Madeira Peppercorn Sauce

Garden Gallery
The Disney Inn

I enjoy making the various sauces in this book because I can put them on any meat that I see fit. Most of the time that means chicken, to the dismay of my husband. Regardless, this was best on chicken. It wasn't bad at all, but also wasn't amazing. For that reason, it got an average 3 mickeys.


Frocaccie Bread

Flagler's
Disney's Grand Floridian Beach Resort

Flagler's was an Italian restaurant that was operated until 1997. In it's place now is Citrico's.

This bread was great. I was highly surprised. It didn't look that good from the outside, but boy did it smell good! We dipped it in an infused oil and it was amazing. I even ate it for bedtime snacks some nights. 4 mickeys!

Eggs Kamehameha

Papeete Bay Verandah
Disney's Polynesian Resort

Wow was this unimpressive. Imagine a cooked egg...on a piece of fried bread. And nothing else. Yep. You got it. The cheese is hardly noticeable and the white wine flavor was missing. Only 2 mickeys. This was kind of gross.


Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce

Chef Mickey's Village Restaurant
Disney Village Marketplace

The hollandaise sauce on this isn't bad (okay, I admit, I broke it. It would have been better had I done it right). Other than that, it's a basic eggs Benedict...with olives on top. I can't say much more to it that that.

3 mickeys.

Country Frittata

Grand Floridian Cafe
Disney's Grand Floridian Beach Resort

Nothing about this recipe is difficult...in fact, anyone could probably come up with it, but it was still tasty.
It's basically an omelet with ham, onion, potatoes, corn, swiss cheese ham, and tomato.

4 mickeys.

Bran Muffins

Farmers Market
The Land, EPCOT Center

This was an incredibly easy recipe. I liked the muffins, my husband did not. They are not very sweet, but it's a bran muffin. Take it for what it is. They are fairly thick and heavy, so if there was a way to make them fluffier I think they would taste a bit better. Judging them against what they are, they get 4 mickeys.

Bordelaise Sauce

Chefs de France
France, EPCOT

I made this recipe to go on steak, but it would have been great on pork chops or even chicken. It had a great smoky, robust flavor to it, but it wasn't overwhelming. I will make this sauce again. 4 mickeys!
