Amrita,

I can't help you with the traditional rice cake recipe, however, I can provide the following for vanilla sugar.

It is fairly expensive to buy. The downfall of making your own, it has to sit for a few weeks before use.

I hope this helps.

1-2 vanilla beans, 1 airtight jar, and regular granulated sugar.

Fill the jar halfway with sugar. Cut the beans into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces and stick them into the sugar. Add sugar to cover the beans. Close the container and place it into a cool dark place.

It will be ready for use after 3 weeks.

This is the last of Paula's recipes for "food & cooking staples" so far. She writes: Sometimes you run out of an item midway through baking. It is fun to be able to make the missing content out of items you have sitting in your cupboards. Baking Powder Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch 2 Tablespoons Cream of Tartar 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda Just whisk together until evenly blended Baking Art Print 12 in. x 6 in.

Paula obviously has a knack in the kitchen. I took this recipe but remember folks it implies you have Cream of Tartar and implies Cornstarch and Baking soda. If I had all this stocked in my kitchen - trust me I would al...

Shrek Cookbook - Book Review

(***Due to layout of this review, if viewed in an RSS reader, certain sections may seem duplicated.) Before we begin, the normal disclaimer. This book review was solicited by the publishers of the Shrek Cookbook and contains my opinion of the book. For kosher readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen - This is not a "kosher" cookbook though the majority of recipes in the Shrek Cookbook can be used as is, or with just a few sane and healthy substitutions, can be kept kosher. (Indeed as far as I could tell every recipe in this book can be kept kosher.) It is not that difficult to find equivalent and healthy kosher substitutes these days, especially in the United States. Book Details: The Shrek Cookbook , published by Dorling Kindersley ( www.dk.com ) is a publicized as a cookbook for children (ages 4-8). It's 30+ recipes come in Ringbound Hard Cover, so the pages can be turned easily while the book lays on a counter top. The font is large, catering to the child and p...

Chicken-Rice Roger

Nancy sent this one in. Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen seems to have lit the fire in her kitchen! She writes: I have an ancient cookbook titled "The I Hate To Cook Book". It looks like the Dead Sea Scrolls: it's a paper-back with brown, crispy pages which are crumbling at the edges and more than quite a few of the recipes have large grease stains on them (shows you how wonderfully often they were referred to). I checked the publishing date and it reads 1960! I know...I'm as old as Methuselah. The recipes in this cookbook are about as easy as you'll ever find, so if you are in the category of "cooking for dummies", this particular recipe will please you no end. This recipe is one that was so popular that I even took it to weekend get-aways with my husband's cousin and her husband. We two women stayed up all night chewing the fat, and when we saw the morning light sliding through the Venetian blinds in the kitchen, we took the partially devou...
