Ragù Bolognese: Italian Bolognese Sauce
From the kitchen of Food Nouveau
Makes 12 servings.
This rich, authentic Bolognese Sauce is based on a registered Italian recipe for Ragù Bolognese. This meat-centric sauce is completely different from the bright red, tomato-based North American version of the sauce: it’s creamy, aromatic, and surprisingly delicate in flavor. Italian Bolognese Sauce produces a simply unforgettable pasta dish!
Quick Dilly Pickles
From the kitchen of Amber
Quick, refrigerator pickles. Good for about 2 days if they last that long.
Ma’s Crock pickles
From the kitchen of Grandma Kroll
Everyone that went to Grandma Kroll’s farm grew up with her delicious dill pickles. She would make a 20 gallon crock on Wed. or Thurs. and by Sun. when everyone went home the crock would be empty; we wouldn’t even give them a chance to really cure!
Onion Dip from Scratch Recipe

Good as vegetable dip.
Hot Pepper Jelly
From the kitchen of Karen & Penny
This is a nice sweet hot jelly that is very good with cream cheese on crackers or anything else you would like to put it on!
Zulu Spaghetti Sauce
The Zulu sauce has a dozen or so ingredients and is pretty hard to find, but very tasty. If you search “Ukuva Zulu Fire Sauce” online, you might find a local vendor. The sauce itself isn’t very hot, but has quite a strong flavor—hence the addition of so much tomato sauce to stabilize it.
Serves a lot. Just look at the ingredients. You’ll be eating it for days.
Sour Cream & Parmesan Sauce
From the kitchen of WineSkinny
Alfredo-style sauce without the calories or cardiac risk. Makes enough for 12 oz. of pasta. Serves at least four as a side dish.

Chicken Marinade
From the kitchen of Gil's Portugese Recipes
A nice marinade for grilling (adds a lot of flavor even if you can’t marinade for long).
Good for late starters ;-)
Country-style Ketchup
From the kitchen of South Beach Diet Forums
Tangy, non-sweet ketchup that’s chunkier and much more flavorful than anything you can get out of a bottle.
Sweet and Sour Sauce
From the kitchen of Diana Rattray
Sweet and sour sauce recipe with pineapple, vinegar, garlic, mustard powder, and ketchup and brown sugar.
Garam Masala
From the kitchen of Julie Sahni
This is the most aromatic and fragrant of all Indian spice blends. Used throughout North India in all types of dishes − from appetizers and soups to yogurt salad and main courses − this blend is indispensable to Moghul and North Indian cooking. It is widely available, but my homemade version is more fragrant and, of course, fresher.
Applesauce
From the kitchen of Kath
This is a relatively easy-to-make recipe for chunky applesauce.
