blisscoy asked: I’ve finally mastered the basic white bread recipe with yeast, flour, water and oil. It comes out as a soft yet chewy bread.
I see other recipes where an egg is added or milk is substituted for water. What does this do to the texture and firmness of the bread?
Thanks in advance.

GonzoH asked: The recipe is from a late 1970’s or early 1980’s cookbook with a lots of LDS quotes from their book of morman. The bread recipe also contained the same amount of oil, and a lost more recipes especially a fabulous whole carrot cake or bread.

Kitty asked: I have gone to ALL the online recipe sites and baked dozens of their recipes only to be disappointed. I know I might be expecting too much when I simply want a light airy bread (from a bread machine) but some of the recipes have produced actual bricks of bread…. uuuug ! ALL of the recipes made claims of them being the best too so perhaps bread machine bread just isn’t for me.
Any advice towards a lighter, airier(is that a word? ha ha) bread from this stupid machine would be soooooooo appreciated. I don’t need advice on experimenting with different flours, grains, yeasts etc… I have done ALL that over a 17 year period of owning this darn machine… A recipe would be great, one that YOU have tried and never failed. Hard to believe I have been a chef for 26 years and can’t get a decent loaf of bread from a machine, good grief !!!
HELP !!
: )
Thanks hyway I will try this one TODAY !! and let you know.

coronationcats asked: I’ll be using large king crab legs and am prepared to boil the shells to make the stock. I’m thinking i’d like to use cream, brandy, fresh dill and perhaps a bit of tomato paste (little bit of tomato paste!) for colour. Please help me with recipes or links.

colormecolorado asked: I would like to take boneless, skinless chicken breast, roll it, and stuff it with some kind of cheese and crab meat filling. I think it sounds delicious, but I can’t find any recipes like that and I’m a little afraid to simply experiment. What kinds of cheeses/ingredients would you recommend for the stuffing? Thanks!

flyingdog asked: Had a simply fantastic crab pot for lunch the other day - I know there was crab, creme fraiche and coriander in it, and I’m thinking maybe dill too - does anyone have any really lovely recipes for a crab pot? It was served cold, with a salad, crusty bread and a wedge of lime.

Kay P asked: I NEED IT NOW! We’re heading out to FL TOMORROW! Eek!
Okay, so, my mom’s birthday is going to be during our vacation and I’m going to make her a three-course meal.
1st: Heirloom tomato salad (the flea-market in Daytona has lots of great veggies!)
2nd: Crab alfredo, baked potato, and some fresh-grilled veggies
3rd: Baked peaches (Because the daytona flea-market has peaches of WIN.)
To drink there will be a nice white wine of my mothers pick, and then a nice campagne w/ strawberries as we sit out on the beach-front balcony of our condo… *sigh*.
I need: A thick, creamy, butter crab alfredo recipe and a good topping idea for my peaches. (something creamy and sweet; I may just go with ice-cream, mint, and a bit of honey.)
Please, send me your alfedo recipes! I plan to make the entire thing from scratch!
Thanks!

thoroldjames asked: I am making cabbage rolls today for a family function and I want to make a large roaster full, so I would like to layer them so I get more in a pan. This is because I will not be able to cooke multiple pans on the day I need them. Most recipes on the internet say that you should place them in a single layer.
Do you think I can safely double them up without having them break all over and cause a big mess?

Tri-Color Rajas
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded
1/2 yellow bell pepper, seeded
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded
3/4 cup Monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/4 tablespoon crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons ripe olives, chopped
Cut bell peppers into 6 strips each, then cut crosswise in halves.
Arrange strips flesh side up on an ungreased ovenproof dish.
A good way to arrange them is to visualize the plate in three triangles, the points being in the center.
Arrange one color pepper on each triangle.
Sprinkle with cheese, red pepper and olives.
Set oven to broil and broil peppers about 3 to 4 inches from heat until cheese melts (about 3 minutes).

Dan_o_mite asked: I bought a 3 lb. bag of imitation crab the other day and I was thinking about putting it into a salad. I have never made anything like this before so I need a little guidance on how to go about it.
The meat is frozen right now.
If I see a couple of good ideas, maybe I’ll make two or three.
Please keep the recipes fairly simple and inexpensive unless you know for sure that they are totally THE BOMB!
Thanks a bunch!!!
These recipes look awesome! I don’t know which to choose!

boccalina asked: I’m looking for a very good recipe for Chinese Crab Claws ( the ones with the minced Shrimp and crab meat, formed into a ball and placed around the actual crab claw), which is served a lot at Dim Sum. Can anyone help me? I’ve seen a few recipes but they are not traditional Chinese but rather a Canadian or American version. (No offence to anyone on here, I just prefer the real thing! *smile*). Thank you!
