Has anyone ever seen her show? Have you made any of her recipes?

I watched her Chefography on FoodTv and was just amazed at the life she has led.

I hadn't ever heard of her before and wondered if anyone has a fav. recipe of hers.


thanks!

Have a look on uktvfood.co.uk (I think that's the link) - lots of her recipes are available there. I have one of her recipe books, and use it for her chicken soup recipe. I also use her easy latkes recipe as they're good to make ahead and reheat for parties. She has a "rainy day biscuits (cookies)" recipe which is yummy too, but I have seen easier cookie recipes.

I haven't tried a lot of her recipes, but we do like the apple & blackberry kuchen.
I prefer to cut down on the apple & add raspberries.
the 'Aromatic Lamb Shank Stew' is good, too!
Trying out her creme brulee recipe tonite

Mmm for the Watermelon Daiquiri recipe!
Now we keep frozen watermelon on hand! ;)

Does her chicken soup have a lot of flavor? I tried another chef's recipe for his soup and I must say it was awful. Terribly bland.


The apple and blackberry kuchen sounds wonderful then you mentioned the rasperries. I picked up some blackberries and the raspberries the other day and they are the absolutely best I have ever had in my life! We just moved to this area and the produce is just wonderful.


The watermelon daiquiri sounds great too. We love watermelon.

Thanks! I will check out the recipes.

The chicken soup is a Jewish-style recipe and quite flavoursome - its best if you use a really good (free range) chicken. As its hard to get boiling fowl these days she recommends taking off the breast and thigh meat part-way through cooking so it doesn't dry out, and if there's not enough flavour adding a good glug of liquid chicken stock. her matzo dumplings are excellent!

This is a bit OT, but I use Tyler Florence's recipe for Ultimate Chicken Noodle Soup and I think it has a lot of flavor. Last night I made it, but added lots of extra homemade noodles so that it wasn't 'soup', but just 'chicken and noodles.' YUM!

[MazdaUK]

oooh! Soundls lovely. Could you post it please - DS(7) loves noodles but so far I can only get him to eat them plain buttered, not with anything added. he also won't eat soup so this could be a good start...

She has a recipe for a watermelon, red onion, kalamata olive, and feta cheese salad that I make a lot in the summer. I know it sounds super weird, but the flavors work well together.

Hopefully this link will work for Tyler Florence's chicken noodle soup. (If it doesn't work, I'll post again)

It looks like a long recipe, but it isn't hard. I make it on a weekend afternoon, so I have the time. Here's hoping the link works!
