Dulcie's Kitchen - A Shared Recipe Book
Welcome to Dulcie's Kitchen, pixies! As much as all the Mods love to see you flit in and out of the kitchen to bake them scrumptious (and unusual) cookie treats, they're also big fans of culinary delights in general. Dulcie would be eager to let you borrow her kitchen to try out all sorts of recipes and share them with the pixie community! Would you like to join in? Whether you're a baking-talent, have hungry mouths to feed at home, or simply like the idea of cooking something new, then this is the place for you! ~~~ Tiramisu and I have arranged a Dashboard in the kitchen for you all, so you can start filling it in as soon as you are ready. It includes a categorised list of recipes that you can browse, with links that direct you to the posted recipe. We hope you will find it useful! (Note: These links may not always work correctly, but I'll be working on fixing that soon!) Breakfast | Main Meals | Soups | Salads Snacks | Drinks | Desserts
Our Baking-Talents: As a way of saying thank you to all the participants, we're giving out points (and rewards!) to all our baking-talents! As soon as you enter the kitchen, you'll start earning points for every little bit of help that you give. Here's a quick outline of what you can do to help, and what you can expect to receive: Share a recipe = 5 points Share a fairy-themed recipe = +2 points (the + means it's added to the original 5 points) Share a recipe that you created yourself = +2 points Cook one of the recipes and write a review (just 1-2 sentences) = 3 points Fulfill a request for a recipe = +2 points Request a particular recipe = 1 point Provide feedback on something = 1 point We have lots of little gold stars and gifts planned for you, but you will have to wait and see what they will be! Feel free to also write a little bit about yourself and we'll add the information under your name. For example, you can write about what type of meals you would prefer to cook, or any likes or dislikes. Keep it short and sweet! All of our baking-talents are listed below:
You are welcome to write your recipes in whatever format you like, but follow this template and you will never go wrong! Quote:
Please enjoy filling-in this Recipe Book. I can't wait to begin trying out the new recipes, as well as share some of my own favorites!

Ooh, what a wonderful idea, Alexia and Tiramisu! I don't know too many recipes, but I'll share which ones I've tried here!
Little bit of info on me: Just beginning to get into cooking Loves quick, easy, and delicious recipes! Here's an easy one I like to make for lunch sometimes: grilled cheese! Classic Grilled Cheese Type of Meal: Main Meals Time to Prepare: Around 10 minutes Serves 1 A recipe for classic, crispy grilled cheese. Ingredients: 4 slices of bread 4 pre-sliced pieces of cheese (or, if you'd like to slice your own cheese, use however many slices it takes to cover a slice of bread with a bit of overlap in the middle.) Butter Tomato soup (optional) Cookware Needed: 1 pan, small-medium in size (depends on how many sandwiches you want to make at once) A spatula (the pancake-flipping kind, not the batter-mixing kind) Instructions:
One other cool thing you can do to spice things up is to put other ingredients in with the cheese, like tomato slices, or spinach leaves. Make it your own!

Welcome aboard, Eve! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us, I will definitely try it out some time. We usually make something similar, except we place it in the microwave. I'd like to try your version as it looks like it has crispier bread. Oh, and I also like adding spinach leaves wherever possible, what a great choice for extra toppings.
==== Here's another super quick and easy recipe for everyone to try: Apple & Carrot Salad Type of Meal: Salad Time to Prepare: 5 minutes Serves 1-2 Hungry for a snack but would like a healthier option? This simple fruit and vege mix will give you that much needed boost of vitamins, especially during the winter months. Ingredients: 1 apple 1 carrot A dash of sugar (Yep, that's all! For more servings, just add some more apples and carrots with a 1:1 ratio) Instructions: (Try to be as detailed as you can)
All done, ready to munch on during your breaks between daily tasks! Extra: Feel free to spice up the salad with a small dash of cinnamon and/or some dried cranberries. What's more, this salad also makes for a great filling for pastry:

I'm keen to bake something again this week, would anyone be interested in sharing a recipe? I still have a lot of frozen blueberries left over!
You are welcome to simply post a link to a recipe that you found online. I'll be sure to post another of my favorite recipes some time this week!

Rather bake treats than cook, like cookies and cakes.
Not a big meat eater, but would love tips on how to properly cook meat so it's safe to eat. Cocoa Scones Snack: Time to Prepare: Maybe 10 minutes? Serves 2 - 4 (or one if your greedy :P ) This was a recipe featured in a manga called "Kitchen Princess", so it's a Japanese-adapted to suit their tastes; but I, an American, adapted it to suit myself. So they're really Japanese-American scones Ingredients: Flour - 3/4 cups Sugar - 1 1/2 tablespoons (I probably add too much sugar, the original recipe calls for just 1 tablespoon; but that usually makes them too bitter if you use a lot of cocoa powder.) Butter - 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder - 2 or 3 tablestpoons (depending if you like 'em bitter or not) Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon Heavy Whipping Cream - 3 to 4 tablespoons Vanilla - 1 teaspoon Salt - Just a dash if you want Sorry for the American measurements, I don't trust myself to convert them... Instructions: Add dry ingredients first (flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt if desired), stir well. I melt my butter, even if that is not 'traditional' for traditional scones, and then stir in the vanilla. Add the vanilla-butter to the flour mixture, stir a little, then use your fingers to crumble it all up like little bread crumbs. Now add the heavy whipping cream and stir until dry ingredients are wet. I used to use plain milk, but heavy whipping cream is so much better. 3 tablespoons may not be enough if you use the heavy cream... You can make four really small scones, or two bigger scones. I sometimes like to hand-mold heart shapes out of them instead of just round treats. When I make maple-flavored ones, I press the dough down and use a maple leaf cookie cutter. Put them on a floured pan and bake at 400 Fahrenheit for 12 - 13 minutes in the oven. Extra:
There's another recipe from "Kitchen Princess" that I would like to try, but I have no idea where to get some of the ingredients. I'll try to post the recipe soon.

Yay, so glad to be able to just link!
I collect recipes more than I bake/cook; I always did love Dulcie's. I have not tried this recipe but it sounded intriguing... For those collecting blueberries: https://food52.com/recipes/36588-blu...eanut-streusel

Yay, thank you pixies! I gave both of you extra points for throwing in some blueberries that I've requested.
@Sapphira: I like how you added your own commentary to the recipe, that will definitely help with the baking process. I think I'll try adding some peanuts to the mix as well, should be tasty! As to your comment on cooking meat, I do know that beef and salmon are fine to eat even raw, so they can be cooked according to your taste. For other types of meat, however, it is better to over rather than under-cook. The usual rule of thumb is to make sure that the meat is not pink in the middle (especially when it comes to cooking fish and chicken). If you have any specific concerns or questions, just ask! @Tanglethorn: Wow, I am so curious now about that recipe, will definitely have to try it. I think I'll be extra cautious with the pepper, though, wouldn't want to overdo it. I have a feeling that our Desserts section will be the most popular. We are in Dulcie's Kitchen, after all!

Sapphira, the scones were sooo good! I'm a big fan of dark chocolate, so the cocoa taste was so delectable. I also added a sprinkle of (roasted) peanuts and that was a perfect combo.
My brother was impatiently waiting for them to cool down, hehe. Here's a quick photo of the result (not as pretty as yours, mind you I did try to make them heart-shaped ): DSC_0095.jpg This recipe is a keeper! By the way, if anyone would like to save a recipe, you can click on the link in the Recipe List, right-click the new page and select "Print" then save as a PDF, and ta-da! One printable recipe ready for you to try!
