Disney recipes at home

Since we don't eat at Disney restaurants regularly but see lots of yummy food references on here, I decided to make some Disney recipes at home. So far I have tried the Banana Bread pudding form Boma, and the corn bread from the Hoop Dee Doo. Both turned out absolutely fantastic! And of course, can't forget my Grey Goose Slushy!
Have any of you tried any Disney recipes at home? I intend to continue with my yummy experiments, much to my diabetic DH's dismay sad He samples and approves, but the rest is for me!

I have made the Grill Cheese from Captain Cooks. Minus the Poly chips. Thats great!

Adult Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Served on multigrain sunflower bread with cheddar, Swiss, and blue cheese, frisee, and tomato. Served with Polynesian chips. -

I've made several recipes from various Food & Wine Festival cookbooks as well as some stuff from the Restaurant Marrakesh cookbook. It's a great way to keep the magic going after we get home from a WDW vacation.

And I also make kir at home - that's a drink they serve at Les Chefs de France that I really like.

I think I need to start collecting some cookbooks. So far I get my recipes from all ears, and they do have a lot but I don't remember any from the f&w, that would be fun to add to my project. Some are really complicated like my beloved zebra domes, others are pretty simple.

On the All Ears recipe page, scroll down almost to the bottom. The F&W Fest recipes are between the Epcot World Showcase recipes and the Magic Kingdom recipes.

I also made the Kalua Pork Sliders with Pineapple Chutney and Spicy Mayonnaise on Pineapple-Brioche Buns at home too. I could eat that every day! Here's my pic from the F & W F.

Thanks for the info, guess I didn't look well enough!
omg the pork sliders look delish!
Lets see, it's storming here, as usual lately, and looking at that pic is making me hungry, think maybe I'll see what else I can cook up!

Oh goodness! We have a few world showcase cookbooks, the tiny ones that were under $10 last time I went. Norway especially has some really good fish recipes.

But finding out that All Ears has so many recipes from the parks and resorts on it has been a blessing and a curse. I want to make them all but don't have nearly the time or money! We made the BBQ sauce from Flame Tree a while back, which turned out nicely. Want to try the Coca Cola one from Boma at some point, too. It can get annoying trying to scale down the 20 serving recipes, but so worth it!

I'm big on doing "theme" cooking. Right now, I'm doing U.S. regional cuisine because it's a Presidential election year. That started around the 4th of July and will last till the November election, with two breaks: first, a 2 1/2 week break for the Olympics, which means a new theme of international cuisine. And then a week-long break for our WDW vacation in October, although I can sneak some regional favorites into the mix at restaurants like 50s Prime Time and Liberty Tree.

So now, you have me thinking that when all this stuff and the holidays are over, I should devote some of the long, dark, cold winter days to Disney-themed cooking. I could make stuff from F&W Fest, stuff from the parks, stuff from the resorts...heck, I could do this for months. Maybe even till our next WDW vacation.

Tonight I used the mac and cheese recipe from Jiko that is on AllEars. Modified it a bit, adding crab meat to the mix and panko bread crumbs on top for crunch! Worked well because the flavors of the cheeses they use are very light so they didn't overpower the crab.

OMG the mac and cheese w crab sounds incredible! I am definitely trying that soon.
Mase, I love the fufu, and I looked at the recipe, but I am the only one who would eat it, so maybe I'll half the recipe and try it sometime.

I copy stuff from WDW restaurants all the time. I'm a chef and my wife likes to challenge me to make things we've tried at Disney without the recipe. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes, not so much. I've been working on the Tusker House menu items lately (um, with a little help from Tusker House chef Chris Yacavonne). Been able thus far to work out the Peri Peri Salmon, Tamarind BBQ Seafood Stew, and the Moroccan Root Vegetable Stew. If anybody wants any of those recipes, just holler.

Actually, I would love the Moroccan Root Vegetable Stew! It's been so hot that I've been cooking in bulk when I get the chance and am trying to avoid heavy meats, so that sounds delightful.

Any chance you know how to make the chicken chipotle sausage from the Canada F&W Fest booth? I found a recipe online, but while it gives detailed instructions for the polenta, all it says for the sausage is "buy sausage." And I can't find chicken chipotle sausage (or even pork chipotle sausage) anywhere.

It's not likely they're cranking out fresh sausage for a F&WF booth. It's most likely from a distributor, probably Bac N Bite or Schreiner's in Canada. Sorry I can't be of more help on this one.

Are you sure? I could have sworn I saw a thing on TV once that was all about how Disney buys whole animals and has it's own butcher that breaks everything down in a central location before sending it on to the restaurants. That way everything could be customized but costs still controlled. It's possible that I'm 100% wrong on that because I don't really remember where I heard it.

I'm not at all sure. I just don't think it's likely. There is a central butcher but the chefs are not required to utilize it. Disney's executive chefs basically get to run their restaurants as though they owned them.
