Spring rolls are always a big hit at parties, but they are usually deep-fried and high in fat. Baking spring rolls after brushing them with a touch of oil eliminates the need to deep-fry them, without sacrificing that lovely crispy exterior. You can find the wrappers in the freezer section of many grocery stores. Thaw according to package directions before using. Sambal oelek is widely available, but any hot pepper sauce will do.
Ras el hanout offers great bang for your buck in the flavour department. Just a bit of this North African spice blend adds depth to everything from meats to grains to sauces. It can be purchased premixed from Middle Eastern grocery stores or in specialty spice shops. If you can't find it, you can easily make your own using spices you already have on hand.
Glazed salmon fresh off the grill is delicious on its own, but the pickled peach topping makes this dish out of this world! Even better, the crave-worthy condiment starts with humble canned fruit, perfect for when fresh peaches aren't available.
This stunning layer cake will make an extraordinary ending to any Thanksgiving meal. Your guests will love the unique combination of spiced pumpkin cake and rich, buttery chocolate icing.
Kids seem to especially love noodle salads with their crunchy vegetables and appealing sauces, particularly peanut sauce. If your children don't like spicy food, just omit or reduce the hot chili paste. You can also leave out the coriander or replace the egg with shredded cooked chicken.
A combination of our two favourite Easter treats, hot cross buns with chocolate are extra delicious. Purists, worry not—we’ve also included the option to add dried fruit!
Massaman curry powder is a bit hotter than regular grocery store curry blends. If you can't find it, mix regular curry powder with a pinch of cayenne pepper. And don't worry if you don't have an immersion blender for the sauce: A regular blender will work just fine too. If you're not avoiding dairy, a dollop of Balkanstyle plain yogurt on top is a nice way to cool the heat.
For an unforgettable finale, treat your guests to their very own cranberry-filled meringue nests. A boozy whipped cream, known as a syllabub, makes a festive topping.
Heat Rating: Fiery This dish is not for the hot-pepper timid: the quantity of dried hot peppers is essential for the classic taste. The well-cooked meat and the dry, concentrated sauce, with its chewy texture from lemongrass and toasted coconut, are of equal importance. Rendang must be served with plenty of white rice; a cucumber-and-onion salad makes a good accompaniment. Buying a whole roast allows you to cut the beef into large chunks, which are traditional for this celebration dish.
