2007 Food & Wine Festival Recipes

[TheSorcererofFantasia]

Those of you who truly know me know I LOVE food. It goes without saying I collect cookbooks and read them as if they are regular novels. This past trip managed to find two fantastic African cookbooks, Disney's newest cookbook, a signed Walter Staib book (from The Cook, The Book and The Bottle) and of course I found the 2007 Food & Wine Festival Cookbook!! This book contains all the recipes for each of the tastings available at the various Kiosk's around the World Showcase.

If you happened to try any samples and would love to make it at home let me know as I now have the recipes.

I'm leaving on Sunday for a week at the world, I will let you know when I get back.

I'm dying to try Boxty!!!

Does it have the recipie for the Red Cocktail in France? I tried to ask them but the language barrier and the fact I had some wine before may have diminished my recolection. Also the Monfongo in Dom Republic was a good one to try again. Thanks for your help.

Hey Cher, I bought some of the Moroccan Tagine spice the I forgot to get Nirmala's cookbook. Are there any recipes using that spice? I'll trade you some pictures of Ian singing "Uptown Girl" for them.

I'd love the recipe for the Canadian cheese soup if it is in there.

[azdisneymom]

Here is a link for the soup. http://www.intercot.com/infocentral/...es/default.asp I will be trying it for the first time. Hope it is as yummy as everyone says. I know this isn't the cookbook but who can wait to try new recipes!

That's very kind of you to offer. I won't overwhelm you but 2 of my favorites were the Grilled Lamb Chop from Australia and the Durban Spiced Chicken from South Africa . Even if I just get the ingredients/spices they used in each, that would be helpful. Thank you so much.

Do they only offer the cookbook during the food and wine festival? Or better yet, do you think I can find the cookbook when I go in Dec.?

[offwego]

Any chance it has the bobotie from south africa in it? Or the India's booth receipes? I would love those!

[jedigrrrl]

Were they selling it at the Festival center?!?!? We didn't really go in there. I WANT IT!!!! Where did you get it?!?

If I can't get it then I might bother you to send me a few recipes. I ate some really yummy stuff this trip.
thanks!

Hi Jym, I don't recall specifically seeing tangine spice in the Food & Wine Festival Cookbook. Did purchase two fabulous South African cookbooks and sure I will find something in those. Hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to look for you. BTW just send the pics

Doubtful it will still be available in Dec. You could try calling Disney Merchandise and see if they will send you one?

I purchased mine in Food & Wine Festival Center for $13.50.

Zuppa Inglese
Rum-Soaked Cake with Vanilla Cream, Candied-Fruit and Meringue
Serves 6
Beverage Selection: Braida Moscato de Asti

For Vanilla Cream
6 egg yolks
¾ cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1-inch piece of vanilla bean
1 lemon, zested

For Simple Syrup
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons rum
2 tablespoons triple sec liqueur

For Meringue
6 egg whites
pinch salt
½ cup superfine sugar

1 9-inch sponge cake, store bought or homemade
½ cup assorted diced candied fruit
3 candied-cherries, halved

1 For vanilla cream, beat egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until pale and creamy. Add flour and blend well. Scald the milk in a medium-sized pan with the vanilla bean and lemon zest. Gradually add the strained milk to the egg mixture and place all the ingredients back to the pan. Stir constantly over low heat until the sauce nearly reaches the boiling point. Continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, but do not let it boil. Strain and leave to cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a crust from forming. (I use plastic wrap placed right on top of cream)
2 For simple syrup, place water and sugar in a small pan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Boil the syrup for 5 minutes or until slightly reduced. Add rum and triple sec. Set aside.
3 Cut the sponge into three layers. Set one layer on the bottom of a 9-inch spring form pan lined with plastic wrap and liberally brush with simple syrup.
4 Sprinkle ¼ cup candied fruit and cover with ½ of vanilla cream
5 Repeat with another layer of cake, syrup and remaining fruit and cream
6 Add the remaining sponge, brush with syrup and refrigerate until well chilled
7 Just before serving, make the meringue. Place egg whites and pinch of salt in a bowl set over a water bath and whisk until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until the peaks are stiff and shiny.

Durban Spiced Chicken on Sugarcane
Makes 4
Beverage Selection: Goat Door Chardonnay

2 pounds boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon cloves
½ teaspoon cloves
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 sugarcane skewers or bamboo skewers or metal skewers

1 Trim the chicken and cut into large chunks, about 1 ½” large. Transfer the pieces to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
2 In a small bowl, combine all the spices and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the oil to make a paste.
3 Rub the spice paste all over the chicken and leave the meat to marinate for 1 hour.
4 Meanwhile, stand the wooden portion of the sugarcane sticks in a small pitcher and add just enough water to cover the wooden section. Leave to soak while the chicken is marinating. If using bamboo skewers totally soak.
5 Preheat the broiler.
6 Remove the sugarcane sticks from water and divide the chicken on each one, covering only the wooden section.
7 Broil the chicken for 20-25 minutes, turning occationally, or until the chicken is golden.

The skewers are traditionally served with warm squares of cornbread and if you like, a honey mustard sauce.

Personally, I have served this with polenta, Boma’s Mealie bread and Boma Mustard and it was Delish! Have those recipes in my secret stash if you need them.

Hi all I finally found a spare few minutes and typed up and posted some of the requested recipes. Keep your request coming and I will work on typing them up as soon as I can. ;-) Working on the three for India as requested.

For those that are interested I have also included the beverage that was paired with each food item (if it had one).
