That’s right! I am open to requests! Seriously! If you’ve had a hankering for something specific, if there’s a dish you’ve never tried but have always been curious about (whether its a classic, or something totally obscure like Skoudekharis from Djibouti), if you have this idea of ingredients you’d like to see together in a meal and want to see it in action (bring on the challenge!), or if you simply want me to have a good laugh by requesting something totally ridiculous (yes, I’m allowed to make that judgement call!), leave a comment here describing your request.
I keep a running list of requests and who knows, YOUR dish request may be the next one to appear on The Daring Gourmet!
Linda says
Hi! I just found your Doro Wat recipe and will start getting the ingredients to make my own berbere. I searched but couldn’t find your injera recipe to complete the meal. :)
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Linda and welcome! I haven’t yet posted a recipe for the injera yet but you’ll find many recipes for it online. Just be sure to use a recipe that involves allowing the batter to “ferment” for a couple of days or so to get the real thing. You’ll love this doro wat!
Dee McCullough says
I read it again that recipe and I still didn’t see it was apple cider.So I will keep this recipe and put a note inside of
it so I can make it again.We made it with regular vinegar.But will now try ti with apple viegar next.Is that a sweeter vinegar?And now I have another place to look for more recipes now.It’s going to be a long winter inside and that is when I like to try to cook more!
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Dee, “cider vinegar” is apple cider vinegar. Anytime a recipe calls for cider vinegar that’s what they’re asking for. Yes, regular white vinegar is much stronger, apple cider is milder. Winter is the funnest time of year to cook…cold outside with the smell of something baking or a simmering beef stew in the house. I love it! Happy cooking, Dee!
Dee McCullough says
I was really excited to make this BBQ Pulled Chicken or Pork Sandwiches.I don’t know what exactly vinegar to us?I went to 3 stores to ask and everyone and they just guessed.There is apple,white vinegar?Way too many to use.What is the correct vinegar to use?
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Dee! I realized I specified cider vinegar for the bbq sauce but not for the pork. So yes, it’s apple cider vinegar in both instances that vinegar is called for in this recipe. Thanks and happy cooking! -Kimberly
Sona says
Your granola is simply amazing. Do you have a recipe for granola bars too? The ones I have tried so far all fall apart…
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Thank you, Sona, I’m so glad you enjoyed them! I’m don’t currently have any granola bar recipes, but it is on my list! And I will make sure they’re ones that don’t fall apart :)
Sherry Mathis says
Thanks Kimberly ,
I think both salads I will make the salad dressing soon to surprise my husband!
Sherry says
Hi Kimberly I just found your blog so lovely! We lived in Germany for 3 years and love the country food I saw your potato salad recipe looks good but was wondering how to make the rest of a German green salad they were so good and my family loved the yogurt dressing!
The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Sherry and welcome! So happy you found my blog! For the salad, when you say “rest of” the green salad, are you referring to the traditional “Gemischter Salat” (mixed salad) they serve in German restaurants? (Where a there is often a portion of potato salad, leafy greens, carrot salad, white radish salad, etc. all on the same salad plate?) Or are you referring to just a leafy green salad with yogurt dressing? A typical German yogurt dressing (though there are several variations) would be comprised of a cup of yogurt, a teaspoon of honey, a teaspoon of olive oil, 1 bunch of freshly chopped chives or dill, a clove of garlic, a tablespoon of lemon juice and salt and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together and let it chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Lorie says
Hi Kimberly, Growing up my Gramma made a chocolate cake that had coffee in it as one of the ingredients. It was so moist and delicious, and it was topped with peanut butter icing. She would make this cake often for holidays. She also made it in a cupcake version. Unfortunately I don’t have a recipe for it & she never wrote it down before she passed.
I was wondering if you could make a version of this cake. She was from the WW2 era & my dad grew up eating this. I would love to surprise him with some & continue the tradition. If you could whip up something I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, Lorie
The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Lorie, I’ll bet that cake tasted wonderful! I know, it’s such sad thing when an old beloved family recipe is lost because it was never written down. That’s one of the reasons I started this blog – to preserve my recipes for my children and the generations of grandchildren after them. And should the internet ever be eliminated in the future, someone had better print them all out! :) Thanks for your request, Lorie!
Lacey Kelly says
Wow Kimberly, I am so excited to try some of these recipes! How amazing is this site :)
Lacey
The Daring Gourmet says
Hi, Lacey! Awesome, I’m happy that shred of paper towel made it home safely and that you were able to find my site :) So thrilled to have you on board! Best, Kimberly
Tamra Oborn says
No, the Iced raisin cookie is more like a shortbread with raisins mixed in and completely dipped in a white icing. It looks more like an irregular drop cookie, not a round flat one. I found some photos when I googled. The chocolate chip Angel cookie is a very light square shaped tender shortbreadish cookie. Both yummy!
Thanks ♡ Tamra
tamra oborn says
I love trying your recipes. I have a request.. I normally cook everything from scratch and stay away from processed food, but I really miss the Mother’s iced raisin cookies and the chocolate chip Angel cookies that have been discontinued… do you think you could recreate these cookies? I would love to try baking them..
Thanks <3 Tamra
The Daring Gourmet says
Hi, Tamra! Boy do those sound good! I’ve never had either of them so perhaps you can help me out with a few more details. First of all, are they considerably different than Mother’s Iced Oatmeal Cookies (which have raisin paste in them)? Do they look the same visually as the oatmeal ones? If not, can you describe what they looked like? Also, can you describe the Angel cookies a bit more? Did they have oatmeal in them? Any particularly unique features?
It’s always challenging to try and recreate something I’ve never had and so in these cases I simply try to create the recipe based on the description I’m given – and #1 priority, of course, is that it tastes delicious! :)
Teri says
I will definitely try your recipe. I have printed out the recipe and will be shopping for the ingredients this weekend. Many thanks!!!!
The Daring Gourmet says
You’re welcome, Teri, my pleasure!
Hilda says
I am an honorary German by association (my bf is half German) and love the food. My other in law has shared a couple of recipes with me but I wanted your take on Rouladen. Anything with bacon is a treat!! Thank you and thanks for sharing!
The Daring Gourmet says
Hilda, you couldn’t have made a better request – Rouladen is my ultimate favorite German dish! Will definitely be posting my recipe at some point, hopefully soon. Thank you!
Kelly says
Thai chicken panang curry! Spicy, nutty, creamy and full of yummy veggies like mushrooms, snow peas, broccoli, carrot, capsicum and baby corn!
The Daring Gourmet says
Ah yes, that’s a great one, Kelly, and one of my faves! Thanks for the request!
Agnes Wright says
There used to be a boxed cake mix (and icing) for carmel cake. It was discontinued about 10 years ago. It was my favorite cake!!!!! It was double layer with icing. I would be forever grateful if you could tell me how to make one from scratch (icing also). Thank you very much.
The Daring Gourmet says
I don’t think I ever saw that cake, Agnes, but a caramel cake sounds wonderful! Do you remember what brand it was? What kind of icing was it – also caramel?
Teri says
I was recently in Germany and spent all of my time in the Swabia Region. You are correct is saying the that food is wonderful there. Everywhere we visited we were served that fabulous German Potato Salad. No it wasn’t hot and no it did not have bacon in it. Each time we had it it tasted the same – just plain good. I have searched the internet for this salad and nothing I found matches the taste. If you have a recipe for that salad, I would love if you could share it.
The Daring Gourmet says
I love, love, LOVE Schwäbischer Kartoffelsalat! As much as I enjoy the kind with mayonnaise, the Swabian-style potato salad is my favorite and there are definitely some tips and tricks involved to get it “right” – like that kind you enjoy in German restaurants. Teri, I would love nothing more than to oblige your request! :) Stay tuned!
The Daring Gourmet says
REQUEST COMPLETED! Check out my recipe for Restaurant-style Schwäbischer Kartoffelsalat! Thank you for your request, Teri, and enjoy! Hopefully this brings back some wonderful memories from your visit to Southern Germany. Best, Kimberly
