This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Of course, I can't leave any recipe alone. I wasn't keen on the soy sauce so I omitted it and added an extra 1/2 tsp of salt. I also needed a bit more so I added 4 oz of tomato sauce and 1/2c water. Also didn't have any honey so I used 1 tsp of sugar. This recipe is amazing. The longer it cooked, the better it got. I uploaded the photo too! I'm using it for lasagna. Yummy!

Made this recipe just as directed except I used just 1 - 6 oz. can of tomato paste. It turned out with perfect thickness. This was enjoyed by all. Thanks.

I've made this 3 times now and have enjoyed it more each time. Instead of using individual seasonings, I just use an italian seasoning blend that includes all the ingrediants which works well enough for me. I've made this for my friends and also my Fiancee and they all enjoy it!
