Hi Joan,

The recipe below doesn't seem to be the correct one, but it was posted as a reply to a request for the same espnzone recipe on a message board. It's the only one that I could locate.

Apple Walnut Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette

1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup cranberries
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
1 cup vegetable oil
   salt and pepper to taste
10 cups mixed salad greens, rinsed and dried
2 Red Delicious apples, cored and thinly sliced

 Directions
1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the walnuts out
on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the
preheated oven, or until lightly toasted.
2 In a food processor, combine the cranberries, vinegar, onion, sugar, and
mustard. Puree until smooth; gradually add oil, and season with salt and
pepper.
3 In a salad bowl, toss together the greens, apples, and enough of the
cranberry mixture to coat. Sprinkle with walnuts, and serve.

  The stewed tomato recipe was made with 4 slices of buttered bread 
  cut into cubes.  Then you put 2 slices of the buttered bread in the 
  bottom of the casserole dish, add whole, sliced or cubed tomatoes 
  with just a little of juice, don't remember the spices if any, the 
  rest of the bread on top and you cook it for how long and at what 
  temperature.  The last few minutes you add cheese to the top so 
  it can melt.

Hi Steph,

I could not find a recipe for zhua fan anywhere. However, I did find an article about food in Xinjiang which described the dish as:

"Breakfast eaters with hardier taste buds may prefer ``zhua fan'' or ``grabbed rice'' -- a concoction of rice, raisins, nuts and grated carrots fried in swirling mutton fat that is eaten with the hands." The full article about Xinjiang cuisine is at: Xinjiang

"Pet" is an American milk company that produces, among other things, canned evaporated milk. The "Pet" brand has been very popular in the U.S. for many years, so popular that many recipes just say "Pet milk" instead of saying "evaporated milk."

You can use any brand of evaporated milk that's available to you in New Zealand in those recipes.
