Hi Elaine,
Happy to oblige. The three panna cotta recipes I have are below, plus
there's another very good one at:
Epicurious
Phaed
Panna Cotta
7 cups milk, divided
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 vanilla beans, split lengthwise, or 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
4 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 cup sugar
Raspberry or Apricot Sauce, see below
Mint leaves, for garnish
In saucepan, combine 6 cups milk, whipping cream, vanilla beans
(if using) and lemon zest. (If using vanilla extract, do not add now.)
Set pan over medium-high heat, cover and bring just to boil. Remove from
heat. Let steep, covered, about 1 hour.
Sprinkle gelatin over remaining cup milk; let sit until dissolved.
Return milk and cream mixture to simmer. Remove from heat and
whisk in dissolved gelatin and sugar until smooth. Strain mixture
into pitcher or bowl with lip. If using vanilla extract, add now, or
scrape vanilla seeds out of bean and stir into cream. Pour into 12
ramekins or other small molds. Chill until set, at least 2 hours.
To serve, spread a couple of tablespoons of sauce on a plate. Dip
the molds into hot water to loosen custard. Unmold each in the
puddle of sauce. Drizzle with additional sauce. Garnish with mint
leaves.
Raspberry Sauce
1 pint fresh raspberries
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or to taste
Reserve a few of the prettiest berries for garnish. Puree remaining
raspberries and sugar in blender or food processor until smooth.
Press through a sieve to extract the seeds. Refrigerate until
needed.
Apricot Sauce
1 cup dried apricots
3 cups water
1 tablespoon sugar
Place apricots and water in saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce
heat and simmer 20 to 30 minutes until water is reduced by about
1/3. Puree in blender or food processor. Strain. Stir in sugar.
---------------------------------
Panna Cotta
2 cups heavy cream, minus 2 tablespoons to dissolve gelatin
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons gelatin (1/2 packet)
4-8 tablespoons fruit pureé, sweetened fruit or chocolate sauce
Heat cream with sugar, simmering for 15 minutes. Sprinkle gelatin over 2
tablespoons of cream. Remove simmered cream from heat and add gelatin
mixture, stirring to dissolve. Pour 1/2 cup of this new mixture into four
lightly-oiled metal molds and refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Dip mold in hot
water and run a knife around the edge; unmold panna cotta onto individual
serving dishes. Serve each with 1-2 tablespoons sauce, either fruit puree,
sweetened fruit or chocolate sauce.
-----------------------------------------------
Panna Cotta
Panna cotta, a molded chilled dessert popular throughout Italy, is easy
to make and can be prepared in advance. It looks and tastes wonderful
with ripe red fruits such as raspberries, strawberries, or sweet cherries.
1 envelope unflavored gelatin (about 1 tablespoon)
2 tablespoons cold water
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup half and half
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
In a very small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand about 1
minute to soften. Heat gelatin mixture over low heat until gelatin is
dissolved and remove pan from heat.
In a large saucepan bring cream, half and half, and sugar just to a boil
over moderately high heat, stirring. Remove pan from heat and stir in
gelatin mixture and vanilla. Divide cream mixture among eight 1/2-cup
ramekins and cool to room temperature. Chill ramekins, covered, at least 4
hours or overnight.
Dip ramekins, 1 at a time, into a bowl of hot water 3 seconds. Run a thin
knife around edge of each ramekin and invert ramekin onto center of a small
plate.

Hi Vicky,
No luck finding the chicken kebabs. Sorry.
I could not find the exact potato lasagna recipe from the Aureole. However,I did find one that seems similar.
It's below. Perhaps you can substitute chanterelles for either the shiitake or portobellos or both...

Hi Phaedrus:
Trying to locate the pumpkin cheese cake recipe from the Junior
League of Pasadena cook book. Can you help? Thank you.
Helen
Hi Helen,
I think I have it. See below.
Phaed
This recipe is from The Junior League Centennial Cookbook (a cookbook
worth buying!). It is a wonderful pumpkin cheesecake and is best when
prepared two days in advance of serving. Garnish with glacéed pecans.
Prize-Winning Pumpkin Cheesecake
a.. 3 cups finely ground gingersnaps (about 50 cookies)
b.. 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
c.. 12 tablespoons (1-1/2 sticks) butter, melted
d.. 2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
e.. 5 eggs
f.. 3/4 cup light brown sugar
g.. 1 (16-oz.) can solid-pack pumpkin
h.. 1-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
i.. 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
j.. 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
k.. 1/4 teaspoon ground mace
l.. 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
m.. 1/2 cup brandy
n.. 2 cups sour cream
o.. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Combine the gingersnap crumbs, confectioners'
sugar, and melted butter in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Press the crumb
mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch
springform pan.
2. Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add the
eggs, one at a time, the brown sugar, pumpkin, spices, vanilla, and 1/4
cup of the brandy to the cream cheese and mix until smooth. Pour the
pumpkin mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes or until
the edge of the cheesecake begins to pull away from side of pan.
3. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and reset the temperature to
400 degrees. Whisk together the sour cream, sugar, remaining 1/4 cup of
brandy in a small bowl. Spread the sour cream mixture over the hot
cheesecake, return to the oven, and bake for 10 minutes more. Cool to
room temperature, cover, and refrigerate in the pan overnight or up to
4 days. Remove the sides of the pan before serving. Serves 12.

old fashion pudding cake made on Martha Stewart show on 10 26 01
Hi Reba,
Well, I don't watch Martha's show regularly, so I have no idea what kind of pudding cake she might have made.
The only pudding cake recipe on her website is a pumpkin pudding cake recipe. It's at:
MarthaStewart.com
I did have a couple of pudding cake recipes in my files. They're below.

Chocolate Sauce:

Preparation :
For cake, stir all ingredients together well. Pour into greased
and floured 9"x16" pan. Bake at 350 degrees until edges leave side

double ingredients.) For sauce, cook all ingredients together until
thick. Serve sauce warm, drizzle over individual cake pudding
squares. Excellent served with ice cream.
