Christmas was the perfect day for making eggnog cheesecake, and this recipe was excellent. I liked it because instead of just calling for a cup or so of eggnog, it was actually made with ingredients you’d find in eggnog such as egg yolks, rum, vanilla and fresh nutmeg. After making this, I’d be reluctant to try a different version, though I’d love to play around with the crust. For this recipe, which was adapted from Kraft’s eggnog cheesecake recipe, I used a crust of Oreos and melted butter. It was delicious and I liked the eggnog/chocolate combo so much I might try it with a brownie crust. I’ll let you know how that goes, but for now here’s a great recipe for Oreo-Crusted Eggnog Cheesecake. See less

What I like now is freshly beaten whipped cream, extra-rich chocolate, and of course, amaretto. Adding a shot of liquor to this decadent treat pushes the experience over the top.

Inspired by the classic Mexican dish pozole, this chili combines dried chipotles and anchos for a deep, earthy tomato-based sauce complemented by the sweetness of pumpkin. The smokiness of the chipotles is increased here by adding ground chorizo sausages; browned at the beginning of the cooking process, they meld invisibly into the sauce, adding a bit of density and lots of flavor.When it was my turn to introduce this chili at the Manhattan Chili Takedown, I called it, “Chicken & Hominy Harmony.” Judging from the blank stares from the audience, I got the feeling that people thought I was saying the word “harmony” twice with a Boston accent the first time for no reason. So here it is: Hominy. It’s a thing. See less

* To make a basic ramen cabbage salad, shred a cup of Napa cabbage and a cup each of red cabbage and carrot. Add cup dry roasted peanuts and toss with boiled noodles and a dressing of 1 tablespoon each vinegar and sesame oil, a splash of lime juice, and a teaspoon sugar. * For a chicken ramen cabbage salad, follow the directions for recipe 1 above and stir in 1 cups diced cooked chicken and cup each chopped bell pepper and snap peas. * For a spicier ramen cabbage salad, add 1 cup shredded cabbage and some chopped scallions to the boiled noodles. Make a dressing of 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, teaspoon chili sauce (or to taste), and a pinch of sugar and salt. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds. * Greek salad with ramen is another great bet. Over boiled noodles, place 1 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1 cup feta cheese crumbled, and cup each chopped onions, tomatoes, green olives, and black olives. Mix cup canola oil and cup lemon juice to pour over the salad. * Make an... See less

It's summer and all I want to do these days is relax with a fizzy beverage, but I can't stand too-sweet soft drinks! In this CRAFT Video, I show you how easy it is to make your own soda at home, and it's inexpensive, too! I use brewer's yeast to produce carbon dioxide, and whatever flavors come to the imagination. In the video I used honey, green tea, strawberries, and grated ginger, but you can use any combination of fruits, juices, fresh herbs, and sweeteners that you like. Thanks to Matt Mets for the tea recipe inspiration. Subscribe to CRAFT in iTunes or download the m4v video. Ingredients and supplies: * 2L or other plastic bottle with cap * Funnel * Cheesecloth (optional) * Food thermometer * Brewer's yeast Get online or from your local homebrew store; tell them you're making soda and they'll get you the right kind. Don't use bread yeast! * Sweetener (for the yeast to eat, you can use honey, cane sugar, etc.) * Water, tea, or juice * Other flavors of your choice Sanitation isn't... See less

Asian soft drinks market is simply nuts InventorSpot listed some weirdest Japanese soft drinks, among which you can enthusiastically find Mother's Milk: You can drink it from this jug, perhaps: and salad-flavored water: Food that we will hesitate (or flatly refuse) to eat Check out this Ukranian Chocolate Pork Fat, described in this article. No picture here, cause it looks as unappetizing as it sounds. Wasp Cookies are getting to be popular in Japan, believe it or not. Read more about this culinary curiosity here.
