Best WDW Recipes You've Made?

[SqueakyMouse]

What are the best WDW recipes you've made at home? I've had good success with Kona's Tonga Toast and Wilderness Lodge's Chicken Salad (sadly no longer served in the restaurant). I'm thinking about trying the pork tenderloin recipe from California Grill.

Sadly...I have not made anything from the WDW cookbook I bought on our DCL cruise earlier this year but I'd love the Chicken Salad recipe from the Wilderness Lodge, if you're willing to share.

From Cape May Buffet:
Broccoli Cranberry Salad

From AKL:
Cured Pork Loin & the Coconut Curry Sauce

Flank Steak Marinade (outrageous!! )
Frunch
Fufu
Potatoes with Afritude

From Contemporary:
Chef Mickey's Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Crisp Rice Sushi

From Epcot:
Kang Bao Chicken
Plantain Fried Catfish (Garden Grill)

From Magic Kingdom:
Cinderella's Au Gratin Potatoes

From MGM:
Citrus Chicken (Hollywood & Vine)
Root Beer Sweet Potatoes (H&V)

From Polynesian:
White Meat Marinade

From Wilderness Lodge:
WL French Toast (like Tonga Toast with blueberries - excellent!)
Strawberry Banana Bread

Bobotie (Boma) and Couscous (Marrakesh) are both yummy!

I love the Tony's sundried tomato pesto dip. Also the sugared nuts from Epcot (Gebrannte Mandeln) but I've been eating those and making those for years, long before I started going to WDW...

Now, if someone could PLEASE find me a white bean hummus like at Boma/the Mara. I asked and received an email from WDW saying that they buy it from an outside vendor, and don't know the recipe... sigh....

 

[MariDisney]

Just today I made the following from 'Ohana
Peanut dipping sauce
Honey Terriaki Chicken wings
Beef with marinade and Pork with Marinade...

My sister made the shrimp, potatoes, bread pudding and I can't even remember what all else...Our family will be together tomorrow celebrating Christmas and having a feast from one of our favorite WDW restaurants. I can tell you everything I made is yummy. We'll see how everyone else likes it tomorrow!

Place chickpeas in robot coupe. Puree. Add tahini, both garlics, and half the lemon juice. Mix. Adjust lemon juice and finish with salt and pepper.

Thanks - that's they one they sent me too instead of the one we wanted!!!

I have tried to find something similar on the internet, as white bean paste is common in Italy, but no luck - the spices just aren't the same.....

I've actually made quite a few recipes from my site. One of the "hits" from the Holiday season has been the "mice" cookies from a Food & Wine Festival I attended. The recipe is found on the special Holiday page I have up. The dough is easy to handle and you can make other shapes too but the mice are so cute.

Many of the Boma recipes are so tasty. I've made the passion fruit tarts and chicken stew several times.

One of the most "unusual" interpretations for a Disney recipe has to be a body fragrance one e-tailer created for me based on the Snow Flakes Cocktail served by DCL. Now I can smell like a Disney recipe too!

Here it is:

French Toast Loaf
Main Street Bake Shop
Magic Kingdom


YIELD: 1 Loaf
Ingredients:

12 slices day-old white bread (preferably a homestyle white, not Wonder Bread
type)
8 oz. butter (chilled and sliced)

Brown sugar batch:
9 oz, light brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together and set aside.


Batter:
10 oz. heavy cream
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together and refrigerate until ready to use.


Method:

Liberally spray a loaf pan with Pam or other vegetable spray. Layer three slices day old bread on bottom of pan. Sprinkle 1/3 brown sugar mixture on top of bread, then layer 1/3 of the butter. Repeat these steps two more times. Top off with three more slices of bread (should have a total of 12 slices of bread). Press down with hand to compact bread into loaf pan.
Slowly pour 16 oz. of batter over top of loaf, covering completely. This may take a little time, to allow it to fully absorb into bread and flow into spaces at bottom. (Take your time here and pour into corners. Lift bread at corners a little to get into bottom quicker if you want.)

Place loaf pan on some paper towel in case of overflow. Cover top of loaf with parchment paper and wrap top tightly with aluminum foil. Place in refrigerator and allow to sit overnight.
Heat oven to 325º F. Bake for approximately 1 hour or until internal temperature in center of loaf is 160 degrees. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Place a plate on top of loaf pan and invert to remove from pan. Cut into 7 slices and serve.
