The recipe has been tweaked a bit, from the original no-knead recipe. The dough is not as wet as the original, needs some kneading and it replaces some of the water with a mild-flavored lager. It is an easy recipe that produces a great bread.

This recipe uses cottage cheese instead of ricotta. Since I am an Italian-American I was very skeptical of this recipe. I made it for my family and they loved it, no one knew that it was cottage cheese.

This soup is delicious, with a true tomato taste. The soup is thickened with bread instead of cream and that lets the flavors of the tomato shine through.

If you love cresent rolls, you will love these homemade rolls. They are soft, buttery and delicious. They can be made ahead, partially baked, and then frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost, bake ready for next dinner party.

This pie dough is different in technique and that half the water is replaced by vodka. The dough is wetter and easier to roll out.The vodka vaporizes in the oven and using less water makes the dough more tender. Great recipe, I use it for all my pies and tarts.

This chicken is moist and delicious. It is a very easy recipe, brown chicken in a pot and then pop it in the oven. Very good on a cold winter's night.

This pizza is good for an appetizer or a light lunch. The dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. It is a very wet dough that needs to be poured into the pan and spread into the corners with your fingers. It is a plain pizza with a sprinkling of kosher salt and rosemary. Easy to make and delicious.

This is a very good recipe because the short ribs are browned in the oven. The rest of the recipe is standard technique and produces a great short rib.

This chicken recipe has all of the good attributes of fried chicken without the bad. It is crispy, crunchy on the outside and moist and delicious on the inside. The secret to this recipe is that the crust is made with melba toast crumbs. It requires a little bit of work upfront, but it is all worth it once you taste the chicken.

These cookies are delicious.They have a very full chocolate flavor. Two different forms of chocolate are used, cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate. The recipe calls for espresso powder to boost the chocolate flavor even more.
