<><> The "Official" DISNEY RECIPE Exchange! <><> 1850+ recipes!

Hi Disers,

I'm back for a couple weeks before heading out again for a month in Korea and China but wanted to thank ecuagoddess and greeneyes for posting the responses they got from Disney.

I tried to order the 2008 Epcot Food and Wine Festival recipe book today but the person at merchandising didn't have a clue. I'll try on Monday when the festival is actually underway.

I had requested the Carrot Cake recipe from Tusker House but was told that Tusker House purchases a "dry ingredient mixture" and just adds liquid. The mix is made espcially for Tusker House and cannot be purchased commercially. Hope this isn't a trend at Disney that they bring in mixes from outside.

BTW, had pastries and breads in Germany/Austria that were fabulous - often a lot better than what the chefs of WDW come up with - esp. the Chefs at the Biergarten.
 
All Ears Net has updated it's recipe page and though we have most of the recipes (they probably come from here :woohoo: there are a couple new ones.

I found this request elsewhere for the Magic Bars...just concentrating them in one location:

I have had this at POR and WL but I can not find a recipe that seems to be right.

Thanks

I'm not familiar with this, though, so can you give me some additional information? Which restaurant? Is it a snack or dessert? ...maybe some idea of ingredients?

Does anyone have the recipe for the jasmine cashew rice from Coral reef? Wanted to make for dinner tonight - yum! Also, has anyone started converting these recipes into their own personal recipe book? I was going to start cutting and pasting but first wanted to see if anyone else already had. Thanks!
 
Oh Tatania...I love pears and those sound delicious!! I might just have to try those. ;)

mjhd - I'll add your request to our list the next time I update it. But I wondered what kind of "conversion" you were talking about? My "recipe book" is just a folder on my hard drive with sub-folders for each restaurant, as well as by beef, chicken, veggie, etc. I find it easier to search on the hard drive - that way I can find all recipes that use "curry paste" or "strawberries" without looking at all of them.

But then I also have been printing 3x5 cards of the ones I re-use so I can have it in the kitchen. I have clip art on a bunch of them & keep them in plastic sleeves I got from Current. They print out with 4 per sheet of 8.5 X 11 cardstock & I have a large Fiskars rotary trimmer I use to separate them. They're in Word format. If you would be interested in seeing them, PM me with your email address & I'll send some to you.

My recipe book (besides the ones I purchased from Disney) is a Word Doc that now runs to 800 pages. I sort the recipes in categories and alphabetize them but keep the pictures in a separate folder. I print them oout as I need them or use them because 800 pages is too much to print and the file keeps expanding.
 
and I'm hoping someone can direct me to some Honey Vinagritte (?) type dressing that was on the salad at 'Ohana. OMG! It was so good. I ate 3 servings of salad. That recipe would be great to have to keep me on my diet plan. Sorry I didn't get it. But anyone??? :goodvibes

There is a Honey Lime Dressing recipe on page 29 that is from 'Ohana. Maybe that's what you're looking for? If not, please visit our index thread for help in requesting recipes directly from WDW: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=25003776#post25003776 (see post #4)
 
Because it's tomato season, I made the Tomato Salad from the Biergarten and it was exactly like the German tomato salad my Mom makes. I really like it because it's what I'm used to.

I also made the Smokehouse Ranch Dressing today from Cooking with Mickey and the Chefs of Walt Disney World Resort and the liquid smoke adds an interesting twist to the recipe. The dressing is very thick and there's a note on it saying that you can use it as a dip for vegetables, chicken wings, or chips. It's supposed to be used on green or vegetable salads. Since I don't see it in our index I'll post it here.

BTW, is anybody going to the Food and Wine Festival this year and can get a few new recipes? The Mail Order services doesn't want to send out the cookbook anymore and I'm hoping I might find somebody who can buy it and send it my way. However, the cookbook only has recipes from the booths and they tend to repeat each other a lot. What would be interesting, is to get some of the recipes from the demonstrations.

1 tsp Chinese chile paste, or to taste
Salt as needed ---just a touch!

Crush wasabi peas in food processor or chop coarsely with a heavy knife. Make a wasabi paste by combining 1 tsp wasabi powder with 3 tbsp cold water; or use pre-made wasabi paste (available in the sushi department of fine supermarkets).
For tuna, cut into four, 4-ounce portions. Spread wasabi paste on all sides of each portion, and then crust with crushed wasabi peas. Repeat.
Boil Soba noodles until 'al dente' as you would any Italian pasta in salted water. For the beets, wrap in aluminum foil with a splash of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in 450°F oven until fork tender. Cool and dice.
For Soba noodle 'salad', make a quick dressing by combining 'vinaigrette' ingredients listed above, and then toss soba noodles with diced beets, roasted cashews, julienne vegetables and vinaigrette to coat.

For the Asian Pesto, combine all the ingredients in robocoupe. Quickly sear tuna portions in grape seed oil, crust side down for 1 minute. Place in 450°F oven 2 minutes longer; or until rare to just medium rare.
Place salad on plate and lay tuna over. Garnish with chopped scallions and tablespoon of pesto. Optional---serve a little wasabi paste and vinaigrette on the side; a la sushi.
 
Here is another one from 2007 Culinary Demonstrations. This one is really easy & delicious. Looks very impressive too!

Wild King Salmon with Dried Cherries and Smoked Almond Beurre Noisette
Guest Chef Braiden Rex-Johnson Seattle Food Writer and Cookbook Author

This recipe from Pacific Northwest Wining & Dining was created by Kevin Davis, chef/owner of Steelhead Diner in Seattle’s famous Pike Place Market. It showcases two of the Northwest’s iconic ingredients: wild salmon and dried cherries. The browned butter, called beurre noisette in French, adds rich nutty flavor. Enjoy this dish with a lush Oregon Pinot Noir.
Serves 4
Macerated Cherries
·1 cup dried cherries
·1 cup port or Madeira (For a nonalcoholic alternative substitute cherry juice.)

Salmon
·Four 6-ounce center-cut wild salmon fillets, skinned
·2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
·Kosher salt
·Freshly ground black pepper

Buerre Noisette
·1 stick unsalted butter
·1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
·Freshly grated zest of 1 orange
·1 cup lightly crushed smoked almonds

Place cherries in a glass bowl. Bring port to a boil in a saucepan and pour over the cherries. Cover with plastic wrap and steep 30 minutes. Drain cherries, pat dry and set aside.
Heat a stovetop grill pan over medium heat, or prepare a medium-low fire in a gas or charcoal grill. Brush salmon lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin side down (if not using skinned fillets), on the grill. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, turn the fish, and cook 3 to 4 minutes longer for medium rare or longer to desired doneness.
While the fish is grilling, melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter turns brown and gives off a nutty aroma, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to burn the butter.
Remove the skillet from the heat and add rosemary, orange zest, almonds and cherries, stirring after adding each ingredient. Season with salt and pepper. Be careful when adding the first two ingredients, as the butter may sizzle and pop.
Place salmon on four dinner plates, top with the browned butter and serve immediately.

Chef’s Tip: Yukon River King salmon has a very high fat content and will tend to flame up if cooked too fast. It’s always a good idea to have a water bottle handy, just in case. Don’t leave the grill unattended at any time throughout the cooking process. Also, Chef Kevin has an easy way to prevent overcooking your fish. When using a traditional grill, simply turn the grill off when the fish is slightly underdone; this allows the carryover heat to finish cooking the fish.
 
shovan - Oh my gosh - thanks SO much for sharing these recipes. Both sound amazing and makes me wish I could get to the Food and Wine Festival one of these years. it would mean taking an unpaid business leave but it just might be worth it for the experience. I'll give these a try when I'm back from Asia at the end of the month.

I hope you enjoy the recipes! We love both of these. I don't know if you are counting calories, but I am. I've done the beurre noisette with a lot less butter, adding orange juice. Still tastes amazing. Oh, I don't drain the cherries, I add the cherries with the port to beurre noisette. I'm not wasting cherry infused port!;)

Have a good trip!:goodvibes
