Do you ever find yourself saying "I'm going to make this some day"? For some

[amanda_pennsylvania]

I second Richard's Austrian recipes.

And add to my list:

Sweets:
Zabaglione
puff pastry (I've never had any luck with pastry)

Savories:
Roast chicken (it's my favorite, but I've never actually made it)
Waterzooi
Steamed mussels

And I've always wanted to make fresh bread every week, but have never gotten around to it.

I'm sure there's more. I've got pneumonia at the moment, so I'm not cooking much of anything.

 

[angak]

sending some cyber chicken soup your way Amanda. take care.

 

[angiebaby]

Gosh, Pat-NoCal. It was a challenge for me to narrow it down!

Where to start?

creme brulee
stuffed cabbage leaves
rugelach
Mounds Cake from the Opryland Hotel
tamales
stuffed, fried quesadillas
beef wellington
petit fours
chicken & REAL dumplings
pot stickers
something with clams... I've never tasted clams.
homemade mac & cheese

This is my short list....tamales, timbale, good carne asada, my mom's german chocolate cake,

my mom's dill pickles
fresh pasta
peking duck
home made bread
home made sausages in casings
richard's compound gin (we love Hendrick's gin)
Michael's Peanut Butter cookies (but I love these too much, so I really can't(
Gayle's caramels
Gayle's fudge
actually, anything Gayle's candy type recipe
popovers
home made corn dogs aka pronto pups
tomato habanero soup
grilled pizza
peanut butter from hell
and last but not least garlic chili chicken
(my favorite Chinese dish from a San Diego Chinese restaurant that I have to figure out how to duplicate)
This is my short list.

wish to perfect the ultimate lemon tart;

different types of creme brulee, and a new "company" cake. Also to try again Gayle's carmels which worked twice and failed several.
Fun Question.

Chocolate truffles with and without tempered chocolate, caramels, madeleines, cinnamon buns,

creme brulee, green chutney (cilantro/mint), eggplant parmigiano...

 

[georgiarose]

I've made feijoada! Our friend from Brazil said it was the best he'd ever eaten.

I'll dig up the recipe for you if you'd like.

 

[georgiarose]

Ooh, this is hard...there are so many things I'd like to try

but don't have the time. I have a large folder of things from here that I'm still trying to work through. I would love to cook my way through the Time/Life Foods of the World series. Other things I would like to try would include buttermilk biscuits like my Grandmother made, artisan breads, the ultimate cinnamon rolls, advanced sugar work techniques and european style pastries.

 

[luisa_calif]

But of course!!!

The timballo from "Big Night"

 

[dawn_mo]

Make that Timpano not timbale. I had tamales on my mind.

 

[marilynfl]

I ceded defeat on this one years ago. But I still hum "Mambo Italiano" when I make sauce.

 

[marilynfl]

G, the pressure was too much for me. I finally donated my entire TL series to the library.

 

[melissa-dallas]

I'm an excellent baker but rolling things out is not my strong point. Once lost

77 pounds on Weight Watchers and kept it off for a long time. Hang in there, but I'd definitely agree with taking that book back to the library for now.

 

[rvb]

i'd love it if you could dig it up.

 

[joanietoo]

Look after yourself Amanda!

 

[pat-nocal]

LOL, I think my list has grown reading everyone else's. Thanks for sharing.

 

[curious1]

Mine are so simple, fresh lasagne sheets, individual Beef Wellingtons using the recipe in

Fine Cooking magazine and the no-knead bread recipe that uses a dutch oven, I'm afraid I'll ruin my dutch oven, lol.

Oh, and pot stickers and spring rolls! I love both, have lots of recipes but, for some reason, have never made them.
