). 1 package (1/4 Oz. Size) Active Dry Yeast. 2- 3/4 cups Bread Flour, Plus More For Dusting Work Space. 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt. 2- 1/2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning. 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder. 1/4 teaspoons Black Pepepr. 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, For Coating Bowl Greasing Baking Sheet. 1/4 cups Kalamata Olives, Halved. 1 whole Drizzle Of Roasted Garlic Olive Oil, For Finished Bread (optional).
Halve and peel 3 small onions and slice them into vertical strips. Heat butter and one tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add in the onions and sprinkle with a pinch or two of salt. Cover the skillet, stirring occasionally until onions are a deep golden. The whole caramelizing onions bit takes about 20-25 minutes so you can get crackin on the dough. Meanwhile make the dough. Mix the honey, warm water and yeast in a small measuring cup or bowl. Let the mixture proof for 10 minutes In a large bowl, stir together flour, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and black pepper. Add the yeast/water to the dry ingredients stirring to combine. Continue mixing until the dough has pulled together. Then, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a large bowl, place dough in bowl and turn to coat the dough with oil (going up and around the sides of the bowl). Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm/dry place for 30-45 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 F and grease a rimmed baking sheet with a little olive oil. Punch dough down, place it on the greased baking sheet and spread it out using your fingertips. Pat dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle {keep it rustic looking}. Using your knuckles, make indentations in the dough about 1/2-inch apart. If you are making plain (without toppings) then prick dough with a fork in addition to making the indentations. Top the dough with caramelized onions and olives and bake for 17-20 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown. Remove it from the oven, let it cool slightly, drizzle with roasted garlic olive oil, slice and serve!

Wild Garlic Pesto
50 g sliced almonds (optional, alternative pinenuts). 12 teaspoon salt. 14 teaspoon fresh ground pepper. 75 g wild garlic sprouts. 150 ml olive oil to cover in the jars. extra to cover in the jar. parmesan cheese, to serve (or grana padano or pecorino).
In a small pan, gently roast the sliced almonds. Dont use any cooking oil. Add almonds, salt, pepper and wild garlic leaves to a small food processor. Run at a high level until the garlic leaves are finely chopped and combined with the other ingredients. Slowly add oil through feed tube to make a nice paste. Taste and add more salt and pepper if you like...or add it later when you add the pesto to a meal. Add more oil if you prefer it creamy. Once everything is combined, scoop the pesto into a small, clean canning jar with a lid. I used a spatula to get everything out of the food processor and into the jar without loss or too much hassle. Pour enough olive oil over the pesto in the jar to cover it. Store in your refrigerator up to a few months...if you dont eat it all by then. When you take some of the pesto out, remember to cover it back up again with olive oil as needed. Serve on pasta and add fresh grated parmesan, grana padano or pecorino cheese.

Tahinopita
2 14 cups whole wheat pastry flour or 2 14 cups unbleached white flour. 3 14 teaspoons baking soda, sifted. 12 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon cinnamon. 34 cup tahini. 34 cup orange juice. 12 cup sugar. 12-34 cup raisins (I used half each Thompson and golden raisins). 13 cup walnuts, finely chopped (optional). 12 cup sugar (optional). 13 cup water (optional).
Preheat the oven to 350F Oil an 8-by-8 inch square pan or a 9-inch round pan and dust thoroughly with flour. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Pour the tahini into a large mixing bowl and slowly drizzle in the orange juice while beating with an electric beater. Add the sugar and beat well for several minutes, until this mixture is smooth and lighter in color. Add the dry ingredients and continue mixing with the beaters. The dough will be thick like cookie dough, so you'll have to stop and clean the beaters out when they get bogged down! Be patient, it IS worth it. :-D When it's well mixed, knead in the raisins and walnuts, if using- they ARE tasty! Press the dough into the prepared pan, using a spatula or slightly moistened fingers to press the dough into place and smooth out the top. Bake for 35 to 38 minutes, until light golden brown on top- be sure it's baked through, but careful not to let it dry out. Let the cake rest in the pan for several minutes, then remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack. You have three options: eat the cake just like this (YUMMM), dust it lightly with powdered sugar, or, as Jennifer says, you can "be really Greek about it" and make a sugar syrup: Boil the sugar and water together in a small saucepan for about 10 minutes to form a slightly thick syrup. Drizzle the syrup liberally over the top of the cake and brush on the sides. Whichever way you decide, cut this edible Greek glory into squares or wedges and enjoy!

Fresh Pasta Dough
11 ounces, weight All-purpose Flour (11 Ounces Is About 2 1/4 Cups). 3 whole Eggs. 1 pinch Salt.
1. Form the flour into a big well on a clean work surface. Crack the eggs into the well along with the salt. With a fork, break up the eggs while slowly incorporating the flour. Avoid breaking the well so that the egg doesnt run all over the place. Once a soft dough starts to form, bring it together with your clean hands into a firm ball of dough. 2. Knead the ball of dough for 3-4 minutes to completely make it uniform and smooth. Then wrap it in plastic and set it aside to rest for an hour. This allows the gluten in the flour to relax and makes the dough tender. 3. Once it is rested, unwrap the dough and cut it in half. Either with a stand mixer pasta roller attachment or a hand roller, keep rolling out the first half until it is so thin that you can almost see your hand through it. It will be too long to work with by this point, so cut the rolled out sheet in half. Repeat with the other half of the dough ball. 4. Cut the pasta dough into the desired shape. The stand mixer rolling attachment also comes with a spaghetti cutter and fettuccine cutter. You could also hand cut ravioli or pappardelle. The pasta-bilities are endless! 5. Once you finish rolling out and cutting the pasta, cover it with a tea towel while you bring a pot of water to a boil. Then just boil the pasta for 2-3 minutes until it is tender. Thats another great thing about fresh pasta. It cooks much faster than dry pasta! I always like to get cooked pasta into the pot of whichever sauce I am making and let it absorb the sauce for a minute, then just plate it and serve.

Cherry Tomatoes With Tamarind Dressing
12 teaspoon cumin seed. 12 teaspoon fennel seed. 2 teaspoons tamarind paste. 2 tablespoons hot water. 1 -2 teaspoon mild honey. 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. 14 teaspoon salt. 14 teaspoon black pepper. 3 cups mixed cherry tomatoes, halved (1 pound).

Fougasse with Provencal Herbs
1 1/2 cups warm water (105F to 115F). 1 teaspoon dry yeast. 4 cups (about) unbleached all purpose flour. 2 tablespoons dried herbes de Provence*. 2 teaspoons fine sea salt. 4 tablespoons olive oil. Yellow cornmeal. *A dried herb mixture available at specialty foods stores and in the spice section of some supermarkets. A combination of dried thyme, basil, savory and fennel seeds can be substituted..
Pour 1 1/2 cups warm water into large bowl; sprinkle yeast over. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence and sea salt, then 2 tablespoons oil until well blended. Mix in enough flour, 1 cup at a time, to form thick and slightly sticky dough. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Form into ball. Oil large bowl. Add dough; turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then towel. Let rise in warm draft-free area until doubled, about 1 hour. Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in top third of oven and preheat to 450F. Sprinkle 2 baking sheets generously with cornmeal. Punch dough down. Turn out onto floured surface; divide in half. Press out each half to 11x8-inch irregularly shaped oval. Transfer to prepared baking sheets. Brush each oval with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle each with 1 1/2 teaspoons herbes de Provence. Using sharp knife, make several 2-inch-long cuts in each oval (do not cut through edges), spacing cuts evenly apart and cutting through dough to work surface. Pull dough apart at cuts to create openings. Cover loosely with plastic; let rise in warm draft-free area until slightly puffed, about 20 minutes. Place dough in oven. Immediately pour about 1/4 cup water onto bottom of oven, creating steam. Bake breads until golden on top and slightly crisp on bottom, switching sheets between racks and turning front of each sheet to back of oven halfway through baking, about 18 minutes. Transfer sheets to racks; cool breads 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Basil-Red Bell Pepper Chicken Tikka
1/2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken, Cut Into Small Chunks. 1/4 cups Yogurt. 2 Tablespoons Fresh Grated Ginger. 4 cloves Garlic, Peeled. 8 pieces Basil Leaves. 2 whole Red Bell Peppers, Stem And Seeds Removed, Cut Into Bite-size Chunks, Divided Use. 1 whole Large Egg. 5 Tablespoons Water. 1/2 cups Bread Crumbs. 4 Tablespoons Corn Flour. 1/4 cups Shredded Cheese I Used Parmesan, Use Your Preferred Type Or Skip. 2 teaspoons Red Chili Flakes. 2 teaspoons Salt As Per Taste. 1/4 cups Oil. 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice. 1 whole Avocado.
Into a food processor, add chicken, yogurt, ginger, garlic, basil leaves, 1/2 cup bell peppers, egg and water. Use the chopping blade and pulse/churn to make a smooth and thick almost dough like batter. In a large bowl, add the chicken mixture, bread crumbs, corn flour, Parmesan cheese, chili flakes and salt and give it a good mix to combine everything. Once the mixture is well combined, make small (palm-sized) patties and set them on a platter. (Makes 15 patties) Heat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Dab the remaining red bell pepper with some oil and roast them in the pan until they have brown marks on them (takes 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and allow them to cool in a bowl. In the same non-stick pan, add some more oil and saute the already made patties till they are dark brown in color and chicken is evenly cooked on all sides. Then add the lemon juice and continue cooking for 5 minutes longer. Peel, pit and cut the avocado into long strips. (Do this step just before serving as avocado will turn brown very quickly due to high iron content). Serve the tikkas along with roasted peppers and avocado.
