I am looking for some good vegetarian recipes. Do you have any all veggie dishes?
We do have vegetarian dishes available on our website. To find them, you need to go to the Recipe Finder, and click on "Vegetarian Dishes." It's the last selection under Recipe Classification. I hope this helps and thanks for checking out www.fbnr.com!
I recently made a cheesecake using the name brand cream cheese, and thought to save fat I would use fat-free cream cheese and it was very lumpy. My question is how can I get rid of the lumps? I love cheesecake, but just don't need all the fat that goes with it! Any help would be appreciated.
In many cases, fat-free products don't function as well as their full-fat counterparts, especially when using them in baked goods. So even though most of us don't need or want the fat, in order to get a lump-free or well-baked finished product, it's just not possible when using a fat-free substitute. A happy medium might be to use a low-fat product instead, but it will still not be as good as when using the full-fat version.
I am having trouble finding tart recipes. Can you help? Also, is a springform pan the same as a tart pan? Thank you very much.
A springform pan is different from a tart pan. A tart pan is shallow and has fluted sides, and does not necessarily have a spring mechanism. Some tart pans only are made so that the bottom will come out, but some have a spring that can be unlatched. If you want to find tart recipes, go to www.fbnr.com and type the word "tart" in the Recipe Title field on the Recipe Finder page. I hope this helps!
What is cilantro?
Cilantro, an herb, is the leaves and stems of the coriander plant. Not to be confused with coriander seeds, which have a completely different flavor, cilantro's flavor and odor are quite pungent; it makes a good complement to spicy foods. Cilantro is commonly used in Asian, Mexican and Indian cuisines.
