American Beef Stew

Best stew ever! Worth all the work.

This is good biscotti. Not rock hard, not too sweet. A nice crunch from the cornmeal and the cherries are great. It's a very sticky dough and for me, should be made into 2" logs for baking. It spreads enough that the resulting biscotti is a good size.

Cuban Picadillo

Very close to the picadillo my Cuban friends taught me to make when I was in college. It took me a while to figure out what was missing. The potato cubes were fried till they were crispy and crunchy. They were not mixed in to the picadillo but rather layered--rice, beans, picadillo, potato cubes. It seems to me there was an additional sweet element--peas maybe. And it was spicier. But this is pretty close and pretty darn good.

This cake is a knockout! Five out of five tasters LOVED it and were amazed that it was gluten free. I went with the lemon syrup glaze on top and really was impressed. The texture of the cake is perfect. I found it best to put all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk them well (in lieu of sifting) and to put all the wet in another and whisk that well and then combine the two. I also found it best to bake about 35 minutes--the cake begins to get a delicate brown around the edges.
I'm looking to forward to trying this with orange in stead of lemon and perhaps lime with some chopped mango in the batter.

For a simple yeast bread, made with all purpose flour and no starters or preferments, the results here are fabulous. The instructions are impeccable. I followed precisely, using instant yeast and my stand mixer, and the result was two gorgeous boules with a great crust and some real flavor. My only departure from the instructions was that I baked both loaves at the same time.
