how to solve a problem like a quince
This was a nice surprise - thank you so much. I am assuming you are in British Columbia? I am in Ontario - don't have a Quince tree of my own but can buy them at market around September. You have made me excited to try again. If you ever have access to Rose Geranium leaves add some of them - you can leave them in or strain them (I order the plants from a Supplier here).
Hot and Sour Soup
I probably will not stick to the Vegetarian version - I will probably use Chicken stock with the ingredients which look wonderful.
Thank you for your help.
Hot and Sour Soup
Thank you so much - I am going to be making a lot of H&S Soup over the next little while - i now have quite a collection of recipes.
Hot and Sour Soup
This looks delicious - i have received a number of versions and this one looks a little more tangy than some -the recipe I lost had preserved vegetables but none of the others seem to.
Thanks so much for your help - I will definitely have a lot of fun experimenting.
Granola
Would anyone have the recipe for Bill Granger's Granola (Melbourne Australia)?
Hot and Sour Soup
Thank you this is not quite like my lost recipe which had preserved vegetables in it, but it looks good, and it may be time for a change anyway.
Hot and Sour Soup
Thank you - I had actually downloaded this recipe when I discovered mine was missing although I have not tried it yet. I agree about the Cilantro although I love it, I would never put it in Hot and Sour Soup.
The recipe I lost had preserved vegetables in it I might add them.
Hot and Sour Soup
Years ago I used to love the Hot and Sour Soup at Chun King Restaurant in Toronto on Spadina south of College (not Peter's Chun King which was around the corner on Spadina). Their Garlic Broccoli was really delicious too.)
When I was pregnant, I had that soup cabbed several times a week to my house in the Beach (shades of Elizabeth Taylor and chii from Chasen's).
I had a recipe that was very similar but it has disappeared (rather, I have misfiled it or lost it?
Can anyone help please|?

Me again-
Does anyone know where in Toronto I can buy this vinegar or any Ontario Mail Order Source?
Rack of Lamb
Have just asked about a specific recipe for Rack of Lamb but have another request.
If anyone has another amazing recipe with and attractive presentation for Rack of Lamb, I would love to know about it.
Les Fougeres Restaurant - Chelsea Quebec
I would like to try the recipe for The Rack of Lamb with Seville and Seaweed Jus from the cookbook "A Year At Les Fougeres", but do not have time to do a test run. As this is for a special dinner, I do not want to make a false step. Has anyone made it?
I am sure it is delicious as this is a wonderful restaurant.
SAVOURY CHOCOLATE
Lots of possibilities here - this would also be good finely chopped as a dessert garnish
SAVOURY CHOCOLATE
I am catering a chocolate-themed party and am looking for hors d'oeuvre using chocolate or any dish that can be small-sized to be finger food.
I have great faith - you all are the very best resources that I know.
Mussels
Just read the small print on the menus and I would suggest avoiding the restaurants with Waiters or the Proprietor standing outside trying to entice you.
The leather is lovely. I am still wish I had brought home a "man purse" for my son. He is very glad I didn't.
Mussels
Some day- last year was Italy and Croatia - the food was good but nothing was particularly memorable except for the small piece of fish in Venice which cost $85.00. Memorable for the price that is. (Should have read the fine print on the menu that the 15e was for unit of weight).
Oh well, that is the sort of thing that makes a bit of a story.
Mussels
That sounds right - there was no recipe - just a comment in passing about different ways mussels are prepared in different countries.
I am going to make a point of finding Passendale Cheese - I have never tried it. And the Netherlands Beemster Cheese might be good too.
Mussels
I just read in Anne Willan's cookbook, "best recipes for absolutely everything" (no caps in the title), that there is a Belgian way of preparing large mussels which are loaded with tomatoes, onions and cheese.
Any research I have done only mentions blue cheese in mussel recipes but I am thinking there may be other chheses that would work.
Can anyone provide a bit more information?
CAKE-MAKING EQUIPMENT
Thanks so much - that was very helpful and the site is one that I will use.
