I haven't yet but plan to.

Thanks Tatania for posting the new recipes. I really appreciate the time you take to type them up and to provide your reviews. I added these recipes to my file.

Much appreciated

I am not sure if there is a recipe for Brachiosaurus Bruschetta posted. By the way, you need 10 posts before you can PM someone here.

I didn't sift the powdered sugar and thought that might be why, but I measured it by weight, not by cup so I dont think that would cause the problem. Any suggestions on how to cut down on the sweetness?
TIA!

I have to say I rarely use the full amount of sugar called for in any recipes. I would try with 3/4 of the amount called for and see if that helps. I usually do 1/2 to 3/4 the sugar in recipes and the cakes still rise as expected.

Sounds like an excellent plan! Please let us know how that turns out!

[CandiceH]

what a thread! some I will definitely try.

The one thing I've wanted the recipe to is the basmati rice
they serve at Sanaa. . . .it's delicious and I ate a lot of it
by itself. . .what are the small black seeds in it? I would love
to replicate it at home. I had it with the durban chicken and the
lamb vindaloo.

[lilouisianagal]

I think I've properly searched for this recipe, if I missed it just let me know!

I'm looking for the recipe from the Pirates IN the Caribbean night on the DCL: Jack Sparrow's Barbecue Marinated Beef Short Ribs - Rubbed beef short rips with tamarind-barbecue sauce and served with onion red bliss mashed potatoes and plantain chip. I've found pictures, but I really really really want to make them!

Yesterday I purchased all the ingredients to make the cinamon rolls, that's my task for tomorrow. I'm looking forward to baking them and of course trying them!

[LunaMini]

Hi All,

Just wanted to share my experience with the WDW Cinamon Rolls. I've spent the day prepping the dough and trying to find somewhere warm for it to 'prove' but having just polished one off with my hot choc for tea is was well worth the wait! Good things come to those who wait as they say!

Here they are just before going in the oven:


and as they came out of the oven, still in the tin:


and some of the spares on a plate:


We opted not to add the frosting through choice, but I'm sure it would have been lovely!

As I had to convert the recipe to grams rather than cups for UK use, I thought I would share it for anyone else who prefers to do things this way.

125ml Warm Water
16g yeast (2 sachets)
2 tablespoons of caster sugar
2 packets of vanilla Angel Delight
500ml Milk
113g unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1024g self raising flour
227g unsalted butter, melted (this was more than enough though!
440g light soft brown sugar
2 tablespoons cinamon

A couple of hints are make sure you grease the tray/tin REALLY WELL as the filling may spill out while cooking and it sticks fast! Remove from the tin virtually straight away to avoid setting.

I hope you all enjoy them as much as me and the parents have!

[BernardandMissBianca]

Luna, those look amazing!!

ETA: BTW, love your Mini!! We have a 66 Austin Mini.

Had an amazing dessert on Dream this week called the Goodnight Kiss. It was a fudge square and a passion fruit jello square. Asked the server for recipe but then forgot the next day to get it from her. Anyone have that recipe? Thanks!

[wb6vpm]

does anyone have the Worcestershire sauce/dressing recipe that was with the Bacon Blue Cheeseburger at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen at Downtown Disney in CA? The wife is looking for it, she misses it so

[Cynth]

Hi
I'm looking for the Lobster Tortelini from Coral Reef recipe.
I had the Lobster Tortelini last time I visited, and I was looking forward to have it again on our next visit, but they changed the menu. Now I would really lie to cook it myself at home, because I really loved it.

Does anyone have the recipe or a similar one?

[Tatania]

greeneyes - I'm on the road a lot these days and don't cook all that much or keep up with things Disney - except for once in while when I go crazy and track down all the new recipes! If there's anything you think looks new and interesting in the F&W Festival cookbook and care to share - I'm not fussy about what it is. I'm going to order the new Disney cookbook today.



Celtic Twilight
Palo in Disney Cruise Line at Disney Cruise Line

1 1/2 oz. Jameson Irish whiskey
3/4 oz. Pernod anise
1 oz. Noilly Prat vermouth
Dash of Angostura bitters

Pour over ice. Stir well. Garnish with a lemon wheel.

LeFou's Brew
Gaston's Tavern, Magic Kingdom
makes 32 ounces

Foam Topping Ingredients:
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
4 tablespoons Mango Nectar/Juice (I found this in my grocery store's Mexican Food aisle)
4 tablespoons Passionfruit Juice (I found this in the refrigerated juice section, by orange juice)
3 tablespoons sugar

Pour whipping cream into mixing bowl. Add mango and passionfruit juices. Add sugar and beat on high until stiff peaks form (this can take a while and it helps if your mixing bowl has been chilled). Set aside in fridge.

Apple Slush Ingredients:
2 (12 ounce) cans of frozen no-sugar added apple juice concentrate (keep frozen until ready to use)
12 ounces cold water (I just filled one of the empty juice cans for this)
3 squirts (or tablespoons) Torani Toasted Marshmallow Syrup

Dump both cans of frozen apple juice into a blender. Add water and 3 squirts of the toasted marshmallow syrup. Blend on high for about 10 seconds. You should now have a slush texture beverage. Immediately** pour into glasses and top with prepared foam topping.
Note: Disney keeps the mix moving in rotating slush machines all day. With that in mind, don't make your Le Fou's Brew until you are actually ready to serve it. It does not keep.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large, deep sauté pan or stockpot over medium heat. Add shallots, cooking until just tender, about 3 minutes.
Add rice, stirring to coat in butter. Cook until rice turns milky white and opaque, and just begins to stick to bottom of pan.
Add wine and brandy, and stir 2 minutes, until liquid is almost absorbed. Crumble saffron into pan, stirring to combine.
Ladle about 1 cup simmering stock into rice. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring often, until stock is almost completely absorbed. Continue adding stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring gently until almost all broth is absorbed before adding next cup. Add stock until rice is creamy and cooked through.

For osso bucco:
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Heat oil in a heavy stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season shanks with salt and pepper; working in batches to avoid crowding pan, add shanks to pan. Sear shanks until golden brown, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add garlic, carrots, celery, and onion to pan, adding additional oil if needed; cook, stirring often, until softened.
Add wine and tomatoes to pan, stirring until wine is reduced by two-thirds. Add shanks back to pan; pour stock to cover shanks by three-quarters.
Cover pan and place in oven. Cook 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until shanks are very tender.
Remove shanks from cooking liquid; strain cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve and set aside.

For red wine sauce:
Heat oil in a large, deep sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots, celery, carrot, and leek. Cook until vegetables begin to brown.
Add wine and cook until almost completely reduced. Add strained cooking liquid and simmer until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Strain sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.

For gremolata:

1. Divide watermelon among plates. Toss arugula with white balsamic vinaigrette in a medium bowl and lightly season with salt & pepper.
2. Top each portion of watermelon with arugula. Top each serving with 2 to 3 picked onion rings, then sprinkle with feta. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Cook’s Note: Balsamic glaze can be found in most supermarkets on the oil and vinegar aisle. To make your own, place 2 cups balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 40 minutes.

This thread is absolutely amazing, thank you to everyone for sharing! I have lots of recipes to make now. If anyone else has additional flower and garden recipes I'd love to see them! We were there last week and had so much good food at those booths!
