ISO easy, make-ahead, & tasty Gluten free AND Casein free Recipes
Trying to help my best friend with her son's diet. He's on the autisim spectrum and it was highly suggested that gluten free AND casein free diet will improve his diagnosis. It is really hard to find products that replace staples like bread and sweets, and food choices in general for this 5 year old boy. He has a sophisticated palate for his age, loves fish and other foods. My friend also has a 3 year old girl that doesn't have any dietary restrictions. Most of the products are not tasty and devoid of any nutritional value. She is interested in freeze-ahead, make-ahead meals and everyday, easy recipes. We've searched the web and we are now looking to our Hounds that may help us with suggestions and/or recommendations. Thank you.
Just got an immersion blender and mini food processor for my birthday - now I want to play with them!
Whats the best brand for an immersion blender thats includes the attachments?

Never had a bad steak or meal there but pricy. Capital Grille, IMHO, is not consistent. Forget Chuck's Steak House.

Cooking Magazines & Online Subscriptions
I have recently stopped many subscriptions of cooking subscriptions because of the cost and my ability to access and peruse recipes, interesting blogs, and food articles online. The only one that has made my budget cut is Cooks Illustrated (although I subscribe online and the print version is risking termination), Bon Appetit, and Fine Cooking. My guilty pleasure subscriptions that are now gone are Rachel Ray (please no bashing, lol) and Food Network. Also gone are Cuisine at Home and Savour which never gave me much enjoyment anyway.
I know for sure Cooks Illustrated online will stay and I buy the annual and specialty books (why?, out of habit) but which subscriptions, online or print are a must?
With so many blogs (food52.com) one of my recent favorites and online subscriptions, print seems like a waste of money.
Looking foward to CH's feedback.
Cheese Shops in Connecticut
If your in Fairfield County, I highly recommend Darien Cheese Shop in the Goodwives Shopping Center. Very knowlegable and enthusastic staff. They offer,hard to find and artisinal condiments, coffee, tea and salami. Grateful that they are 1 mile away from me.
Cookbooks you shouldn't have purchased...which books just didn't work for you?
Recent Letdown: Spain: A culinary Road Trip by Mario Batali with Gwyenth Paltrow. Nothing new or substantial. Simply an impulse purchase.
Easy Dinner Party Ideas for Five?
Glad you like the quote but ashamed for my lazy spelling! Enjoy the cruise as we get another 6-12 inches of snow! Let us know how your dinner fared!
Easy Dinner Party Ideas for Five?
I agree with Beef Stew with potatoes and veggies and large can of diced tomatoes. Make it in a crockpot and make the day before. Serve with a hearty salad with good cheese, pears or apples, and toasted nuts with a simple vinegarette. Buy a loaf of artisinal bread, warm when serving, and serve with Lurac butter. Appetizer perhaps simple crudite and ranch dip, popcorn and nut mix (retro?) and booze. For dessert (make ahead) sandwich vanilla bean between tates cookies and roll edges in nuts or small choc chips. Lotys of booze and dinner is done and cleanu-up is miniumal. Make sure your dishwasher is empty after dinner and have your guests help clear the table and load the washer.
Leftover wonton wrappers
brush some with veg oil and spice up and bake as alt to chips. agree with the mini muffin, add anything you like. i did chopped pear procuitto & blue cheese or chopped chicken mixed with ranch for tasty appetizers. i use them when im feeling creativce but always bake or pan fry, i dont do deep frying. enjoy.
Making Beef Stew today....but.... can it be held over until tomorrow night?
Recipe sounds great. Beef Stew always benefits, IMHO, with sitting in the fridge and enjoying the next day (slowly reheated) - Potatoes and all but I would suggest chunks so it doesnt disintergrate. I add Bay leafs and can tomato paste or diced tomatoes.

Anyone know of a place that serves Poutine in FFC?
Looking for a restaurant that serves Poutine in FFC
Would really like to try this Quebec snack without driving to NYC. Does anyone know any restaurants serving this dish, which is comprised of crisp fries, gravy, and cheese curds?
Read about this before but this link has me going crazy to try,

VillageVines - Has anyone used it to make discounted food reservations in NYC
My friend just booked a dinner reservarion for us tomorrow night at Artisinal and paid $10 for an offer of 25% off the entire bill, including alcohol. They offer many choices and seems to good to be true. Hounds - has anyone register at this site and used the savings code with satisfactory results?
I've listed the instructions, per VillageVines.com :
How to Enjoy Your VillageVines Meal:
When you show up for your reservation, simply remind the host / hostess that you made your booking through VillageVines.
Please remember to tip on the pre-discounted bill – just because you got a great deal doesn't mean their staff didn't work as hard!
You can adjust or cancel your booking up to two hours before your reservation time from your My Account page. If your cancellation is made at least two hours in advance, your booking fee will be credited to your VillageVines account.
That's it - enjoy your meal!

Update: Still in cutomer service/head office negotiations. Cascade gel packs work much better than Finish. Heard about Bosche oven range nightmares recently. Thanks hounds for the support, advice and a place to vent!

No price range and great reco's. We're going to Artisinal - tried and true. I noted your recos for future dining. Thanks, hounds : )
Two 40 year olds females, one low key, high quality food restaurant recommendation needed for Thurs - 10/6
We love french bistros and American with a twist. Looking for a low-key, flavor packed dinner to eat, talk, run out to smoke a butt (if needbe) without an attitude, if possible. Celebrating my friends b-day. . Ideal location open if the food is right. Otherwise looking for East 10, 20, 30 & 40's or Flatiron. No dress code preferred. Thanks, Hounds

Buffalo Wings, A really good cheeseburger and french fries with tons of condiments (e.g. mayo, bernaise, gravy, ketchup)
what can't you get?
So agree, Burge... I live in Wasp New England Hell where the tastebuds are numbed by alcohol. Opps, did I say that? Oh yes I did...

New Years Eve Drinking & Dining
I agree. So many great restuarants that dont need overcharge for their rent. What do you two like in a fun New Years Restuarant. Be specific and I'm sure the hounds will tailor you to a perfect choice!

Fachon - You guessed right. I need to beg Bosche to buy back if possible or sell/donate mine and suck it up and buy a new one. Bosche authorized repairman is coming today (the have a full history repair report offered to submit a request for a new machine) to replace a washer. This will be the 3rd service call since I have this piece of crapola in 3 months. I surrender. Consumer Reports - they can bite me and have canx my subscription.
