Peanut Butter Quinoa Cake
I created this recipe for a whole grains cooking class. It also needed to be gluten free, I figure if I'm going to develop a dessert recipe it should be one that I can enjoy myself.Mock Fried Chicken
Comfort foods make us feel warm, happy, and remind us of people or moments. Unfortunately, most comfort foods are not healthy, so I created a comfort food makeover cooking class at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. We made over fried chicken, mashed potatoes, fries, mac n' cheese, and brownies. All of the comfort food makeover recipes are included in this cookbook.Thyme Carrot "Fries"
I know calling these "fries" are a stretch, but you won't miss your potato fries after trying these... NOTE: You can also use rosemary or your favorite seasoning mix. If using a seasoning mix skip the thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic.Parsnip Mash
I have recently become obsessed with parsnips thanks to a recent assignment in my Nutrition and Disease class at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. This mash recipe has a sophisticated flavor that will please even the most discerning palette.Cashew Chicken
This is one of my favorite dishes. The combination of sweet, nutty, and umami makes this dish addictive. NOTE: Fresh ginger is a MUST, packaged ginger just doesn't have the same flavor.Wild Rice with Mushrooms
The vinegar can be overwhelming to some. Start with less and add more to taste. Herbed balsamic vinegars also work well. This dish pairs well with fish, beef, or poultry.Coconut Ginger Soup
Cream soup is yummy, but high fat. This recipe mocks creamed soup without all the calories and fat without losing any flavor. NOTE: Do not use minute rice. It is not starchy enough and thus does not become creamy.Roasted Parsnip Soup
This soup is sure to become your family's new favorite, it is hearty and filling.Cucumber Melon Salad
This salad seems like an odd combination of ingredients, however it works and has become THE requested salad at potlucks and family gatherings.Thank you for your interest in uwmhub's cookbook and for helping support the BakeSpace community of independent cookbook authors!
Here’s some quick information regarding how our cookbook platform works, along with a few tips for making the most of cookbooks you add to your library.
What is the Cookbook Café Platform?
Cookbook Café is our one-of-a-kind cookbook publisher, marketplace and reader. It empowers everyone to create, market and distribute a cookbook as both a web-based eBook and an iPad app. It also makes it incredibly easy for home cooks to discover and use amazing grassroots cookbooks they won't find anywhere else. Since 2012, we've published thousands of cookbooks authored by home chefs, nonprofit organizations, clubs, brands, etc. Our goal is to democratize cookbook publishing and make it easy to build an online library of amazing grassroots cookbooks.
How do I "download" a cookbook?
You don't need to "download" cookbooks or deal with any files. All of the cookbooks you select (free and paid) using Cookbook Café become available to you automatically on any device (computer, tablet or smartphone) whenever you’re logged-in to your free BakeSpace account.When you see a cookbook you like, simply click the green "Get it Now" button. If you're not logged in to BakeSpace, you'll be asked to login (or join) so the cookbook can be added to your cookbook library. Once in your library, you can access the cookbook anytime, anywhere via BakeSpace.com, as well as our Cookbook Café iPad app.
While you're checking out cookbooks, also take some time to visit other parts of the delicious BakeSpace.com community where you can swap recipes and connect with others who share your passion for food and the culinary lifestyle.
Get ready to enjoy a uniquely smart and social cookbook experience!
Once a cookbook is added to your BakeSpace library, our proprietary recipe indexing technology makes it easy for you to find any specific recipe across all of your cookbooks… so there's no need to remember which cookbook contains that perfect recipe. In addition, you can connect directly with each cookbook author, leave comments/reviews and even ask questions about recipe substitutions, history, etc.
