Recipe News: Mini Coconut Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting

"Today I am posting my road test of a recipe for Mini Coconut Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting that I adapted from the cookbook Salty Sweets by Christie Matheson, which I read about on the fine blog The Kitchn.

Recipe News: Make summer super with potluck-perfect recipes

"From block parties to backyard barbecues, summer is when people get together and enjoy the delectable tastes of the season. The classic American potluck is always a favorite gathering, especially when friends, family and neighbors bring out their best dishes for everyone to enjoy.

The perfect recipes for summer parties are ones that are quick and easy - providing maximum flavor for minimum time spent in the kitchen. When it comes to cooking for a crowd, go with something that will reliably get rave reviews, while keeping in mind whom you're cooking for.

Recipe News: Lemonade Chicken

"Dyann Shaver from Madras, Ore., was looking for a recipe she has lost for making a nontraditional type of barbecued chicken that used concentrated lemonade in the sauce. She said she found the recipe in an article about barbecuing in Better Homes and Garden magazine in the 1970s.

Steve Newman from Santa Rosa, Calif., shared his recipe for making barbecued chicken with lemonade concentrate. He said that while concentrated lemonade might seem like a surprising ingredient, this chicken never fails to please. He also said that he sometimes substitutes limeade or orange juice concentrate with equally tasty results.

Recipe News: An adult take on a summer treat: Recipe for tiramisu ice-cream sundae

"This sophisticated sundae from Hannah Miles' "Sundaes and Splits" has serious adult appeal. It takes its inspiration from the classic Italian dessert, tiramisu.
