Authentic Caribbean Chicken Stew

Recipe by: winstono2005

Reviews(3)

This is my favourite Caribbean dish which is very well seasoned (a trademark of Caribbean food) and have always enjoyed it as a child. The sauce should not be as thick as a curry and not too watery if that makes any sense. There are many varieties of this dish and is always best served with rice and peas and West Indian pepper sauce.

Besondere Veränderung von Gluhwein

Recipe by: bigo79

The old German classic Christmas and winter warmer. Boozy, spicy and indulgent. Similar to the British mulled wine. Great at a Christmas dinner party or for Bonfire Night as a winter warmer.

Bisschopswijn

Recipe by: else

Be the first to review it!

Bisschopswijn, meaning 'bishop's wine', is the Dutch version of the German gluehwein, a hot drink for snowy holidays that makes you glow inside. Don't drink this if you have to drive tonight! Each household has its own variety, this is the one my Dutch neighbors used to make when I was a kid in Amsterdam, for Christmas and New Year's Eve.

Chocolate Orange Fondue

Recipe by: DRANDYP

Be the first to review it!

A chocolate and orange piece of heaven, great with strawberries and cake for dipping! For best results use a chocolate that is at least 70 percent cocoa.

Cranberry Sauce

Recipe by: Toni

Reviews(2)

The tart flavour of fresh cranberries with a hint of orange. I like to add a little orange zest too!

Crostini alla Fiorentina

Recipe by: nostatic

Be the first to review it!

This is a traditional Italian starter that is, essentially, liver pate served on toasted rustic bread. This is a nice recipe for parties and wine tastings. For vegetarians in attendance, you can also prepare a version with finely chopped (and drained) herbed tomatoes as it is equally delicious. You can serve the dish hot or cold on toasted baguette or ciabatta.

Fig and Olive Tapenade

Recipe by: Anne

Reviews(4)

This is an easy gourmet starter. I often add some chopped green olives to the olive mixture and a little more balsamic. A fresh, rindless goat's cheese may also be used in place of the cream cheese. Serve with slices of toasted baguette or crackers.

Foolproof Chocolate Fudge

Recipe by: Terrie

Be the first to review it!

This fudge recipe is decadently creamy and everyone requests it at Christmas. While preparing, be sure that you don't let the mixture get hotter than 114 degrees C or it gets really dry but still tastes good.

Recipe by: gloduerr
