One type of Christmas cookie you’ll find in the Van Evera house.
Salads & Dressings > Swiss Salad “Sauce”
From the kitchen of Max Von Ballmoos
Salad Dressing (Basic) − 42 Cal / Tbsp
Soups & Stews > Sweet Red Pepper Soup
From the kitchen of The Gaslight Inn Bed and Breakfast - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Vegetables > Barbequed Pineapple
A yummy side dish for jerked meat. I used canned pineapple as dissecting a fresh pineapple is a little too dangerous for my citrus allergy. I didn’t have any rum on hand so I just substituted a little pineapple juice instead.
Pasta, Rice & Grains > Jamaican Beans and Rice Dish
Not a bad rice side dish. But I used a lot more coconut milk. I don’t think that one cup is enough.
Soups & Stews > Cream of Broccoli Soup (Lower-fat)
From the kitchen of Nutrition & Healthy Recipes : 24 Hour Recipes : Soups & Stews
Salads & Dressings > Kartoffelsalat (Swiss-style Potato Salad)
This potato salad is quite good and has four tablespoons of oil instead of mayonnaise − you might even be able to use less oil. This salad is also quite good on the second or third day as well.
Sauces & Relishes > Applesauce
From the kitchen of Kath
This is a relatively easy-to-make recipe for chunky applesauce.
Soups & Stews > Chicken Soup with Coconut Milk and Lemongrass
From the kitchen of Jean-Georges: Cooking At Home with a Four-Star Chef (Broadway Books, 1998)
Makes 4 servings
A more-or-less traditional Thai dish that has been on the Vong menu since its opening, this combines bright flavors and a lovely combination of colors. The soup is yellow, with brown shiitake, white chicken, and bright green cilantro peeking through the broth.
The base of this can be prepared in advance and, in fact, tastes better when it is done a day ahead.
To turn into a main course, increase the amount of chicken to a pound or more, and serve with white rice, which can be eaten on the side or spooned into the soup.
Pasta, Rice & Grains > Pad Thai − Vegetarian
