this is from one of my most prized cookbooks compendium of cookery and reliable recipes.copywrite 1890.it is so old i'm almost afraid to touch the pages.i wouldn't make this but i thought it would be fun to post it.it dosen't give a baking time so i'll guess at it but keep in mind they cooked on wood stoves then. them measure in goblets!!
💬 Reviews (Very nice but I used Tony Chachere's Roux Mix instead of making it from scratch. I had to make adjustments to the recipe as a result. Also I cannot get craw fish so I used artificial crab. It did end up as a very tasty dinner. With all the adjustments due to my laziness I cannot in fairness take away stars so will make it a 5 star - I am sure it deserves it because even with all my fiddling this was still a very tasty dinner . When I can get crawfish I will make this recipe again and make the roux from scratch. I didn't think that using the Instant Roux would give me so many problems.)

this recipe is from cook 'em horns published by the university of texas ex-students' association. it is the only enchilada sauce recipe i use, period. homemade is always best. i have used a blender, but i don't blend all the tomatoes. i have also used a potato masher for the tomatoes for a thicker sauce. cooking and prep time to not include preparing the enchiladas. serve on beef, chicken, vegetarian...just about any kind of enchilada.
💬 Reviews (Clear five stars!!! Actually made it to use in recipe #306275 but it's fantastic on it's own! Maybe because I used rice syrup instead of sugar and 80 percent chocolate instead of 65 percent it's extremely smooth and velvety. I don't like those watery chocolate sorbets, so this one definitely is it for me! This will be my standard chocolate sorbet. Thanks for posting!)

from the galt cookbook, published in 1898. i have adapted it slightly, by adding quantities and instructions. to my complete surprise these remind me a little of lo bak go, (dim sum popular at chinese new years.) the good ladies of galt are no doubt rolling in their graves, but i serve these with a good whack of chile-garlic sauce 'cause that's how i like my lo bak go too. these are not the sort of thing to make from scratch, but from the leftovers of a ham-and-potato meal. they are easiest to mix if the potatoes are still warm, so set them on to poach as you clean up after dinner. then, they can be fried up when you want them. keep cakes wrapped in the fridge until ready to fry. they will keep for a couple days, so you don't have to fry all of them at once. i should also note that i use an unsalted smoked ham, so you may wish to reduce or eliminate the salt if your ham is salted.
💬 Reviews (I made this a few years ago, from the godiva chocolate website. Absolutely 1000% fab, should have 10 stars cannot say enough about it,honestly speechless, Its only downfall is time and can be tricky. but if you choose to make it you will not be dissapointed.)

a delicious 18th century recipe from the county of somerset; somerset is the home of england's most notorious cider, 'scrumpy', a seemingly innocent drink to the unwary! however, cider makes an excellent substitute for wine in cooking and tenderises the meat beautifully. the addition of honey blends extremly well with the cider, and adds a complexity to this easily baked chicken dish. serve with steamed greens and baked or mashed potatoes.
💬 Reviews (I'm trying to learn better ways to cook oatmeal so that I'll enjoy eating it more often. This is really good! I really liked a different baked oatmeal dish, so thought I would try this one. This one is nothing like the other, but is also really good. I used blueberries instead od cranberries. It is nice to eat oatmeal that isn't too sweet! Thanks!)

you should serve this with a sweet vanilla sauce like recipe #240314.
💬 Reviews (This is wonderful! Very flavorful. The oatmeal isn't mushy - it's still a bit chewy -just the way I like it. I cut the recipe in half except for the butter and brown sugar - I used less than half of those. It worked out very well. I think that this would be great in Cooked Oatmeal Scones #46876. I'll make extra next time so that I can do just that with the leftovers. Thanks for a great recipe.)
