I have never tried freezing any of the dressings, as I never saw any reason to. The fact that they keep so well in the refrigerator for a couple weeks renders the question moot. Sofrito freezes very well, I discuss it at length in my cookbook.

Which of these sauce recipes might freeze well?: Herb mustard dressing, Chinese green tea dressing, Curried mango dressing, basil honey dressing, Sofrito, and Olive sundried tomato dip.
Thank you!

Blue cheese is strong, but a little goes a really long way. 1/4 cup for 21/2 cups dressing is quite reasonable. This is why I add that little sugar. Blue cheese crumbles easily, so crumble it into a measuring cup.
Enjoy! xoxoxo

I always leave your class excited to return. Looking forward to seeing you in July.

I made the spinach and feta fritatta, pesto pasta and salad with blue cheese dressing tonight. It was all delicious. I have a question about the blue cheese. How do you measure 1/4 Cup from a block of cheese? Is it based on ounces? teh one I bought had a very strong blue cheese flavor when I made it and it wasnt last night. It just had a hint of blue cheese at the class. Could it be the cheese I purchased was just so strong????? I hope you can clear this up for me.

I assume you mean the hardcover book (the paperback was a real embarrassment to me). I hesitate to give you a one-size-fits-all answer. Please name the recipes, and I’ll tell you as it applies

I am wondering if I can freeze any of the pantry recipes in chapter 2? I know you say they last 2 weeks in the fridge, but I’m hoping of having a way to safely preserve them in smaller quantities for longer.
Thank you!

I avoid talking about brands, still I will just answer your question. I love Callebaut, for many reasons: It is delicious, lots of the items on their line are pareve, and it is affordable!

I do stock up on Noblesse, Schmerling etc. chocolate during Passover. Is there a luxury chocolate brand KOSHER OF COURSE you use / recommend for during the year??
thanks.
