Quick question- I've scoured the net and the cookbooks I do have to no avail. I'm looking for a pre-Princess dining Akershus recipe: the Jarlsberg mac and cheese w/ ham. I've made an approximation that's goood, but have never quite replicated the flavor.

Throwing my daughter a Frozen birthday party this weekened w/ a semi-traditional smorgasbord and I thought this would be somewhat fitting to include.
Did some poking around and did not find the recipe, I'm off tomorrow and I'll look some more

Fyi, I ended up using the "Gratin de Macaroni" recipe from Chefs du Fran but substituted the Jarlsberg for Gruyerre and added some ham and sauteed onion. Came out exactly how I remembered it at Akershus. Thanks for checking.

Great idea! I didn't find the recipe you wanted and didn't get back to tell you because I had to take my DD back to school...sorry.

Anyone have the recipe for the Tuna Steak and Noodles they used to serve at the 50's Primetime Cafe in Disney Hollywood Studios?

Disappointed it is no-longer on their menu!!! It was SO GOOD!

Now that the menus have been released for the upcoming Epcot Flower & Garden festival, I am so sad to learn that my favorite item from 2014 will not be returning! I've looked around online to see if I could find a recipe posted for it but I haven't had any luck. So I thought I would check here :)

Anyone have anything for the "Potato, Chive and Cheddar Cheese Biscuit with Smoked Salmon Tartare and Sour Cream" from the Buttercup Cottage booth at 2013/2014 Flower & Garden Festival?

Thank you for any thoughts!

Does anyone have the recipe for the Gjetost Cheesecake at the Kringla Bakeri in Norway? We had some today and would really love to make it for one our best friends for her birthday. She loves the Gjetost Cheese.

Thanks,

Kevin and Mona

Not Disney's, but this should get you pretty close.

http://www.nordicnibbler.com/2011/09/norwegian-baked-cheesecake-with-brunost.html

Note, brunost is Gjetost...and it's used for the topping.
Also, replace the pecans with sliced almonds.
I also believe they sprinkled the top with some shredded gjetost in the last 10 or 15 minutes of cooking or so, to create that "carmelized" crust look on top that is between the top of the cheesecake and below the nuts/caramel sauce layer (the recipe I linked did not do this).

I'd be happy to give the recipe a whirl this weekend if you want a guinea pig to try it out first. <grin>

I am looking for the recipe for Orechiette pasta with smoked salmon- it is from Palo on the Disney Dream (brunch). Internet searches are turning up empty. Anyone have it?

If you want to give this recipe a test run, have at it!!! We will all appreciate your bravery and sacrifice

I'll turn out...something. Won't say it will be good, but it will be something! <grin>

I'll post results here.

Well looks like it is up to you. I requested the recipe and was denied :-( Here was the response.

We want to thank you for your patience while we were attempting to obtain the recipe for the Gjetost Cheesecake that you enjoyed at the during your visit.

Unfortunately, the Chefs are unable to give us this recipe for home use. We are sorry this is not the favorable response you were anticipating; we appreciate your understanding.

I'm not a chef, but I'm fairly good at approximating Disney recipes (sortof a hobby of mine) I'll give that one a shot. As I said, it's fairly close to what they presented on the plate, and I have had that dish at Kringla, so that helps, but it's been a while.

I am still mulling how they got that cheese "crust" on the top, but I'm fairly certain it's a final melt of the cheese during baking, and they do it in a ramekin, which I have.

I dunno, I'll mull it over the next few days, I won't go ingredient hunting until Fri night, so, I have a bit to think.

If you want to see my previous stuff - http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/a-week-of.883271/page-9#post-6593920

I've done some other things (Jikos and Le Cellier comes to mind) that are NOT posted on that thread, but it gives you an idea)

Have at it! Sounds like the cheesecake is in good hands! It is just for our Gjetost loving best friend's birthday desert so no pressure :)
