Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, beat eggs and add honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat milk until almost boiling and blend with eggs. Pour mixture into six ramekins or coffee cups. Sprinkle nutmeg and cinnamon on top.
Put the cups into a large, deep casserole dish and fill it to the midway point with hot water. Bake 20-30 minutes until the center of the custards are set. Remove cups from casserole dish and refrigerate for at least two hours.
Cut tops and bottoms off endives, remove cores near bottom, and wash. Bring water with a bit of vinegar to a boil. Boil endives eight minutes or until they're soft enough that you can poke a fork into the bottom. Put butter in pan and let endives drain. Wrap prosciutto around endive and brown on all sides. Wrap cheese around endive, put back in pan and cover, cooking on low heat until the cheese melts.
Combine all but broccoli. Add chopped broccoli, then gently push spears down into sauce. Cover with generous layer of crackers. Drizzle the cube of melted butter over top. Bake at 325-350 until bubbly and set in center, about 20-25 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350. Mix crust ingredients and press into bottom of a 9" springform pan. If making oatmeal or nut crust, bake for 15 minutes; otherwise, don't pre-bake crust. Springform pans can have a nasty tendency to leak; I'd recommend putting an aluminum-foil-covered baking tray on a lower rack.
Mix filling ingredients until smooth and pour into pan. Bake about 50 minutes or until the center is set. Beat together topping ingredients and pour on top. Bake for 10-20 minutes more, and then let sit outside of oven until relatively cool and cover with plate (cling wrap will stick to the top and mess it up) and put in fridge for several hours. Use knife to separate from edge of pan before removing.
Shred cheese. Rub fondue dish with garlic. Heat cheese and lemon juice at low heat, stirring. Add corn starch, nutmeg, pepper, vodka, and wine, and increase heat.
Mix together all but chips and cheese. Put mixture in greased 7"x11" or 9"x13" (if doubled) baking dish and top with chips and cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Serve hot.
Beat all but oats and coconut until smooth. Add those, stir, and bake as 1-inch balls on greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Brown bacon in pressure cooker. Pour off drippings. Add potatoes and other ingredients to pressure cooker and mix well. Bring to a slow rock and cook for 5 minutes.
Mix.

Boil the potatoes in their skins until soft, then skin them. Put potatoes through a ricer. Spread on a towel for a few minutes to remove moisture, then put them in a bowl, add salt, eggs, flour, 2/3 c bread crumbs, and nutmeg, and mix. Form mixture into dry balls (if it seems too moist, add more bread crumbs). Drop the balls into boiling, salted water. When they come to the surface, allow them to boil for 3 more minutes. Remove one and cut it open; if the center is dry, they are sufficiently cooked.
Remove from water and cover with a dressing made as follows: brown butter in skillet, add 1/2 c bread crumbs and onion, and cook for several minutes.

Put the cabbage into a large bowl and rub the salt into it. Let it sit for an hour or two to draw out the water. Put all ingredients (including water) into a large, ideally wide-mouthed glass jar and squish them down.
Find a glass that just barely fits into the neck of the jar, fill it with water, and use it to press the cabbage down and minimize the exposed surface of water. Add additional salty water to the jar as needed to bring the water level close to the brim. The goal is to keep the cabbage underwater; any bits that poke above the water level are likely to get moldy.
Put the uncovered jar in a bowl or small casserole dish (to catch drips) and place the whole thing in a covered box. Let it ferment for a week or so, squishing it down daily to force out gases and to ensure that the cabbage spends most of its time below the water level. When ready, cover and transfer to refrigerator to slow fermentation.
In a small bowl mix together the 1/4 cup oil, lemon juice, oregano, and some salt and pepper. Pour over the chicken and marinate several hours, or overnight. Dry the chicken well on paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reserve the marinade.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the pressure cooker and brown on all sides as many chicken pieces as will comfortably fit at one time in the Cooker. Reserve on a warm platter. Pour off the fat and add to the pressure cooker the reserved marinade and the chicken stock. Close the lid and bring to pressure. Cook for the suggested time (5-8 minutes). Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over it.
Mix sugar and corn starch in saucepan. Gradually stir in water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil one minute. Slowly stir at least half the hot mixture into egg yolks. Then blend into hot mixture in saucepan. Boil one minute longer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Continue stirring until smooth. Blend in butter, lemon juice and rind. Pour into baked pie shell. Cover with meringue and bake. Serve as soon as cool.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually beat in sugar, a little at a time. Continue beating until stiff and glossy. Do not underbeat. Beat until sugar is dissolved. Beat in flavoring. Pile meringue onto hot pie filling, being careful to seal the meringue onto edge of crust to prevent shrinking or weeping. Swirl or pull up points for decorative top. Bake 8 to 10 min., or until delicately browned. Cool away from drafts.

Soak rasins in water to prevent burning. Sift together siftable ingredients. Beat together beatable ingredients. Then mix and add raisins.
Heat oil (at least 3" deep) in a large pan to 325 degrees, using a candy thermometer. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls into oil and deep-fry about three minutes, turning halfway through if they don't turn themselves. Take out with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Roll in white sugar.
Beat eggs with mix, add juice from oranges. Stir in oil by hand, fold in oranges, chopped. Pour into pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes (or check box for directions for cupcakes). Cool.
Mix together topping, pineapples, and pudding and frost. Refrigerate.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter 8" square Pyrex dish. Arrange pear slices, overlapping slightly, on the bottom of the dish.
In a blender, process the melted butter, sugar, flour, vanilla, eggs, milk, and salt until smooth. It's easier if you put the liquid ingredients in first.
Pour the batter over the pears and bake until golden and firm to the touch, 40-45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all but cake mix, butter, and chopped nuts together and pour into greased 9"x13" pan or dish. Sprinkle cake mix over the top, then slice butter over dry cake, and then sprinkle nuts on top. Bake for 50 minutes. (Less butter will work, but the cake mix will be powdery in places if it's poorly covered — 2/3 c. is too little.)
(recipe is from my grandmother)
Generously spread one side of each filet with mustard and tomato paste. Place a slice of bacon, onion, carrot, and pickles on the filet and form it into a roll, tucking the ends in. Tie it up like a present with string to hold it together.
Melt butter into a Teflon pan over medium heat. Sautee the rolls on all sides until dark brown. Then pour in water or red wine and simmer for about an hour.
Separate some jus, add sour cream, and reduce on medium heat. Serve with mashed potatoes.
(note that it takes several days)
Wash meat, trim fat, rub with salt and pepper, and put into tall jar. Mix wine and vinegar, 2 chopped onions, chopped carrot, 1/4 celery root, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns, and cloves and bring to a boil, cooking for 5 minutes. Let cool and pour over meat. Let meat marinate in refrigerator for 2-3 days, turning it once daily.
Dry marinated meat with a paper towel and run marinade through a sieve. Cut bacon into cubes and brown in oil in a Dutch oven. Brown meat on all sides and set aside. Brown sliced onion and celery root in same pan, dust with flour, and mix with half the marinade. Add meat to pan, cover, and roast slowly (about 2 hours at 350 F), adding marinade from time to time.
Cut meat in 1/2" slices and put on warm plate. Run sauce through colander, thin with some marinade, bring to short boil and add salt and pepper. Add 2-3 tsp of gravy to meat and serve the rest separately.
Serve roast with potatoes, dumplings, noodles, or spaetzle and Brussels sprouts.
Chop the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic and soften in olive oil on medium heat. Add the beef broth, tomatoes, sauerkraut, bay leaf, and some ground pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer for one hour, then let cool for fifteen minutes and serve topped with sour cream.
