Hi,
My name is Lil Smith. 35 years ago my husband proposed to me at a little restaurant in Atlanta, GA named 103 West.
We got lost on our way and we're late for our reservation, had a fight but here we are. I was 15 and my husband
was 21. We've been married 32 years and have 2 beautiful children 13 and 10. That night we had whole lobsters
for the first time and a delicious Orange flavored souffle. I am a chef in my own right and have opened 2 restaurants.
I've never braved a souffle but, would love to attempt the one we had that night. Can you help me find the recipe?
Please
Hello Lil,
At first I was unable to find this. I could not find a recipe for “orange soufflé from 103 West.” Next, I checked
online for menus from 103 West, which is an ongoing, well-known dining destination in Atlanta. The first few menus
that I found did not have an orange soufflé listed at all. I was about to give up and send you some generic orange
soufflé recipes, but I decided to try once more to find other 103 West menus. I found one that listed a
“Grand Marnier Soufflé,” at: Zmenu
Of course! Grand Marnier is an orange-flavored liqueur, so I thought that must be it.
Searching for a 103 West Grand Marnier Soufflé recipe, I found that the Atlanta PBS station had published several
recipes from 103 West and that the Grand Marnier Soufflé was one of them. That PBS page is PBS Atlanta
The recipe is below.

I know, how ordinary. I recently went on a Carnival cruise
and enjoyed their amazing strawberry cheesecake. This cheesecake is approximately
11-12 inches in diameter, two layers and frosted with an amazing topping;
sort of a combination of buttercream and cream cheese but lighter. Of course
there were strawberries on top. I asked the logical people on board for the
recipe with no positive results. Could you help dear Uncle?
Hi Rosie,
For some reason, my server’s SPAM filter does not like your e-mail format. I had to use a special program to open your message.
I had no success finding a recipe for Carnival Cruise Lines Strawberry Cheesecake, although I might have found a photo of it here:
Pinterest
I’ll post this for reader input.
Did you know Carnival Cruise lines has a website for their recipes? See:
Cruisin
There is also a message board for Cruise Ship folks where people ask for recipes. See:
Cruisemates

Hello this is Rik, I asked about Hellman's mayo by Gloria Pitzer previously. I actually have the recipe someplace,
but I have a 3 car garage loaded with boxes from a move. I may never find it.
Here is a sad sad story. I made this when I was a kid - it was on the back of a Hershey's baking chocolate box.
It was called "Creamy Citrus Saucery". You made two layers, one with melted baking chocolate, the other with
Jello (obviously lemon or orange). It was more than just chocolate, and the citrus layer was more than just Jello.
I don't remember. You put in one layer at a time in a paper muffin cup and froze it before adding the next, total
of four layers.
Anyway, I mentioned it on a website and someone actually typed it out and added it. Of course, I always found it
when I googled, so I didn't think I'd need to write it down anymore. Of course, now it isn't coming up and I can't
remember the name of the site.
Hershey's doesn't have it, I checked with them. Many Thanks.
Hi Rik,
Sorry, I cannot find anything at all like your description or dish name. I’ll post your request for reader input.
