Would any of you members like to send me your favorite receipes to put into an AK cookbook?

It seems like most of us have a passion for cooking and like to share things, what better way.

If interested in contributing to this cause I do ask that you email me with receipes.

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks much.

It seems to me that you already have the beginnings of a good one right here on AK. I'm also a member of The Grumble, a message board for picture framers. A while ago we started a thread for recipes which mushroomed (pardon the pun) into a monster. One of our members took all the recipes, put them into PDF format and CD to make The Grumble Cookbook (http://www.custompictureframing.com/cookbook/ ). Maybe someone here on AK can do the same with all the recipes that have been posted here over the years. If a bunch of picture framers can do it, imagine what a group of audiophiles can do!

Got this from Good Eats...

1 gallon peanut oil
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons (approximately 1 large) jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
1 (8.5-ounce) can cream-style corn
1/3 cup finely grated onion
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons cornstarch, for dredging
8 beef hot dogs

Special equipment: 8 sets chopsticks, not separated
Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the jalapeno, corn, onion, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once, and stir only enough times to bring the batter together; there should be lumps. Set batter aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Scatter the cornstarch into a dry pie pan. Roll each hot dog in the cornstarch and tap well to remove any excess.

Transfer enough batter to almost fill a large drinking glass. Refill the glass as needed. Place each hot dog on chopsticks, and quickly dip in and out of the batter. Immediately and carefully place each hot dog into the oil, and cook until coating is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. With tongs, remove to cooling rack, and allow to drain for 3 to 5 minutes.

Enjoy with your favorite adult beverage.

This is my intention. I will also put in the receiples that are listed on AK already - but was looking for more to add. You never know this gives someone the opportunity who has a favorite to contribute.

I am willing to do this, as I am home and this will give me a little project to do with my time. :)

They're not exactly Norwegian Browns, but I have several recipes for Muskrat, Kam, if you or 'toze would like to try them.

Pretty tasty.

Never tried them with Brussels Sprouts.

Although I have yet to try it, this sounds excellent. And pay no attention to the haters who obviously have "tin tongues".

I’m looking for a killer Prime rib recipe…. Never been able to master that one.

Has anyone traveled to Germany? There is a butter sauce they use on beef…. I’d love to find that one as well.

How about Pepper corn sautéed Portabella mushrooms?
On the grill ?
With a nice steak and Asparagus spears

My idea of a recipe is to search Zagat for the nearest Fleming's steakhouse, and drive quickly.

I think my wife cooked something once, I'll ask her to contribute!

IMHO we Brooklynites have the best steak house...check out Peter Luger's (http://www.peterluger.com/) If you want to taste a bit of heaven sometime...just make sure you take out a morgate on your house first! :yes: :thmbsp:

So a fast question for all you members. If we were to produce a cookbook would you prefer paper or cd rom?

Thank you all for your time.

cd rom for me

Why not a big pdf file? First downloads from AK would be $10, and it can continue to grow with time with upate downloads for $2.

Good think I'm not in marketing, right?

Even better. No shipping, cheaper for AK.

Why not PDF and CD-ROM? The downloads would be great for quick reference, and the CD-Rom would make a great holiday gift and a nifty plug for AK!

The PDF thing would be fantastic….
Maybe a little laptop on the countertop…

.pdf and CD-rom sounds great. That way I can keep a copy for myself and give away CD-roms to my friends.

Now to try and translate my recipes from "a bit of this and a lot of that" to something usable by nooks (new cooks :D )

Ramen Stirfry

I usually make a stir fry out of 'em.

Two Packets Ramen (any flavor, you're going to throw away the flavor packets)
1 cup stir fry vegetables (broccoli, carrots, onions, mushrooms)
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup cooking Sherry
One teaspoon sesame seed oil
One tablespoon olive oil (peanut oil works well but I'm allergic so...)
Small red chilis (optional)

Drop whole noodle packets in boiling water. Cook until soft enoughto manipulate but not squishy, a little harder than al dente.

While that is boiling, in a seperate pan heat oils. Once oil is heated add the vegetables, chilis if you want to, and crushed garlic (chopped works as well but I prefer it with a crusher). Stir this around for about two minutes then add the Sherry.

Once noodles are at the desired state fill a measuring cup with water and keep to the side. Put noodles in pan with vegetables. Stir well and make sure all flavors are around the noodles. Pour water from measuring cup as needed. Once noodles are at desired state, a little crisp but still soft, serve.

French Onion flavor?
Can't say I've ever seen that before....but I'll look! The thing about chip dip (for me at least).....is that when that tiny little can of dip is gone I'm done eating chips! Just can't have chips without dip. :D
