One of my favorite sweet snacks! Very easy to sub in whatever jam/fruit you are in the mood for. My personal favorite is a rhubarb/strawberry compote! Also try adding in pecans and coconut to the topping - they toast up quite nicely and add a lot of flavor.

White Sauce

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2007

Fantastic base! I caramelized some red onions with garlic to add to the sauce along with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Amazing!

Chocolate Yule Log

Reviewed: Dec. 25, 2007

Fantastic recipe! I gave it four stars because I thought the frosting was a bit "powdery". I ended up adding some cream cheese to mellow it out and some melted dark chocolate to give it more of a chocolate umph! Might be better off using melted chocolate in place of the cocoa. The cake part was great - perfect consistency and rolled with no cracking or major breaking. The mocha cream filling was to die for! Make sure to sift the instant coffee. I added a splash of Kahlua as well.

Persian Cucumber Yogurt (Maast-o Khiar)

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2006

Very tasty and great with bagel chips, naan, pita, or practically any starch. I make mine extra garlicky and need something to buffer the intense taste! To make it a bit thicker, I strain the yogurt for ~6 hours - just line a strainer with mesh fabric or cheesecloth and place over a bowl. Pour the yogurt in, stir after a couple hours and wait some more. You end up with a really thick and creamy greek style yogurt that really compliments the cucumber and garlic flavor.
