Wicked Hot Chocolate Mousse 

Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis
Show: Everyday Italian
Episode: Hot & Spicy


Difficulty: Medium 
Prep Time: 20 minutes 
Inactive Prep Time: 3 hours 
Cook Time: 5 minutes 
Yield: 6 servings 

4 large eggs, separated* 
1/2 cup sugar 
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 
1/4 cup water 
3 tablespoons coffee liqueur 
4 teaspoons Chili Oil, recipe follows 
7 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped 
Spicy Whipped Cream, recipe follows

Whisk the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of sugar, butter, 1/4 cup of water, coffee 
liqueur, and chili oil in a large metal bowl to blend. Set the bowl over a 
saucepan of simmering water (do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the 
water); whisk constantly until the mixture is very thick and frothy, about 3 
minutes. Add the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the 
heat. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in another large bowl to 
soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, beating until stiff 
and glossy peaks form. Remove the chocolate from over the water. Fold 1/3 of 
the meringue into the warm chocolate mixture to lighten, then fold in the 
remaining meringue. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, 
at least 3 hours or overnight. Spoon the mousse into 6-ounce bowls. Top with 
spicy whipped cream and serve. 

Chili Oil: 
2 cups olive oil 
4 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper flakes 

Combine the oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a heavy small saucepan. Cook 
over low heat until a thermometer inserted into the oil registers 180 degrees 
F, about 5 minutes. 
Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Transfer the oil and 
pepper flakes to a 4-ounce bottle. Seal the lid. Refrigerate up to 1 month. 

Yield: 2 cups 
Prep Time: 2 minutes 
Cook Time: 5 minutes 
Inactive Prep Time: 2 hours 

Spicy Whipped Cream: 
1 cup heavy cream 
1/4 cup granulated sugar 
Cocoa powder 
Ground cayenne pepper 

With an electric mixer, whip cream gradually adding the sugar until soft peaks 
form. Top with a dusting of cocoa powder and a pinch of cayenne. Serve 
immediately.

and the shell.

Really Onion Dip 

Recipe courtesy Food Network Kitchens Cookbook, Meredith, 2003
Show: Sara's Secrets
Episode: Family Favorites


Difficulty: Easy 
Prep Time: 30 minutes 
Inactive Prep Time: 3 hours 
Cook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes 
Yield: 4 cups 

3 medium onions, 2 unpeeled, 1 peeled 
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil 
2 cups mayonnaise 
1/2 cup sour cream 
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Rub unpeeled onions with a bit of the olive oil;

onion. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add remaining oil and heat 
until quite hot. Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until edges 
begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Turn to medium-low and cook until onion is 
golden brown, about 18 minutes. Scrape onion, oil, and juices into a sieve over 
a bowl. Drain onions and spread on a paper towel-lined plate. Cool the strained 
oil. Puree roasted onions in a food processor. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, 
vinegar, and salt; pulse until smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in 1/4 
cup of the flavored reserved oil. Transfer to a serving bowl. Stir in 
scallions, pepper, and hot sauce to taste. Refrigerate at least 3 hours. 
Scatter the fried onions over the top just before serving with potato chips.

Fantastic French Toast

From: Family Time
Prep: 5 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:


2 eggs 
3/4 cup milk 
1 tbsp. sugar 
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon or vanilla extract
pinch salt 
8 slices day-old homemade style bread or any slightly stale bread


Directions:


Preheat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly beat the eggs in a 
pie plate or similar shallow dish. Stir in the milk, sugar, cinnamon or 
vanilla, and salt. Put about 1 tablespoon of butter or oil on the hot griddle 
or in the skillet. While it's heating, dip a slice of bread in the egg mixture. 
Turn it to coat both sides and then transfer it to the griddle. Continue to 
coat the rest of the bread slices. Add more butter or oil as needed to the pan 
to prevent sticking. Cook 1 or 2 slices at a time. Cook the bread for 30 
seconds to a minute, or so, until lightly browned. Turn and cook until lightly 
browned on the other side. Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and 
serve hot. Serve with syrup or jam.
To keep the French toast warm, put it in a 200 degree F oven for up to 30 
minutes.

Free Recipes zinfandel beef stock

zinfandel beef stock

It's worth the extra effort to make this rich stock; the slow-simmered taste 
produces a sauce that far exceeds any made with canned beef broth. 
This recipe is an accompaniment for Standing Rib Roast with Rosemary-Thyme 
Crust..
Servings: Makes about 3 1/2 cups.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 1/2 to 4 pounds meaty beef bones (such as neck bones, beef back ribs, or 
crosscut beef shank) 
2 cups chopped onions
2/3 cup chopped carrots
2/3 cup chopped celery
3 quarts cold water
1 cup Zinfandel or other hearty red wine
4 large fresh thyme sprigs
3 large fresh parsley sprigs
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 

Directions

Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add beef bones; sprinkle with salt 
and pepper. Sauté until deep brown, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes. 
Using tongs, transfer bones to bowl. Add onions, carrots, and celery to pot. 
Sauté until deep brown, about 10 minutes. Return bones and any juices to pot. 
Add 3 quarts cold water, wine, and next 3 ingredients. Bring to boil. Reduce 
heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced to 3 1/2 cups liquid, about 3 
hours. Strain stock into bowl. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, at least 4 
hours. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover; keep chilled.) Spoon off fat before 
using stock.

The Ultimate Potato Gratin 

Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence
Difficulty: Easy 
Prep Time: 20 minutes 
Inactive Prep Time: 10 minutes 
Cook Time: 1 hour 35 minutes 
Yield: 6 to 8 servings 

1 head savoy cabbage, cored, cleaned, and shredded 
1 (2-inch) piece slab bacon, thinly sliced 
2 tablespoons unsalted butter 
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped 
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 
1/2 bunch fresh chives, finely chopped to 1/4 cup 
2 pounds baking potatoes, unpeeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch), see 
Cook's note* 
2 1/2 cups heavy cream 
2 cups grated Parmesan

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Finely shred the cabbage. Cut the bacon into 
1/2-inch chunks. Place a small skillet over medium-low heat and fry the bacon, 
until crisp. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. 
Set aside. Add 1 tablespoon butter to bacon fat in frying pan. When it has 
melted add 1/2 the garlic and give it a quick stir with a wooden spoon to 
soften. Add the cabbage and coat it with the butter. Slowly let it wilt. Add 
the bacon. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove from heat 
and add most of the chives, reserving a little for the garnish. Generously 
butter the bottom and sides of a 9 by 13-inch ovenproof casserole dish. In a 
large bowl, combine the potatoes, 1 1/2 cups of cream, 1 cup of Parmesan, and 
the remaining garlic. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using 
your hands, place a layer of potatoes in the casserole dish. Sprinkle with 
Parmesan and repeat with 2 more layers. Spoon
 the cabbage mixture on top and spread it out evenly over the potatoes. Top it 
off with 2 more layers of potato and Parmesan. Pour the remaining 1 cup cream 
over the dish. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Cover dish with aluminum 
foil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown. 
Leave for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chives. 

*Cook's Note: Slice the potatoes immediately before using so they don't turn 
brown.
