Recipe???

[tigsmom]

This is a great thread!
Several years ago, I had the chocolate lava cake at the Flying Fish. It was deep chocolate with a warm liquid center! I had never tasted anything like it!Then when my husband and I returned, they were no longer making it, much to our sadness. Our waitress, who I'm fairly certain was the same waitress we'd had the first time, told us the chef had left and taken the recipe with him. Later that same trip, however, we found a similar cake at the Kona Cafe. It wasn't quite as good as the original, but it was better than other recipes I've been able to track on the web. Someone would be a saint if they could give me the either recipe!

Is this the one?

The first is an appetizer called "Mediterranean Dips" - hitipi, chermoula, and baba ghanoush. If anyone has their recipie for any (or all 3) that would be amazing.

Made the pineapple bread from the Polynesian today. It was absolutely mouth watering. It was gone in a matter of seconds (my friends are food whores) I'll make it again in a few days and take a picture of it.

Canolis are something you just can not find in the UK. I have enquired in many an Italian restaurant and deli, but they have not even heard of them!

 

[magic minnie]

Thanks to all who post on this . . . it's awesome! I copied and pasted a ton of these into a file so I can try them later. Keep it up; it's appreciated!:sohappy:

Really? Thats a shame; as a kid I always helped my aunt make the filling (and stealing the chocolate chips).

Whenever I tell any Americans you can't get canoli over here they are surprised as it's such a common item over there. My sister found something in reverse - every Chinese resaturant and takeaway over here sells Prawn Crackers. She has never seen them in America, so when I visit it's another thing I have to bring over with me.

Joe, I looked these up and I have to tell you they really don't sound all that appetizing. :hurl:

 

[ogryn]

Trust me. Prawn Crackers are good, and I don't even like prawns or prawn flavouring. They cover them in more-ish magic powder!! :lol:

Well, I guess I've eaten worse things before (ever have kidneys?), but if they smell fishy, and that was part of the description, I can't do it.
