Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup warm water (105º to 115ºF)
1 package Fleischmann's® Active Dry Yeast
3/4 cup warm milk (105º to 115ºF)
2 tablespoons butter -- softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour (3 to 3 1/2 cups)
2 egg whites
3/4 cup chopped walnuts -- toasted
Place warm water in large, warm bowl. Sprinkle in yeast; stir until dissolved. Add warm milk, butter, sugar, salt and 1 1/2 cups flour; blend well. Stir in 1 egg white, walnuts and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
Punch dough down. Remove dough to lightly floured surface; divide into four equal pieces. Roll each to 8- × 4-inch rectangle. Beginning at short end of each, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Place, seam sides down, in four greased mini loaf pans (about 3- × 6-inches). Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Lightly beat remaining egg white; brush on loaves. With sharp knife, make three diagonal slashes on each loaf. Bake at 400ºF for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.

8 oz Flour
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 pt Water
2 oz Beef drippings
TOP
12 oz Puff pastry
Beaten egg for glaze
FILLING
1 lb Minced beef
1 "cube" beef stock
1 ts Salt
Pepper to taste
1/2 pt Water
1 pn Nutmeg
3 tb Flour

6 Foot Party Sandwich
from NY, USA
1, 6 foot bread (Italian) whole
4 pounds thin slice cold cuts (turkey, salami, pastrami, bologna, etc. etc.)
2 pounds assorted sliced cheese
1 head of ice burg lettuce knife shredded
1 quart jar of mayonnaise
several onions very thin sliced
6 large tomatoes thin sliced
1 quart jar of kosher dills thin sliced
salt, pepper
optional: 1 plastic jar of mustard
long toothpicks
Here are my tips and advice:
Order a large bread from your deli or bakery . In my area the bread costs about $20 plus a refundable fee for the board it comes on. I have been making my own 6 foot subs for years for all sorts of parties and I enjoy the ingredients of my choice.
Obviously to do this one needs a large enough vehicle to retrieve the bread and counter space to prepare!
Pick up the bread on the day you plan to serve this. It will fit into a van.
One needs a long table to lay the bread with board on. Slice bread in half with a serrated knife.One person to help hold the bread and the other to slice. Spread one half of bread with mayonnaise and the other half with mustard. Then layer on the meats and cheeses. Then layer the onions, tomatoes, lettuce and pickles. Salt and pepper to taste. Add anything else you want to (sliced or hot peppers etc. etc. ) Carefully place on top half of bread to cover.
It takes two people to do this.
Use long wooden bamboo skewers or very long toothpicks to secure sections of the sandwich together. One can cut a good 30 pieces - more if cut a bit smaller. Unless one has a cooler to store the sandwich, it is best to prepare the sandwich just before serving time. It takes me about 10 minutes to do this.
I usually slice the vegetables ahead of time using a hand mandolin or slicer. Vegetables are then stored in plastic storage bags the morning I plan to make the sandwich. I usually try to buy the cold cuts ahead of time on sale. Most cold cuts freeze well.
The hardest part is having room enough to prepare the sandwich. The best part is eating it!!!!
Of course potato salad, macaroni salad and other party salads are great accompaniments.

A Trio of LatkesBasic Mix For One recipe
Approximately 1/2 cup flour( could be matzoth meal instead )
1/2 tsp salt or to taste
fresh grated black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 very large onion finely grated ( divided , larger amount goes for potato pancake recipe )
minced fresh garlic ( optional ) esp. nice in zucchini recipe
1 Tbs fresh chopped or dried parsley for potato pancake recipe
1/2 tsp cinnamon for sweet potato recipe
2 to 4 large eggs
Vegetables:
6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes ( or yellow potatoes ) fine chopped/ grated
1 medium zucchini shredded skin on
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and finely chopped or fine shredded or fine grated
Oil to fry
Accompany with: applesauce, sour cream, maple syrup, mango chutney etc.
I made this ratio for a latke party. One may use only one recipe if desired. I made all 3 varieties and had some leftovers; which may be reheated in the oven. However fried foods taste best freshly made and when served immediately !
Into each of three mixing bowls place the flour, salt, pepper, baking powder and stir well.
Grate one large onion and divide into the 3 bowls, using more onion for potato pancake batter.
For Potato pancakes peel and chop raw potatoes in food processor ( metal blade ) - or finely grate by hand. ( place peeled potatoes in ice cold water as you finish peeling them )
Place grated potatoes in colander to drain off liquid. Then place potatoes in clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess water by hand ( you will be amazed how much is squeezed out ).
Place potatoes into bowl with batter ingredients and add 2 to 3 large eggs, some fresh chopped or dried parsley to taste and mix well by hand to achieve thick batter consistency
For Zucchini pancakes: shred zucchini and press out excess liquid in colander. Add to dry ingredients with 3 eggs, and mix well. Garlic is a nice addition here.
For Sweet potatoes. Peel and finely chop/grate. There is really no excess liquid with raw sweet potatoes. Add to flour mixture and add cinnamon to taste along with 3 eggs and mix well.
All recipes should have a thick batter consistency and so one may have to adjust the amount of flour & eggs etc to achieve that consistency
Heat oil in a heavy duty skillet ( at least one inch deep ) to about 360F med high heat until oil is wavy and a drop of batter placed into oil will float to top and sizzle. Too cold oil and fry foods get greasy and soggy , too hot, fried foods brown and don't cook through
Drop batter by heaping tablespoons/or level mixing spoons and spread out top with bottom of spoon. Fry each side till golden brown several minutes each side and turn to other side frying till golden brown again; ideally turning each pancake over just one. Drain on paper toweling, remove and place on serving platter. Or keep warm in 200F oven until all are fried and ready to serve.
Serve with your favorite condiments.
Yield: for each type of pancake recipe: approximately 10 to 12 servings all depends how large they are when going into oil to fry.
Note: Leftover batters may be saved ,and baked into a kugel, in greased pan in 350F oven till golden
I often mix both the zucchini and potato batters for a kugel.
The sweet potato latkes( natural sugars in sweet potatoes ) may tend to burn more quickly when fried.

Adobo
I was requested to submit this recipe here. This is a very common Filipino dish and very practical for tropical countries because of the lack of electricity and appliances in villages and it can keep for days without refrigeration. This dish however has become one of the Philippine favorites even in cities and towns.
ADOBO
1 Kg. cubed Pork (best with the fat)
1 Chicken chopped into small pieces (Optional)
1 cup Soy Sauce
3/4 cup vinegar
2 pcs. Laurel Leaves
1 Tbs. Peppercorns
1 clove garlic, chopped
Combine all ingredients in a caserole and bring to a boil. Bring heat to medium and simmer until meat is very tender. Some would transfer the dish to a wok and fry the dish in its own oil until the pork and chicken are shredded.
Serve with rice.
Most families do this purely with pork. For variation it is also good to include chicken slices. This they call Chicken-Pork Adobo.

African Turnovers1 pound ground chicken ( I imagine could be beef etc. )
1 small onion diced
Filling:
1 small carrot
small amt red cabbage
1 small onion
some cilantro chopped
seasoned salt to taste
dash of chili powder to taste
1 pkg spring roll wrappers
flour and water paste
oil to fry
My daughter works with a woman from Africa who makes these delicious turnovers in a triangular pocket shape. The turnover has a triangular pocket in which another flap covers the triangle pocket and the whole thing is again one triangular shaped appetizer. The turnover should be brown and crisp with a moist chicken and vegetable filling.
Sauté ground chicken with some diced onion until cooked. Drain off any liquid from chicken.
Grind or fine shred vegetables and press through strainer or cloth to rid excess liquid.
Sauté the veges in a bit of oil until softened and tender. Drain off any liquid from vegetables and add to chicken.
Cool. Mixture shouldn't have any excess liquid.
Add dash of chili powder to taste along with salt and pepper to taste. Add some chopped fresh cilantro as desired
Form and fill egg roll wrappers into a triangular shape pocket , sealing cover edges with a bit flour paste. Fry rolls in hot oil until browned and crisp. Drain and serve immediately.
Note: filling may be more than needed depending on how many wrappers one has.
You don't have to have a triangle shape, fill and seal as desired, making sure edges stick together so when deep fried filling stays intact.
African Vegetable Stew
from Philadelphia, PA
1 very large onion,chopped
1 bunch Swiss chard
1 can garbanzo beans 500 g (known also as chick peas, ceci, etc.)
1/2 cup raisins 75 g
1/2 cup uncooked rice 100 g
several fresh tomatoes (or 1 large can 800 g of canned tomatoes)
1 clove garlic (or more to taste)
2 yams
salt and pepper to taste
tabasco sauce to taste
Fry onion, garlic, and white stems of chard until barely limp. Add chopped greens and fry a bit. Either peel the yams or scrub them well with a vegetable brush, then slice them into thick slices. Add garbanzos, raisins, yams, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook a couple of minutes. Make a well in the center of the mixture in the pot. Put the rice in the well and pat it down until it's wet. Cover and cook until rice is done(emabout 25 minutes. Add Tabasco sauce to taste. I find that the flavors of the vegetables don't stand out unless you put in a lot of tabasco. But then, I've got a cast-iron tongue. You should add enough to make the stew seem spicy to you. Difficulty: easy. Time: 15 minutes preparation, 30 minutes cooking. Precision: no need to measure.

4 oz Prosciutto; in one piece
4 oz Pancetta; in one piece
2 Italian sausages without
-fennel seed
4 tb Unsalted butter
4 Extra-large eggs
3/4 c Bread crumbs, unseasoned
5 tb Parmesan cheese; grated
Salt & black pepper to taste
MMMMM---------------------TO COOK MEAT BALLS--------------------------
4 qt Chicken broth
MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
8 tb Unsalted butter
1/2 lb Mascarpone
1/2 c Heavy cream
Salt & black pepper to taste
1 pn Freshly grated nutmeg
MMMMM--------------------------TO SERVE-------------------------------
8 tb Parmesan cheese; grated
Cut the prosciutto and pancetta into small pieces and remove the
casing from the sausages. Using a meat grinder, grind together the
prosciutto, pancetta, and sausages. Place the ground meat in a
crockery or glass bowl, add the butter and eggs, and mix very well
with a wooden spoon until the butter is completely incorporated. Add
the bread crumbs and Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. Cover
the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.
When ready, bring the broth to a boil in a large pot over medium heat.
Meanwhile, place a large skillet with the butter over low heat. When
the broth reaches a boil, start shaping the meat mixture into tiny
meat balls; a heaping tablespoon of mixture will be enough to prepare
several. Make sure the meat balls are solid with no holes inside.
Drop the balls into the boiling broth a few at a time, and as they
rise to the top, tansfer them with a slotted spoon to the skillet
containing the butter. When all the meat balls are cooked and in the
skillet, add the mascarpone and heavy cream. Mix very well and simmer
for 1 or 2 minutes, or until the mascarpone is completely dissolved.
Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix very well, then transfer to
a warmed serving platter. Serve immediately, with some Parmesan on
the side.

Alfalfa and Avocado with Sesame Mayo
from Tipperary, Ireland
Serves 4
3oz sesame seeds
4oz unblanched almonds
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 lemon, juice only
1 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tsp tamari soy sauce (optional)
pinch of ground black pepper
3 tbsp water
2 perfect avocados - ½ per person
4oz alfalfa sprouts, rinsed and drained
1. Reserve a spoonful of the sesame seeds and roast the rest in a dry pan for 5 minutes.
2. Put everything else, except the avocado and alfalfa, into a blender or food processor. Whiz on full power until you have a mayonnaise-like sauce. You may need to add a little extra water or lemon juice.
2. Cut the avocados in half and remove the stones. Place the cut sides down and score the skin with the tip of a sharp knife down the middle. You should now be able to gently pull off the skins in two pieces, leaving the pear halves intact.
3. Divide the alfalfa sprouts evenly between four serving plates, flatten the mounds a little and gently loosen them. Place an avocado half on top of the sprouts and cut it across into slices, holding it together with the other hand. Push gently to fan out the slices evenly. Pour the sauce on top and sprinkle with the remaining seeds. Serve as a lunch of first course.
Note:
As always, choosing the perfect avocado is the difference between heaven and dreadful disappointment. Choose them evenly green and giving to slight pressure at the stem end. The black knobbly type, or Hass, is trickier to judge as the skins are very hard even when the fruit is soft inside. If they are hard in the shop, buy them anyway and wait 3-4 days before making this dish, while the avocado ripens to perfection in your kitchen.

Alfredo's BBQ Fish MarinadeThis one is from San Jose, California, USA. My husband enjoys fishing. While on a fishing trip for Dorado (Mahi Mahi) to the Gulf of California, Sea of Cortez, he picked up this recipe from one of the local fishing guides.
Alfredo's BBQ Fish Marinade
1 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Cup Lime Juice
1 Cup Vinegar
1 Cup Oil
2 Tsp. Pepper
2 Tbsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Lawry's Season Salt
1/4 Cup Sesame Seeds
1 Clove Garlic Minced
Mix all the above ingredients in deep dish. Marinate fish for one hour before grilling.
Tastes very good on fresh Mahi Mahi or Ahi Tuna. Depending on your preference you can cut back on the salt. I prefer to cut back on the salt by at least half or not add it to the recipe. Try it full strength at least once, then decide.

Almond Pumpkin CharlotteAlmond Pumpkin Charlotte (france)
from: Great Recipes of the world Nov 1982
30 single ladyfingers
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup milk (I used skim milk)
1/3 cup dark rum
4 eggs, separated or 1 cup of Eggbeaters with 8 tablespoons of Just Whites
2/3 cups brown sugar
2 cups mashed pumpkin (canned or freshly made0

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground
1 cup whipping cream,whipped with 3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup toasted almonds. chopped
additional whipped cream for topping.
Trim off tip end of the ladyfingers to fit the height of an 8 inch springform pan. Stand ladyfingers in the pan with curved side against the side of pan.
Set aside. In a large saucepan, combine gelatin, milk, rum, egg yolks (reserve whites for later) and 1/3 cup of sugar. stir over low heat to make a soft custard, 5-10 minutes. remove from heat. Stir in pumpkin, orange peel and spices. Set aside. In another bowl, beat egg white until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar. gently fold egg white mixture and whipped
cream into pumpkin alternately. fold in almonds. Turn into prepared Ladyfinger-lined pan. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 6 hours or up to 3 days. when ready to serve, remove springform.Pipe rosettes of whipped cream around edges of dessert.
Note: I did not have ladyfingers. so I crushed some nuts with sugar and spread on the bottom of the pan and left the sides bare. I also do not own a cake
decorator, so cut a tiny corner off a baggie, put the whipped cream in and piped blobs. looked fine, tasted good.
Almond Snack MixThis heart-healthy snack is quite a good alternative to cheese puffs and other such items... great for a Super Bowl party!
Serves 4; 1/2 cup per serving
1/3 cup whole unsalted almonds
2/3 cup multibran or whole-grain cereal squares
1/2 cup low-fat granola cereal without raisins
1/4 cup dried apricot halves, cut into strips, or golden raisins
1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spread the almonds in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted, stirring once or twice to ensure even baking. Transfer to a plate to cool completely. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients. Stir in the cooled almonds.
Cook's Tip: If all the snack mix isn't likely to be eaten on the day you make it, we recommend using the golden raisins. The moisture of the dried apricots may cause the cereal to lose its crispness over time. Be sure the almonds are completely cooled when you add them to the mix; otherwise, they will make it soggy.

Alu MattarALU MATTAR (North India)
3 large onions, in thin slivers
3 med. potatoes, peeled & cut in chunks
10 oz. pkg. frozen peas, defrosted
2 or 3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2" ginger root, finely julienned & chopped
1 or 2 green chilies
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander, optional
1 or 2 dry red chilies
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cayenne, optional
3 or 4 tbsp peanut oil or ghee (recipe below), or mixture of both
salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
(spices may be increased, decreased, &/or varied, but do not omit cumin & turmeric)
In a heavy sauce pan, sautee onions in the oil &/or ghee at a fairly high temperature, stirring frequently and adding small amounts of water if necessary to prevent burning. When the onions are transparent and brownish, add the garlic & ginger, stir briefly, and add potatoes, green chilies (whole) and red chilies. Stir a lot and, as before, add water if necessary. After about 5 minutes, depending on size of potato chunks, add spices and salt & pepper, stir briefly, and then add enough water to cover potatoes. Turn heat to low, cover pot, and simmer until potatoes are cooked through. Add peas & stir very briefly. Add more water if necessary (the onions should almost dissolve, creating a fair amount of gravy-like sauce). Add coriander leaves. Serve with rice.
Ghee: in a small pan, melt about 1/2 pound unsalted butter. Bring it to a slow boil, skimming the foam as it rises to the top. Do not stir. After foam has stopped coming up, simmer slowly for about 10-15 minutes, uncovered. Turn off heat and let stand. Whatever milk solids are left will precipitate to bottom of pan. Allow to cool somewhat, and carefully pour into glass container, leaving particles behind. Ghee will keep, unrefrigerated, for a long time.

Amber Citrus MarmaladeHere's one from circa 1973 (I collect & save recipes for years); so out of my Alton, IL, USA archives, here's a midwestern favorite:
AMBER CITRUS MARMALADE
1 Lg. Grapefruit
1 Lemon
1 Lg. Orange
Sugar (approx. 7 cups)
Wash fruit. Cut grapefruit into 8 wedges, and orange & lemon into 4 wedges. Then cut wedges crosswise into thin slices; save the juice.
In a 6-qt. kettle, combine all fruit, fruit juice, and 1 1/2 qts of water. Bring to boiling; boil rapidly, uncovered for 30 minutes or until peel is tender. Measure fruit mixture; return to kettle. Add 1 cup sugar for each cup of
fruit mixture. Bring to boiling again, stirring until sugar is dissolved; boil rapidly, stirring frequently for another 30 minutes or until the mixture is thick and reaches jellying point* (Be careful not to overcook since the marmalade would become too dark and tasste scorched.)
In the meantime, sterilize 8 (8 oz.) jelly glasses by boiling them for 20 minutes. Keep them in hot water until ready to fill. Lift out with tongs. Remove marmalade from heat. Ladle immediately into hot, sterilized glasses, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Cover immediately w/ about 1/8 inch of hot paraffin. Let glasses stand overnight or until cool. Cover glasses with metal lids.
Makes 7 or 8 (8 oz.) glasses
* To test for jellying point: Dip a large metal spoon into boiling syrup; tilt spoon so syrup runs off edge. Syrup is at jellied point when it doesn't flow, but divides into 2 drops that run together and sheet from the spoon.
***** A "Skeeter's" Neater Way to Do It Tip...........
When stuffing snacks, use a pastry tube for soft fillings in things like devilled eggs, stuffing celery, or topping crackers. There's little mess this way and if you use a decorator tip, you'll be a hit with your professional looking touch!

AnguBrazilian Cornmeal
1 tbsp oil
2 cloves garlic, minced ~ 2 tsp
1 white onion, finely chopped ~ 1/4 cup
2-3 cups cold water
1/2 cup stone ground cornmeal
salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Servings: 6 to 8
Notes: Angu (pronounced "aing goo") is a sort of polenta, one of the many cooked starch pastes one finds in Brazil. For best results, use a fine, stone ground cornmeal.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Cook the garlic and onion over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until soft but not brown. Add 2 cups water and bring to a rapid boil.
Add the cornmeal in a thin stream through your fingers, stirring vigorously to prevent lumps. The mixture should be the consistency of choux pastry or soft ice cream. If too thick, make a hole in the angu with a wooden spoon and stir in a little cold water. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Correct the seasoning and serve at once.
Note: For a prettier presentation, the angu can be spooned into a thickly buttered tube pan and unmolded onto a platter.

Thoroughly stir together flour, anise, baking powder, and slat and set aside. Using a small sharp knife peel a thin layer of zest (without white membrane) from the entire lemon. Combine lemon zest and sugar in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until zest is very finely minced. Add shortening and butter to the processor and process for one minute. Add egg yolk and vanilla and process 20 seconds longer. Add dry ingredients and continue processing just until they are blended. Divide dough in half and place each portion between large sheets of waxed paper and roll out to 1/8 inch thick. Check the underside of the dough to check for any creases. Slide dough onto a large tray or baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until the dough is chilled and slightly firm. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease several baking sheets.
Work one half of the dough at at time. Turn the dough over and peel the sheet of wax paper off of the dough and replace the paper loosely. Then turn the dough right side up. Peel off and discard the top sheet of paper. Using assorted 2 1/4 to 3" cookie cutters cut out cookies. Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until just brown ant the edges.

Anti-Vampire Pizza
Anti-Vampire Pizza (dead easy too!)
Base : any pizza base your heart desires.
Sauce : raw garlic cloves, crushed or chopped, add enough olive oil to
cover the garlic pieces. I usually snip in some fresh basil leaves and add
a dash of Italian seasoning.
Depending on your taste (and nutritional inclinations!), you can massage,
drizzle or pour the oil onto the base, making sure you have a decent amount
of garlic distributed on the crust. I usually end up using at least 3
cloves for a 10" pizza. Top with toppings of choice, and as much or as
little mozzarella cheese as you like.
Topping Variations :
1. Vegetarian
For a 10" pizza, slice up 10 mushrooms and a medium-sized onion. Saute
onions until limp, add mushrooms and cook until onions are golden. (For a
double whammy, I used olive oil in which chopped garlic had been sitting
for a day, and also added a clove of minced garlic to the saute mixture. A
little nugget of garlic or herb butter will also add extra flavour, but
that's optional.) Season to taste with a teaspoon (or more!) of lime or
lemon juice, and pepper.
2. Garlicky Shrimp
Both fresh and cooked shrimp are fine for this. As for the veggie pizza,
saute an onion and a clove of garlic. Chuck the peeled shrimp in halfway if
you're using the raw stuff, if not, add cooked shrimp when the onion/garlic
mixture is golden. Whack them around so they are well coated. Adding some
rosemary, basil and/or a dash of Italian seasoning is also nice.

Anzac BiscuitsDuring World War 1, the wives, mothers and girlfriends of the Australian soldiers were concerned for the nutritional value of the food being supplied to their men. Here was a problem. Any food they sent to the fighting men had to be carried in the ships of the Merchant Navy. Most of these were lucky to maintain a speed of ten knots (18.5 kilometers per hour). Most had no refrigerated facilities, so any food sent had to be able to remain edible after periods in excess of two months. A body of women came up with the answer - a biscuit with all the nutritional value possible. The basis was a Scottish recipe using rolled oats. These oats were used extensively in Scotland, especially for a heavy porridge that helped counteract the extremely cold climate.
The ingredients they used were: rolled oats, sugar, plain flour, coconut, butter, golden syrup or treacle, bi-carbonate of soda and boiling water. All these items did not readily spoil. At first the biscuits were called Soldiers' Biscuits, but after the landing on Gallipoli, they were renamed ANZAC Biscuits.
A point of interest is the lack of eggs to bind the ANZAC biscuit mixture together. Because of the war, many of the poultry farmers had joined the services, thus, eggs were scarce. The binding agent for the biscuits was golden syrup or treacle. Eggs that were sent long distances were coated with a product called ke peg (like Vaseline) then packed in air tight containers filled with sand to cushion the eggs and keep out the air.
As the war drew on, many groups like the CWA (Country Women's Association), church groups, schools and other women's organisations devoted a great deal of time to the making of ANZAC biscuits. To ensure that the biscuits remained crisp, they were packed in used tins, such as Billy Tea tins. You can see some of these tins appearing in your supermarket as exact replicas of the ones of earlier years. Look around. The tins were airtight, thus no moisture in the air was able to soak into the biscuits and make them soft. Most people would agree there is nothing worse than a soft biscuit.
During World War 2, with refrigeration in so many Merchant Navy Ships, the biscuits were not made to any great extent. It was now possible to send a greater variety of food, like fruit cake.
ANZAC biscuits are still made today. They can also be purchased from supermarkets and specialty biscuit shops. Around ANZAC Day, these biscuits are also often used by veterans' organisations to raise funds for the care and welfare of aged war veterans.
1 cup plain flour
1 cup rolled oats (regular oatmeal) uncooked
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp golden syrup (or honey)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tbsp boiling water
Combine the flour (sifted), oats, coconut and sugar in a bowl. Melt the butter and Golden Syrup (or honey) in a saucepan over a low heat.
Mix the bicarbonate of soda with the water and add to the butter and Golden Syrup.
Pour the liquids into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Spoon dollops of mixture, about the size of a walnut shell, onto a greased tin leaving as much space again between dollops to allow for spreading.
Bake in a moderate oven, 180C / 350F, for 15-20 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack and seal in airtight containers.
Notes
The American tablespoon is a little smaller than the British tablespoon, so be generous with your Golden Syrup (or Honey) and Water.
If you have any thoughts of keeping the biscuits for any length of time I suggest you keep them in a padlocked container!
For a little variety you may wish to add 2 teaspoons of ginger spice or even Wattle Seeds, a recent addition but don't ask me where to get them.

Apple Caramel Dessert
APPLE CARAMEL DESSERT
from: Good Housekeeping Illustrated Microwave Cookbook
serves6
3/4 cup all purpose flour
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons shortening
5 tablespoons butter or margarine, chilled
2-3 tablespoons ice water
4 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cold water
8 small apples, peeled, cored and thickly sliced
Ice Cream or Heavy or whipping cream
9" broiler safe pie plate
In food processor , process flour, dark brown sugar, and cinnmon until
blended. Add shortening and 3 tablespoons chilled butter or margarine.
Process until mixture resembles coarse crumbs or use plastry blender or
fingertips.
Into mixture sprinkle 2 tablespoons ice water. With pulsing motion,
process just until mixture begins to hold together. If necessary, add another
tablespoon of ice water. Do not over process or mixture will be tough. Shape
into ball. Flatten slightly, wrap in waxed paper and refridgerate 30 minutes.
Prepare caramel. In pie plate, Place remaining butter . Heat, covered
with paper towel on HIGH (100%power) 45 seconds, or until melted. Stir in
sugar and cold water. Cook on HIGH 6-9 Minutes, without stirring. Just until
mixture turns golden, watching carefully since caramel burns easily and
continues to cook and darken when removed from oven. (I check this every 2
minutes)
Remove pie plate from oven. Stir caramel once to distribute color
evenly. In caramel, carefull arrange apple slices in concentric circles.
(there will be enough for 2-3 layers)
On lightly floured surgace, with floured rolling pin, roll dough into 9
inch round, 1/4 inch thick. Place on top of apples. Cook on HIGH 7-10
minutes., Until sruface looks dry. Lightly brown under preheated broiler. Let
stand on heat safe surface 5 minutes.
with knife, loosen dessert from side of pie plate. Invert pie plate
onto serving platter. Carefully remove pie plate to unmold dessert. With
rubber spatula, loosen any slices sticking to pie plate. Place on top of
dessert. Serve warm or cover and chill to serve later.
I like this warm with a scoop of vanilla icecream or cold with sweetened
whipped cream or fruit sauce.

Apple Everything Cake
from New York, USA
1 cup oil

2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, almonds or pecans
1/4 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup drained and chopped maraschino cherries
powdered sugar mixed with cocoa as garnish
This recipe is very simple and delicious and tastes best when aged. Because my recipe does not include any cinnamon ( I don't care for the brownish batter color ) , use of a pure flavor extract is very important. I send this cake often as part of a care package to my daughter in college.
Grease and flour a large fluted cake pan. Preheat oven to 325F.
Beat oil, milk, extract and sugar till well combined. Beat in eggs to combine. Sift dry ingredients together and beat into to wet mixture and combine well. Stir in fruits and nuts.Turn batter into pan and bake until tested done with wooden toothpick- about 60 to 75 minutes. Cool in pan 15 minutes and remove to rack to cool well. Wrap overnight before slicing for best flavor. Dust with sugar/cocoa. 1 large moist cake. Freezes well.

Cream butter and one cup sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping bottom and sides of bowl. Add chopped apples and sour cream. Stir in the sifted dry ingredients. Gently fold in the sliced apples just until they are coated. Pour into prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer. Sift remaining sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake in preheated oven 45 to 50 minutes or until tester comes out clean and edges shrink from sides of the pan.

Apricot Crumbcake
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1
Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts Cakes
=== CAKE BATTER ===
1 stick Unsalted butter -- softened
3/4 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 whole Egg
3 Egg yolks
1 1/4 cups Unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
8 Apricots -- pitted, quartered
=== CRUMB TOPPING ===
1 1/4 cups Unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 stick Unsalted butter -- melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch round cake pan, 2-inches deep and line the bottom with a disk of parchment or wax paper. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and soft. Add the egg and continue beating until light. Add the yolks one at a time, beating well between each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Sift together the flour and baking powder and stir into the batter. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Arrange the apricots skin-side down on the batter in concentric rows, overlapping slightly, leaving a margin of about 1-inch around the edge. Don't be concerned if the apricots mounds slightly in the center of the cake, the top will even out as the cake bakes. For the crumbs, mix the flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Melt the butter and stir it in evenly. Rub the mixture to coarse crumbs by hand. Scatter the crumbs over the apricot and the batter at the edges as evenly as possible. Bake the cake 1 hour until a knife point inserted in the center emerges clean. Cool the cake in the pan for about 15 minutes and invert a plate on it. Invert onto the plate and lift off the pan. Peel off the paper and invert a rack on the cake. Invert onto the rack and cool. This recipe yields ?? servings.
Variations: Substitute 8 pitted and quartered plums or 3 cups fresh cut pineapple.

Apricot Pull-Apart Breadfrom Yardley, PA, USA
Also called "monkey bread", I had this when I was a kid!
one 16 oz. frozen loaf of white bread dough, thawed
one 12 oz. can/jar of apricot cake or pastry filling
3 T melted butter or margarine
1/3 cup sugar
Cut one 16-ounce loaf of frozen white bread dough, thawed, in half lengthwise; then cut into 8 pieces crosswise (16 pieces total).
Flatten pieces of dough with fingers, stretching
slightly to form 4-inch circles. Using the apricot filling, spoon one tablespoon in center of each circle. Bring edges of dough together, pinch to seal. Dip in 3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine and then in 1/3 cup sugar. Pleace, seam side down, in 2 layers in a greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise until almost doubled in size.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until done, covering with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Remove from the pan. Invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm. Makes one loaf (16 servings).
Note: This is the original recipe of what I had growing up. I'm not sure why there's no distinction between using butter or margarine... I'm sure it would would make some sort of a difference in the result but I suppose personal taste and trial and error prevail here.

Apricot Vlaai
Vlaai (pronounced like fly with a "v" instead of an "f") is a traditional pie
or tart from the Province of Limburg in the southern part of the Netherlands.
There are many varieties -- rice, cherry, white chocolate, apple and rum,
crumb, gooseberry -- so use your imagination. The following is one of the
most popular types, apricot.
Sift 500 grams (4 cups) of flour with a pinch of salt into a large mixing
bowl. Warm 1/5 dl (2/3 cup) of milk. Cream 20 g (3/4 oz) of fresh yeast with
the milk in a small bowl. Leave in a warm place until it becomes frothy.
Make a hollow in the mound of flour and pour in the creamed yeast. Stir the
yeast mixture into the flour.
Add 1 large beaten egg, 100 g (1/2 cup) melted butter and 100 g (1/2 cup) of
sugar and knead to a soft dough which easily comes away from the sides of the
bowl.
Shape the dough into a ball, cover the container with a damp cloth and leave
for about 1 hour in a warm place until the dough is well risen. Preheat the
oven to 230 C (450 F).
Lightly grease two large, flat flan tins. Knead the risen dough on a lightly
floured work surface and use it to line the flan tins. Cover the dough with
about 900 g (2 lbs) of apricot compote and garnish with 16 apricot halves,
fresh or tinned (the former being preferable, of course). Bake for 15-25
minutes in the center of the oven. Cool the vlaai on a wire tray and serve
with whipped cream if desired.
Variation:
This special vlaai can also be decorated with a trellis work of pastry. Use
slighty less dough for the base of the vlaai and cover the fruit compote with
a trellis work of pastry strips, approximately 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick.
Use apple or cherry compote as a filling instead of apricots, if desired,
and if fresh fruit is not available, use a commercial fruit pie filling.

Arborio Rice Soup
from Tipperary, Ireland
Makes 4 cups - 4 servings
Arborio rice is an Italian short-grain, high-starch rice used in risotto, Spanish paella, and rice puddings because the grains impart a creamy texture. Use any orange-fleshed winter squash in this soup; they are all sweet and creamy when cooked. You'll find that the smaller ones without ridges are easier to peel and chop.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 celery stalk and greens, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 ½ cups (6 ounces) sliced cremini mushrooms
½ cup uncooked Arborio rice
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
4 cups vegetable stock (make using cubes, powder, or a concentrate available in most supermarkets)
1 ½ cups (about 12 ounces) peeled striped marrow squash (or other winter squash) in ½-inch cubes
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Very thin slices of Pecorino Romano cheese for garnish
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and leaves, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the rice and rosemary; stir until coated with oil. Add the vegetable stock, squash, and lemon zest. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice and squash are tender, about 12 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and season to taste. Serve topped with cheese.
ArepasDave:
I prepared the following for a school teacher who wanted to teach a class how to make some Venezuelan foods for a social studies class, then later adapted it to send to Carole Walberg as a thank you for recipes she sent to me. As I was sending it, I thought it might be something of interest for your International Foods List. Use it as you see fit, or whatever.

VENEZUELAN FOODS
The ingredients necessary to make traditional Venezuelan foods may be very difficult to find in the United States. Much of it contains roots, such as yuca, or a type of sweet potato (called batata) and a whole variety of other things that I have never seen in the U.S. The ever-popular *arepa* is made with ground, cooked white corn meal, which may be impossible to find. As you can see, this could be a challenge. (When we lived in Connecticut, we had to go to the Cuban section of Hartford in order to find plantain bananas and black beans.)
Here are some of the most popular *criolla* dishes that are readily available in local restaurants and made by Venezuelans at home.
AREPA (corn cakes)
The *arepa* (ah-ray-pah; with the accent on the middle syllable) is the local equivalent of a hamburger and is sold in shops called an *arepera* (ah-ray-pay-rah; with the accent on the third syllable). The arepas are cooked fresh. The buyer looks in a cafeteria type hot table to choose the filling s/he desires.
Fillings include shredded cheese, stringy meat cooked in spices, chicken salad with avacado, egg scrambled with onion and green peppers, diced sausage, and a variety of other things. Perhaps the most popular filling is grated American cheese (the one that has a cheddar flavor and is somewhat soft).
The arepa is split open like a hamburger bun (by the person behind the counter), some of the steaming moist corn meal is scooped out and discarded, and the filling is added. The arepa is wrapped in a square of slick paper, like butcher paper, and handed to the purchaser to eat standing up.
Arepas are also made smaller and served in the bread basket at restaurants.
An arepa may be cooked three different ways. Boiled in water, baked in the oven, or fried in hot oil. In the country they are often cooked on a charcoal grill. Most often they are browned on the outside by cooking briefly on a hot griddle, and then placed in the oven (400 degrees) for 15 minutes.
(Remember: the corn meal that is used is pre-cooked, so the *cooking* process is only to give the arepa some color and to make it hot.) The arepa is *done* when it sounds hollow when tapped.
HOW TO MAKE AN AREPA
Take a cup of finely ground, pre-cooked, corn meal (white is preferable, but yellow is also used), add an equal amount of water, a dash of salt and a teaspoon of cooking oil.
Kneed the mixture with your hands until it is thoroughly blended into a dough.
Take a small amount of the dough and pat it into a flat, round cake, about the size of the palm of your hand, or slightly smaller. It should be about a quarter of an inch thick. Shape and press it around the edges to make it even and smooth.
Continue making more cakes until the dough is used up.
Grease a heavy skillet or griddle and place it over a low flame. It should not be too hot. When the surface is hot place the cakes, one or two at a time, on the griddle to brown on both sides. Put them in the oven to bake for about 15 minutes.
(You may also fry them, turning once, in about a quarter inch of hot oil.)
TO SERVE: Slice the arepa like a hamburger bun, discard some of the steaming meal that is still soft in the middle, fill with choice of filling, close the arepa and serve immediately.
Alternate method: make small arepas about the size of a silver dollar and fry in oil until golden brown on both sides.
Serve as bread with a meal. Have butter and cheese available.
Arepas 2from U.S.
Arepas 2
Note: This is a "quick and dirty" way to prepare arepas. They don't exactly taste like the traditional arepa, but they get close enough.
Ingredients
1 cup precooked white corn meal
1 cup water
1 T butter
salt
Bring water to a boil and add it to the corn meal, stirring thoroughly. Add the butter and salt to taste. Form into several flat tortillas (around 3mm thick) and roast over a low charcoal fire or on a wire rack over the burner of the stove. Serve hot with butter and fresh white cheese. You can also top it with tuna salad, chicken, ham and cheese, sauteed tomates and onions, beef.
Arepas 3
from NY, USA
1 cup masarepa/masarica/masaharina
( precooked fine granulated white or yellow cornmeal found at ethnic section of supermarket or ethnic grocers )
1/2 tsp salt
dash black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 large egg
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup or as desired shredded mozzarella cheese
( optional but the cheese adds a nice texture and flavor )
butter, margarine or olive oil to cook
Extra cheese or sour cream as accompaniment
I love arepas ( Hispanic cornmeal griddle cakes ) but prefer a spongier texture so I added egg and some baking powder to the recipe. I serve this for lunch with a salad and a cup of soup.
In a mixing bowl add cornmeal, salt, pepper, baking powder and mix well. Stir in cheese well. With a fork stir in boiling water well, then add egg and continue to mix well with a fork until dough leaves the side of the bowl. Knead dough together with your hands only to form into a ball. Pull off pieces of dough and shape into hamburger like patties, about 3 to 4 inch in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick.
In a nonstick pan or griddle heat some olive oil or butter or combination of both over medium high heat and cook arepas until golden brown on each side, turning once or twice on each side.
Serve arepas hot with extra shredded mozzarella cheese piled over the top or sour cream if desired. Even tomato sauce taste great on them.
Arepas also can be split in half with a sharp knife and made into sandwich filled with cheese and veggies.

Argentinian BBQ Sauce
This is a very traditional recipe from Argentina for BBQ You need to put together:
6 or 7 clove garlic, chopped very fine
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup oregano
1/4 cup red dried pepper (the Italian type)
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
Mix the ingredients in the above order and then (when it cools) to put in a closed jar (an empty mayonnaise jar is perfect for that) and store in the refrigerator for at least 12 hrs. It's perfect if you prepare the recipe one or two days before the BBQ !! It can be stored in the refrigerator for 10 or 15 days. You can put on the meat or on the chicken before cooking (where the flavor is stronger) or you can put the sauce on the meat after cooking.

Armenian Meat PiesArmenian Meat Pies (Lehmejun)
Meat pie filling :
1 pound finely ground lean beef
1 14-oz can whole tomatoes, drained and crushed
1/2 medium yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 medium green bell pepper, cored and finely chopped
1 tsp. peeled and minced garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 Tbs. finely chopped fresh mint leaves
1 Tbs. tomato paste
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Pinch cayenne pepper
Mix all together and set aside.
The Dough:
1 pkg. quick-rising yeast
1 cup warm water (about 105 degrees F)
1 Tbs. olive oil
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Dissolve the yeast in the water in the bowl of an electric mixer. Stir in the olive oil, sugar, salt, and 1-1/2 cups of the flour. Mix the dough for about 5 minutes, until smooth. Knead in the remaining 1-1/4 cups of the flour, using the dough hook, and knead until smooth. If you do not have a powerful machine, such as a Kitchen Aid, then you should knead in this last bit of flour by hand. Knead until the dough is very smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes by machine, 20 minutes by hand.
Place the dough on a plastic counter and cover with a large stainless steel bowl. Allow to double in bulk, about 1-1/2 hours.
Punch the dough down and shape into 12 balls. Use 4 balls at a time, placing the remaining balls in the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 6- or 7-inch circle. Do not roll too thin.
Arrange circles on two large, lightly greased baking sheets. Allow the dough to rise slightly. Cover the entire surface with a thin layer of the meat mixture, spreading it to about 1/4 inch from the edge. Bake at 375 degrees F about 25 to 35 minutes. Do the same with the remaining balls.

Artichoke Spinach Swirls1 package (17.3 ounces or 500 grams) puff pastry sheets
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes or until they are easy to handle. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stir the mayonnaise, cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, spinach and artichokes in a small bowl until the ingredients are mixed.
Unfold one pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. With the short side facing you, spread half the spinach mixture on the pastry to within an inch of the edges. Starting at the short sides, roll up like a jelly roll. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet and spinach mixture.
Cut each roll into 20 slices about 1/2-inch thick. Place two inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from the baking sheet and cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature
Note: I have also done this recipe using white bread instead of puff pastry. Remove crusts and roll the slice flat with a rolling pin, spread on the filling and then roll up in a cigar shape, brush with butter and then bake till golden.

Asian-style Pasta 2Dave, made this to go with the Fish with Thai sauce recipe (I made Tofu with Thai sauce, since we had the tapenade salmon yesterday!) It was a nice balance of the sweet tofu and savory noodles.
Asian Style Pasta
1 lb pasta ( may be Asian rice or wheat noodles or even a whole wheat variety ) cooked
fresh minced ginger
fresh minced garlic
Asian toasted sesame seed oil
Light soy sauce ( opposed to dark soy sauce )
fresh chopped cilantro to garnish
Drain cooked pasta well , rinse in hot water only if sticky and drain again. Place pasta in a bowl and add several tablespoons each of the sesame seed oil and soy sauce. Add fresh minced ginger and garlic to taste. Toss all well. Place in bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro . Serve as a side with an Asian style chicken, fish , beef or tofu recipe.
Note: no salt is needed since soy sauce is fairly salty on its own. I also decorated the noodles with a ripe avocado sliced in a fan shape.
Yield 6 to 8 servings.

1 large red frying pepper, coarse diced

1/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
splashes of light soy sauce
1/2 cup unsalted cashews
chopped coriander

I made this put together meal one evening and it was so good we now serve it for company. The sweet chili sauce has a bit of sweet, hot and spiciness to it and it paired well with the light flavored soy sauce.
Drain tofu well and slice on the vertically into finger size thickness. Place tofu in bowl and cover with the chili sauce.
In heavy duty pan or wok over medium high heat, heat oil and cook all the vegetables except the garlic until fork tender and then add the garlic and cook and stir a minute or so.
Add the tofu with the chili sauce and cook and stir to heat well. Add splashes of the soy sauce. Lastly add the cashews and cook and stir a few more minutes. Serve with steamed white or brown rice and garnish with chopped coriander if desired.

Asparagus and Mushroom QuicheQuiche Pastry or use your own recipe
3 cups flour
4 1/2 ounces butter, chilled
2 1/2 ounces shortening, chilled
6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
Quiche Custard:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 eggs, well blended
dash each of salt and pepper
Quiche Filling:
1 pound asparagus cleaned, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch lengths
1/3 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons thyme, crushed
6 ounces Swiss cheese, grated
3 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
This is a standard but delicious quiche recipe.
Pastry:
Measure the flour and put into the bowl of a food processor. Add small pieces of butter and shortening. Blend by hitting pulse button on the machine once every few seconds until it resembles coarse meal. Add water and let continue to process until the mixture rolls into a ball (about 1 minute). The pastry can be rolled into a crust immediately. A pan with a removable bottom is preferred, but not necessary. Use a 10-inch pan. Place parchment paper on the bottom of the quiche shell. Use pie weights or pinto beans sprinkled over the paper to keep the shell from rising. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 15-18 minutes. If the shell is transparent on the bottom, it is not done. Bake until the shell is no longer transparent. Cool and remove the weights.
Custard:
Blend all custard ingredients well and set aside.
Filling:
Heat the olive oil in a saut� pan; add the asparagus, mushrooms, onions and garlic. Cook on high heat for 3-5 minutes, turning frequently to keep from burning. Add the thyme and stir well. Remove from the heat and cool. Once cooled, combine the asparagus mixture with the grated cheeses; mix well.
To assemble and bake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the quiche filling and custard together and pour carefully into the crust. Leave approximately 1/4-inch rim at the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Check for doneness by moving the pan. If the filling "wiggles", bake another 5 minutes until set. When done, let cool to warm for easier slicing.
Yield: 6 servings. Accompany with a good salad.

Aunt Jane's Ice Cream
Ingredients:
2- 1/4 Cups Sugar
6 Eggs, well beaten
2 Quarts Half and Half Cream
1 Pint Whipping Cream
4-1/2 tsp. Vanilla
Dash Lemon Flavoring
Method:
Mix the above ingredients very well. Pour into an ice cream freezer (we still use the hand cranked kind) If there is still room in the ice cream container, fill almost to the top with whole milk. Be careful, though, as the ice cream swells as it freezes. We usually serve this ice cream with a freshly baked angel food cake and sliced strawberries. A perfect end to a summer evening meal!

2 tb Sherry
1 ts Orange Zest (grated)

Dip skewered prawns in the orange sauce and position on oiled grill rack about 4 inches above the coals. Baste liberally with sauce and grill for 2 minutes. Turn the prawn over and baste again, cooking for another 2 minutes. Smaller prawn will be done at this point, but continue basting and turning larger prawn until they are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat immediately when done, as they will get tough of overcooked. Use any remaining sauce for a dip for the prawns.

few sprigs of fresh thyme or
1/2 level teaspoon dried thyme
1 stick celery, finely chopped
3 tablespoons plain flour

Fry over a low heat until the onion is soft. Add the chopped steak and finely chopped kidney. Pour in water and season with salt, pepper and thyme. Cover and simmer gently for about 1 1/2 hours.
Smooth out the flour with a little extra cold water, then stir this into the meat. Stire over the heat until thick. Pour into a deep pie dish of 2 litre (8 cups) capacity. If you own a pie funnel, place in the centre of the meat (you could substitute an upturned egg cup). Roll out the pastry, cut a few strips for a collar. Place these on the wet rim of the pie dish and brush with milk or beaten egg. Lift remaining pastry onto a rolling pin and place on top of the pie. Trim edges with a knife. Press edges together with a fork to seal. Make a few steam holes. Glaze with beaten egg or milk and bake in a hot oven for 30-40 minutes.

1 Tbsp Firm packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla
This Australian recipe, a very moist cake, not what we'd call a pudding, has taken Down Under by storm. you'll find it on restaurant and dinner party menus across that country. This version was printed recently by the New York times.
TO PREPARE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round baking pan with sides at least 2 inches high, such as a springform pan.
Place the dates in a saucepan and cover with water (about 1-1/2 cups).
Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Add the baking soda (the mixture will foam) and set aside.
In a bowl, cream the cut up butter, sugar and eggs, adding the eggs one at a time. Gently mix in the flour, salt and vanilla. Slowly stir in the baking powder and 1/4 cup of the liquid from cooking the dates, until the cake mixture resembles thick pancake batter. Drain off remainder of date cooking liquid and discard. Stir in the dates.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until cooked in the center.
TO PREPARE CARAMEL SAUCE: Combine the butter, whipping cream, brown sugar and vanilla. Bring to a boil; reduce to simmer, and cook for 3 minutes.
TO SERVE: Drizzle some of the sauce over the cake as it is cooling.
Serve the rest of the sauce separately.

Austrian Sweet Cheese Crepes Baked In Custard
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : December 1994
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
***FOR FILLING***
1/2 cup dried currants
1 cup boiling-hot water
two -- (8-ounce) packages
-- cream cheese,
-- softened
1/2 cup apricot jam
2 large eggs -- separated
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup granulated sugar
25 Austrian crepes -- about
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup milk
confectioners' sugar for dusting
Accompaniment: apricot caramel sauce
Make filling:
In a small heatproof bowl plump currants in boiling-hot water 15 minutes
and drain. Pat currants dry between paper towels. In a food processor
or in a bowl with an electric mixer blend together well cream cheese,
jam, yolks, zest, and vanilla. In a bowl with an electric mixer
(beaters cleaned if necessary) beat whites with a pinch of salt until
they hold soft peaks. Add sugar to whites and beat meringue until it
holds stiff peaks. Fold cheese mixture into meringue gently but
thoroughly and fold in currants.
Preheat oven to 400F. and lightly butter a 14-inch-long oval gratin
dish or other 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.
Working with 1 crepe at a time, spread 2 generous tablespoons filling on
each crepe, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around, and roll up crepes
jelly-roll fashion. With a sharp knife cut crepes on a diagonal in half
and arrange, overlapping slightly, in layers in baking dish. Crepes may
be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Bring
crepes to at room temperature before proceeding.
In a small bowl whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and milk and pour
over crepes, letting custard seep between layers. Bake crepes in middle
of oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until puffed and custard is set, and cool
to warm.
Dust crepes with confectioners' sugar and serve with apricot caramel
sauce.

Authentic Bulgogifrom Tipperary, Ireland
3 pounds of beef, sliced (use very tender cut of beef, like top round)
1/2 cup of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 tablespoon of sesame seed
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder
3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, brown sugar, or honey (any one of the three)
5 green onions, sliced (stems and all)
First slice the Roast Beef (in raw form) 1/8th of an inch thick. Once sliced then cut into little bite size chunks...
Next place all the ingredients above in a large bowl and mix with large utensil until sugar is disolved.
Add a 1/2 a cup of water to your mix, stir and let set for at least 3 hours or overnight.... This will give the meat a chance to soak in the juices.
Last but not least, place your batch of Bulgogi in a pot and cook it at a medium temperature until meat has a nice, dark brown exterior. Do not use any kind of oil in your pot. The ingredients you mixed above will do just fine....
If you would like your mix a little sweeter, add a little more sugar... If you prefer a saltier taste add some more soy sauce....
Autumn Pear Pie
from NY, US
Yield: 8 servings
6 to 8 large ripe (not too soft but sweet) pears- use a few varieties for flavor and texture
1/2 cup sugar ( white or brown )
1/4 cup flour
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp each cloves and nutmeg
1 Tbs butter
double crust pastry for 9 inch pie
sugar and a bit of nutmeg to sprinkle over crust
Pear pies are very subtle and delicate in flavor with a texture like apple pie. Either served warm or well chilled along with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, it surprises people how wonderful pears can be in pie. The recipe is a adaptation of several which I tailored to my liking and won me a prize at a local pie contest.
Peel pare, core, pears and slice thickly in wedges as one would do if using apples In a bowl mix flour, sugar, spices and blend well
Sprinkle on lemon juice onto pears and mix in the flour-sugar with pears Line a 9 inch pan with favorite pastry, add pears, and dot with the butter Add top crust and slash deeply here and there
Sprinkle with a bit of sugar and grated nutmeg or cinnamon.
Bake 400F for 10 minute and then lower heat to 350F and bake 50 minutes more until juices bubble through crust and pears tender.
Cool completely.
Either serve warm or well-chilled.
Whipped cream or ice cream really go well with this pie.
Use some vanilla and omit the lemon!

2 avocados/big ones
as much precooked and cooled black quinoa as you like per person
approx 100 g feta cheese
100 g walnuts
7 or so cherry tomatoes

Avocado Cream Dressing
AVOCADO CREAM DRESSING

1 (3 oz.) pkg cream cheese, softened
1/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp vinegar
1/4 cup salad oil (olive oil preferred)
Mash avocado using hand or electric mixer. Beat in cream cheese til
smooth.
Beat in salt, vinegar and oil.
Serve over tomatoes, shrimp salad. Can be used for a dip. You can
also add either grated onion or garlic powder. Try adding some fine
chopped cilantro!!
Avocado Ice CreamOK. First there is a recipe from Brazil in Barbara Karoff's paper back on latin american cuisine.
Now here is a redaction of my own:
Yield: a bit more than 1 pt.
1 pint creme anglaise made this way:
1 pt. half and half (1 cup milk + 1 cup cream)
1/2 cup sugar
Heat to a simmer. In a bowl, whisk:
3 yolks
Mix 1/3 of the hot liquid with the yolks, whisking. This warms the yolks. Now whisk the yolk mixture back into the hot liquid OFF THE FLAME. Let cool.
When cool, add flavoring:
1/4 cup dark rum
2 ripe Haas avocadoes, pureed
juice and zest of one lime.
Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
As you can see, this recipe is constructed so that it is easy to add any flavoring to the basic custard. Where it asks to add flavoring, try:
Balsamic vinegar : Add 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. (nutty and vanilla like, but slightly tangier. No one will even guess)
Cognac: Add 1/3 cup cognac
Passionfruit: add 1/4 cup passionfruit puree.
Get the picture? INDULGE and then go out and run!

Baked Custard
Preheat oven to 300 F.
Blend together
2 cups milk
1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar or honey
1/8 tsp. salt
Add and beat well:
2 whole eggs or 4 egg yolks
(the greater the proportion of yolk, the tenderer the custard will be;
egg whites stiffen it.)
Add 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Beat well and pour into custard cups.
Dust w/nutmeg
Place the molds in a pan of hot water on a rack.
Bake 20 to 30 minutes (to test for doneness, insert a knife near the edge of the cup. If the blade comes out clean, the custard will be solid all the way through when it is cooled.)

Baked Egg Rolls
BAKED EGG ROLLS
These can be made with or without meat. They have a different texture than fried egg rolls but it's worth it because I hate greasy egg deep frying is SO messy. These were still pretty crispy!
2 tablespoons soys sauce
1 teaspoon corn starch
4 cups finely shredded napa, chinese or regular white cabbage
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1 medium or large carrot finely grated (about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons finely sliced green onions
2-4 cloves finely chopped garlic, divided
1/2 lb. ground turkey or hamburger (optional--replace with about 1 cup mixture of mushrooms, more cabbage, bean sprouts and/or carrots)
2 teaspoons grated ginger root
1 lb. egg roll skins (14-16) found in produce section of grocery store
Mix soy sauce with corn starch. Set aside.
Spray non-stick skillet or wok with nonstick cooking spray or heat one tablespoon cooking oil. Over high heat stir-fry 1-2 cloves garlic and ginger for a few seconds. Add cabbage, bean sprouts, carrot and green onions. Stir fry a few minutes until cabbage is wilted. If cooking meat, remove vegetables from pan.
Add remaining 1-2 cloves garlic. Add ground turkey or hamburger. Stir fry
until no longer pink. Drain off any fat.
Add reserved soy sauce/corn starch and the vegetables. Cook 1 minute or so until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool a little.
TO MAKE EGG ROLLS:
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Turn eggroll skin so it looks like a diamond. Place 1/4 cup filling just below the center. Fold the lower point of the diamond over the filling tucking it under the filling. Fold the left and right corners over that. Tightly roll the egg roll. Moisten the top corner with a bit of water to prevent it from unrolling. VOILA! Repeat til you run out of skins or filling. (Note: Keep the eggroll skins in their wrapper or cover with a moist towel so they don't dry out.) Should make at least 14 egg rolls.
Place eggrolls seam side down on the pan. They can be close together but not
touching. Lightly spray the egg rolls with the nonstick cooking spray. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Enjoy!

Baked Fun Stuffed Bluefish
I currently live in the South Eastern part of the United States.
I learned this one working in a Seafood Restaurant. Bluefish is a
good sized, (5 to 15 lbs.)salt water fish. Any large oily fish could be
used (bass, roughy or even shark) with good results.
Baked Fun Stuffed Bluefish
(2) large fillets of bluefish (or any other oily fish)
(2) tubes of "Ritz" brand crackers
(1) cup of unseasoned dried bread crumbs
(1/4) cup of melted butter
(1/4 to 1/2) cup of Rhine wine (Liebfraumilch or other) to wet stuffing
Combine the crackers, bread crumbs, salt and pepper in a large plastic bag.
Beat the crackers (this is the fun part) until they become consistent
crumbs. Slowly add melted butter to the mixture, and then the wine. Do Not
get too moist. The mixture should be damp, but should fall apart after
squeezing it.
Heat oven to 350 F degrees. Arrange one fillet in bottom of glass baking
dish. Cover with stuffing mixture and add second fillet on top.
Bake until fish is flaky, sometime between 45 minutes and an hour.
Let me know what you think.

Baked Potato Soupfrom New Jersey, USA
Baked Potato Soup
This past New Year's Eve day I was with a few friends in New York City. One of the first things we did when we got there was eat at Houlihan's Bar and Restaurant at the train station. One of the soups they served there was "Baked Potato Soup" which most of us ordered and those who did enjoyed it! So, I did some searching on the internet and was lucky enough to find a similar recipe at http://www.cafecreosote.com . The following is the regular version of the soup -- a lighter version is available by clicking here.
4 large baking potatoes
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup flour
1 1/2 quarts milk
1 cup sour cream
4 green onions, chopped
5 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
salt and pepper
2 cups bacon, crisped and cooked
Heat oven to 450F degrees and bake the potatoes until fork tender (1 hour). Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Slowly blend in flour with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended, making a roux. Gradually add milk to the butter-flour mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in salt and pepper and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly.
Cut potatoes in half, scoop out the meat and set aside. Chop half the potato peels and discard the remainder. When milk mixture is very hot, whisk in potato. Add green onion sand potato peels. Whisk well, add sour cream. Heat thoroughly. Add cheese a little at a time until all is melted in. Serve. Top with crumbled bacon. Serves 6.

1 lb. any squash (winter or summer; zucchini, butternut, pattypan, even
pumpkin)
2 T olive oil
1 t dried oregano
1 t dried rosemary, crushed
1 t pepper (or to taste)
1 t salt (or to taste)
1/3 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
If using acorn or pumpkin squash, peel. Squash with edible skin should
be left unpeeled.
Wash squash and discard seeds and strings. Cut into uniform pieces; one
and a half-inch chunks for a round squash, or long wedges for zucchini.
Oil an ovenproof baking pan lightly and put the squash in it, skin side
down.
Sprinkle the squash with the olive oil and then with the dried herbs,
pepper and salt, and Parmesan. Put in oven and bake until pieces are
soft in the middle (about half an hour for zucchini).
This is good with any Italian meal; we often have it with pork roast or
chops.

Combine quahogs, their juices, onions, celery, pepper, garlic powder and parsley. Add enough of the bread to create the desired consistency. It should be a little moist. If you add too much bread, moisten it with a little water. Stuff shells. Bake on baking sheet at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Put a little paprika and additional chopped parsley on top after cooking.

Baklava 2
from Charleston, South Carolina
Hardware
Big cookie sheet with a solid raised edge (14" x 22" or larger would be ideal, but you can use 14" x 11").
Brush (or brushes, if you have help) for buttering the sheets of filo dough.
Filo Dough
The Filo Dough I use is "Fillo" brand--it's at Publix. It's a one-pound package, frozen. It consists of 20 sheets--each sheet is 14x22 inches; the finished sheet of baklava is 14" x 11" inches. It needs to be thawed at least five hours before you make the Baklava; keep that in mind.
Nut Filling
1 lb roasted, unsalted walnuts, coarsley chopped or ground.
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 tsp ground cloves
Since the chopped walnuts I buy are pretty big pieces, I stick the walnuts in a blender and chop them up--leaving some big pieces around, but mostly chopped pretty fine. I have to put them in the blender in 1/4 lb batches to get them to chop right at all. Then I hand mix the nuts and all the other ingredients in a bowl.
Syrup
1 cup honey (I use orange blossom honey, and recommend it highly)
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbl lemon juice
2 small pieces of lemon peel
1 inch piece of cinnamon stick.
Combine all of the above in a saucepan, and let simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool. Discard peels and cinnamon stick.
Assembly
Parts List:
1 lb filo dough
3/4 lb butter
Nut Filling (above)
Syrup (above)
Melt the butter. Unwrap the filo dough--fold it in half, like the pages of a book (the Fillo brand comes like this already). Turn down one "page" of filo dough onto the cookie sheet and brush it with butter (careful, the pages are delicate stuff; if they tear a little, it'll still be fine, really). Keep the rest of the pages covered with wax paper (comes in the package), plastic wrap, or a dry kitchen towel while you butter the turned down page. Continue turning down pages and buttering them until 1/3 have been used (13 pages or so for the 20-sheet filo dough; since it's folded, you really have 40 pages). Once you have 1/3 buttered, cover the top of the buttered pages with half of the nut filling. Then turn down and butter another 1/3 of the pages. Once that second 1/3 is buttered, put the rest of the nut filling on top of them. Continue turning over pages and buttering them until they're all turned over, buttered, and lying on top of the stack. With a sharp knife, score the pastry into diamonds, squares, and rectangles. I find having two people butter the baklava makes things go a lot faster (it can easily take a couple of hours by yourself).
Baker at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until puffed, crisp, and deep golden-brown. Remove from oven and immediately pour cooled syrup over the baklava (this is why you need a solid raised edge on your cookie sheet). You're supposed to let it stand four hours, but nobody does this. When cool, cut through to the bottom layer on those scored cuts.
Enjoy! Diet food, it isn't.

Bambachkis
These are always a big hit at my Canadian aunt's dinner parties.
BAMBACHKIS - (Emphasis on the first syllable)
1 egg
12 oz package semi-sweet chocolate bits
1 cup icing sugar
roasted almonds
marachino cherries
crushed almonds
cocoa
Toasted coconut
Melt chocolate. Stir till mixed and melted. Break egg into pot. Stir with
spatula till mixed. Add sugar slowly stirring. When thick, roll chocolate
into small balls large enough to accomodate an almond and a cherry in the
center of each chocolate ball. Roll in crushed nuts, cocoa or roasted cocunut.
NOTE: If you use a larger egg, you may need to alter the amount of icing
sugar. Play it by ear to see. Also if the chocolate mixture appears to be
thick enough and you still have sugar left - quit.
To keep working quickly - have bowls of cherries, almonds, cocoa and coconut
ready. You can keep a bowl of ice water ready to dip hands into so
chocolate didn't melt when working with it.

Banana Bread 2
This recipe was from an unknown source. I modified it by changing the 1/2
cup margarine to 1/2 cup applesauce because applesauce is less fat than
margarine. I also doubled all the spices and used egg whites instead of
eggs. Since this recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups flour it can be made in a
variety of pans.

Banana French Toast
from NY, USA
4 thick slices day old Italian, French or egg bread
1 very ripe banana ( brown )
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbs. sugar
1/4 cup milk or as needed
oil to fry
Powdered sugar ( optional )
I used to make this when my girls were little but its a nice recipe for brunch or company fare.
It's also a good way to use leftover bananas
This recipe tastes best when prepared with bread other than the store bought thin white bread.
In a blender place banana, flour, sugar and vanilla. Blend smooth and via feed tube add enough milk to make a batter consistency. Dip both sides of the bread in the batter to coat evenly. Fry in hot oil or butter, turning once to brown each side nicely. Watch carefully as this tends to burn easily. Drain on paper toweling and serve immediately. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serves 2. Multiply recipe as needed.
Banana Fritters Title: Banana Fritters (Indonesian)
Categories: Pastries, Filo
Yield: 4 servings
THE ART OF FILO COOKBOOK
Use Short Roll
1/4 lb Filo
Light vegetable oil - for deep frying
FOR BRUSHING FILO
Butter, melted
1 Egg, beaten
FILLING
2 Medium-ripe bananas
TOPPING
Sugar and cinnamon mixed together
Freshly whipped cream
TO ASSEMBLE
Cut the bananas in half crosswise for the filling.
Follow the folding instructions for the Short Roll. Use your finger to seal the edge of the filo with a little of the beaten egg. This prevents the fritters from coming open when they are deep-fried.
Gently place the fritters in very hot oil, a few at a time, and deep-fry on both sides until golden brown.
Remove and drain excess oil on a towel. Sprinkle the fritters with the sugar and cinnamon mix. Serve immediately with the freshly whipped cream.
Banana Fudge
BANANA FUDGE
2 cup white sugar 1/3 cup milk

dissolved. Add milk and bananas. Cook until small amount of mixture forms
a small ball in cold water.(temperature on candy thermometer unknown)
Remove from heat. Add butter. Cook quickly by setting the pan in cold
water. When luke-warm, beat mixture until creamy. Pour mixture into
slightly greased pan. Chill until firm. Cut into squares and serve.

3 lbs lean ground beef
2 eggs
2 large ripe bananas mashed
1 small onion finely grated
2 tsp salt or to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper

Bananas are my secret for a most flavorful meatloaf:
Combine all ingredients and pack into a large loaf pan or a 9 inch square pan. Bake 350F about one hour. Pour off any liquid that accumulates in the pan. Serve as you would any meatloaf-hot or cold. When cold the meat slices well and the bananas keep the meat moist plus add a nice subtle flavor.Serves 8 ...

Twice-fried Plaintain Slices
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 medium-size green plantains, peeled, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
2 cups salted water
In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium until a light haze forms above it. Add as many plantain slices as you can without crowding the pan, and brown about 2 minutes on each side.
As they brown, transfer them to paper towels to drain.
On a cutting board, use a spatula to press each slice into a flat round about 1/4-inch thick and 2 inches in diameter. Dip the rounds in salted water and shake off the excess. Heat the oil and fry the rounds again, about 1 minute on each side. Drain on paper towels and serve at once.

Barbecue Sauce
Since it looks like we're going to see some flaming here for a while, I figure we might as well take advantage of it and do some barbecuing. Found this one somewhere in the Mysterious Web (mysterious to me, at any rate) and I think it should be just about right for the occasion.....

BARBECUE SAUCE (CHEF PAUL PRUDHOMME)
Serving Size : 5
Categories : Cajun Sauces
-----SEASONING MIX-----
1 1/2 ts Black pepper
1 t Salt
1 t Onion powder
1 t Garlic powder
1/2 ts White pepper
1/2 ts Ground cayenne pepper
-----MAIN INGREDIENTS-----
1/2 lb Bacon, minced
1 1/2 c Chopped onions
2 c Pork, beef or chicken stock
1 1/2 c Bottled chili sauce
1 c Honey
3/4 c Dry roasted pecans, chopped
5 tb Orange juice (1/2 orange)
1 x Rind & pulp from 1/2 orange
2 tb Lemon juice (1/4 lemon)
1 x Rind & pulp from 1/4 lemon
2 tb Minced garlic
1 t Tabasco sauce
4 tb Unsalted butter
Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. In a 2-quart saucepan fry the bacon over high heat until crisp. Stir in onions, cover pan, and continue cooking until onions are dark brown, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the seasoning mix and cook about 1 minute. Add the stock, chili sauce, honey, pecans, orange juice, lemon juice, orange and lemon rinds and pulp, garlic, and Tobasco, stirring well. Reduce heat to low; continue cooking about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove orange and lemon rinds. Continue cooking and stirring about 15 minutes more to let the flavors marry. Add the butter and stir until melted.
Remove from heat; let cool about 30 minutes, then pour into a food processor or blender and process until pecans and bacon are finely chopped. This sauce may be used to barbecue chicken, pork or ribs. Makes about 5 cups.
Barbecue Tempeh
I have no idea what this should be called. My wife made it by experimenting trying to reproduce something she had somewhere. It was so good I asked her for the recipe. She had to guess at it because she actually made it by experimentation and guestimating. We both *almost always* cook that way. (Okay, "vegan" is an all or none thing, like being "saved", but some absolutes do get modified in common usage. BTW, this dish is strictly vegan, as far as I know.) All quantities are approximate and may be varied according to taste.
For sautéing:
2 medium onions, chopped
1/4 (or more) teaspoons cumin (ground, though seeds might be an interesting variation)
salt
black pepper
oil
10 oz. tempeh
For sauce:
1/2 cup peanut butter (this is a rough estimate)
1/4 cup cain syrup
1/2 cup catsup
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup barbeque sauce
1/4 teaspoon fresh chili paste (e.g. "Sambal Oelek", see comments)
1. Start by sauteing onions in oil with cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Add tempeh, cut into big bite sized pieces.
3. Continue until onions are done and tempeh is brown.
4. In a separate container mix sauce ingredients. The sauce should be thick.
5. Add sauce to frying pan or wok and simmer about 10 minutes.
Comments: The chili paste is the kind found in oriental groceries, made from red chilis and quite hot. "Sambal Oelek" may be a brand name. If you find the real thing and you don't have an asbestos tounge be careful. A little goes a long way. Its main function in this dish it to make it spicey hot. Cayenne pepper might work as a substitute. (Adjust amout accordingly.)
A mild flavored peanut butter with chunks of peanuts would be best. The peanut butter is used as a base. Its flavor is effectively masked by the other ingredients.
Barbecue-style Tofu1 container extra firm tofu
marinade:
1/3 cup oil ( olive )
3 Tbs creamy peanut butter
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs paprika ( smoked paprika is good here too , but use much less ! )
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
Your favorite barbecue sauce, bottled or home made
Or
Mayonnaise
This is very tasty and if you enjoy tofu I hope you will like this as much as I do.
Remove tofu from carton and drain very well. Slice tofu into finger thick slices. Combine marinade ingredients well with whisk and coat tofu evenly and let stand at room temperature one hour. Lay tofu slices with marinade on a baking pan and bake 400F for about 20 minutes and carefully turn over and bake another 20 minutes , so each side is somewhat browned. Remove pan from oven, spread on your favorite barbecue sauce and heat through 5 to 10 minutes in the oven.
Yield: 4 servings
Note: I personally like to smear mayonnaise over the tofu when it comes out of the oven. The tofu is firm on the outside with a creamy center

Barm BrackBarm Brack
I have TWO derivations of this name and have NO idea which is correct:
1. In Northern Ireland and in the Republic, brack is the Celtic word for salt and is used to mean "bread". Barm brack is leavened bread, the word, barm meaning yeast.
2. The term barmbrack for an Irish fruit loaf or cake does not derive from barm or leaven. It is a corruption of the Irish word aran breac (Speckled Bread).
If anyone can straighten out which definition is correct, please let me know. I also read that the Irish traditional serve barmbrak at Halloween with the ring, silver coin and a button baked inside (the button signifying "single blessedness" whatever that might be). Frankly, I doubt all of these "bake it inside" stories...if they were true, Irish dentists would ALWAYS be busy on the day after Halloween, because alot of Irish folk would have broken teeth after having coins and rings stuck in every item on the table!
Barmbrak
2 1/2 cups mixed dry fruit (currants, dark and golden raisins)
1 cup boiling black tea
1 egg
1 tsp. mixed spice (equal amounts of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allpice, and mace)
4 tsp. marmalade
1 heaping cup superfine granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
Place the dried fruit in a bowl, cover with the hot tea and let soak overnight. The next day, add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Pour the batter into a greased 7" square pan and bake in the center of the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Slice and serve buttered with tea.

Clear Beetroot Soup - Poland
The following is the simple modern way:
Take 1 quart bottle (1 liter) of prepared Jewish Borscht (Manishewitsch or similar), Pour into saucepan and mix with contents of 10½oz. (300g) can of Beef Consommé, bring to a boil and immediately turn off heat. Taste and, if desired, to reduce acidity, add 1 teaspoon sugar; to increase acidity add 1 teaspoon vinegar. Pour on to plates in which uszka have already been placed. Use 4 to 6 uszka per plate. Above quantity is sufficient for 6 servings.
Here is the old-fashioned traditional way:
A few weeks ahead of time, prepare fermented beetroot juice, as follows:
2¼ pounds (1kg.) fresh, sweet beetroots,
2 quarts (2L) boiled water,
1 piece of rye bread crust
Wash and scrape the beetroots, cut into thin slices, place in large jar.
Pour boiled water into jar, throw in bread crust, leave jar open or covered only with thin gauze and place in warm place.
On Christmas Eve, prepare soup as follows:
2 large sweet beetroots,
1 celery cut in small pieces,
1 onion cut into small pieces,
1 lb (450g) mushrooms,
1 lb (450g). butter,
1 teaspoon salt,
1 piece garlic,
some parsley,
Boil in water until beetroot just becomes soft.
Then, pour into another saucepan through sieve. Retrieve beetroots and mushrooms.
Mushrooms may be used for making uszka.
Beetroots are grated fine and returned to the soup.
Shortly before serving, Add 1 pint (½L) of fermented beetroot juice. Keep hot, but do not allow to boil as this will destroy clear red color, serve in plates over uszka.
NOTE. On other occasions than Christmas Eve, Barszcz may be served with cream as follows: Take 2 tablespoons of Beetroot soup (made either way), mix completely with 2 tablespoons of sour cream, then add to soup and stir thoroughly.

Basic Beet Borscht
from New York, USA
1 bunch beets ( about 4 medium )
5 cups water
1 tsp citric acid ( sour salt )
Fresh lemon juice or white vinegar
white granulated sugar
powdered chicken bouillon to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Sour cream
Hot boiled potato
Chopped chives
Cut stems/leaves off beets but leave on skins and cover with water ( add a splash of vinegar so beets remain red ) and cook about an hour until tender. Drain and peel off skins ( slips off easily ) under running cold water. Coarse shred beets by hand into a soup pot. Cover with the 5 cups of water. Add citric acid, vinegar ( or lemon juice ) along with sugar to make a sweet and sour taste as desired. Add a bit of powdered chicken bouillon if desired.
Normally equal quantities of sweet and sour OR 1 part sugar to 1/2 part sour should give the desired taste you want.
Heat and stir to dissolve sugar and let soup simmer a few minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat and cool and chill well.
To serve one may stir in some sour cream into the soup ( it becomes a vivid pink!!) or just dollop sour cream onto individual portions.
Sometimes a hot boiled potato is placed into the cold soup too. Either way, sprinkle with chives. Serves 4 to 6.

Recipe By : The Best Of Family Circle Cookbook
Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:15
Categories : Breakfast
1 tsp olive oil
6 egg whites -- whipped
1 tbsp water
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Heat oil over high heat in a skillet with a rounded bottom and sloping sides. In a mixing bowl, whip egg whites, water, salt, and black pepper together, using a fork. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook over moderately high heat until the bottom is set. Using a heatproof spatula, move the cooked mixture to the center and allow the uncooked mixture to flow into the bottom of the pan. When cooked, the omelet should be barely brown on the bottom, soft and moist in the center. Spoon the filling down the center of the omelet (*see note). Using a spatula and starting from the handle side, fold one third of the omelet over the center. With a heated serving plate in one hand, grasp the skillet in the other, palm up and tilt so the omelet rolls over onto the plate.

Basic Phyllo Doughfrom US
This is definitely easier to buy but there are those of us who like to try anything once!
1/4 cup water
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sift the flour with the salt. Make a well in the middle of the flour. In the well put the water and the olive oil. Work the dough until it hangs well together. Dust flour on a table or board. Kneed the dough for about 5-7 minutes. The dough should be smooth and not stick to the board. Roll the dough out to a big rectangle. Lay a damp towel over it and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Flour your hands and work the dough from the middle outwards until you have the dough stretched to about 3 ft by 3 ft (1meter x 1meter) Cut the dough with a sharp knife or pizza cutter to the desired sheet size. Continue with the recipe that requires the phyllo dough.
Basic Roast Goose
from Chicago, IL
Most wild foul are greasy if not prepared correctly. The preparation consists of three steps. The first step in cooking is the degrease and brown step. The second step is the stuff step. The third step is the cook step.
One fresh or completely thawed goose.
Orange Juice and Honey basting sauce (Approx 1 cup OJ and 1/4 cup honey or to taste)
Dried fruit or fruit and wild rice stuffing. (You can completely stuff the goose with dried fruit including appricots, raisins prunes, etc or make any other rice and fruit stuffing.
Take a fresh or completely thawed goose. Puncture many holes in the skin. (I used a corn holder.) Puncture both top and bottom of goose.
Preheat oven to 375. Place unstuffed goose in rosting pan with large area for catching grease. Roast approx 45 min to an hour until slightly brown. Watch carefully This is only the first step in cooking so you don't want it to burn. You can optionally turn the goose over to brown both sides.
Remove the goose from the oven. Allow the goose to cool so it can be handled comfortably. Drain the pan. Pat down the goose with paper towels to remove the grease. Pat both inside and outside. Stuff the goose. Baste with the OJ/honey sauce.
Preheat oven to 325 or slightly cooler. Place goose on a roasting pan back in the oven. Cook goose using the rule of about 25 minutes per pound but subtract 45 minutes because of the cooking done in the first step. Rebaste goose while cooking every half hour. It is not necessary to turn the goose over in this step. When done drumsticks should separate fairly easily from the goose. Use same rules for doneness as other poultry.

Basil and Garlic Potato Bakefrom www.IDunno4Recipes.com
2 TBS chopped fresh basil
3 TBS Olive Oil
1/2 tsp pepper
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 lbs. potatoes, sliced with peel
1 can chicken broth
Place sliced potatoes in a 9x13 inch pan. Add chicken broth and other ingredients. Toss well to coat. Bake at 325 for 60-75 min. or until potatoes are tender and liquid is absorbed.
Basil Chicken
>I have fresh basil growing in my garden, and I am looking for recipes that I can use it in. (Especially ones that will focus on its flavor. Vegi. or chicken recipes are prefered.)
Glad to know that someone has fresh basil from their garden! Here's a wonderful way to have it with chicken.
Stew chicken pieces for 20-30 min. with following ingredients, and add a handful of basil leaves (leave the soft stems in) for the last 15 min. Save some leaves for the last minute for color.
- 1 lb chicken (if you don't chop it up, for example, leaving drum sticks as they are, slice a few deap openings)
- water to cover 2/3 of the chicken in your pot/wok
- a few slices of ginger (dried, fresh)
- 1-2 Tbsp dark sesami oil (light sesami oil won't have the flavor)
- 6-8 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2-3 Tbsp sugar (ice cube sugar, brown, red, white...... anything)
- 1-2 Tbsp cooking wine
Turn the chicken a few times in the stewing process.
After chicken is done, if too much sauce remain, thicken by turning up the heat. The sauce is GRRRRREAT on rice.
P.S. If you use a wok, stir fry ginger in sesami oil first, add chicken, stir fry, then, add water and the remaining ingredients.
Good luck!

Basque Roasted Tomato Soup2 pounds large plum tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 small dried chiles, broken, up to 2 or 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 onions, very finely chopped
2 large clove garlic, crushed and peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, preferably spanish
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
28 ounces italian plum tomatoes, well drained and chopped, reserve liquid
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, defatted
salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
8 large shrimp, optional, 1/2 pound
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives or slivered basil leaves
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Lightly oil a large baking sheet with sides or coat it with nonstick spray. Cut fresh tomatoes in half lengthwise. Arrange, cut-side down, in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with sugar. Roast for 3 hours, or until very soft and wrinkled. Let cool and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a dutch oven or soup pot, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil and dried chilies (or crushed red pepper) over medium-low heat. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add paprika and oregano and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add canned tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain soup into a bowl; transfer solids to a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth, adding a little broth if necessary. Return puree and broth to pot. Whisk to combine.
Using a food mill, puree reserved roasted tomatoes. (Alternatively, slip off skins, puree in a food processor and strain through a coarse sieve.) Add puree to soup. (If the soup is too thick, add a little of the reserved canned tomato liquid.) Season with salt and pepper. If using shrimp, cook in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until they just turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and let cool. Peel shrimp and cut in half lengthwise. Ladle into warmed soup bowls and garnish with shrimp, if using, and chives (or basil).
Serve immediately.

BatidosBatidos (Costa Rican Milk shakes)
Ice cubes as needed
Fresh cut up fruit ( ex: pineapple, mango, banana, papaya, coconut )
Milk or water
dash of white or brown sugar if sweeter taste desired
Place some ice cubes in blender with cut up fresh fruit of choice. Use high speed setting to crush ice and fruit and mix until mixture is a thick pulp. Add enough milk or water and whir until mixture is very thick and foamy. Serve in a tall clear ice cream soda type of glass
Bauernbrot1 1/2 ounces compressed fresh yeast
1 quart warm water
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
8 cups white rye flour
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 cups warm water
First, make the sourdough starter. Crumble the yeast into a large bowl. Whisk in 1 quart of warm water and 2 tablespoons of sugar until dissolved. The water should be just slightly warmer than body temperature. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of flour, continuing to mix until all lumps are gone. Cover with a dish towel, and let sit for 24 hours at room temperature.
After 24 hours, stir well, cover, and let stand another 24 hours. It will be a thin, light-colored sourdough which is then ready to use.
In a large bowl, stir together the rye flour, 4 cups of all-purpose flour, salt and sugar. Mix in the sourdough starter using a wooden spoon, then stir in 2 cups of warm water. I transfer the dough to a heavy duty stand mixer to mix the first couple of minutes, then it can't handle the heavy dough and I start using my hands by turning the dough out onto a floured surface. A clean countertop works best. Knead the dough, adding a few tablespoons of water at a time if it is too stiff. Fold the dough over, pull it apart, whatever you can do to get it kneaded up good. Total kneading time should be 15 to 20 minutes to get a smooth dough. Place the dough in a large bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.
When the dough has risen, scrape it out of the bowl and back onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5 minutes. This is important to activate the gluten. Shape into 1 or 2 long loaves. Place on baking sheets, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until your finger leaves an impression when you poke the bread gently.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bake the bread for about 45 minutes for 2 loaves, 1 1/2 hours if you made one big loaf. Don't worry if the crust is dark. The bread will be delicious and so will the crust. Cool completely before cutting.

Being snowbound sometimes brings out the creativity in us all..... I just
happened to plan a dinner of Sauerkraut and sausage one night last week,
only to discover that the smoked sausage had already been cooked and eaten
and there was only 1 can a sauerkraut in the house!
You ask, 'If you're da cook, how'd ya fergit ya cooked it?'
Well, when you live in a household of 4 adults; 3 out of 4 that cook; 2
out of four that work; and sleeping habits that are as varied as the
changing seasons.... Its' simple! Ya digs deeper in da pantry and does with
whatcha got!!!
While this may not be original cuisine in its entirety, it sure was a
first for me:

"SDFAC = Something Different For A Change"
1 pkg. (12 oz) Frozen Hot Dogs - any favorite brand will do
1 can Chili Beans w/meat sauce
2 cans Pork n Beans
1 can (6 oz.) Tomato Paste
1 small onion finely diced
2 TBS. vegetable oil
Dashes and splashes of the following:
Worcestershire Sauce
Liquid Hickory Smoke
Garlic powder
Onion powder
The frozen hot dogs went into the microwave long enough to get a
knife through them to slice lengthwise and then cut crosswise into
small 'cubits' (g)
Heat the oil and toss in the diced onion, simmering till transluscent;
Toss in the dogs and add the cans of beans (minus the cans, silly!)
Heat thoroughly, adding the splashes/dashes of items mentioned above and
then the tomato paste. You may need to add a small amt. of
water if the mixture looks Too thick. But be careful, you really want a
consistency somewhere paralleling that of sloppy joes.
The final product can be tossed over bread, openfaced similar to sloppy
joes; or poured into a bowl and served with crackers ala a 'different' kind
of 'chili'~
As far adding the seasonings and sauce/flavoring without measurements,
this is geared to individual tastes. When it smells good - stop adding stuff!
Surprisingly enough - the concoction, though viewed somewhat skeptically,
was finished off in short order by all on hand.
With wondrous cries of "How did you do that"? and "Can we have it again"?
ringing in my ears I figured I'd best get it down on paper - or floating out
in space as it were, where I could reach out and grab it again in a pinch
for "What's for dinner tonight, honey?"

then the tomato paste. You may need to add a small amt. of
water if the mixture looks Too thick. But be careful, you really want a
consistency somewhere paralleling that of sloppy joes.
The final product can be tossed over bread, openfaced similar to sloppy
joes; or poured into a bowl and served with crackers ala a 'different' kind
of 'chili'~
As far adding the seasonings and sauce/flavoring without measurements,
this is geared to individual tastes. When it smells good - stop adding stuff!
Surprisingly enough - the concoction, though viewed somewhat skeptically,
was finished off in short order by all on hand.
With wondrous cries of "How did you do that"? and "Can we have it again"?
ringing in my ears I figured I'd best get it down on paper - or floating out
in space as it were, where I could reach out and grab it again in a pinch
for "What's for dinner tonight, honey?"

Bearnaise Sauce
This is a recipe for Sauce Bearnaise - I had it on a cruise a few years ago and
can guarantee it is RICH - no shortcuts allowed - but it does wonders for
steak..etc... I tried several until this evolved - and I recommend small
portions because it is sooooo rich - but sooooo good. Great for company...
SAUCE BEARNAISE
Combine: 1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 crushed peppercorns
2 sprigs chopped tarragon (1 tsp. dried tarragon is OK)
1 sprig chervil
2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
1 pinch of parsley
Cook over direct heat until reduced by half. Allow to cool. Then add - SLOWLY
-
3 egg yolks, beaten
3/4 cup melted butter

(My husband puts this over broccoli; my mom over asparagus (YUCK!) - I'll stick
with steak....
I've enjoyed the recipes you have circulated - thanx.

Beef and Asparagus Stir-Fry
Another stir-fry recipe, as requested. This is very good and with
asparagus coming on before long (hope springs eternal...!). It does
require a little time to do the chopping, but produce sections now carry
fresh vegetables already prepared for stir-fry, so it's a snap.
Recipe originally from JoLynn Hill, Roosevelt, Utah
Good eating!

Beef and Mustard Casserole
A yummy stew - falls apart on the fork, easy to make and tender as they come
- also better the next day. We had it two nights ago. We love it!
Original main ingredient was veal, but I found veal dried out too fast so
substituted the stewing meat. We have something called cross-cut blade
steak here, which I use and it's perfect! - Use your equiivalent tender beef.
BEEF AND MUSTARD CASSEROLE
2 LBS tenderest stewing beef - cubed
2 tbsp flour
one ounce clarified butter (I use olive oil)
8 ounces mushrooms sliced
1 cup meat stock
2 tbsp dijon mustard
bunch of fresh herbs tied in a bundle
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 325. Tossed cubed beef in flour. (I put the whole mess into
a plastic bag) Brown in olive oil/butter. Place in a casserole dish. Toss
mushrooms in pan until lightly cooked and add to casserole with combined
meat stock and mustard. Stir. Scrape pan and add to casserole. Add salt and
pepper. Place tied herbs on top of meat
Cover and cook for two hours, stirring once during cooking. Remove herbs
before serving.

source Suzanno Foo Chinese Cuisine
This recipe calls for Fresh Ginger Juice, made by squeezing freshly grated
gingerroot through a piece of cheesecloth or a strainer. The juice has a
delicate yet concentrated taste and is added to the soup at the last minute.
2 quarts beef stock (recipe follows)

to taste. Meanwhile,mix the grated gingerroot with the water. Place a piece
of cheese cloth or fine strainer over a small bowl and pour the ginger-water
mixture onto the cloth or strainer. Gather the ends of the cloth together
with your hand and squeeze the liquid into the bowl or press down on the
ginger with a spoon. repeat a few times, set the ginger juice aside nd save
the giner for use in sautes or discard.
After the stock has reduced, strain it through cheesecloth. return the
stock to the pot, add the tomato and bring to a boil. add the fresh ginger
juice and the pea shoots, add the tomato and bring to a boil. Add the fresh
ginger juice and the pea shoots. remove from the heat. Ladle the soup into

2 tablespoons corn oil
1 large onion, sliced
4 pounds bone-in beef shank, cut into 3 inch pieces or beef short ribs
2 scallions, cut into 2 inch lengths
1/4 cup chopped fresh lemon grass ( I used 1 teaspoon lemon juice)(see note)
6 sprigs fresh cilantro
2 inch piece ginger root ,crushed
3 star anise
1 teaspoon roasted Sichuan peppercorns
1/4 cup brandy
6 quarts water
Heat the oil in a large stock pot and add the onion. Saute over high heat
until soft and lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. add the beef shanks or short
ribs and brown well to sear, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions, lemon juice,
cilantro, gingerroot, star anise and Sichuan peppercorns to the stock pot.
Cook for about 3 minutes to release the flavors. Add the brandy. Cook ,
reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the water.
Increase the heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat
until the liquid is at a simmer and cook, uncovered, for at least 2 1/2
hours, skimming any froth or scum from the surface as the stock cooks.
remove the beef bones from the stock. Strain the stock through a fine
sieve, discard the solids and skim off the fat. The stock will keep in the
refidgerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months
Note: The tough lower green parts of the lemon grass may be used because the
stock will be strained. Chopped leek may be substituted.

Beef Croquettes and Bitter BallsBeef Croquettes and Bitter Balls
2 1/4 cups very finely minced lean beef
1 carrot, chopped finely
1 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
8 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups margarine
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. white pepper
melted butter
6 egg whites
2 cups fine dry breadcrumbs
In a large saucepan, place the meat, carrot, parsley and water. Bring to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling reduce the heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, heat the margarine in a Dutch oven. Add the flour, salt and spices and stir until you have a roux. Heat and stir for 2 more minutes and then let the roux cool down.
Once the meat mixture is done, reheat the roux and stir in the meat mixture gradually. Stir vigorously and bring to a low boil. Once all the meat mixture is added, maintain a low boil for 15 minutes.
Spread the meat mixture on cookie sheets with sides no higher than1/2". Brush with a bit of melted butter to prevent a crust from forming. Cool overnight in the refrigerator.
The next day, make cylindrical shapes (croquettes) or smallish balls (bitter balls) from the stiff mixture. Roll the cylinders through the breadcrumbs, then through the egg whites and again through the breadcrumbs, then freeze.
Place the frozen croquettes in preheated oil and deep-fry about 5 minutes or until they are golden brown. ( I have deep-fryed them ahead of time and reheated in the oven . . . this avoids the smell when you have a house full of guests).
Yield: approximately 30 croquettes
Can be served with Dutch-style coarse mustard.
This recipe comes from the cookbook "Let's Go Dutch Again" by Johanna Bates and Jan Walrabenstein.

Beef in Guinness
from Tipperary, Ireland
I found this recipe just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
2 1/2 pounds/ 1 kilogram shin of beef
2 large onions
6 medium carrots
2 tablespoons seasoned flour
a little fat or beef dripping
1/2 cup dry cider
1/2 pint/ 250 milliliters/ 1 cup Guinness with water
sprig of parsley
(serves four)
Cut the beef into chunks and peel and slice the onions and carrots. Toss the beef in the flour and brown quickly in hot fat. Remove the beef and fry the onions gently until transparent. Return the beef and add the carrots and the liquid. Bring just to the boil, reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer, cover closely and cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Check that the dish does not dry out, adding more liquid if necessary. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with plainly boiled potatoes.
NOTE: The Guinness in this recipe has the same function as the wine in Coq Au Vin - the acid and moisture combined with the long, slow cooking help tenderize the tough but flavorsome meat.
Beef MarinadeDave,
Here's a good marinade for especially flank steak on BBQ. You can use it on other beef cuts.
INGREDIENTS;
1 BOTTLE FRENCH DRESSING
5 TBS WORSTERSHIRE SAUCE
3 TBS RED WINE VINEGAR
1/4 CUP OIL (Vegetable or Olive)
3 to 4 CLOVES GARLIC
1 TSP SALT
PINCH OF PEPPER
This is the marinade and the basting sauce ( while on the grill).
1-2 1/2 LB FLANK STEAK
SLIGHTLY CUT LINES INTO THE STEAK and then again CROSSWIDTH; DO the same for the other side. Mix the ingredients above and pour over steak in a flat baking dish. Refrigerate over night; at least turn steak over once while marinating.
Get the coals the way you want them, pop on the steak, baste with it's marinade; cook it to your liking!
If you want, you can still use that sauce poured on your steak for a gravy.
I created this marinade and always had praise when company came over for a BBQ and had this recipe .
Dave, what do you think?

Beef Pho
from PA, US
Authentic South Vietnamese Style Pho. A comforting richly seasoned beef broth is ladled over rice noodles and thinly sliced beef. Add hot sauce and plum sauce to taste and top with cilantro, basil, lime juice and bean sprouts.
5 pounds beef knuckle, with meat
2 pounds beef oxtail
1 white (daikon) radish, sliced
2 onions, chopped

1 teaspoon black peppercorns

Place the beef knuckle in a very large (9 quart or more) pot. Season with salt, and fill pot with 2 gallons of water. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 2 hours.
Skim fat from the surface of the soup, and add the oxtail, radish and onions. Tie the anise pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns and ginger in a cheesecloth or place in a spice bag; add to the soup. Stir in sugar, salt and fish sauce. Simmer over medium-low heat for at least 4 more hours (the longer, the better). At the end of cooking, taste, and add salt as needed. Strain broth, and return to the pot to keep at a simmer. Discard spices and bones. Reserve meat from the beef knuckle for other uses if desired.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Soak the rice noodles in water for about 20 minutes, then cook in boiling water until soft, but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Slice the frozen beef paper thin. The meat must be thin enough to cook instantly.
Place some noodles into each bowl, and top with a few raw beef slices. Ladle boiling broth over the beef and noodles in the bowl. Serve with hoisin sauce and sriracha sauce on the side. Set onion, cilantro, bean sprouts, basil, green onions, and lime out at the table for individuals to add toppings to their liking.

Beef Stew with Rosemary and Dried Mushrooms
from New York, USA
3 lb beef stew cubed meat
1/2 cup flour to dredge meat

2 to 3 cups water or beef bullion

Cube or coarse dice vegetables. In a large pot heat a few Tbs. olive oil and cook and stir vegetables over high heat for a few minutes. Dredge meat in seasoned flour and add to pot and sear meat. Add water, along with bullion powder to taste or use beef broth and add dried mushrooms and rosemary. Bring all to a boil and cover and low simmer for about an hour or until vegetables as well as meat is tender. Add the peas and parsley and cook and stir several minutes longer. Correct seasonings and add vermouth if desired to taste. Makes 1 large pot, serves 8 to 10 or more. Serve in individual crockery bowls for a nice presentation. Stew freezes and reheats well.

Add the egg and whisk it into the anchovy paste with the fork. Whisk in the mustard. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly until incorporated. Whisk in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the black pepper, and Worcestershire. Add the beef and red onion and mix well with a wooden spoon.
To serve, mound the beef tartare in the center of a large cold serving platter and optionally arrange pita triangles around it.

Beef Tataki with Ponzu Sauce
from US
from Cooking.Com
For the Beef:
2-pound whole, trimmed beef tenderloin (filet), chilled
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (optional, available at Asian markets)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin (sweet Japanese cooking wine) or sherry
3 green onions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
2 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Zest of 1 lemon, removed in strips with a vegetable peeler
For the Ponzu Sauce:
4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons turbinado, raw, or brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ginger juice (see Note)
2 tablespoon very finely snipped fresh chives
FOR THE BEEF: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Be sure to let it reach its temperature before roasting the beef. Rub all sides of the beef with the vegetable oil, then rub in the soy sauce, if using, and season with the pepper. Place on a rack over a roasting pan and sear in the hot oven for 15 minutes. The internal temperature, in the very center, should be 115 degrees F. Immediately transfer the roasting rack to a tray (to catch the juices; do not keep over the roasting pan or the beef will continue to cook).
Set in a cool place to stop the cooking as quickly as possible. In a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag large enough to hold the beef, combine the soy sauce, mirin, green onions, garlic, and lemon zest. As soon as the beef is cool enough to handle, transfer to the bag and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours, turning over occasionally.
TO MAKE THE PONZU SAUCE: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, lemon and lime juices, and ginger juice. Keep whisking until the sugar dissolves.
About 45 minutes before you plan to serve, place the bag in the freezer (this will firm the beef and make it easier to cut even slices). After 20 minutes, remove the beef from the bag and discard the marinade. Slice crosswise with a very sharp knife into 1/4-inch slices, keeping them to an even thickness if possible. Fan the slices, overlapping, on a platter and let stand for 10 minutes. Drizzle with the Ponzu sauce and serve.
NOTE: To make 1 teaspoon ginger juice, grate a 1-inch piece of peeled, fresh ginger on a ceramic ginger grater set over a plate. Transfer the grated ginger and any juice on the plate to a small, fine-meshed strainer and press down on the ginger pulp to extract all its juice.

Beef Tenderloin in Salt Dough
from Lansdale, PA, US
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2004
5 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups kosher salt
3 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper
5 egg whites
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, and/or sage)
1 (6 to 7-pound) whole beef tenderloin, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Place the flour, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and water and add to the dry ingredients along with 2 tablespoons of the herbs. Combine with a potato masher until the mixture begins to come together. Then knead with your hands for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large zip-top bag, seal, and let stand at room temperature for 4 hours, or up to 24 hours.
Transfer dough to a floured surface and roll out to 3/16-inch thickness, approximately a 24 by 18-inch rectangle. Trim away extra dough, if necessary. Sprinkle the remaining herbs on the center section of the dough and gently press down.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In order to achieve uniform cooking, fold over slender tail end of tenderloin and tie with kitchen twine. Set a large electric griddle at its highest setting; brush the tenderloin with the olive oil and sear on all sides until well browned, approximately 10 minutes. Rest the meat for at least 5 minutes or until it is cool to the touch so as not to melt the dough.
Place the tenderloin in the center of the dough. Fold top part of dough over, flipping back about 1-inch of dough onto itself. Repeat with the bottom half of the dough. Press together the 2 flaps of dough and seal. Make sure the dough is not too tight around the tenderloin. At the ends of the tenderloin, press together dough to form a seal and cut away any excess. Transfer to a sheet pan, place in the oven and roast to an internal temperature of 125 degrees F, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. The tenderloin will continue to cook 10 to 15 degrees more. Cut salt crust at 1 end and extract meat by pulling out of dough tube. Slice and serve immediately.
Beef Tenderloin with Blue Cheese Crust

Serves 8
8 beef tenderloin steaks
3 tbsp of olive oil
2 tbsp of red wine vinegar
1 cup of crumbled blue cheese
1 tbsp of chopped fresh thyme
1 tbsp if chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup of chopped onion
1 chopped garlic clove
1/2 cup of Italian breadcrumbs
2 tbsp of water
1/2 tsp of ground pepper
Wipe and pat dry the steaks with a damp cloth. Mix the oil, vinegar, and ground pepper. Brush the mixture over the steaks. Let the steaks stir in the fridge for 2 hours, turning occasionally. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a food processor and mix until it becomes a thick paste. On a greased grill, cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes, flip them over, and cover with the cheese mix. Pat the cheese mix down with a spatula to flatten it. Cook for another few minutes until the cheese is melted and the steaks are at the desired doneness.
Beef Wellingtonfrom Australia
Beef Wellington
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
butter
3 or 4 large pieces suet
5 to 6 lb. fillet of beef
4 chicken livers
1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms,
finely chopped
1/4 lb. ham, finely ground
1 Tbsp. catsup
1/3 c. sherry
1 egg, separated
Three days before serving: Make puff pastry. Sift flour into large bowl; make well in center; pour in 3/4 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix with fork, adding 1/2 cup more water as it is absorbed into flour; chill 15 minutes. On floured board, roll pastry into rectangle 1/4-inch thick. Shape 1 1/2 cups firm, but not hard, butter into flat square cake 1/4-inch thick; place in center of pastry; fold pastry over it like an envelope. Roll into thin rectangle, taking care not to let butter break through. Fold into thirds, then refold resulting rectangle into thirds (this is a "turn"). Do 2 more turns. Chill 20 minutes. Do 2 more turns; chill 30 minutes. Repeat turns twice more; wrap in foil and chill. Day before serving: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place suet over fillet. In shallow roasting pan, roast to desired degree of doneness, 140 degrees for rare (about 40 minutes). Remove suet, cool and refrigerate.
Saute livers in 2 tablespoons butter until browned; chop fine. In same pan, saute mushrooms, ham, catsup and sherry 10 minutes; stir occasionally. Cool; stir in beaten egg yolk; remove to bowl, cover and refrigerate.
About 1 hour before serving: Roll 3/4 of puff pastry into 18-inch square or 1 large enough to enclose fillet. Lay bottom of fillet along one edge of pastry. Pat liver mixture on top of fillet. Lift pastry up and over fillet; tuck in ends, place seam side down, on cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush pastry with slightly beaten egg white. Use rest of pastry to make decorations for top; cut out with cookie cutters or by knife. Brush decorations with egg white. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 3 minutes before slicing for serving. Use roasting pan or cookie sheet. Serves 10.
This is a spectacular entree that is so easy because most of it is done ahead. I serve with a potato dish, usually scalloped potatoes and green vegetable like broccoli.

Beer Can Chicken
from NY, USA
1 1/2 cups mesquite wood chips
1 whole chicken 4 to 5 lbs
3 1/2 Tbs Memphis rub
1 can , 12 oz. beer
Memphis Rub ( makes 1/2 cup )
Mix all the following: Store and seal tightly
1/4 cup paprika
1 Tbs. brown sugar
1 Tbs. granulated sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 to 3 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
The recipe comes from a newspaper clipping and the cooking method sparked my curiosity. The chicken steams in a closed grill for about two hours and is very moist and tender with a subtle smoky flavor ( no strong beer flavor at all ) and the skin comes out brown and crisp. We would repeat this again. Following is a synopsis of the original directions and then my further comments.
Instructions and tips::
If using a gas grill: remove upper warming rack ( so it doesn't knock chicken down when lid is closed ), set the grill for indirect ( low ) heat, place a foil pan directly beneath the chicken to catch the drippings, don't open and close the lid often .
Soak the wood chips in cold water for 1 hour and drain. Rinse chicken ( remove any giblets etc. ) with cold water inside and out and pat dry. Sprinkle the cavity of the chicken with 1 Tbs of the dry rub and rub the outside of the chicken well with another Tbs. of the rub
For gas grills place the wood in the smoker box and preheat to high . When smoke appears, lower heat to medium. For charcoal grill, bank coals to side of the grill and light. Coals are ready when coated with a light gray ash color.
For both types of grills place a drip pan in center just below where chicken will be placed.
Now open the beer can and poke ( 6 or 7 ) holes in the top of the can. Pour out the top inch of liquid and place in 1 Tbs. of the dry rub. Holding chicken upright with body cavity pointed down, insert the upright can of beer into the chicken.
Believe it or not a beer can chicken roaster ( to support the can of beer ) is available for sale at this site: http://www.beercanchickenroaster.com
When ready to cook: for the charcoal grill, drain the wood chips and toss half over the coals. Oil the grate and stand chicken up in center of hot grate over drip pan. Spread out legs to support the chicken. If using charcoal, add 10 to 12 fresh coals per side and the remaining wood chips after 1 hour of cooking. It takes about 2 hours for the covered chicken to cook either gas or charcoal.
Using tongs lift chicken to cutting board, holding large metal spatula under the beer can for support. Be careful not to spill the hot beer. Let chicken stand for 5 minutes before carving meat off the carcass. Serves 6.
Joan's Tips:
I used a 16 oz. can of beer which was taller and offered more support. I covered the can ( sides not top ) with heavy duty aluminum foil because I worried about the color coming off the beer can into the chicken. I cut off any hanging excess fat from the chicken. I also used a smaller chicken, about 3 1/2 lbs. which cooked in 1 hour and 45 minutes. The chicken on the tall can was quite stable.
I used the gas grill and low heat setting after the grill was preheated to high. I placed a piece heavy duty foil ( on top of the grates ) with edges folded up to contain any drips and no other drip pan was used. I used long tongs to remove the chicken off the beer can directly from the grill. The chicken was very tender but lifted off easily . I opened the grill cover about a total 4 times during cooking to briefly check. To my surprise there was not a lot of drippings contained in the foil.
Good luck and hope you all enjoy the recipe if you try it.

Beggar's Purse ChickenBeggar's Purse Chicken
DUXELLE STUFFING:
4 oz. roasted, peeled chestnuts, pureed
6 oz. mushrooms, minced
2 oz. butter
Melt butter and saute mushrooms and chestnut puree until liquid
evaporates. Add salt and pepper to taste. Fix and set aside to chill.
CHICKEN PREPARATION:
8 pieces of boneless chicken breasts, butterflied
2 T vegetable oil
12 sheets filo dough
bread crumbs or corn meal
salt and pepper
Pound chicken to a uniform thickness. Season with salt and
pepper. Heat oil to almost smoking and brown chicken breasts on all
sides. Remove and chill. Cut filo sheets in half. Place one piece on a
flat surface. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with bread
crumbs. Repeat with second layer. On third layer use no bread crumbs.
Place chicken in middle of one set of filo. Put 1/8 of the duxelle in
the middle of the chicken. Pull up the dough around the chicken and
twist gently. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Bake in a preheated
375 degree (U.K. - Mark 4) oven for 20 minutes. Serves 4.
Note: I suggest that the chicken be served atop a champagne or other
white sauce. Shredded sauteed red cabbage with rice wine vinegar makes a
fine accompaniment. Please e-mail me with any questions and / or results!!
CHESTNUT TIPS
Peeling Chestnuts: The easiest way to peel chestnuts is by boiling. Cut
them in half from top to bottom. Discard any that look dark brown inside
or smell offensive. Place the nuts in a deep pot with just enough water
to cover them. Cover and boil for five minutes. Scoop out a few nuts
with a slotted spoon and as soon as they are just cool enough to handle,
but still very hot, pop the nuts out of their skins. If it's difficult,
throw them back into the pot for a few more minutes and try again.
Pureeing Chestnuts: Many recipes call for puree. To make, boil the nuts
and peel as described above. After the chestnuts are peeled, boil
another 10 minutes in a smaller amount of fresh water, broth, or milk,
depending on the recipe. Use a food processor or potato ricer to make a
smooth paste. Puree can also be made from dried nuts soaked overnight
and then boiled until very soft.

smooth and melted. Cool to lukewarm, then add yeast; stir in till
dissolved.
Sift dry flour and salt into another bowl. Stir about half of this flour
mixture into the milk mixture gradually, then add egg. Beat batter
thoroughly, stirring in remaining flour a little at a time. Cover with a
towel and set aside for about an hour till it doubles in bulk. Knead
gently on floured board; roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into two-inch
squares (or diamonds) with a sharp knife. Cover and let rise again 30-45
minutes.
Drop squares into hot oil (385 degrees F), turning once when golden brown
on bottom side. Drain on paper towles and dust with sifted powdered sugar.
Serve warm. Makes about 2 dozen.
NOTE: Beignet mixes are widely available and require only that you add
water, then mix and fry -- they're quite good. Or make "Mock Beignets":
Cut flattened canned biscuits in half and fry in hot oil till golden on
each side, then dust in powdered sugar.

Beingan BhartaBeingan Bharta--Indian Eggplant
(measurements are approximate)
1 large eggplant
1 green chili - thinly sliced
1 pinch asafoetida (optional)
1 tsp mustard seed
2 tsps salt
1 medium onion, chopped
fresh cilantro, chopped-- "a healthy amount"
vegetable oil for frying
The eggplant should be grilled first to give the dish a nice smokey flavor. You can do this either by putting the whole eggplant on an outdoor grill and turning a couple of times, or you can grill it on a gas range. First remove the stems and leaves so they won't burn. Put down some tin foil in the well of the burner to catch the juice which will come out. Place the metal burner on top and grill the eggplant directly on it. The outside of the eggplant will burn as the inside cooks, turn it frequently. Once cooked, let it cool until you can comfortably handle it. Peel the skin off--this should be easy because it is burnt, but if a little bit of skin sticks, that's fine.
Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan or wok. Don't let it get too hot, though--because you want the heat on low as you add the mustard seeds. Let the seeds pop gently in the oil, then add the onion. Fry until translucent. Add the eggplant, asafetida, green chili, and salt.
Fry for 5-10 minutes. Add the chopped cilantro about a minute before serving. Enjoy with flat bread (naan or chapatis) or plain old pita. Yum!

Bhratti...a reasonably close imitation of BHRATTI
Long long ago I came upon this delicious dish in a remote area of southern India. Owing to language difficulties I could not quite make out the recipe, but after some trials and errors, I finally managed to concoct something close to the original:
2 cups Basmati rice (Carolina will do)
2 medium onions
bunch of fresh basil leaves (about half cup when chopped)
1 tbsp curry powder (mild or hot, according to preference)
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp good grade cooking oil
500 grams (just over 1 lb) ground chicken or lean pork
Chop onions and fry in 2 tbsp oil until just starting to brown.
Add meat and curry powder, stir until brown.
Scoop out onions and meat, leaving oil in pan.
Add dry rice and stir until transparent.
Add 4 cups water and salt, bring to boil, cover and cook over LOW flame for 15 mins or until all water is absorbed.
Add meat, onions, finely chopped basil and the rest of the oil, stir and cook for another 3 mins.
(You could eat it now, but here comes the trick):
Put everything in shallow glass dish, cover with paper towel and microwave on full power for another 10 to 15 mins. (YES, that long!)
The final ordeal in the microwave oven will turn the individual grains of rice crispy on the outside, leaving their cores soft - a heavenly crunchy sensation.

Bhutta Chaat
This is a wonderful Indian salad adapted from June/July 1995 Fine Cooking.
Enjoy!
Lemony Corn Chaat
(Bhutta chaat)
Serves 1-2
1/2 cup frozen corn (I have best results with Cascadian Farm)
~2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice or to taste
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/2 - 1 jalepeno, cored, seeded, and minced
1 Tbs. minced cilantro leaves (or Vietnamese coriander)
1/4 -1/2 tsp black salt *
Dash cayenne
1 small cucumber, peeled and diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1/2 -1 cup diced tomato
salt to taste
toasted or raw cumin seeds
Steam the corn until tender. Cool to room temperature
Combine lemon juice, ginger, jalapeno, cilantro, black salt, and cayenne in
a large bowl; mix well. Add the corn, cucumber, onion, and tomatoes, and
toss gently to coat the vegetables. Add salt to taste. Sprinkle with cumin
seeds before serving. This salad is best at room temperature.
*Black salt can be found at Indian groceries. It isn't really an optional
ingedient for chaat. I have heard there is a salt called Real Salt, mined
in Utah. This can be used, although it is a different taste. Black salt
looks like a pink powder. My stash is from House of Spices. It has the
name Kala Nimak on it. Regular salt is not a substitute.

Bigos
from Poland
One 33 ounce jar of Polonaise Sauerkraut
One Savoy Cabbage
Two pounds beef
Two pounds pork
One pound of ``breakfast" sausage links
½ pound smoked bacon
One pound Kielbasa
One onion
One SMALL can of Tomato paste or sauce
3 to 5 Bay Leaves
salt, pepper, oil, sugar
spices and herbs to your taste
First, get a jar of Polonaise Sauerkraut and a pound of kielbasa. Don't use watered down sauerkraut that comes in a plastic sack with lots of water and vinegar. The final product is only as good as the best ingredients you can get. Then, get the best beef and pork with a minimum of fat. Cut off all that you can before cooking. Get a half pound of thick sliced bacon. If you cannot find a Savoy cabbage a regular cabbage works just fine. Start by getting a large pot of water boiling. Add the sauerkraut. Let it bubble away. Cut up the beef and pork into little fork size squares and brown. Generally this takes two frying pans (one each for beef and one each for pork). Season with secret herbs and spices. Grate the cabbage. Throw it into the boiling pot. Chop up the onion and in it goes too. When the beef and pork is browned. Pour both in the pot. Drippings and all. Cut the kielbasa into short pieces and sear in one of the frying pans. The searing keeps kielbasa from mushing up when it spends a lot of time in hot water. When seared, into the pot it goes. Cut all the bacon, except one slice, into half inch long pieces and fry. Drain off the extra fat as necessary. When the bacon is done eat the single strip and throw the pieces in the pot. It's ok to cook the sausage in the same frying pan with the bacon. Little chunks, any size. Add a little (teaspoon full) of salt, a half teaspoon of pepper (go light on this), one eighth cup sugar, and the bay leaves to the pot. And here's the final touch. Dump in a SMALL can of tomato paste or tomato sauce. Stir. Add water as necessary. Cook at low heat. They call this simmer. The longer it simmers, the better it gets. Leftovers can be frozen and thawed. Or you can just store in the refrigerator and reheat through the week

As you travel around East Africa you will see countless Africans selling food along the roadsides, in the markets, or through bus and train windows. They sell fruit, boiled eggs grilled maize, boiled maize, yogurt, milk, soda pop, fried dough balls, samosas, yellow buns, and real seasonal delicacies like roasted mice and termites. The following are a few East African snack foods you can try.
"Beef Jerky" is more common in South Africa but still a part of the East African diet. It is generally made from beef, but other game is used when available. Cut strips of meat following the grain of muscle. Make strips 2 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Best made during cool dry weather if possible.
Submerse sliced meat in marinade and leave overnight.
Hang the strips of meat in a cool, dry, well ventilated place until dry or use a non-heating food dehydrator.

Birthday Blueberry Daiquiri
from NY, USA
For each Daiquiri:
1 pouch ( 4.7 oz ) of instant daiquiri mix
1 1/2 ounces of light rum ( chilled )
3/4 oz blueberry schnapps or brandy ( chilled )
1/3 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Requested for my Daughter's 21st birthday:
In the blender place all ingredients and blend well till frothy. Pour into chilled glasses. For an extra special drink, garnish with a dollop of whipped heavy cream. Although variations for fruit daiquiris are on the box mix, the addition of blueberry schnapps is my personal addition. You could probably even create your own daiquiri mix ( basically a sugar & lime powder )

minutes. Turn slices o
ver and bake 4-5 minutes longer on second side.(the longer the baking time, the
crisper the biscotti) Remove from oven onto wire racks to cool. Store in
airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Can be frozen.

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon anise seed -- crushed
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 whole egg equivalent -- or 6 egg whites
2 tablespoons lemon zest -- grated
-or- 1 tbsp dry zest

Chocolate Biscotti
Recipe By : FF Mailing List (Christel Reeve)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cakes And Cookies Desserts
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar -- or more
1/2 cup cocoa
2 teaspoons flavoring (raspberry,orange, or almond)
2 whole egg equivalent
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
splash liquor -- ie, Chambord
semisweet chocolate -- melted;optional
Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, salt and baking baking powder. Separately,
mix flavoring and eggs. Combine. Add splash of liquor or water as needed to have a sticky consistency. If the mixture is too stiff, it won't spread out properly.
Put this glob on a greased cookie sheet and arrange it into a log about 15
inches long and 1 1/2 - 2" wide. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes, then slice diagonally into 1/2- 3/4" slices. I got 18 pieces from mine.
Place the slices on their side and put back in the oven (300 degrees) for 15 minutes. Turn over and cook another 10-15 minutes.
If you can afford the fat, a small drizzle of semisweet chocolate is
wonderful on these when cooled. I used about 2 T. for all the cookies, which added about 6 g. fat to the recipe or 1/3 g. fat each one.
Biscotti: Chocolate FrostingIf anyone out there in Recipeland has a really good and authentic recipe for Italian Biscotti (anise and/or chocolate), I would be very grateful.
Chocolate Frosting For Biscotti
1 Cup chocolate chips
2 To 3 Tablespoons Butter
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
In a heavy, small saucepan heat chocolate and butter over low flame until melted. Stir often. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Frost Biscotte. For a design, run a fork over the frosting while it's soft. Let stand until chocolate is set.
Keeps well in an airtight container, but then *everything* in Hawaii keeps well
in an airtight container!

Biscotti: Double Chocolate Walnut
This is my dad's recipe. He makes them for all my friends. (He's a sweet guy.) As we say here in the Boston area, they're "to die for!"
Dad's Double Chocolate Walnut Biscotti
2 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. softened unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup walnuts, chopped
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 Tbsp. confectioners' sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large baking sheet. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, soda, and salt. In a different bowl, beat together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until combined well. Stir in flour mixture to form a stiff dough. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips.
With floured hands form dough into 2 logs, each 12" long and 2" wide on the prepared cookie sheet. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Bake 35 minutes or until slightly firm to the touch. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes. Cut biscotti diagonally into 3/4" slices. Arrange cut sides down on baking sheet and bake until crisp, around 10 minutes. Cool on rack. Makes around 30.

Biscotti: Milk ChocolateThese really are better than ones you can buy. I gave them as Christmas gifts to
several chef friends, I've had nothing but compliments. Despite the title, they have a lovely dark color and flavor.
Elizabeth
Milk Chocolate Biscotti
7 ounces (1 1/3 cups) whole blanched almonds
7 ounces fine quality milk chocolate
1 3/4 cups sifted unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toast the almonds in a shallow pan in a preheated 350-degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly colored, shaking the pan once or twice. You can tell when they are done by the strong smell of toasted almonds when you open the oven door. Set aside to cool.
Cut or break the chocolate into small pieces and place it in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Let stand.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa, and sugar. Add about a cup of these sifted ingredients to the chocolate. Process for about 30 seconds, or until the chocolate is fine and powdery.
In a large bowl mix together the processed ingredients with the remaining sifted dry ingredients. Stir in the almonds.
In a small bowl beat the eggs with the vanilla just to mix. With a large rubber or wooden spatula stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. You might think there is not enough liquid, but there is - just keep stirring.
Now place two 20-inch lengths of plastic wrap on the work surface. In order to shape two loaves, spoon a strip of of the dough down the middle of each piece of plastic wrap. Each strip should be 13 to 14 inches long. Flatten the tops. Lift the two long sides of the plastic wrap (hold them together as close as possible to the dough----touching the dough) and----with your hands---press on the plastic wrap to smooth the dough and shape it into an even strip 14 to 15 inches long, 21/2 to 3 inches wide, and 3/4 inch thick (no thicker), with squared ends. If the strips of dough are thicker than they should be, the baked strips will not slice neatly.
Transfer to a cookie sheet and place in the freezer for about 2 hours (or as much longer as you wish), until firm enough to be unwrapped.
To bake, adjust two tracks to divide the oven into thirds. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line two large cookie sheets with baking parchment or aluminim foil, shiny side up.
To transfer the dough to the sheets (the dough might still be a bit sticky; if so, it is OK), open the two long sides of plastic wrap on top of one strip of dough and turn the dough out upside down on the lined sheet, placing it diagonally on the sheet. Slowly peel off the plastic wrap. Repeat with the second strip and the second sheet.
Bake for 1 hour, reversing the sheets top to bottom and front to back once during baking to ensure even baking. During baking the strips will spread out (7 to 8 inches wide).
After one hour of baking reduce the oven temperature to 275 degrees and remove the sheets from the oven. Immediately, with a wide, metal spatula release a strip from the parchment or foil and place it on a board. Repeat with the second strip.
Use a pot holder or a folded towel to hold the hot strip in place, and use a serrated bread knife to cut the strip crossise into slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide.
Repeat with the second strip. Place the slices, standing upright, on unlined cookie sheets with a little space between them.
Bake for 40 minutes, reversing the sheets top to bottom and front to back once during baking. Let cool and store in an airtight container.
>From Maida Heatter's Brand New Book of Great Cookies
Bitterballenfrom Rotterdam, Netherlands We have made this recipe several times and is always appreciated by ourselves and by guests.
These little meat balls are frequently served at parties and other festive occasions. The Dutch usually serve them with mustard for dipping, and you might want to serve them with a variety of dips, including mustards, chutneys, and barbecue sauces.
4 tbl. butter or margarine
1/2 lb ground beef or veal
1/4 cup carrot, finely diced
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
A grating of fresh nutmeg
1 tbl. fresh lemon juice
2 tbl. parsley, finely chopped
5 tbl. flour
1 cup beef broth or milk
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten with 1 tsp. water
Oil for deep frying
Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat and cook the meat, carrots, and onions until the meat is browned and the carrots are tender. Drain the meat in a colander, then place in a mixing bowl. Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, lemon juice, and parsley and stir to combine. Set the meat mixture aside. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over moderate heat and stir in the flour to make a roux. Cook this for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the beef broth or milk. Continue heating, stirring constantly, until the sauce boils and becomes quite thick. Combine the sauce with the meat mixture, stirring to combine them thoroughly, and chill this mixture for at least two hours in the refrigerator, until it has become solid. When the mixture has solidified, roll it into balls about 1 inches in diameter, using your hands. Roll the balls in the bread crumbs, then in the egg and water mixture, then in the bread crumbs again. Fry a few at a time in a deep fryer with at least 2 inches of oil at 375 degrees until golden (about 2 to 3 minutes). Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
Black and Tan Onion Rings
from Yardley, PA
Black and Tan Onion Rings
Despite the title, this recipe contains no alcohol. I created this recipe
one day and pretty much improvised. I'll try to supply a recipe with beer
another day. In any case, the reason for the title is the texture. This
recipe yields onion rings that are crispy and tasty on the outside and
tender on the inside. According to me the best results of this recipe are
the texture of the product and the fact that these rings don't taste as
fatty as most other varieties. And, with the ingredients I'm using here,
I'm convinced that this is a low-fat version. Honestly, these are the best
onion rings I have ever had.
If you've seen other recipes for onion rings, you'll probably notice the
absence of buttermilk and the presense of chicken or vegetable stock here.
I did this because I simply had no buttermilk at the time and instead of
using a bland ingredient or another ingredient that would yield more fat
content, I opted for the stock. Hey, sodium isn't a vice for me right now
so why not?
Ingredients
2 large sweet onions (i.e. Vidalia, Mayan, etc.)
*2 cups all-purpose flour
*1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock (maybe more, see note below)
1 T salt (optional)
2+ tsp paprika
1/4+ tsp cayenne pepper
2 dried ancho peppers, flaked (or use your favorite chili pepper)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Cut onions into 1/4-inch slices and separate concentric rings. Set aside.
Mix flour, salt (optionally), paprika, cayenne pepper, and the pepper flakes. Add stock until
mixture takes on a batter consistency -- see note below.
Pour oil into heavy saucepan, wok, or deep fryer to a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Heat to 350F.
Preferably with tongs, coat each ring individually until completely covered with
batter.
In batches, place rings into the oil until batter takes on various shades of medium and
dark brown. Remove rings from oil and place on dioxin-free paper towel to absorb the excess
oil. Serves about 8.
* I'm not sure exactly how much stock to use here but start with the recommended 1 1/2 cups
and add flour and stock intermittently until a batter texture is achieved.

Black And White Chocolate Macaroon Tart With Raspberry Sauce
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : October 1993
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
***FOR THE MACAROON SHELL***
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
1/3 cup sugar
***FOR THE FILLING***
2 large egg yolks
2/3 cup heavy cream
6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate -- (not unsweetened),
-- chopped
2 tablespoons rum
6 ounces fine-quality white chocolate -- chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
***FOR THE RASPBERRY SAUCE***
a -- (10-ounce) package
-- frozen raspberries
-- in light syrup,
-- thawed
Make the macaroon shell:
Preheat the oven to 375F. Butter generously the bottom and sides of a
9-inch square or 10-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom, line
the bottom with parchment paper, and butter the paper. In a bowl toss
together the coconut, the flour, and the salt. In another bowl whisk
together the egg whites and the sugar until the mixture is white and
foamy, stir the sugar mixture into the coconut mixture, and with a
rubber spatula spread the mixture evenly on the bottom and up the sides
of pan. Bake the shell in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes,
or until it is firm and golden, loosen it from the sides of the pan
with
a small knife, and remove the sides of the pan. Let the shell cool
completely on a rack, remove the bottom of the pan, peeling off the
paper from the bottom of the shell, and put the shell on a platter.
Make the filling:
In a small metal bowl whisk together the egg yolks and the heavy cream,
set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and cook the mixture
whisking constantly, until it is thickened and registers 160F. on a
candy thermometer. Remove the bowl from the pan, add the bittersweet
chocolate, stirring until the chocolate is melted, and stir in the rum.
In another small metal bowl set over the pan of barely simmering water
melt the white chocolate, stirring, stir in the sour cream, and stir
the
mixture until it is just smooth. Remove the bowl from the pan and let
the white and dark chocoalte mixtures cool to warm, stirring
frequently.
Spoon the chocolate mixtures into the macaroon shell, alternating them,
shake the platter gently to settle them together. Chill the tart,
covered loosely, for 8 hours, or until it is set. The tart may be made
1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
Make the sauce:
Force the raspberries through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard
on
the solids, scrape the pulp from the underside of the sieve into the
sauce, and whisk the sauce until it is combined well. The sauce may be
made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled.
Arrange slices of the tart on each of 8 dessert plates and pour some of
the raspberry sauce around them.
Serves 8.

Boudro's On the Riverwalk, San Antonio, TX
Black Bass with Sicilian Pestofrom Tipperary, Ireland
Serves 4
For the bass:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 boneless black bass fillets (about 2 pounds total)
1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon each of lemon zest and orange zest (3 passes of the microplane)
2 scallions, whites only, chopped very fine
1/4 cup white vermouth or white wine
1 tablespoon butter
For the pesto:
3/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/2 cup sliced blanched almonds
1/2 cup fresh basil (about 15 leaves), chopped
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup celery leaf, chopped
To prepare the bass:
Preheat the oven to 375.
Pour the olive oil into a baking dish.
Using a sharp knife, make 4 shallow diagonal incisions in the skin side of each fillet. (This keeps the fish from curling up and getting tough.) Season the fillets with salt, pepper, oregano, and the lemon and orange zest and shake the scallions over the top. Lay them in the baking dish skin-side up.
Pour the vermouth or wine over the fish.
Break up the butter with your fingers and place little bits across the fish.
Bake the fish, uncovered, until the flesh turns just white and is semi-firm to the touch, about 5 to 8 minutes. When you cut into the fish, the center should be just opaque.
To prepare the pesto:
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and put them in the blender with the olive oil, garlic, almonds, and 1 cup of hot tap water. Blend on high until the ingredients have combined into a chunky sauce, about 1 minute.
To finish:
Remove the fish from the baking dish to a plate but do not discard the juices in the bottom of the pan.
Add half the pesto to the juices in the baking dish and mix together over low heat until everything is combined. Add the chopped basil, parsley, and celery leaf, and mix to combine all the ingredients. If the pesto seems too thick for your taste, adjust the consistency by adding a little more hot tap water.
Spoon a portion of the pesto onto the bottom of each serving plate and place a fish fillet on top. Drizzle more extra-virgin olive oil over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes: I hope you enjoy this dish I designed a few years ago. The play
between the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar is quite nice.

Black Forest Brownies
from NY, US
Yield: 18
1 1/3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup baking cocoa ( regular or Dutched )
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond
1 cup chopped maraschino cherries
1/2 cup nuts chopped
Topping: ( frosting )
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
6 tbs baking cocoa ( regular or , Dutch processed )
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped nuts
I ordered one of those new brownie baking pans from the T.V. and made some brownies in it with a sticky glaze. They came out great! Easy to remove, did not stick to the pan and consistent pieces. Use any favorite brownie recipe you wish. My family loves this cherry and nut version. Of course the recipe can be baked in any 9x13 oblong pan.
Melt butter in a saucepan, set aside. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir cocoa into butter and then blend in sugar and extracts, add eggs one at a time and blend well. Stir into flour mixture to blend well. Stir in nuts and cherries.
Spray the pan and insert with cooking spray. Add batter and smooth in pan. Place in the insert into pan.
Bake brownies in a 350F until tested done ( about 30 to 35 minutes )
Remove to a rack to cool.
Make glaze ingredients by blending everything smooth. Carefully place a heaped spoonful of icing into each of 18 inserts to cover hot brownies.
It will melt! Sprinkle with the chopped nuts. Cool completely!
Chill pan in the refrigerator. Carefully remove insert from pan to release 18 perfect brownies. Use the brownie rack to remove sides of the pan so the bottom of cake pan then remains holding the brownies

Black Sticky Rice Puddingfrom Yardley, PA
Kow Neuw Dum Peiak (Thailand)
2 servings
1 dash salt
2-3 tablespoons coconut milk
1/3 cup sugar
5-6 cups water
1/2 cup black sticky rice
Boil the black sticky rice with 3 cups of water with the lid off. Reduce the heat to simmer after the water starts to boil. Barely simmer the rice for 1 hour keeping the lid off. After an hour, you will notice that the water level has gone down. Add 2 more cups and stir to incorporate the water. At this point you want to keep an eye on the rice as it cooks because it will become sticky and stick to the bottom of the pot. Use the lowest heat possible and stir every few minutes for another half an hour. You may find that you need to add more water. I like my sticky rice to be mushy, like a cottage cheese consistency. I add more water and let it simmer until I achieve that consistency. The pudding actually has a beautiful deep purple color.
When you get the right consistency, add 1/3 cup of sugar. You may find that you need more sugar depending on how much water you added and how sweet you like it to be. I don't like mine too sweet, so 1/3 of cup is good for me. Stir to dissolve the sugar and turn off the heat.
Heat up the coconut milk with a dash of salt. You just need to warm it up. Don't let it boil. I heat mine up in a microwave for 30 seconds. A tablespoon of coconut milk is good for one serving.
Scoop the black sticky rice pudding in a small bowl. Top it with a tablespoon of coconut milk. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Black Sticky Rice Pudding 2from Chicago, IL
Kao Niow Dahm
from "It Rains Fishes" by Kasma Loha-unchit
(http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/recipes/bstickr.html )
2 cups whole-grain black sticky rice, sweet rice or glutinous rice
2 cups, or 1 can, coconut milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. toasted sesame seeds and/or toasted unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Strawberries (or mango slice) and mint leaves (optional)
Measure the rice into a bowl; run your fingers through the rice and check for any pebbles or other noticeable impurities. Rinse the rice a few times until the water clears. Cover with at least 2 inches of water and allow to soak 4 or more hours, or overnight. The grains will absorb water and grow in size.
When ready to cook, drain the rice and place in a heat-proof bowl with room enough for the rice grains to expand about a third more than its uncooked bulk. Add a small amount of boiling water, just enough to barely cover the rice grains. Place the bowl on a steamer rack and steam over medium heat about 30-40 minutes. If you do not have a steamer, use a large pot in which the bowl fits. Place a trivet on the bottom along with 2-3 inches of water. Bring to a boil. Balance the bowl with the rice on the trivet and add hot water to the rice. Cover and steam. Steaming the rice with a small volume of water will leave the top layer of grains intact, retaining a chewy texture which pops in your mouth like nuts. If you wish the rice to be softer, add more water to the rice.
While the rice is steaming, make the coconut sauce by heating the coconut milk, sugar and salt together in a saucepan. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt and blend the sauce until smooth. Keep warm.
When the rice is cooked and while still hot out of the steamer, add about half of the sauce or enough to thoroughly coat the rice. Stir and mix well. The rice should be wet but not swimming in sauce. Let stand 15-20 minutes to allow the flavorings to be absorbed. Reserve the remaining sauce for spooning over the rice before serving.
The flavored rice can be molded into a round mound on a serving plate and decorated with toasted sesame seeds and/or coconut shreds, sliced strawberries and mint leaves for color. Or dish into individual serving bowls or custard cups, topped with the reserved sauce, toasted seeds and coconut and a mint leaf.
For a wetter pudding like texture, the rice may alternatively be cooked by boiling, the same way as you would regular rice. Use 2 1/2 to 3 cups of water to each cup of rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook partially covered until the grains are cooked and surrounded by a thick sauce, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning. Add sugar to sweeten to your liking. Stir well, cover and place on lowest heat setting for another 5-10 minutes. Make the sauce less sweet but more salty for contrast with the already sweetened rice. When ready to serve, dish the rice into individual serving bowls and dribble some sauce over each serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes:
Because of its rich, nutty flavor, black sticky rice is usually eaten by itself and not served with fruits, like white sticky rice often is with mangoes. For toppings, stronger flavors like toasted sesame seeds or toasted shredded coconut do more to accentuate the natural flavor of the rice. Unsweetened shredded coconut is available in small packages from Asian food markets or sold in bulk in specialty food stores.

Preheat oven to 350 degree. Check the pie crust to be sure the edges are at least 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch above the rim of the pan to prevent the pie filling from bubbling over the edge.
Gently combine all ingredients, in order listed. Stir enough to begin dissolving the sugar, but not enough to incorporate air into the filling. Do not beat, or the pie will have air bubbles on the top, instead of black walnuts, spoiling the glossy look of the glazed nuts.
Pour into the unbaked pie crust. Bake on a cookie sheet one hour, or until the center of the pie is no longer loose and the black walnuts are browned.
Serve either hot or cold, but for the best appearance, allow the pie to reach room temperature before cutting. Whipped cream or ice cream is a wonderful addition. For a gourmet treat, serve this pie hot.

Blackberry Cheesecake Roulade
Blackberry cheesecake roulade
Oven temperature: 375F
8 oz cream cheese
3 oz caster sugar
3 large eggs separated
1 oz cornflour
1/2 tsp salt
pinch cream of tartar
4 rounded tbsp bramble/redcurrant jelly
8 oz blackberries
icing sugar to dust
Line a 9 x 11 inch swiss-roll [jelly-roll?] tin
with baking parchment.
Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and,
using a mixer or electric beaters, whisk them
to the soft peak stage.
In another bowl, whisk the cream cheese to soften
it [if you do the whites first, you don't need to
wash the beaters], then beat in the sugar till
fully incorporated. Still whisking, add the egg
yolks one at a time. Finally, whisk in the cornflour
and salt.
Using a large metal spoon, gently fold the egg
whites into the cheese mixture [I beat in half
a spoonful of whites to loosen the mix first,
then fold in the rest].
Pour into the lined tin and bake 10-15 mins till
light brown. Cool slightly, in the tin.
Have ready another sheet of baking parchment,
which you have lightly oiled.
While the cheesecake is still warm loosen the
edges with a knife and turn it over onto the
oiled parchment sheet.
Melt the jelly [in a small pan, or in the
microwave], and let it cool slightly; stir in
the blackberries and spread this mixture
onto the cheese to within half an inch of the
edges.
Using the parchment to help, roll up the
cheesecake and transfer it to a serving
plate. Dust with icing sugar.
Don't chill before serving.

Blackened ChickenBLACKENED CHICKEN
16 3 oz skinless chicken breasts
3/4 lb Melted unsalted butter
Seasoning:
2 T Salt
1 1/2 t Garlic powder
1 1/2 t Ground black pepper
1 t White pepper
1 t Onion powder
1 t Ground cumin
1/2 t Gound cayenne pepper
1/2 t Sweet paprika
NOTE: Recipe calls for 16 (3-ounce) skinless boned chicken breasts, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, or 8 (10-ounce) bone-in leg-thigh pieces, or a combination of these.
Skin the leg-thigh pieces, then bone each piece along the length of the two bones, leaving meat in one piece. Trim off excess fat. Pound each breast or leg-thigh fillet to 1/2 inch thick. Let the chicken come to room temperature before blackening. Thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is extremely hot and just short of the point at which you see white ash or a white spot forming in the skillet bottom, about 8 minutes. (the time will vary according to the intensity of the heat source.) Heat the serving plates in a 250F oven. Just before cooking each piece of chicken, dip it in the melted butter so that both sides are well coated, then sprinkle each fillet evenly with the seasoning mix, using about a rounded 1/2 teaspoon on each, and patting it in with your hands. (If you lay the fillet on a plate or other surface to season it, be sure the surface is warm so the butter won't congeal and stick to the surface instead of to the meat. Wipe the surface clean after seasoning each fillet. Use any remaining seasoning mix in another recipe.)
Immediately place the fillet skinned side down in the hot skillet, making sure all meat folds are opened up and the meat is lying flat. Pour about 1 teaspoon butter on the top of the fillet (be careful, as the butter may flame up). If you cook more than 1 fillet at a time, place each fillet in the skillet before buttering and seasoning another one. Cook uncovered over the same high heat until the underside forms a crust, about 2 minutes. (The time will vary according to the thickness of the fillets and the heat of the skillet or fire; watch the meat and you'll see a white line coming up the side as it cooks.) Turn the fillets over and pour about 1 teaspoon more melted butter on top of each. Cook just until meat is cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Serve the chicken fillets crustier side up while piping hot. Clean the skillet after cooking each batch and repeat the blackening procedure with the remaining chicken fillets. To serve, place 2 breast fillets or 1 leg-thigh fillet on each heated serving plate. If you use a large serving platter, do not stack the fillets. Paul Prudhomme warns, "Blackening should be done either outdoors or in a commercial kitchen. The process creates an incredible amount of smoke that will set off your own and your neighbors' smoke alarms. People with really well-installed commercial hood vents at home have gotten away with blackening in their own kitchens. They are privileged! Don't push your luck."
Blackout Cake
from US
Black Out Cake from the Fifties
Moist and delicous cake from the 1950's. Chocolatey cake filled with pudding, frosted , and covered with cake crumbs. Prep Time: approx. 30 Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 40 Minutes. Makes 1 - 3 layer 9 inch round cake (14 servings). Printed from AllRecipes.com, Submitted by Sherry Lewis.
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup milk
2-1/4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups milk
3 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
3 cups confectioners sugar
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside. In a separate small bowl, gradually stir 1 cup milk into 1/3 cup of cocoa, then whisk until the mixture is smooth.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup shortening and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Add 3 eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixture; beat well. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the layers shrink from the sides of the pans and the tops spring back when gently pressed with a fingertip. The cake is dense and moist, so be careful not to over-bake it. Cool the layers in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully invert them onto the racks and cool completely.

This is a quick chocolate pudding. The original recipe called for whipping

Blini
from Providence, RI
1 packet "quick"-type active dry yeast
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm (105 to 115 degrees F.) water
1 tablespoon honey
3/4 cup (light) buckwheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose white flour, preferably unbleached
1/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder
2 tablespoons commercial sour cream or plain yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted and cooled
2 large eggs, separated
Pinch of salt
For Frying:
Butter, margarine, vegetable oil, or non-stick cooking spray
To Serve (optional):
Commercial sour cream or plain yogurt
Caviar
Very thinly sliced smoked salmon (or "lox")
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the yeast, water, and honey. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes, or until it is foamy. Stir in the flours, milk powder, sour cream, melted butter, and egg yolks. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest for 30 minutes. It will not rise very much, but will form bubbles on the surface.
In a separate, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt just until they form stiff peaks; do not overbeat them, or they may be difficult to fold. Gently, but thoroughly, fold the beaten whites into the batter.
Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it. Spoon 1-1/2- to 2-tablespoon measures of the batter onto the preheated griddle. When bubbles have formed on the surface of the pancakes, and the bottoms are browned, turn them once and cook just until lightly browned on the second side. Serve the blini with the desired accompaniments, or with pancake syrup.
Makes about 30 2-1/2 to 3-inch blini

Blood Orange CheesecakeServes 8 to 10
Ricotta cheese makes this lighter and less rich than a standard cheesecake.
2 cups fresh ricotta cheese
6 or 7 graham crackers, crushed into crumbs (3/4 cup)
3/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 envelope unflavored gelatin

1 Candied Blood Orange Slice
Blood Orange Glaze (Recipe Below)
Place ricotta in a sieve lined with cheesecloth, place in refrigerator, and let the ricotta drain for several hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Fit a parchment circle into the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan. Make crust: Combine graham-cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Stir in melted butter with a fork until crumbs are moistened. Press into bottom of pan, and bake for 10 minutes.
Place lemon juice in a small bowl, and sprinkle gelatin over the surface. Set aside for 10 minutes to soften.
In a small, heavy saucepan, beat egg yolks until smooth. Whisk in milk. Gradually whisk in remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar. Add salt. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Do not allow to boil. Transfer to a bowl, and stir.
Stir in softened gelatin, orange zest, and vanilla, mixing until gelatin is completely dissolved. Set custard aside.
Place drained ricotta in the bowl of a food processor, and process until smooth. Add cream cheese, and process again until smooth. With machine running, add warm custard, and process just long enough to combine. Transfer to a bowl, and fold in whipped cream. Pour mixture into the prepared pan, cover, and chill overnight.
Place a candied orange slice in center of cake. Pour glaze over top, tipping cake pan to cover completely. Chill for 1 hour, or until glaze is set.

beat the butter with a rolling pin until it is smooth but still cold,
add the remaining 1/2 cup flour, and blend the mixture quickly until it
is smooth. Working quickly, form the butter mixture into a 6-inch
square and chill it, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 15 to 30 minutes, or
until it is firmer but still malleable. On a well-floured surface roll
the dough into a 12-inch square, lay the butter diagonally in the center
of the square, and fold the corners of the dough tightly over the butter
like an envelope, enclosing the butter completely. Brush off any excess
flour and pinch the edges of the dough together to seal them. With the
rolling pin flatten the doug h gently with uniform impressions and roll
it from the center away from you to within 1/2 inch of the end. Turn
the strip 180° and roll the dough again from the center away from
you to within 1/2 inch of the end. Continue to roll the dough in this
manner until it forms an 18-by 8-inch rectangle. (It is important not
to roll over the ends in this first rolling to help the later formation
of even layers of butter and dough.) Brush off any excess flour from the
dough, fold the top quarter of the rectangle down to the center of the
strip, and fold the bottom quarter of the rectangle up to the center,
leaving about 1/2 inch between the 2 ends. Fold the top half of the
dough over the bottom to close the dough like a book. Turn the dough
90° so a short side faces you, roll it again into an 18- by 8-inch
rectangle, and fold it in the same manner. This completes 2 "turns."
Chill the dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1 hour. Make 2 more turns
in the same manner, always beginning with a short side facing you and
chilling the dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1 hour between each
turn. Chill the dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, for at least 4 hours or
overnight.
Make the filling:
In a bowl beat together the cream cheese, the sugar, the yolk, the
vanilla, the salt, the zests, and the flour until the mixture is smooth
and chill the filling, covered, for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
Roll half the dough into a 16- by 8-inch rectangle, trim the edges
evenly, and cut the rectangle into eight 4-inch squares. Stretch 2
opposite corners of each square slightly to lengthen the dough and form
flaps that will enclose the filling. Roll out, cut, and stretch the
remaining dough in the same manner. Spoon 1 tablespoon of filling onto
the center of each square of dough, sprinkle about 1 1/2 tablespoons of
the blueberries over it, and brush the flaps with some of the egg wash.
Fold 1 of the flaps across the berries, fold the other flap across the
berries in the opposite direction, overlapping the first flap, and tuck
the second flap under the Danish. Brush the Danish pastries with the
egg wash, arrange them about 3 inches apart on lightly buttered baking
sheets, and let them stand for 1 hour. Bake the Danish pastries in the
middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until
they are crisp and golden.
Make the glaze while the Danish pastries are baking:
In a bowl whisk together the confectioners' sugar, sifted, and enough of
the lemon juice to make a thick but pourable glaze.
Transfer the Danish pastries to a rack and drizzle some of the glaze
over each pastry. The Danish pastries may be cooled to room
temperature, wrapped in plastic wrap and foil, and frozen for 1 month.
Transfer the Danish pastries to a baking sheet and bake them in the
middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 5 minutes, or until they are
heated through.
Makes 16 Danish pastries.

Blueberry Cheesecake
Blueberry cheesecake
crust: 1 3/4 cup graham wafer crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped nuts
filling: 2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups sour cream
8 oz cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla
topping: 2 cups frozen berries
1/2 cup sugar plus 1 tbsp. sugar
4 tsp cornstarch
if desired..whipped cream for serving
Prepare crust by combining all ingredients. Press in springform pan.
Prepare filling by blend altogether until smooth. Pour over crust and
bake at 350 for 50-60 min. Then turn off heat and leave in oven to
cool. Dont worry about not feeling done at first..it will finish cooking
when oven is turned off. I normally leave it for about another hour or
go to bed and leave it overnight.
Prepare topping by combining ingredients in pot and cooking until
thickened..stirring occasionally. Then put in refrigerator to
cool..(normally I prepare this while cake is in oven and both can cool
overnight)...then pour over cooled cake...You can top with whipped cream
if desired before serving. I've done this recipe with several toppings..
strawberries..raspberries..blueberries...I just alternate the crust with
or without the nuts/cinnamon to suite the topping. It is the best
cheesecake recipe I've found for berry toppings.

Blueberry Pie
from New York, USA
1 double crust pie pastry for a 9 inch pie- use your favorite recipe for fruit pies
Filling:
6 cups fresh or frozen blueberries thawed
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
dash salt ( optional )
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla or almond ( optional use with other variations)
Variations:
3 cups blueberries with 3 cups of fresh pitted cherries, or 3 cups of blackberries or raspberries or 3 cups fresh,skinned ripe sliced peaches
I have been cooking and baking for my invalid father. Because he is on a cardiac diet he cannot have lots of salt or fat. At his age of 91, the salt is so much worse for his heart than the fat. So I make his favorite pie prepared without any sodium in the crust or filling. I used the salt substitute instead with good results.
My niece also wanted to know how to make a good pie without a runny filling- So baking at my Dad's brought us together which made my father as well as my mom so happy.
Prick bottom crust with a fork. Mix sugar , cornstarch, cinnamon and salt. Stir into blueberries. Add flavorings if desired. Place mixture in crust. Apply top crust and decoratively flute or crimp edges. Slash pie decoratively but deeply in
at least 4 places. Failure to deep slash will not let juices or steam escape and you will have stewed the blueberries resulting in a runny, soggy pie!!
Dust top of crust with a bit of flour and granulated sugar. Bake in middle rack 425F for 15 minutes than 45 minutes at 375F. Remove to rack to cool completely. Chill in refrigerator before serving. Filling thickens with cooling and chilling and makes for easier slicing.
Yield one delicious pie. We garnished pieces with some fresh mint out of the garden.
For those not on a diet serve with some ice cream or whipped cream.
Blueberry Plum Crisp
from Tipperary, Ireland
Ingredients:
1 pint native blueberries
5 ripe plums, sliced (10 to 14 slices per fruit)
1 or 2 ripe peaches, sliced the same as the plums (nectarines do fine also)
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Streusel Topping:
1 Tablespoon flour
1 Tablespoon cold butter
2 Tablespoons and 1 teaspoon sugar
Toss blueberries, plums, peaches, 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice together and put into a pan for baking. An 8 x 8-inch square cake pan works or a 9- or 10-inch deep dish pie plate, anything that will hold the fruit at least 1-1/2 inches deep.
Quickly crumble the streusel ingredients together in a small bowl with your fingers until it looks like fine little clumps (about 1/2 minute).
Lightly cover the fruit with streusel topping and bake in a 350-degree oven for an hour or until the fruit is soft and bubbling. If the streusel is not browned enough for your liking, slide it under the broiler for a minute or two.
Serving suggestion: try topping this with vanilla ice cream

2 medium onions, sliced
salt & pepper, to taste
1/3 c flour
2 cans condensed beef broth
3 cups red or Burgundy wine
2 tbls tomato paste
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp whole thyme
2 whole bay leaves
10 -12 small white onions [optional]
mushrooms I use fresh, and add towards the end.
Put beef cubes and onions in cooker. It is not necessary to brown meat first. Blend remaining ingredients together, stir into meat in cooker. Set cooker on low [200*]. Cover and slow cook for 8- 10 hours (I use sirloin tip roast, and it is much less time). Serve over cooked rice or noodles.
Serves 6 - 8 ( I also find I don't use this much meat.)
* If it needs thickening, turn up heat, and blend flour with water into mixture.

2-3 tbsp. Hungarian paprika (mild)
1 tsp. caraway seeds, crushed
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
freshly ground pepper
salt
3 pints beef stock (or water)
1 1/2 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1 green pepper, chopped
2 firm tomatoes, chopped
Melt fat (you can use equal quantities of butter and oil instead of lard) in a large saucepan and saute the onion for a few minutes. Add paprika and stir. Add meat, stir and brown on all sides on low heat. Add caraway seeds, oregano, garlic, pepper and salt and stir. Add a little stock, cover tightly and simmer at low heat; the meat should actually be braised rather than boiled. Let simmer for 2 hours; stir occasionally and add more stock as needed. When the meat is almost tender, add potatoes, and a few minutes later the green pepper, tomatoes and what is left of the stock. Simmer until potatoes are tender.
Notes: Sometimes pasta like spaetzle or csipetke is added and boiled in the soup for the last few minutes. Add hot chilies if you want a hotter soup, or use hot Hungarian paprika instead of some of the mild type.

Boiled PeanutsI found this wonderful recipe on http://www.whatscookingamerica.net .
Judging from the many variations on recipes for boiled peanuts, there appears to be no wrong way to boil green peanuts. The important thing is the many tastings needed to determine when they are done. You must taste test the boiled peanuts for saltiness and firmness, as some people prefer soft nuts to firmer ones.
4 to 5 pounds green (raw) peanuts in shell
4 to 6 quarts water
1 cup plain salt
Wash unshelled peanuts thoroughly in cold water until water runs clear; then soak in cool, clean water for approximately 30 minutes before cooking.
In a large pot, place soaked peanuts and cover completely with water. Add 1 cup of salt per gallon of water. Cook, covered, on high heat for 4 to 7 hours.
NOTE: the cooking time of boiled peanuts varies according to the maturity of the peanuts used and the variety of peanuts. The cooking time for a 'freshly pulled" or green peanut is shorter than for a peanut that has been stored for a time.
Boil the peanuts for about 4 hours, then taste. Taste again i 10 minutes, both for salt and texture. Keep cooking and tasting until the peanuts reach desired texture (when fully cooked, the texture of the peanut should be similar to that of a cooked dry pea or bean).
Remove from heat and drain peanuts after cooking or they will absorb salt and become over salted.
Peanuts may be eaten hot or at room temperature, or chilled in the refrigerator and eaten cold, shelling as you eat them.
Freezing boiled peanuts:
Prepare peanuts as indicated above. Drain, allow to cool, and freeze in airtight containers. They keep indefinitely.
Canning Your Boiled Peanuts:
Prepare peanuts and brine the same as for boiling for immediate use.
Pack peanuts into jars to within one-half inch of the top, using equal weights of peanuts and hot brine (212°F). Partially submerge containers in upright position in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Seal while hot and process 45 minutes at 10 pounds pressure. Cool containers in water, label, and store away from heat.

coloring into the warm cheese, using just enough to turn the cheese a
delicate snot green.
To form boogers: Dip and twist the tip of each prtezel stick into the
cheese, lift out, wait twenty seconds, then dip again. When cheese lumps
reach an appealingly boogerish size, set pretzels, booger down, onto a
sheet of waxed paper.
Allow finished boogers on a stick to cool at room temperature for ten
minutes or until cheese is firm. Gently pull boogers off waxed paper and
arrange on a serving platter. Serves 5 to 6 booger buddies.
Sicko Serving Suggestion: Place a bowl of chunky red salsa in the center
of the platter so that guests can turn plain boogers into bloody ones.

Hi All!
Here are some soup recipes that you might like. Some of them are GREAT for those cold wintery nights! No good to those in the Northern Hemisphere who will be experiencing summer soon. But our friends in the Southern Hemisphere (or other cold regions) should benefit from these. Hey Rayna in New Zealand, *you* might find these useful, eh? Greetings!
BORSCHT
Ingredients:
4 medium beets
2 cups cabbage
8 oz beef (bones optional)
1 cup carrots
2 stalks celery
1 1/2 cups leeks
1 1/2 cups onions
1/4 cup butter
4 cups beef stock
1/4 cup tomato puree
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 1/2 cups sour cream
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 small sprig fresh dill
Method:
Peel and cut 2 beets into 2" long by 1/4" thick julienne. Cut beef into 1" julienne. Cut cabbage, carrots, leeks and onions into large julienne and celery into slices. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add beef (and bones if using) and brown it for a few minutes. Add the carrots, celery, leeks and onions and seal with lid on for about 5 minutes. Add beets and cabbage and continue to sweat (cook with the lid on). After about 7 minutes, add the stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer (covered) for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is cooked.
Peel and grate the remaining 2 beets finely. Place in a bowl and add vinegar, a pinch of salt and enough water to cover -- this process will "bleed" the beets and give red colour to the finished soup. When the soup is cooked, add the strained juice from the grated beets. Adjust seasonings.
Serve with a spoonful of sour cream and fresh, chopped dill.
Notes: Measure the vegetables AFTER cutting them. I normally par-boil beef cubes in plenty of water and 1/2 teaspoon each crushed garlic and ginger before cutting into juliennes. I then use the stock in making the soup. This cuts down on the cooking time and the garlic and ginger give a wonderful aroma to the Borscht. This is a personal variation from the traditional method of making this soup.

Glaze:
6 0z pkg semi sweet chocolate chips
3 Tbs water
2 Tbs butter ( not margarine)
2 Tbs light corn syrup
dash salt
Made this for Mother's Day which we all enjoyed!
Directions
Tips:
make cake ahead of time, Freeze: then when partially frozen, slice cake in half, filling with prepared chilled custard.
Then wrap and chill cake overnight to keep cake and custard chilled and moist.
Before serving make the glaze and pour over the cake, smooth top and sides if you wish or just let it drip over.
One can of course, prepare the glaze and chill it - but it will harden.
If you want a soft frosting I suggest to use a chocolate buttercream frosting which can be chilled and remain soft.
So:
for cake: Beat butter, sugar and vanilla and cream light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.
Sift dry ingredients and add with milk to creamed mixture blending into a smooth batter
Pour in a greased and floured 9 inch springfiorm pan.
Bake in a preheated 350F oven, about 1 hour or tested done in center with toothpick in center.
The cake wont be that tall, but when filled and glazed, the pieces are nice size.
Cool completely in pan, remove .
Custard:
Mix everything ( except butter and vanilla ) in a saucepan off heat . whisk till well mixed.
Then over medium heat cook and stir constantly until thick.
Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla.
If for some reason your custard may be lumpy, just use this tips most chefs use, that is strain the custard into a bowl and discard lumps remaining in strainer.
Also if you feel custard is too thick, easily thin by whisking in a bit of milk or cream. If you like a bit of rum flavor, add it too.
Glaze:
I simply put all the ingredients in a micro safe dish and heat on high a minute ( or two ) and then whisk smooth, or one can make it the old fashioned way by gently heating glaze ingredients over a double boiler
Assemble:
Cut cake, fill with cream almost to the edges. Don't despair if some custard flows onto the dish.
While the glaze is warm, pour and spread it over the cake.
Garnish if desired. serve at one.

125 grams butter (approx 1/3 cup)
150 grams sugar (approx 1 cup)
1 egg
Rind from one lemon, or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Bouche de Noel For the cake:
1 1/4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
7 large eggs -- separated
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the filling and frosting:
21 ounces bittersweet chocolate -- such as Lindt
1 1/2 cups creme fraiche or heavy cream -- non pasteurized
1/2 cup chestnut puree
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Line a 17 x 11 x 1-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Brush it with melted butter, and dust it with flour.
Prepare the cake:
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together onto a sheet of parchment paper. Beat the egg yolks and 3/4 cup of the sugar with the whisk attachment in an electric mixer until the mixture is thick and lemon colored. Add the dry ingredients at low speed, mixing until just incorporated. Add the vanilla, mix quickly and thoroughly, and set aside (the batter will be quite thick).
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form soft points. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and whisk until the egg whites are glossy and form points that stand up but are not too stiff. Fold one-fourth of the egg whites into the cake batter until they are incorporated, then fold in the remaining egg whites, working quickly. They should be incorporated into the batter, but do not overmix it.
Spread the batter in the prepared pan, and bake until the cake is golden and your finger makes a slight indentation in the top of the cake when you press it, 8 to 10 minutes. While the cake is baking, sift the confectioner's sugar over a clean kitchen towel. Remove the cake from the oven, and immediately invert it onto the sugar-dusted towel. Peel the parchment paper from the cake, and starting from one long side, gently roll the cake up in the towel. Allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
Make the frosting:
Melt the chocolate and the cream together in a medium-sized, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Shake the pan occasionally, and when the chocolate has completely melted, whisk the mixture so it is completely combined. Let it cool to room temperature, so it is thick enough to spread. Transfer 3/4 cup of the chocolate mixture to a small bowl, and whisk in the chestnut puree. Season with vanilla if you like.
When the cake has cooled, unroll it and trim off the edges so it is perfectly even, reserving the trimmings. Spread the filling evenly over the cake to within about 1/8-inch from the edges, and roll the cake back up. Roll the trimmings into spirals, and affix these to the sides of the cake with any leftover filling (usually two "knots" are sufficient!).
Using the frosting, generously frost the cake, including the knots and the ends. Let the cake rest for about 15 minutes, then decorate it, first with the tines of a fork, then with the decorations of your choice. Let sit for at least 8 hours and up to 24 before servings.
NOTES : This is a simple recipe for a wonderful bouche de Noel. The cake
is a bit heartier than the typical genoise, which suits my taste, and the hint of cinnamon gives it an aromatic layer of flavor. You may change and adjust flavorings, drizzle the cake with a rum or a sugar syrup flavored with vanilla after it's cooled, or do any number of things to make it your own.
Bouche de Noel 2Serves 10
6 eggs
1 cup cake flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
Ganache
1 cup powdered sugar
3 Tbsp milk
3 Tbsp flavored liqueur of choice
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
6 oz butter -- (1 1/2 sticks)
unsalted
Beat the eggs for 3-4 minutes on med. high or about 5 minutes by hand. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat well. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the egg stirring to combine well.
Grease a jelly roll pan or baking sheet with sides. Spread with parchment paper, grease and flour the paper in the pan. Then pour in the batter and bake at 400*F until cake is springy when touched with finger., 15-18 minutes.
Sprinkle a kitchen towel with powdered sugar and use the towel to turn out the cake. Roll the cake in the towel starting with the short end. Let cool,then unroll gently so as not to crack the cake and frost inside with ganache or icing.
Roll the cake back up and ice with more ganache or icing and decorate with meringue mushrooms, ivy, cranberries or nuts. For an authentic touch use a kitchen fork to trace "log" lines on the outside of log. You may use lighter colored ganache on the ends to resemble a log.
Bouche de Noel 3from PA, US
Cake Batter
4 eggs, separated
1/2 cup sugar, divided
1/4 cup cake flour
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Butter Cream
4 oz. good quality white
chocolate, melted
1 pound sweet butter, softened out of refrigerator for 1 hour
1 pound SIFTED 10X powdered sugar
4 egg whites
2 tablespoons B&B liqueur
1 tablespoon orange zest, grated
1 teaspoon orange extract
4 oz. good quality dark chocolate, melted
Preheat oven at 425 degrees.
In your clean mixer, beat 4 egg whites and 1/4 cup of sugar until soft peaks form. Transfer to a glass or stainless steel bowl.
In a separate glass bowl, SIFT the flour, cocoa powder and salt.
In your cleaned mixer bowl, combine 4 egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Whisk for approximately 5 minutes until the eggs are pale yellow and thickened. Remove bowl from the mixer and fold in the beaten egg whites gently. Add the flour mixture and mix for one minute until well blended - do not over-mix.
Line a 11" x 17" jelly roll pan with buttered waxed paper. Spread the mixture in the pan and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the cake is springy to touch or it begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Take immediately out of the jelly roll pan and let cool.
In the meantime, make the butter cream. In a double melt the white chocolate or place in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. In a mixing bowl, place the softened butter (not melted, just out of the refrigerator for about 1 hour). Add the 10X sifted powder sugar, mix until well blended. With machine on low speed, slowly add the egg whites, B&B liqueur, orange zest and orange extract. With machine on medium speed, mix until light and fluffy then fold in the white chocolate.
Place a piece of plastic wrap on your table and invert the genoise cake top side down. Carefully remove the wax paper. Cover the entire surface of the cake with an even layer of the butter cream (save some for the outside). Using the plastic wrap as an aid, roll the cake on the long side, tight as a log.
Using a sharp knife, even both ends of the cake with a clean cut. Then cut 2 end pieces approximately 2" at a 45-degree angle. Transfer the rolled cake onto a platter, seam side down. Place the 2" end pieces on the cake to resemble tree stumps. You may use some of the butter cream to make them stick better.
Add the melted dark chocolate to the remaining butter cream. Using a spatula spread the now dark butter cream to cover the entire surface. Using a fork, run lines throughout the entire cake to simulate tree bark. Garnish with some meringue mushrooms and fresh holly.
Bountiful Barley Salad1 1/2 cups raw barley
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup red chopped onion
1/4 cup canned black pitted olives chopped
2 Tbs fresh chopped parsley
2 Tbs fresh chopped basil
1 large red tomato chopped
salt and fresh grated black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika or to taste
Having vegetarian relatives, I experimented and created this colorful delicious salad which got raves. No dressing was needed. Just the seasoning with the feta cheese made a wonderful flavor and colorful salad. Please use fresh herbs, garden tomatoes and smoked paprika for the best flavor.
Rinse barley , drain and cook by package directions ( usually takes about one hour stove top ). Drain , rinse and drain well again.. Place barley in a large serving bowl and add and mix in the remaining ingredients. One may add more of everything to taste. Serve at room temperature or chilled. I was also thinking next time I make this salad to also add cooked roasted corn kernels.
Yield : 8 to 10 servings.

While potatoes are cooking, mash cheese in the bowl and add about a cup of mayonnaise and mix well. Add some olive oil , Dijon mustard, and heated chicken broth and mix until dressing is creamy. Drain potatoes and when warm, peel and slice and add to dressing and mix well until potatoes are covered with dressing and add herbs and onions and mix well.

Boxty
from Tipperary, Ireland
Potato Griddle Cakes, Ireland
Serves 8
1/2 lb Raw potato
1/2 lb Mashed potato
1/2 lb Plain flour
Milk
1 Egg
Salt and pepper
Grate raw potatoes and mix with the cooked mashed potatoes. Add salt, pepper and flour. Beat egg and add to mixture with just enough milk to make a batter that will drop from a spoon. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a hot griddle or frying pan. Cook over a moderate heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve with a tart apple sauce: or as part of an Ulster Fry, with fried bacon, fried sausage, fried eggs, fried black pudding, fried bread, fried soda bread.
An old poem says:
Boxty on the griddle,
boxty in the pan,
if you can't make boxty,
you'll never get a man.
That poem doesn't influence me, however -- as I am a man, myself.
Rory
Braciole3 lbs. Rump roast, trimmed and sliced 1/4 inch thick across grain
Stuffing (see below)
Marinara Sauce (see below)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Brown the slices of beef in a skillet with the olive oil and set aside. Once the slices have been browned, fill with stuffing and hold together with a toothpick. Arrange the rolls in a baking dish and cover with the Marinara sauce. Bake at 375 degrees for 1½ hours and serve.
Stuffing
Use a basic turkey like stuffing as follows:
12 oz. regular bread cubes plus cornbread cubes, with seasoning mix
4 oz. pine-nuts
3 stalks celery
1 diced onion
1 diced apple
First brown the nuts and other ingredients in a saucepan so they soften and the flavors blend. Add the seasoning mix before putting into the bread and add broth as directed. You want medium moisture content.
Marinara Sauce
4 Tbsp. olive oil
4 cloves pressed garlic
1 medium onion, diced
1 Tbsp. oregano
1 Tbsp. sweet basil
1½ tsp. tarragon
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. sage
3 Tbsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. savory
salt & pepper to taste
1 small can tomato paste
32 oz. tomato sauce
16 oz. crushed tomatoes
2 cans Italian style stewed tomatoes or 4 cups fresh chopped roma tomatoes
¾ cup thin 1" slices bell pepper (yellow or red preferred)
1½ cups sliced mushrooms
1 16 oz. can olives, chopped
¾ cup zucchini (optional)
1 tsp. baking soda
1½ Tbsp. brown sugar
½-1 cup red wine
4 to 6 Italian sausages (hot or mild to taste)
In a large pot, pour the olive oil, onions, garlic, and spices. Sauté ingredients to break the flavor. Add tomato paste and continue to sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes and chopped tomatoes. Next, add peppers, mushrooms and chopped olives. Then add baking soda, brown sugar and red wine.
Brown 4-6 Italian sausages in a skillet (I like few hot, few regular), and add them to the sauce. Cook the sauce for at least two hours before serving. This sauce can be used on pasta of any type, or on top of other dishes manicotti. You can double this batch and freeze some for later.
Yields: 12 servings
Preparation Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Bracioline Ripiene
from Chicago, IL
1 pound (8) veal cutlets
3 ounces lean veal, minced
1 1/2 ounces lean prosciutto, minced
1 1/2 ounces veal marrow, ground to a coarse paste (optional; increase the prosciutto if you leave it out. If you do choose to include it (it will give the dish a satiny texture), ask your local butcher for it or check an oriental market)
2/3 Cup grated Parmigiano
1 large egg
salt and pepper to taste
string
a small onion, minced
a small carrot, minced
a 6-inch stick of celery, minced
a slice of pancetta, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
To thin them, pound the cutlets well with a meat pounder or the flat of a wide knife frequently dipped in water.
Mix the remaining veal, the prosciutto, the marrow, and the cheese together, adding the egg last to bind the mixture; season it with a pinch of pepper (salt shouldn't be necessary because of the prosciutto and the Parmigiano). Stretch the cutlets out and spread the mixture over them, then roll them up and tie them with string.
Mince the onion, celery, carrot, and pancetta. Melt the butter in a skillet over a medium flame and, when the onion is lightly browned, add the veal cutlets, seasoning them with salt and pepper.
When the cutlets are browned, add the tomato sauce and a little water (or the wine), cover partially, and simmer them till they're done,15-20 minutes.
Remove the strings before serving.
These stuffed cutlets can also be roasted in the oven. While you're preparing them, preheat the oven to 350 F. Put the cutlets on a rack, baste them with olive oil and salt, and roast them till they're done (about a half hour), turning and basting them once or twice.

Braised Lamb Shanks with Carrots, Leeks, & Coriander Sauce
Recipe By : Hamersley's Bistro/Gordon Hamersley/tpogue@idsonline.com
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : meat
4 8 inch leek
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons oil
3 carrot -- peeled and chopped
3 small garlic clove -- sliced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger -- julienned
2 cups dry red wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon marjoram -- minced fresh
1 blood orange unpeeled -- thinly sliced
2 tablespoons steamed couscous
2 tablespoons parsley -- minced
fresh marjoram sprigs
To Prepare the lamb:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Trim the root ends and cut the tops off the leeks, leaving an 8" length. Split the leeks in half through the root end, cutting 6" toward the top. Rinse well to remove any dirt from between the leaves.
Trim the shanks of all excess fat and season liberally with salt and pepper. In a large saute pan or skillet over high heat, heat the oil and saute the shanks until they are evenly browned all over, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour off any excess fat from the pan.
Add the carrots, leeks, garlic, and ginger to the pan and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Add the wine, stock, coriander seeds, tomato paste, marjoram, and orange, and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover and bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone.
Remove the pan from the oven, arrange the lamb and veggies on a warm serving platter, and place the pan over medium heat. Add the couscous to the juices and stir until the couscous slightly thickens the sauce. Ladle some of the sauce over the meat and veggies, and garnish the platter with the parsley and marjoram sprigs.

I. Braised Vegetables
cooking oil (I normally use 3-4 tablespoons depending on amount of veggies)
1 onion chopped
1 tomato chopped
1/2 tsp Tumeric
2 Red chillies
salt to tast
Braise onion in oil until light brown. Add chillies, tomato, turmeric, salt and let it simmer until oil appears on top. Then add vegetables. Cook until desired tenderness.
Vegetables can be cabbage, cauliflower, green beans or sugar beans. (If using sugar beans, add 1 dessert spoon ((soup spoon in the US)) of Masala, no chillies and 1 dessert spoon of lemon juice.) Although you may be tempted to add water, DON'T.

Brandade de Morue
from Nice, France
Brandade de Morue
Morue is cod, and the brandade de morue is a cod fish-paste.
You'll find it at a few restaurants, usually very good, and
sometimes available in cans at the grocery store.
This dish is an excellent Provencal starter course.
Recipe (4 people)

lettuce (1 head)
tomatoes (4)
pine nuts (pignons) (30 g)
black olives
olive oil
bread (fresh baguette)
herbes de provence (especially thyme)
Wash the lettuce and the tomatoes. Cut the lettuce into short strips and quarter the tomatoes.
Mix the lettuce with a light amount of olive-oil. Put a bed of lettuce on individual salad
plates, add a few black olives and sprinkle on some pine nuts. Slice and toast the bread, 3
or 4 per person. Put a generous helping of the fish paste on the hot-toasted bread, and place
on the lettuce. Put the tomatoe quarters around the toast. Sprinkle some herbes de provence
on the fish paste, and serve.
Brandade de Morue 2
from Brittany, France
1 lb Cod fillet (fresh, unsalted)
1 cup extravirgin Olive Oil
1 cup Milk
1 garlic clove
Wash and clean the Cod fillet, taking care to take out all bones. Put it in a food processor (blender) and reduce to a mash.
In a heavy bottom frying pan, pour a couple of tbls of the Olive oil and put over low heat with the garlic clove. Into two(2) separate saucepans, warm up the remaining Olive oil(in one) and the milk (in the other).
Add the mashed Cod fillet to the frying pan with the garlic and start whisking with a wooden spoon, adding one tbls of the warm Olive oil followed by one tbls of the warm milk, whilst you keep turning the mixture, until all liquid has been used and absorbed. You should now have a creamy, warm, mash-looking lot in the pan. Season with salt & black-pepper (if you want) and serve with boiled potatoes and toasted garlic bread.
Buon Appetito!!!!!
Brandied Pineapple and Ice Cream Dessert
from NY, USA
1 large ripe golden pineapple
brandy to taste
brown sugar to taste
cinnamon to taste
Vanilla ice cream
This simple dessert looks spectacular when served on a platter and the flavors blend ever so deliciously.
Cut through the pineapple and leaves with a sharp knife to halve pineapple ( with leaves on ) vertically. With a sharp knife cut out the meat of the pineapple being careful not to cut through the shell. Dice the fruit ( discard tougher inner core ), place into a bowl and add some brandy ( probably 1/2 cup or less, sweeten with some brown sugar, add about 1/2 tsp cinnamon or to taste ) and marinade the fruit about 1 hour before serving. Arrange the empty pineapple shells on a large platter and chill. When ready to serve: heap the fruit in 1 shell and scoop about 4 ice cream balls in the other shell. Serve immediately suggesting to guests to place the ice cream on their fruit plates first and then top with some of the brandied pineapple. Serve 4.

Brasilian Chicken in Piri Piri SauceServes 6
1 roasting chicken
Marinade
8 garlic cloves, crushed
1 pinch salt
juice of 2 lemons
1 teaspoon bay leaf powder
2 teaspoons paprika
2 tablespoons softened butter
pinch salt
Piri Piri sauce
4 tablespoons ground piri-piri pepper
100 ml olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
Mix all ingredients for the marinade together. If you find it annoying crushing up the garlic you can buy it pre-crushed from the shops.
Using a sharp knife, cut chicken into six pieces so that you have the breast and lower part of the chicken as well as the 4 drumsticks and wings, (visualize the look of the chicken at Nando's). Cut off any excess fat but leave most of the skin as it will add to the flavor. Make several small incisions into the chicken to later help it absorb the marinade. Soak the chicken well in the marinade and allow it to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile mix the Piri Piri seasoning with the lemon juice and the oil. You can find Piri Piri seasoning easily from the shops and it saves you having to chop if 10-12 red chillies and chop up a bay leaf and such, just makes the process a lot simpler. Also add a pinch of salt.
Preheat the grill and insert the chicken. Bask the chicken frequently with any excess marinade.Turn the chicken frequently and make sure it doesn't burn. Cook for approximately 30 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the grill/BBQ and allow it to cool before lathering it in the Piri Piri sauce. Serve with potatoes and what ever else you desire. Charcoal grill or BBQ preferred but gas grill works almost as well.
Brasilian Coffee4 cups hot chocolate
1 1/2 cups strong coffee
1 cup brandy or rum
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped with 1 teaspoon sugar
Heat the chocolate, coffee and brandy or rum together. Fold in whipped cream (or place a spoonful on top of each serving).

Just use the ingredients as needed.
1/2 loaf sliced bread
4 oz butter (approx)
4 oz sugar (approx)
Raisins
2 pints milk
2 Eggs
Nutmeg to taste
Spread the bread with butter on both sides. Line the inside of a large
ovenproof dish with buttered bread. Cover with a sprinkling of sugar and a
sprinkling of raisins, and then another layer of buttered bread. Repeat
until the dish is full (or until you think there is enough). Heat 1 pint
of milk until it is hand-hot, and mix in the eggs. Pour this mixture over
the bread, and top up with cold milk until the bread is just covered.
Sprinkle a final layer of sugar and (if desired) nutmeg on the top. If
possible, leave to stand for at least 1/2 hour, so the milk soaks into the
bread. Cook for 1.5 hours at Gas Mark 4 / 170'C / 340'F.

Bread and Butter Pudding from the Dorcester Hotel
I'm enjoying this digest tremendously so it's about time i post a recipe.
I made this pudding for friends last Friday; as hot puddings are unknown here, they looked rather puzzled at first but they all loved it! In our family we also call it "old men's pudding" as you don't need teeth for this :-}
Groetjes from Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

Bread Bowl Varietyfrom New Jersey, USA
Bread Bowl Variety
You can use any bread recipe you want. I usually use this simple one:
Dissolve 2 packets of active yeast (4 1/2 t) in warm (~ body temp) water. Add one cup all purpose flour & one cup wheat flour. Mix until smooth. Keep adding flour (alternating all purpose and wheat) and mixing until very hard to mix. (about 2-3 cups) Turn out on a floured board. Knead until flour is smooth & not sticky - you will need to add more flour - another 1 1/2 - 2 cups, try to divide evenly between all purpose & whole wheat. Roll the kneaded dough in a ball. Put in a lightly oiled bowl & turn to coat the whole surface with oil.
Cover & let rise in a warm place until doubled (1 to 1 1/2 hours). Punch down. Let rest 10 minutes. Divide in 4-6 smaller balls, & put them on cookie sheets. Flatten them in disks & let rise about another hour. If desired, brush with egg white (I usually don't) Cook at 375, 40-50 minutes. Bread should sound hollow when thumped. Remove from oven & let cool.
Here's the tricky part. You will have 4-6 round loaves. Cut a circle out of the top of each loaf, & remove that piece of crust. You will have a thick crust bread with a circle of exposed softer bread. Smush down the inner part (you can scoop out the bread if you want to, but I prefer to leave the bread to soak
up the gravy).This works great for stews and chili. If you don't let the circles rise you should get flatter loaves for 'trenchers', but I haven't tried it yet.
Here are some other ideas for making bread bowls:
Cornbread Bowls: Coat a baking sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Invert 2 (10-oz) custard cups several inches apart on baking sheet; coat outside of cups with cooking spray. Separate 1 (11.5-ounce) can refrigerated corn bread twists at perforations. Flatten each strip to a 2" width. Cover the outside of each custard cup with strips, cutting away excess and moistening edges as needed to seal strips together. Bake at 400 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on
a wire rack before removing from baking sheet. Remove bowls from cups. Use to serve stews or chili.
French Bread Bowls: Coat a baking sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Invert 2 (10-oz) custard cups several inches apart on baking sheet; coat outside of cups with cooking spray. Unroll 1 (11-oz) can refrigerated crusty French bread dough. Cut crosswise in 2 portions. Mold 1 portion of dough around outside of custard cup, allowing edges to extend straight on baking sheet on 2 sides. Cut each long extended edge of dough from center to 1/2" from custard cup, forming 2 flaps.
Cross flaps & fold back over custard cup. Repeat procedure with remaining portion of dough & second custard cup. Bake at 400 10 minutes. Cool 5 minutes; remove bread from custard cups & baking sheet. Invert on a wire rack; cool
completely. Use for serving chicken, tuna, & vegetable salads or thick stews.
Puff Pastry Bowls: Thaw 1 (17.25-oz) package frozen puff pastry sheets. Coat a baking sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Invert 2 (10-oz) custard cups several inches apart on baking sheet; coat outside of cups with cooking spray. Mold 1 puff pastry sheet around outside of cup, allowing edges to extend out from bowl on baking sheet. Trim edges of dough, leaving a 1 1/2" rim around bowl on baking sheet. Repeat procedure with remaining puff pastry sheet & cup. Bake at 400 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before removing pastry from baking sheet. Remove bowls from custard cups. Use for serving pudding, fruit salad, or a thick stew. Yield: 2 (10-oz) bowls.
Phyllo Bowls: Thaw 8 sheets frozen phyllo dough. Coat a baking sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Invert 2 (10-oz) custard cups several inches apart on baking sheet; coat outside of cups with cooking spray. Cut phyllo sheets in half crosswise. Layer 8 half sheets on 1 custard cup, coating top
of each with cooking spray and turning slightly so that corners of pastry fan out on baking sheet. Mold phyllo dough as previously described. Repeat procedure with remaining 8 half sheets on second custard cup. Bake bowls at 400 7 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before removing from baking sheet. Remove bowls from cups. Use for serving fruit or vegetable salads. Yield: 2 (10-ounce) bowls.
Won ton Wrapper Bowls: Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 4" in a Dutch oven; heat oil to 350. Place 1 won ton wrapper on the surface of oil. Immediately submerge wrapper in oil by pressing the wrapper down in the center with the bottom of a wire whisk or bowl of a small ladle (bottom should be 1 to 1 1/2" in diameter). Fry 1 minute or until golden. Remove with tongs; drain upside down on paper towels. Use for serving salad dressings, dips, or sauces.
Sourdough Bread Bowls: There are two ways to make them, using either 20 eight-oz
sourdough bread loaves or ten 1-pound round sourdough bread loaves. If using 20 eight-oz bread loaves, cut off tops. Using small knife, cut out centers, leaving 1" shell. Or, use 10 one-pound loaves, cutting each horizontally in half. Cut off thin slice from top half of each loaf. Turn top of loaf trimmed side down. Cut out center of top & bottom halves, leaving 1" shell. Reserve trimmings for another use. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature.) Preheat oven to 400. Brush insides of bread bowls with melted butter.
Place bread bowls on oven racks. Bake until crusty and brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer bread bowls to wire rack to cool. Great for serving chili. Yield: 20 bowls.
Bread Bowl Italian
1 lb. sweet Italian sausage
1 med. onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 1/2c. any pasta sauce
1 large round Italian bread
1c (4 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 400F
Spray a large skillet with veg. oil spray. Brown sausage thoroughly on all sides; continue to cook until sausage is done. Remove and slice sausage, drain fat, sauté onion & peppers until tender. Return sausage to pan; add sauce. Cover and simmer until heated through.
Meanwhile, horizontally slice & remove the top third of bread loaf. Hollow out bottom of loaf, leaving a 3/4" shell. Place on baking sheet; fill with sausage mixture. Evenly top with cheese. Bake 15 minutes or until bubbly. Place top of bread on loaf. Slice in wedges. Serves 6.
Bread Bowl BBQ
1 bottle BBQ sauce (or sloppy Joe sauce)
1 loaf Italian bread
8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
Brown the meat, drain thoroughly. Add the BBQ sauce (or sloppy Joe sauce, ) & simmer 5 to 10 minutes. While this mixture is simmering, cut the loaf the long way leaving it bigger on the bottom than on the top. Hollow out the bread leaving a sturdy shell. (Removed bread can be tucked in a zip lock baggie & put in the freezer. Save for making bread crumbs...)
Spoon the meat mixture in the shell, then top with the cheese. Cover with the top part of the loaf. Wrap in tin foil, place on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 20 minutes, until bread is crusty & cheese is melted.

Brenda's Belgian EndivesOK, I'm feeling a little guilty and felt I should submit a recipe or two. Here
goes...I made this first one up. I had some leftover potatoe soup and used it
as a sauce.
Brenda's Belgian Endives
Cut each Endive in half lengthwise and saute cut side down in equal parts
butter and olive oil (1/2 tsp each, to prevent butter from burning) on medium
heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
Transfer Endives to baking dish. Sprinkle fresh cut corn off the cob over
Endives. Pour cream of Potatoe soup over Endives and corn. [If time permits
(and you feel a little adventurous), blend 1 to 2 cups mashed potatoes with 1/4
cup cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup (or more) chicken stock to make smooth sauce.]
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake in 350! oven for 20-30 minutes or until tender. After removing from oven
sprinkle with chives and serve.

Bric-a-brac Casserole
from Sydney, Australia
Bric-a-brac Casserole
This is the only useful thing I have ever thought of that uses creamed corn. You are by no means limited by the suggested ingredients. Anything would suit virtually. It's what happens the night before the shopping gets done and there is no food left in the house.
2 tbs butter
2tbs plain flour
1 cup milk
First make a masking sauce, by melting the butter in a saucepan, stir in the the flour. Do not let it burn. add the cup of milk and stir until it boils, allow to thicken on standing.
Saute some vegetables in a little butter or oil.(things like onions, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, whatever you like). Add some creamed corn or some cream of something soup. Add some tuna or salmon or cooked chicken. You could even add some hardboiled eggs if you've got some that are getting old but are not off yet. Fold through the masking sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
This is really good on toasted sandwiches, on toast, even with buttered noodles or rice. The beauty of it is you can easily use whatever you have to gte rid of in a hurry.

Brie Bread Bowl Dip1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sugar
1 round soft bread such as sourdough, Italian, French, 1 lb.
1 Tbs. butter
1 8-oz wheel of brie cheese
Mix seasonings and set aside. Cut out a hollow from center of bread and remove bread center to make room for the Brie. Spread butter on the bread and sprinkle 2 tsp of the seasoning. With knife make 2 inch cuts at one inch intervals around the bread. Remove rind from Brie and place into bread.
Sprinkle Brie with the remaining seasonings. Replace top of bread. Place on baking sheet and bake 350F about 30 minutes. To serve, remove top of bread and break into bite size pieces. Dip bread into the hot brie.
Yield 8 servings.
Brie with Smoked Salmon and Dill1 lg. round of Brie cheese
Smoked salmon with black peppercorns ( 8 oz or as desired )
Fresh Dill, chopped
This makes a superb appetizer and possibly a very expensive one too. I usually try to get the smoked salmon and cheese on sale if I can. Smoked salmon freezes well.
Score the Brie around the edges into three layers. Then separate into 3 rounds using dental floss. Then place slices of smoked salmon evenly to cover the layers and sprinkle with the dill. Press some chopped dill over top of the Brie. Wrap the whole cheese carefully in plastic wrap for 24 hours to mingle flavors. To serve , carefully cut Brie into wedges.
Note: serves 12 or more. For a smaller appetizer use a smaller round of Brie and less salmon and dill.
Note: I prefer to always remove the top rind of the Brie as I don't care for the rind.
BrigadeiroThis candy is named after a reknowned brazilian politician of the 1920's, Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes. He was an Army brigadier general who first gained notoriety for playing a part in quashing a communist coup in Rio. He later ran unsuccessfuly for the presidency in 1946 and 1950, during a brief breeze of democracy which blew after WWII.
The name of the candy is that of his rank, Brigadeiro.
Now, why would anyone name candy after an army general?
Well, back in 1922, he was tall, dark-haired with blue eyes. AND SINGLE!!!
Having been born half a century too late, I am left to dream about the general and eat candy. :-((
But you guys can enjoy the recipe.

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 can sweetened condensed milk -- (395g)
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon butter -- sof
1 package chocolate sprinkles
In a heavy saucepan, mix the milk, cocoa and butter. Stir to dissolve the
chocolate. Put over low heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring and cooking until you are able to see the bottom of the pot when you tilt the pan(the mixture will just slide quickly). This should take 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a greased plate. Let cool. Butter your hands and roll the mixture into small balls and roll over the chocolate sprinkles.
Variations: you can substitute the cocoa powder for 100g baking chocolate. If you want a lighter candy use powdered chocolate(such as quick). You can also put raisins or nuts in the center of the candy. You can decorate with powdered sugar instead, or cocoa powder.
Brined and Roasted Turkeyfrom New York, USA
1, 15 to 20 lb fresh turkey
Herbal Brine:
2 gallons of water
1 1/4 cups kosher salt
4 1/2 cup sugar
several fresh sprigs each:
parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, dill, tarragon
1 tsp each:
whole black peppercorns, juniper berries, fennel seed, mustard seed, cardamom pods, cloves
several bay leaves
2 large lemon sliced
The idea of a brine is to impart flavor as well as keep the meat moist. I have used the brine method before but it is sometimes inconvenient in preparation because the brine container takes up space in the refrigerator.
In a large pot combine everything and bring to a boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Let cool completely to room temperature.
Find a container large enough which will hold the turkey and the brine and fit in your refrigerator.!!
Often the very large oven roasting bags could suffice. However I got my large plastic container ( it held pickles or some such thing ) from a local gourmet food store .
Place the turkey in the container and cover with the cooled brine. Make sure the entire turkey is covered - or turn on occasion if needed . Keep covered in the brine for 2 days. Then drain turkey ( do not rinse ) and pat dry- make sure you remove any whole spices etc..
Stuff turkey if you wish. Place turkey in roaster pan and rub down skin with melted butter or margarine. Season if you wish.
Use an oven thermometer for the best cooking guide. Roast 350F until turkey is done. I usually roast 15 minute per pound unstuffed and 20 minutes per lb if stuffed . I also use the insta-read thermometer to test. Baste turkey frequently with pan juices.
Notes: because of the sugar content, the turkey will turn golden before it is done cooking. So use a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil to cover if browning too quickly. Let turkey sit 30 minutes before carving. Yield: one beautiful browned and moist turkey.
Use kosher salt ( it is a coarse easily dissolving salt- found easily at most supermarkets )

Broccoli Cheese Soup
Brocolli Cheese Soup
This is a rich, hearty and delicous soup that I based on a
basic cream of brocolli soup.
4 QTS Chicken Stock
1 LARGE head of Brocolli
1 Small Bulb (not clove) of Garlic
1/2 PINT Heavy Cream
1/2 LB gruyere Cheese, shredded
1/2 whole nutmeg, pulverized
1 TBLSPOON White Pepper
Dash of Tobasco Sauce
1/2 CUP Flour
1/2 CUP Butter
Cut brocolli into small pieces, and peel the garlic cloves from
the bulb. Steam for about 20 minutes until fully cooked and soft.
In a large stock/soup pot prepare a roux using the Flour & Butter,
do not darken past a light blonde color. Over a medium heat slowly
add the chicken stock, a cup at a time until all the stock is
incorporated.
Place the brocolli and garlic in a blender and puree. Add the
brocolli puree to the stock. Add the nutmeg, pepper, and tobasco
sauce and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.
Slowly add the shredded cheese and stir until melted. Add the
heavy cream while stirring. Allow this to cook for another 10
minutes.
Serve Hot.
A couple of hints: retain some whole brocolli pieces, if you like.
use a different cheese if you prefer.
a good homemade stock is really the secret here.
Chicken Stock:
I use a basic chicken soup recipe:
1 WHOLE Chicken
2 MED yellow onions, cut
4 carrots, cut
4 celery stalks, cut
celery leaves from celery heart
4 plum tomatoes, cut
1/2 a parsley bunch
Bay Leaf
2 TBLSPOON Salt
2 TBLSPOON Sugar
Combine all ingredients in a large stock pot and simmer for 4-6 hours.
Serve as soup with all the veggies/chicken or strain for a marvelous
chicken stock suitable for freezing.

Broiled Oriental Swordfish
from New Jersey, USA
Broiled Oriental Swordfish
2 T. fresh lemon juice
2 T. soy sauce
1 T. olive oil
1 T. ginger, freshly minced
1 clove garlic, peeled & finely minced
1/2 lb. swordfish steak, cut 1 1/4 to 1 1/2" thick
2 scallions, thinly sliced on diagonal
1 lemon, cut in half
Combine lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger & garlic in a bowl. Marinate fish in mixture
1 hour in refrigerator, turning occasionally. Remove from marinade, scrape off the ginger &
garlic that clings. Strain marinade, reserving liquid.
Preheat broiler. Put swordfish on a lightly oiled, flat broiling dish. Brush with reserved
marinade. Broil fish, 4" from heat, to desired degree of doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Do
not overcook. Sprinkle with scallions, garnish with lemon halves. Serve immediately. Serves 2.
Broiled Trout
from New Jersey, USA
Broiled Trout
On occasion I have been the happy recipient of freshly caught
trout. These splendid small fish can be served in a large number
of ways, but broiling is a good choice. Allow one fish per
person.
trout salt
olive oil lemon wedges and juice
fresh tarragon butter
Scale and wash the fish, and make sure the inside is well
cleaned. Cut off the head, and either cut around all fins,
or remove them. Pat dry. Very lightly salt the inside, and
place several sprigs of fresh tarragon inside each fish
(optional). Coat very lightly with olive oil, or oil of
your choice. This will keep them from drying out and also
prevent their sticking to the broiler pan. Broil for 3-4
minutes per side, turning carefully. Make certain the fish
is cooked thru, but not dried out. Remove tarragon before
serving. This method works well for many varieties, both
large and small. Filleting small fish after cooking is
much easier, allows one to get rid of all the small bones,
and reserves the flesh for eating rather than ending up
on the cutting board.
To fillet after cooking, carefully lift the skin starting
at the head end. Loosen the skin all the way across, then
lift and pull it down the length of the fish. It should
come off in one piece if properly cooked. Now starting at
the top again, lift under the backbone with a fork, and
guide with a table knife, down the length of the fish to
remove the backbone from the lower fillet, while turning
the top fillet away from you to the plate beside the
bottom fillet. If done smoothly and quickly, the fillet
will not break apart. Good luck here, that is the trickiest
part!
And the bigger the fish, the more deft one must be. A fish
server is helpful but not necessary. Now lift the backbone
with its attached small bones up from the inside of this
top fillet. If properly cooked, they will all be removed.
Now turn the lower fillet carefully and remove the skin.
Dress these lovely little fillets with a bit of lemon butter,
or plain lemon and enjoy!
I like to serve broil trout or any sweet small fish fillets
with lightly seasoned rice, or boiled new potatoes, and a
mixed fresh vegetable dish, such as green or yellow beans,
with carrots and peas or pea pods. A salad with a light
creamy dressing is better than too strong a vinaigrette which
can take away from the delicate flavor of the fish. Finish
with a citrus sherbet, or mixed fresh fruit containing citrus,
and you'll have a meal worth remembering for a long time.
Broiled Trout with Tarragon and Lime
from New Jersey, USA

tarragon, parsley and lime with trout. Broil trout about 4" from heat source
until skin is brown, about 5 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully turn trout
over and broil until trout are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Arrange

Brownie Crackle-top Cookies
from US
1-1/2 cups (6-1/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups (10-1/2 ounces) sugar
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
6 Tbsp (3/4 stick, 3 ounces) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
3/4 cup (2-1/4 ounces) cocoa powder, Ghiradelli preferred
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (may use mini's)
3/4 cup (3 ounces) confectioners' sugar, for coating cookies
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed. Set aside.
Scrape the melted butter into a smaller bowl with a spatula and add the cocoa powder. Stir until combined and no lumps remain. Mix vanilla extract with eggs, then whisk into cocoa butter mixture.
Add wet mixture to dry flour mixture and mix thoroughly. It will eventually reach the consistency of stiff brownie batter. Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate dough for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with silpat baking liners or parchment paper. (If you do not line the baking sheets, be sure to lightly grease them.)
Pour confectioners' powdered sugar into a small bowl. Scoop dough by teaspoons, roll into balls, and drop into powdered sugar, rolling around to cover completely. Place on prepared baking sheets 1-1/2 inches apart.
Bake cookies for 12 to 15 minutes. The cookies will spread, puff a bit, and form cracks. The longer you cook them, the more crispy they will become. Let cool 10 minutes on the cookie sheets before using a spatula to remove to racks and cool completely. Store in a covered container.
Yield: about 3 to 4 dozen cookies, depending on size

Brownie Sugar Cake
from NY, USA
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 stick butter or margarine melted
4 heaping Tbs. of baking cocoa
1 cup water
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk
Experimenting with a common chocolate cake recipe , we liked the results. One can use all white granulated sugar instead of all brown sugar. The white sugar cake comes out darker in color and the texture is also a bit different. However both versions are very tasty. I did not use any baking soda in the recipes.
Stir together the sugar and flour with cinnamon and baking powder in a large bowl and set aside. In a sauce pot add the melted butter or margarine , baking cocoa, oil and water and cook over medium heat and stir and bring to a full boil. Immediately remove from heat and pour over dry ingredients and beat on low speed to mix well. Add eggs, vanilla and buttermilk and mix well with mixer. Pour into a well greased large fluted bundt pan. Bake 325F about 50 to 60 minutes or until top springs back and cake tester comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool in pan 15 minutes and invert and remove. Let cool completely. Chill covered overnight before serving. Sprinkle with powder sugar if desired. Freezes well.
Note. if desired one may pour a chocolate icing over the cooled cake if desired.

For this you will need white bread, a pack of mixed bug shaped lollies and
milo. First, spread your slices of bread with margerine or butter. Then,
sprinkle the buttered slices with milo until completely coated. Carefully
stick the bugs firmly into the milo and place remaining slice of bread on
top. Voila! you have bugs in dirt sandwhiches!
Bulgoki
from Austin, Tx
1 1/3 lb sirloin tip roast or rump roast (cut when partially thawed so you can obtain *very* thin slices)
6 Tbsp. sugar
2 green onions, minced
1/4 tsp. garlic powder or minced garlic
3 tsp. sesame oil
3 Tbsp. sesame seed (Korean- roased and crushed. These must be crushed to release the proper flavor.)
1 1/2 tsp. pepper
6 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/3 cup water
Cut meat in thin slices (when partially thawed as explained before).
Mix meat with sugar. Add remaining ingredients.
Marinate (cover and chill) for 4 hours to a day.
** Recommended marinating time is at least a day. The flavor
is wonderful and strong.
Stir fry until brown in large skillet (or cook and stir in a round heavy
casserole dish on top of the stove).
Serve over rice.
Bulgoki 2
from UK
2 Lbs Beef Sirloin Tips -- cut into pieces
1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
6 Tbs Sugar
6 Green Onions
2 Cloves Garlic -- minced
4 Tbs Sesame Oil
1 Tbs Sesame Seeds
Mix it all together and marinate at least 2 hours. Can either cook it on the grill as kebabs or stir-fry by itself. Enjoy.
When I don't have sirloin tips, I use flank steak and it tastes just as
good. Also, I substitute hot pepper sesame oil and also add cayenne pepper for more kick. The sugar allows the beef to caramelize a little (I tried using cane sugar once but it didn't caramelize).
NOTES: Just tried this recipe recently (4 or 5 times) and it is absolutely wonderful.

1 Teaspoon Turmeric
1/2 Teaspoon Red Pepper
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Sesame Oil
1 Can Stewed Tomatoes -- chopped
1 Stalk Lemon Grass -- chopped
1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce
2 Cups Rice -- cooked
Place onion, garlic, ginger root, turmeric and red pepper in blender and a drop of olive oil (just enough to moisten). Cover and blend until smooth, 1 minutes.

Burmese Tomato Saladfrom Neversink, NY
4-5 tomatoes, de-seeded and sliced
1 T turmeric and garlic oil
1 small onion, sliced very thin and rinsed in cold water
1 T sesame seeds, toasted
½ c cabbage, shredded very finely
1 lime juice
½ c peanuts, chopped
1 bunch coriander (cilantro) roughly chopped
salt or fish sauce to taste
Method:
Prepare all the ingredients and toss them together with your clean hands at the last moment possible before serving. Fresh green chilis can also be added for those who love spiciness. This salad makes a nice base for many other salads. I have successfully added avocados, chicken, blanched broccoli and green beans. More or less cabbage can be added depending on your needs. A very nutritious salad with the sesame seeds and peanuts providing extra protein and fat. Absolutely delicious. Green tomatoes can be substituted for ripe ones for a Shan-style salad.

Bushman's Roast Lamb Dinnerfrom Australia
6/8/10 Lamb Lion Chops cut 1" Thick
Tomato Sauce or Ketchup if you're from anywhere else
Salt
Pepper
Spice Options: Lamb Seasoning or Oregano or none
This recipe is supposed to be a couple of hundred years old and was what Australian bushmen did in place of a roast dinner when times where hard and they could not afford to by roasting meat.
Place chops on a flat cooking tray
Salt & Pepper to taste
Sprinkle spices on for a slight change in taste
Pour Tomato Sauce onto each chop and thinly cover (Using finger works best and washing finger makes meal taste even better!)
Do not turn over!
Place in moderate oven for 45/60 minutes turning up heat for last 10 minutes to just give a tinge of burn (improves taste dramatically if you get it right!)
Take from oven and put on paper towel to remove excess fat (lamb is fatty --- )
serve hot with your favourites: mash potato, roast potatoes, carrots, peas, etc, etc.
This will be one of the simplest and best tasting lamb dinners ever if you can get it right!

Categories : Halloween Holidays
Morbids Main Dishes
1 Package rigatoni pasta (10oz)
2 Cans squirtable cheese spread
1 Small Jar barbecue sauce
16 to 20 whole black peppercorns
1 carrot
Cook pasta according to directions on package. Rinse the pasta in cold water.
To make snakes:Covering one end of the rigatoni with your finger (to prevent leakage), carefully fill each piece of pasta with cheese spread. Place six to eight cheese-filled rigatonis end to end on a serving platter, in a realistically curvy snake shape. Using a toothpick, spread lines of barbecue sauce along the top of each snake for markings. To form heads, use barbecue sauce to glue two black peppercorn eyes onto the end opposite the tail of each snake. Wash, dry and carefully peel skin off carrot.
When completely clean of skin,make one more peeling for each snake you have formed. At the narrow end of each peel, carefully cut out a long, thin triangle. These are your snakes forked tongues. Position tongues.
Butter Beans with Bacon and MustardHi Dave
Another recipe for your club .........
BUTTER BEANS WITH BACON AND MUSTARD
Nothing in the cupboard but a can of butter beans? Tizzy them up with bacon and mustard in this great little recipe, adapted from Nigel Slater's new 30-minute cook book and printed in this morning's Natal Mercury in Durban by our cookery writer Janis Fraser - so I haven't tried it - until tonight!
Drain a 400g can of butter beans and place in a sieve and rinse under the cold tap. Cut 4 rashers of streaky bacon into strips and fry in a tablespoon of butter (or olive oil if preferred). Add a small finely chopped onion and cook gently until soft and golden. Pour off any excess fat and add half a glass of dry white wine and a teaspoon of Balsamic vinegar.
Boil to reduce by half and add the beans. Heat through until simmering and add a quarter of cup cream and a tablespoon each of grainy and mild made mustard.
Cook gently for a minute or two and stir in 4 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese, adjust the seasoning to suit you and serve over crispy toast.
Enjoy - this is a good Sunday night supper or any night for that matter!!

Butter Bowtie Cookies
from Chicago, IL
1 pound (450g.)sweet (unsalted) butter,
1 cup (240mL) sugar,
4 hard-boiled egg yolks, finely crumbled
4 cups (920mL) white flour,
1 ½ teaspoons (7mL) vanilla extract.
Thoroughly mix the butter, sugar, egg-yolks and vanilla extract, then slowly mix in the flour and knead. If the mixture appears to be too liquid, add a little flour.
Place the kneaded ball into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Roll out the mixture on a board until about ¼ inch thick (about 7mm) - this is the thickness of a standard pencil.
Cut strips about ¼inch wide and 6 inches (150mm) long, and twist into a figure-eight, like a pretzel.
Break an egg, and smear the bow-ties. Sprinkle with colored sugar. (Alternatively, you may sprinkle with poppy seed instead).
Place on baking tray and insert into oven preheated to 350°F (180C) for 20 to 25 minutes.
Watch carefully towards the end as the cookies burn very easily.
Butter Cookies
BUTTER COOKIES --- from Esther Murray
Introduction: The following recipe is actually for two different kinds of
butter cookies made with essentially the same dough. The first is a thin,
plain round, very buttery, sugar(or cinnamon/sugar, or cinnamon/sugar plus
ground almonds) topped butter cookie. The second is a chocolate swirl cookie
made by mixing a chocolate flavored thin layer of dough in with the plain
dough and then rolling it into a log before cutting cookie slices from the
log. The resulting cookies is heavier and has a chocolate swirl running
through it as the cookie top is really the cross-section of the log.
Needless to say, one doesn't have to make the chocolate cookie.
This cookie recipe is derived from the "Butter Cookie(MUERBE)" recipe to be
found in the settlement cookbook. The original recipe follows the "Esther"
recipe.
The critical thing to understand about this cookie is that the flour to
butter proportions are WRONG. The best cookie batches are made with the
least amount of flour. I believe I have achieved levels of below 4 cups to
the pound of butter!. The problem with reducing the flour level is that it
becomes increasing difficult to roll out the dough without it sticking to
the rolling pin and breaking up. Also, since the cookies are rolled very
thin you can only work a small piece of dough at a time. Since the round
shape (made with an ordinary glass) leaves much unused dough one has to
constantly rework the dough as it is becoming increasingly unmanageable.
Using floor on the board and the rolling pin helps but also adds flour to
the cookies. THE BEST TECHNIQUE I HAVE FOUND IS TO TRY AND KEEP THE DOUGH AS
COLD AS POSSIBLE WHILE WORKING IT. Ideally a permanently chilled marble
cookie board (maybe with a marble rolling pin that could be kept iced) would
work best. The cookies will "rise" slightly so rolling them pretty thin is
critical. The chocolate swirl guys are less of a problem because they are
cut from a log and require less rolling. But then, they are not as delicate
as the rounds.
I. Esther's Butter Cookies
1 lb butter
1 cup sugar
yolks of 2 eggs
1 whole egg
rind and juice of 1/2 lemon
6 cups flour (SEE ABOVE)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup almonds chopped fine
1. Cream butter, add sugar, then eggs(slightly beaten).
2. Add rind of lemon and flour mixed with baking powder (WITH ONLY ENOUGH
FLOUR TO HANDLE.)
3. Take off 1/3 of dough and chill the remainder for several hours.
4. Roll out chilled dough to approximately 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out
cookies with cookie cutter or water glass.
5. Brush cookie tops with white of eggs, sprinkle each cookie with chopped
almonds and a little granulated sugar. Cookies should be on slightly greased
(buttered) cookies sheet.
6. Bake in moderate oven (about 350 degrees) for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Until they "look" done--- slightly golden to brown. The lighter the better.
Cool on rack.
Chocolate Swirl Cookies
7. To the remaining 1/3 of dough---melt a square of Baker's (Semi-sweet?)
chocolate with a teaspoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a double
boiler. Cool slightly and mix a small part of the dough into the chocolate
mixture.
8. Roll out remaining dough on waxed paper. Spread chocolate flavored dough
mixture on top of the rolled out dough so that it covers virtually the
entire surface. Roll up lengthwise and chill for several hours or overnight.
9. Slice into thin cookies (heavier than the ones above), brush with egg
white and bake at 350 as above.
>From "The Settlement Cookbook" page 472, 1951 edition:
No. 1 BUTTER COOKIES (MUERBE)
1 lb. butter

1 cup almonds chopped fine
Cream butter, add sugar, then the yolks of eggs, slightly beaten; add rind
of lemon juice or brandy, then lemon juice and only enough flour mixed with
the baking powder to handle. Chill dough several hours, then roll; cut with
small biscuit cutter, brush with white of eggs; sprinkle with sugar and

Butter Pecan Rolls
Hello again, Dave. I've been enjoying everyone's recipes and feeling guilty for
not contributing more, so as I was paying off a job done by middle son with a
batch of these - I thought I would send it along. I don't know the origin; all
I can tell you is that I never have any left... These rolls can be frozen and
reheated beautifully.
I think this recipe originally was from a Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, but
I can't be sure - I've been making these for over 20 years. The recipe can be
doubled successfully (yielding 2 sheet cake pans or 32 rolls).
1 cake compressed yeast (1 envelope may be used)
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1 cup milk, scalded
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 beaten egg
filling and topping (See recipes below)
Soften yeast in lukewarm water. Combine next 4 ingredients; cool to lukewarm.
Add 1 cup of the flour; beat well. Beat in yeast and egg. Gradually add
remaining flour to form a soft dough; beat well. Brush top lightly with soft
shortening; cover and let rise in warm place until double (1 1/2 to 2 hours).
Punch down; turn out on lightly floured surface and divide dough in half. Roll
each piece in 12 x 8 rectangle.
FILLING:
Brush each rectangle with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Combine 1/2 cup sugar
and 2 tsps cinnamon; sprinkle half over each rectangle.
Roll each rectangle as for a jellyroll, beginning with long side; seal edge.
Cut each roll in eight 1 1/2-inch slices.
TOPPING:
In each of two loaf pans or one sheet cake pan or 2 cake pans, mix 1/2 cup brown
sugar, 1/4 cup butter and 1 tablespoon light corn syrup. Heat slowly, stirring
frequently till blended. Remove from heat. Spring 1/3 cup pecans in each pan.
Place 8 rolls cut side down in each pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until
double (35 to 45 minutes). Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees) for 25 minutes
or until done. Cool 2 or 3 minutes; invert on rack and remove pans. Makes 16
rolls.
(If you leave the rolls in the pans to cool longer than a couple of minutes,
they will stick as the caramel topping sets up. You can either place them back
in the oven for a couple of minutes to heat up the caramel or try a warm water
bath. I find it easier to turn them out quickly - so don't wander too far after
removing the rolls from the oven.)

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 1/2 cups half and half
1 tsp vanilla
I own an automatic ice cream maker and have fun making all sorts of ice cream flavors
Crush or coarse chop candy bars and place in freezer.
Meanwhile combine condensed milk and peanut butter and beat smooth with electric mixer. Blend in the cream, half and half and vanilla. Process in your ice cream maker and when mixture begins to get thick, gradually pour in the crushed butterfingers and proceed with manufacturers directions.
Freeze mixture till firm.
Makes one quart of a peanut flavored Butterfinger ice cream .YUM YUM !!
Note: I make a lot of ice cream and in my opinion If you have a professional or heavy duty chest freezer it freezes ice cream so much better than your refrigerator freezer offering less chance of ice crystal formation.

Buttermilk Salad
from Yardley, PA, USA
There was a request for this recipe on the bulletin board. I've never even heard of type of salad but it seems fairly popular! The wording from this recipe was taken from www.movinon.net:
No one will believe what is in this. Great for pot luck dinners or seasonal meals. Color can be changed according to which flavor jello you use. Read on!
2 cups buttermilk **
1 large box of Jello (can use sugar free)
1 large can crushed pineapple
1-8 ounce package of dairy topping, thawed (such as cool whip)**
Pour pineapple with the juice in saucepan, add jello. Heat,
stirring constantly until jello crystals leave spoon. Do not boil. After jello disolves, remove from heat and cool slightly. Add 2 cups buttermilk; stir. Fold in 8 ounce package of thawed cool whip. Fold until well mixed and color is even.Place in 8 X 2 dish and refrigerate. Serves 16.
** May use fat free buttermilk and dairy topping
Good as accompanying salad or as desert. I use Strawberry Jello for Valentines, Christmas or whenever reddish or pink color wanted and use orange or lime for spring or when orange or green color desired.
Option: If space is limited-cut recipe in half by using a small box of jello, 1 cup buttermilk, small can pineapple and 1/2 of an 8 ounce cool whip container.

Butternut Squash with Browned Butter and Thyme
from US
Serves 4
1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeds removed, flesh diced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
3 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon of dried)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add the butter, whisking frequently. Continue to cook the butter. Once melted it will foam up a bit, then subside. Honey-colored browned milk solids will begin to form. The butter should have a wonderful nutty aroma. Remove from heat. Add the thyme, whisking continuously. If using fresh thyme, the mixture will foam up a bit.
(Note that it doesn't take much time to go from browned butter to burnt butter. You will want to remove the pan from the heat element and place it on a cool surface to help stop the cooking of the butter. If the butter burns, I recommend dumping it and starting over, something I've had to do on occasion when not paying close attention.)
Add the cubed butternut squash pieces to the pan and return the pan to the burner, heating to medium high. Use a wooden or metal spoon to stir the squash pieces so they are all well coated with the butter thyme mixture. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Spread the squash pieces out in an even layer and let cook, without stirring, so that they brown a bit on one side (several minutes). Stir and spread the pieces out again and let cook without stirring so more sides get browned.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how big you cut the pieces.
Add more salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with a bit more chopped fresh thyme before serving.

Ingredients:
4 dried mushrooms
Sauce:
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or soaking liquid from the mushrooms
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon brown bean sauce
1/4 teaspoon chili paste with garlic, or to taste
Mixture:
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
8 Napa cabbage leaves, chopped
1 shallot
3 4 Chinese sausages (lop cheong)*
1 green onion
3 tablespoons oil for stir-frying, or as needed
Preparation:
Soften the mushrooms by soaking in hot water for 20 30 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water and cut the mushrooms into thin slices.
Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and set aside. Chop the Chinese cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Peel and chop the shallot. Cut the lop cheong on the diagonal into thin slices (about 1/4-inch). Cut the green onions on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces.
Heat the wok over medium-high to high heat. Add the oil. When the oil is ready, add the shallot. Cook until softened, then add the sausage and mushrooms. Stir-fry the sausage until lightly browned (about 2 minutes).
Add the cabbage to the wok. Stir-fry briefly, adding a bit of soy sauce or salt if desired. Push the sausage and cabbage to the sides of the wok. Add the sauce in the middle. Give the cornstarch and water mixture a quick stir and add to the sauce, stirring quickly to thicken. Mix everything together. Stir in the green onion.

Cadbury's® Creme Eggfrom Yardley, PA
Cadbury's Creme Egg
This comes from one of my favorite sites, http://www.topsecretrecipes.com — here is the recipe, verbatim, from that site.
Here's a little Easter present for you. It's a clone version of the first soft fondant-filled egg candy to hit the market, many Easters ago. Now, because of the success of these chocolates with the orange yolk-colored center, other candy companies have come out with their own milk chocolate eggs. Some are filled with Snickers or Milky Way centers, while others contain peanut butter, coconut, caramel or the same type of fondant center as the original...right down to the colors. These eggs are sold only once a year, for the Easter holiday. And, in that same spirit, this recipe will only be up for a week; so get it while you can or you'll have to wait until next year. Happy Easter, everyone!
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups powdered sugar
4 drops yellow food coloring
2 drops red food coloring
1 12-ounce bags milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1. Combine the corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Beat well with an electric mixer until smooth.
2. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing by hand after each addition. Mix well until creamy.
3. Remove about 1/3 of the mixture and place it into a small bowl. Add the yellow and red food coloring and stir well to combine.
4. Cover both mixtures and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
5. When mixtures are firm, roll a small, marble-size ball from the orange filling, and wrap around it a portion of the white filling that is roughly twice the size. Form this filling into the shape of an egg and place it onto a cookie sheet that has been brushed with a light coating of shortening. Repeat for the remaining filling ingredients, then refrigerate these centers for 3-4 hours or until firm.
6. Combine the milk chocolate chips with the shortening in a glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave chocolate on high speed for 1 minute, then stir and microwave again for 1 more minute, and stir.
7. Use a fork to dip each center into the chocolate, tap the fork on the side of the bowl, then place each candy onto wax paper. Chill.
8. After 1-2 hours of chilling, dip each candy once more and chill for several hours, or until completely firm. Makes 2 dozen candy eggs.

Caipirinha 2
from Yardley, PA
Ok, the important thing here is the amount of sugar. The more you add, the faster your guests will get "piss drunk". So go light on that, ok?
The traditional way to do it is glass by glass. You should use a strong glass, maybe a whisky-like would be appropriate.
For each glass I use 1 lime, unpeeled. I cut the "tops" off, and each lemon in about 8 little pieces. They go in the bottom of the glass. Now, sugar. Add sugar, maybe half a tablespoon over the lime pieces. Add crushed ice, a nice layer on top of the sugar. Press a little with a mortar or some creative tool availabe ( I have used the back of a wooden spoon with excelent results...) Then, add PINGA (national drink, made of sugar cane). Try to find good quality PINGA (also known as CACHACA - second C sounds like S)....
Although my Brazilian friends would consider
me too snobish, I have to admit that I normally do caipirinhas with vodka instead of pinga. My day after is a lot easier....
Again, the traditional way to do it is getting a second glass, exactly like the first, invert it on top of the first glass, invert the whole drink twice, very fast. It is not consider "traditional" to use a cocktail shaker. Then, you hit the glass over the table, and there you have it: caipirinha, very authentic!
A tip: if you want to get drunk twice as fast, drink it from a straw.
The amounts of sugar, pinga, ice, are a matter of taste, and they also depend on how acid your limes are. Play around with the ingredients, maybe while you are cooking a Brazilian menu!

1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 juice of medium size lemon
3 teaspoon salt (to taste)
4 bell peppers, sliced
2 onions, medium, shredded
1 large cabbage, shredded
Put mayonnaise and mustard in a bowl large enough to hold complete mixture, but shaped so that the mixture can be beaten with a fork. Beat mayonnaise and mustard until combined. Add olive oil slowly, beating all the time. Beat until mixture has returned to the thickness of original mayonnaise. Add Louisiana hot sauce, continuing to beat. Add ketchup and keep beating. Add salt and garlic salt, beating all the time. Add wine vinegar (this will thin the sauce down). Beat this thoroughly, adding the lemon juice as you do so. Taste for salt and pepper. Place shredded cabbage, peppers, and onions in a large salad bowl. Pour sauce over and toss well. This should be done about an hour before serving. Tastes even better the next day.

Cajun Style Fish GumboRoux:
1/2 cup vegetable oil ( not olive )
1/2 cup flour
8 cups stock: fish or chicken or vegetable ( I used vegetable )
Vegetables:
1/4 cup diced garlic
1 lg onion fine chopped
3 large celery ribs diced
3 carrots peeled and diced
2 large bell peppers, seeded and diced
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
6 freeze dried instant rehydrating mushrooms soaked in water, drained and sliced
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1 bay leaf
10 oz pkg okra
Fish:
1/2 lb salmon filet cut into chunks ( firm fish )
1/2 lb tilapia filet cut into chunks ( mild fish )
1/2 lb real or imitation seafood mix ( lobster, shrimp, crab ) cut into chunks
salt
pepper
smoked paprika to taste
hot sauce to taste
Worcestershire sauce ( optional to taste )
sassafras leaves ( optional ) as garnish to sprinke over gumbo
cooked rice ( optional )
I had gumbos in restaurants of which some were so thick and paste like and other more soup stew like. My version is more like soup, cream gravy thickness. Traditionally served over bowls of white rice.
Make the roux by combining the flour and the oil and mix and stir over low heat about 20 to 30 minutes or until desired color, dark golden or caramel brown etc. Do not burn!
Then add and stir in the garlic and the onion and cook and stir a few minutes to release the flavors. Set aside.
In a large pot with a bit of oil add the celery, carrots and peppers and cook and stir over medium high heat to soften and release their flavors . Add the stock, mushrooms, parsley,tomatoes, bay leaf , roux and whisk and stir until thickened.
Lastly, stir in the fish , seafood, and okra. Bring to a gentle boil and then to a low simmer. Season with salt, pepper, drops of hot sauce and some smoked paprika to taste.
Tastes even better the next day
Note: it is nice to have extra roux mixture on hand so if one wants to thicken the gumbo one can add more to obtain a thicken version. Roux usually is equal parts of flour and oil or 1 1/4 part flour to 1 part oil.
Serves 6 to 8 and especially good with cornbread, biscuits and butter as an accompaniment.

Cake aux Treize Desserts
from Chicago, IL
3-1/2 cups farmer's cheese
3/4 cup candied fruit, such as oranges, lemons, cherries, chopped into small cubes (chop some extra for decorating the finished cake)
1-1/2 sticks nougatine, crushed
1-1/3 cups mixed nuts, chopped
1 cup whipping cream (or crème fraîche)
1/2 cup honey
3-1/2 Tablespoons of gelatin
For the topping:
5/8 cup whipping cream
raspberry coulis (made quickly by blending a little sugar with some frozen raspberries)
Soften the gelating in a small amount of cold water. Warm the honey and combine with the gelatin.
In a cold bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, mix the cheese with the candied fruit, nuts and nougatine.
Add the honey.
Gently fold in the whipped cream.
Transfer the mixture unto a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a fat sausage.
Wrap tightly with more plastic wrap and chill.
About 1/2 hour before serving, beat the rest of the whipping cream until stiff and spread with a fork. Decorate with the candied fruit and serve with the raspberry coulis.
Cake Mix Cookies
These cookies are just wonderful and couldn't be any easier to make.
Total prep time is probably right around 20 minutes. They're an old
family favorite, and they freeze extremely well.
CAKE MIX COOKIES
1 package cake mix -- Devil's Food is best although you can use other flavors
(not the Jiffy size -- use Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, etc.)
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 stick margarine, melted
Any chips or nuts you want to add -- you don't need too many
(chocolate chips & peanut butter chips are great, but experiment with
anything that you like)
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Be sure to combine the dry
ingredients thoroughly. The mixture will be a little stiff but fairly
easy to work with. Take a heaping teaspoon full of the mixture (or use a
small cookie scoop) and form a ball. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet
and bake for 10-12 minutes (test it after 10 minutes) in a 350 degree
oven. The cookies will probably take around 12 minutes, depending
on your oven. Leave the cookies on the baking sheets for a few minutes
to allow them to firm up before putting them onto cooling racks.
You should be able to get about 2 1/2 dozen cookies per recipe.
HINT: Yellow cake mix may leave you with a funny taste. Devil's Food is
usually the best kind of cake mix to use.
ENJOY!!!!

1 lb. ground beef ( or turkey ) cooked and drained
1/2 cup onion browned
1/2 cup ketsup
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp salad mustard
2 tsp. white vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb can baked beans ( any variety you like )
1 lb can lima beans drained
1 lb can kidney beans drained
Combine everything and place in 3 qt. casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 325F
for 1 1/2 hours. great for pot lucks or picnics
Calico Beans
CALICO BEANS
4 slices bacon 1 tsp. salt
1 onion, chopped 1 can pork and beans
1/2 cup catsup 1 can lima beans
1/3 cup brown sugar 1 can butter beans
2 Tbsp. vinegar 1 can kidney beans
1 Tbsp. mustard ham chunks
Fry bacon and onion; add sauce, then add beans; mix well.
Bake in 325 degree oven 1/2 hour, covered - then remove cover and
continue baking for another 1/2 hour.
Calico Carrots3 medium carrots (12 ounces), trimmed and peeled
2 medium potatoes (8 ounces), preferably Yukon Gold, peeled
1/4 cup olive oil
1 shallot, halved and sliced thin (1/4 cup)
1 Tablespoon minced fresh thyme, divided
4 juniper berries, crushed fine
1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Arrange a saucepan and steamer basket over simmering water. Cut the carrots and potatoes into similarly sized pieces so that they will cook evenly. Transfer to steamer basket; cover and cook until the tip of a knife will pierce the centers with ease, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, half of the thyme and the juniper berries. (This will seem like too much oil but in the end it will be used to dress the carrots and potatoes.) Cook slowly, stirring often, until the shallots are very soft and golden, about 15 minutes. Set aside but keep warm.
When the carrots and potatoes are cooked through, transfer them to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with the vinegar and season with the salt and pepper. Use a potato masher or large fork to smash the vegetables into a rough texture that still shows some lumps of orange and white (the "calico" in the name). Taste this mixture for salt and pepper. Adjust if necessary.
Stir the remaining thyme into the cooked shallot mixture and pour the dressing over the carrots and potatoes. Mix thoroughly but lightly, again to preserve the separate orange and white colors. Serve hot.
Makes 4 servings.

Candy Bar French ToastServes 6
12 slices day old bread
3 milk chocolate candy bars, no nuts
3 eggs
1 cup milk
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
confectioner's sugar (for dusting at the end)
Break each candy bar in half - the short way. Grate just a little chocolate (no more than a half teaspoon off of each piece and save in a small bowl for later.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Pour half of this mixture into an large(13x9) ungreased baking dish.
Layer six slices of bread horizontally over the egg mixture. Place one piece of candy bar in the center of each piece of bread. Top each slice with remaining pieces of bread like sandwiches. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the sandwiches. Let this stand for at least 5 minutes so the bread can absorb the egg mixture.
On a griddle or in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Fry sandwiches until golden brown on both sides. Add an addition 2 teaspoons of butter mid-way, if cooking in batches.
To serve, cut each sandwich diagonally. Dust with confectioner's sugar and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
Candy Bar Hot Chocolate2 egg yolks
2 ounces milk chocolate candy bar with nuts (I prefer to use Toblerone)
1 cup milk
Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl; set aside.
Coarsely chop chocolate and place in a 2-cup microwave-safe glass measuring cup with a spout. Add the milk. Place the measuring cup, uncovered, in the microwave. Whisking once or twice, cook on MEDIUM-HIGH (70 percent power) until chocolate is melted and well blended, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Remove the cup from microwave and slowly pour chocolate into the reserved egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return mixture to the measuring cup and cook in microwave until heated through, about 1 minute. You may need to rotate the measuring cup if your microwave doesn't have a carousel.
Pour into mugs and serve.
Makes 2 servings.

2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. extra fine sugar
1/4 c. dry, white wine
Pinch salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. honey
1 egg white
FILLING:
10 oz. Ricotta cheese
1/2 c. extra fine granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
4 tbsp. milk
2 tbsp. chocolate chips

Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll out on lightly floured surface. Roll out thin.
Cut dough into 4 inch squares. Wrap each square diagonally around metal or wooden cannoli form and fasten with egg white. Keep dry in oil until golden brown. Fry a few at a time. Cool slightly and remove from forms. Combine and beat together the Ricotta cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in milk. Add chocolate chips. Refrigerate until ready to use. Just before serving, fill cannoli shells with Ricotta filling and sprinkle shells with confectioners sugar. Shells may be stored for up to two months in an air tight, sealed
container.
Cannoli 3
from NJ, USA
Cannoli 3
SHELLS:
3 c. sifted flour
3 tbsp. melted butter
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
3/4 c. red wine (approximately)
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
Fat for deep frying
FILLING:
3 lbs. ricotta cheese
3/4 c. confectioners' sugar
1/4 c. creme de cacao or other sweet liqueur
3 tbsp. grated bittersweet chocolate
2 tbsp. finely minced, candied orange peel
1/2 c. chopped pistachio nuts for garnish
Mix flour, butter, sugar and salt. Add enough wine to make a stiff but manageable dough.
Knead for about 15 minutes, until dough is smooth and soft. Add a bit more flour if
necessary to prevent sticking. Roll into a ball, cover, and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Divide dough into 2 parts and roll into paper thin sheets on a lightly floured board. Cut into
4 inch circles or squares. Place a cannoli tube from corner to corner, diagonally across the
square. Fold the opposite corners together around the tube. Brush corners with beaten egg
yolk to seal and press together. Heat 3 inches of fat to 390 degrees F. Fry cannoli, 2 or 3 at a
time, turning if necessary, until deep, golden brown. Remove with tongs or a slotted spatula
and drain on absorbent paper. Cool to touch and remove tubes, being careful not to break
the shells. Cool completely before filling. Fill shells just before serving so that they are
crisp. If you do not intend to use them immediately, store them in a cool, dry place. They
will keep, unfilled, for several weeks. Beat ricotta vigorously for 2 minutes. Add sugar and
liqueur and continue beating for 5 minutes longer, or until smooth. Mix in chocolate and
orange and store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Use a small spoon to stuff the filling
into the shells. Dip the ends in chopped pistachio nuts. If you do not wish to serve the
cannoli immediately, the filling may be kept, tightly covered and refrigerated, for up to 3
days.

Cantonese Steamed Sea Bass1 1 1/2-lb. whole sea bass (or striped bass) with head and tail, cleaned, scaled, and gills removed
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white wine
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped (approx. 2 tablespoons)
4 tablespoons chopped scallions, including greens
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1. Rinse the fish inside and out with 1/4 cup of wine.
2. Select a round or oval platter that's large enough to hold the fish but will fit inside the top of a steaming utensil. This could be a traditional Chinese bamboo or metal steamer, or a Western-style clam steamer.
3. Place the fish on the platter and set platter in the top of the steamer. Cover and steam over boiling water 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce base by combining the 2 tablespoons of wine, garlic, scallions, ginger, and sugar in a small bowl.
5. Check fish for doneness. When cooked, the flesh will be white and pull easily from the bones. Remove the platter and pour off the liquid that has accumulated around the fish.
6. Heat the oil in a wok or saucepan, and when it is hot, add the sauce base. Cook, stirring until the sauce boils.
7. Pour soy sauce over the sea bass first, and then pour the boiled sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.
Cape Malay Pickled Fish2 lb yellowtail, scaled and filleted, skin left on
5 cloves garlic
2 large onions
1 cup grape vinegar
½ cup water
½ cup golden brown sugar
8 peppercorns
4 cloves
4 allspice berries
2 bay leaves
1 Tbsp masala (curry powder)
2 tsp cumin, ground
2 tsp coriander, ground
1 tsp turmeric
coarse salt, as needed
oil, as needed for frying
Roughly chop the garlic. Peel and slice the onions into rings.
Firm up the flesh of the fish, by sprinkling coarse salt on both sides of the fillet and letting it stand in a glass bowl for 20 to 25 minutes. Thoroughly rinse the fillet under running water. Pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut the fish into serving portions leaving the skin attached.
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the fish until cooked through (Do not cover the fish with flour or batter as normal in frying fish) Place the rest of the ingredients in a large pot, bring to the boil, stirring to ensure the sugar dissolves, and does not burn on the bottom of the pot. Then simmer for approximately 8 minutes until the onions are cooked but still crisp.
Layer the pieces of fish and the sauce and onions alternately in a ceramic or glass serving-dish. Ensure that the last layer of fish is covered with sauce.
Leave to cool and then refrigerate.
This will keep for a week in the fridge.
Generally served with green salad and crisp rolls.
This recipe for Pickled Fish is a traditional and authentic Cape Malay dish and a South African favorite.
Cape Town Fruit and Vegetable Curry
from South Africa
4 cup coarsely chopped onions
2 tbsp peanut oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1½ tbsp ground cumin seeds
1½ tbsp ground coriander seeds
1½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp turmeric
½ tsp cayenne
½ tsp ground fennel seeds
¼ tsp black cardamom
¼ tsp ground cloves
2 med zucchini, quartered and sliced
1½ cup water
1 cup green beans
2 firm, tart apples, cored and cubed
½ red bell pepper
1 cup chopped dried apricots
½ cup raisins
½ cup strawberry conserve
fresh lemon juice
Sauté the onions in the peanut oil for 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger and curry spices and continue to sauté, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and water and stir well so that the spices won't stick to the pot. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Mix in the green beans, apple, peppers and dried apricots. Simmer gently, covered for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a little more water if needed to prevent sticking. When the fruit and vegetables are quite tender, stir in the raisins, the conserve and the lemon juice. Taste and adjust to your liking if necessary. If you need it to be more spicy, add more cayenne or garam masala. If you want it sweeter, add more conserve. Tarter, add more lemon juice. Serve on a bed of rice, topped with nuts and banana.
Serves 6
Capellini with Crab and Spinach Capellini with Crab and Spinach
1 lb. angel hair pasta
1/2 cup broth (fish broth or weak chicken broth with 2 tsp. cornstarch dissolved)
1/2 lb. lump crabmeat
1/2 lb. fresh spinach, chopped
1/3 cup pignoli nuts (pine nuts)
1/2 cup cream
Salt to taste
1 to 3 cloves garlic (crushed)
Parmesan cheese (or Romano - depends on personal taste!)
1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
Lightly brown pignoli nuts in teflon skillet over medium heat, shaking pan all the while. Do not allow nuts to become dark or burn. Set aside.
Boil 4 quarts of water for pasta. Be careful not to overcook angel hair. (If using fresh pasta, pour 1 or 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the water while boiling). Note that _al dente_ is best and therefore it needs to cook only a few minutes after being added to the boiling water. Drain the pasta and remove to a large platter.
In the meantime, melt butter with garlic. Saute first the spinach, then merely warm the crabmeat. Add the broth and allow to thicken enough to coat the spoon. Add the cream. Stir, then remove from the heat. Add the pignoli nuts to the sauce and salt to taste.
Pour sauce over pasta, adding cheese (Parmesan or Romano) and pepper at the table. (NOTE: It is a nice idea to let each guest pepper their own serving using a pepper mill and fresh ground pepper.)
[One variation to this recipe might be to substitute shrimp and/or scallops for the crabmeat.]

adding more anchos or a jalapeno. Serve with slices of rustic bread that have
been brushed with olive oil and grilled or broiled.

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Preheat the oven to 350 degs. Roast the anchos on a rack in the oven until
you can smell them, 1-2 minutes, then soften by soaking them in hot water for
about 15 minutes.(save water if you like to add to gravy,stew, soup or
vegetable sauce in place of plain water)
Sprinkle the eggplant with salt and let it sit in a colander for 30
minutes to draw out the moisture. Heat oil in a large skillet. When the oil
is hot, add the eggplant and stir to brown completely. Add the onion and cook
until translucent. Remove the chilies from the water. Dice them, and add them
to the egg plant. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 15 minutes or
until the flavors have married. Adjust the salt and heat level to your
liking.

Caponata 2
from NY, USA
1 medium eggplant peeled
2 large tomatoes
1 large Red bell pepper
1 small red onion
2 Tbs. fresh chopped parsley
1 small bunch of fresh basil
1 large garlic clove chopped
Optional veges:
mushrooms
zucchini or yellow squash
In a microwave dish add a few Tbs water with the coarse chopped vegetables ( except parsley and basil ) and cook covered 10 minutes or until fork tender. Do not over cook. Drain very well. One may also steam the veges on the stove top. Let cool. Then place in food processor and pulse cooked vegetables and herbs until all are coarse chopped yet the vegetables separate colors remain- ( and the mixture is not a puree or a paste ).
Now season to taste with vinegar ( may be white, or red wine or balsamic ) , sugar, salt , pepper and extra virgin olive oil so mixture tastes piquant. Serve warm or chilled. Serves 8 or more.
Hope you like it!
Caponata 3
from Liechtenstein
3 Tbsp good olive oil
600g (1 1/4 lb, 3 1/2 cups) diced (unpeeled) aubergine (eggplant)
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 small sticks celery, finely chopped
15-20 pitted green olives, chopped
3 Tbsp chopped drained bottled capers
4 Tbsp (1/4 cup) red wine vinegar
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar, or to taste
3 Tbsp golden raisins
3 Tbsp pine nuts, toasted lightly (optional, but nice)
3/4 x 400g can (1 cup) good chopped plum tomatoes
4 Tbsp (1/4 cup) finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves (optional)
1. Cook the aubergine in 2 Tbsp of the olive oil over moderately high heat. The best way I've found to do this is to heat 1 Tbsp oil in a heavy frying pan, add the aubergine and mix well, then drizzle over another 1 Tbsp oil and mix again. This helps stop the cubes on the bottom from absorbing all the oil. Cook, stirring often, until done - I like my aubergine very soft, so I give it 15-20 minutes. When done, transfer to a bowl.
2. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp oil to the frying pan, tip in the onion and celery, and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes over moderate heat or until the onion is fairly soft but not coloured.
3. Add the olives, capers, vinegar, sugar, raisins, pine nuts (if using), and tomatoes and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes, or until it is cooked through and the celery is tender. Cook it covered if using fresh tomatoes, and uncovered if using canned, since they have more juice.
4. Add the tomato mixture to the bowl. Add the parsley and mix well. Cool and chill overnight, then season with salt and black pepper.
Caponata di Verdura
from Chicago, IL
This is a winter caponata, as you might guess from the list of ingredients. It is also the traditional cold dish served on Christmas day in the Madonie region.
1 pound fresh spinach, washed repeatedly and scalded in the water that drips from the leaves until it wilts, then squeezed dry 3/4 pound chicory
1 cauliflower weighing about 1 1/2 pounds
3/4 pound cardoons (these are a flowerless relative of the artichoke; you eat the stems after stripping out the fibers as you might those of celery sticks. If you cannot find them, increase the other vegetables proportionately.)
1/2 pound Belgian endive
1/2 pound celery ribs
2/3 cup pine nuts
3/4 cup toasted bread crumbs
6 salted anchovies, scaled, boned and rinsed
6 tablespoons salted capers, rinsed
1 lemon, finely sliced
white wine vinegar
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Boil, or better yet, steam the vegetables individually, chop them into bite-size portions, saut them in olive oil, seasoning them with salt and pepper, and sprinkle them with a little vinegar. Lay out the caponata in a serving dish.
Saute' the toasted bread crumbs in a little oil with the pine nuts, capers, anchovy filets, and lemon slices, then spread the mixture over the caponata and it's ready.

Cappelletti di Natale
from Chicago, IL
Christmas Cappelletti - Italy
Prepare a very thin puff pastry and pull it with a rolling pin. Use the following ingredients for the stuffing:
one pork steak,
one veal steak,
one chicken breast,
400 gr. of "stracchino" (soft cheese),
two egg yolks,
salt, pepper, nutmeg, and Parmesan cheese.
Lightly fry the meat, mince it finely, mix everything and then make some small "cappelletti," closing them very well with the fingers. These "cappelletti" are normally cooked for the Christmas lunch, with a broth of capon, beef and turkey. Capon was the preferred course of ecclesiastic people and princes.
Cappone con le Noci
from Chicago, IL
This is a specialty of the Lombardy region prepared during the Christmas season.
The excellent broth can be used to cook small ravioli and can be served as a first course.
1 4-lb. capon
1/2 cup cream
2 Tbs. butter
20 chopped walnuts
4 Tbs. grated Parmesan
3 egg yolks
4 Tbs. cream
salt
pepper
nutmeg
1 celery stalk
1 carrot
4 slices white bread, crust removed
Clean and bone the capon and leave it in its natural shape. Soak the bread in the cream. Soften the butter and mix with the walnuts, the Parmesan, egg yolks, and the bread. Beat the mixture well with a wooden spoon until it is soft and dense, adding more bread or cream if necessary. Salt, pepper and add a pinch of grated nutmeg. Insert the stuffing in the capon; sew and tie the bird closed. Bring a large pot of water to a boil- the pot should be just large enough to hold the bird. Add celery and carrot, lower the heat and cook the stuffed capon in this broth over low heat for 1/2-2 hours, salting halfway through. Serve the capon carved with some of the stuffing. This dish may be accompanied by preserved spiced fruits (mostarda di frutta).

Carbonnade de BoeufCARBONNADE DE BOEUF
[from McClatchy News Service in Orange County Register 16 Jan 85]
3 lbs beef chuck shoulder pot roast, boneless
2 TBS butter
oil
4 large onions, thinly sliced
3 TBS flour
2 bottles (12 oz each) dark beer (SEE NOTE BELOW)
1 can (14 1/2 oz) beef broth
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 TBS vinegar
4 sprigs parsley
1 bay leaf
2 TBS finely chopped parsley
Cut beef into 2 inch cubes. Heat butter and 1 TBS flour in a large Dutch oven. Add beef a few pieces at a time and cook until browned on all sides. Transfer to platter. If necessary, add oil to Dutch oven. Stir in onion slices. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until soft and golden. Remove to platter.
Stir flour into remaining fat in pan (add 1 TBS butter, if necessary). Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Add beer and broth and stir until smooth. Heat to boiling and boil for 1 minute. Stir in garlic, sugar, thyme, salt, pepper and vinegar. Cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Stir in beef, onions, parsley sprigs and bay leaf. Heat stew to boiling and cover. Reduce to simmer and simmer slowly for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beef is tender. Before serving, let cool for a few minutes, skim off any fat and discard parsley and bay leaf. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Makes 8 servings.
NOTE: On the choice of beer for this, I recommend that you pick up a good example of a Belgian Beer style, and ignore the dark beer suggestion. If you have access to some try Brigand, or some other Belgian Grand Cru. Also a good American substitute would be Celis Grand Cru or Celis White. If you use a beer of these styles, taste them for acidity, and adjust the vinegar and sugar in the recipe.
I personally use a Homebrewed Belgian Trippel when I make this!

Carol's Crab DipThanks for the recipes Dave - I thought I'd add a recipe for a
really loved dip.....
Carol's Crab Dip
1 package Softened Cream Cheese
1 bottle Kraft Seafood Cocktail Sauce
Approximately 4 ounces of Crab meat (broken into small slivers)
1 box Ritz or similar crackers
Spread softened cream cheese on flat serving plate (I use a small one, about the size of a dinner plate). Pour entire bottle of cocktail sauce over the cream cheese and spread evenly. Spreading evenly, put crab meat on top of cocktail sauce. Serve with crackers for dipping.
Although I have not done this (yet), this could probably be done on individual crackers and served, rather than as dip.
Everytime I served this, it has been the hit of the event. Hope you enjoy as well!!
Carpaccio with Capers in White Truffle Oilfrom Yardley, PA, USA
This is a very basic recipe that can be easily built open to suit your tastes. Try adding your own seasonings to this to get it just right.
8 oz filet mignon
1 1/2 - 2 T white truffle oil
capers for garnish
fresh ground black pepper for garnish
Freeze filet for an hour to prepare it for cutting. Slice the beef into paper-thin slices across the grain and arrange in a plate. If you're adding your own seasonings, whisk them together with the white truffle oil in a small bowl. Otherwise, skip this and simply drizzle the oil over the arranged beef. Optionally, season with salt, hot pepper flakes, or any other dry seasoning and let sit for five to ten minutes.
Garnish with the capers.
Serves 2.

Carrot Cake
Here's my FAVORITE carrot cake recipe. It is always a hit at gatherings
and has become my most-requested cake recipe. The "secret" is the ORANGE!
Personally, I do not like raisins in carrot cake and am glad this one
doesn't require them. If it did, I would simply omit them.
Carrot Cake (With a Twist)
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup salad oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
4 eggs
1 orange
2 cups finely grated carrots
1/2 to 3/4 cups chopped walnuts (or pecans)
Method:
Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add oil and
stir well making a very stiff mixture. Set aside.
Wash orange and cut into small pieces (leave the peel
on!). Put the orange pieces in a blender container
and adding one egg at a time, beat the mixture until
it is smooth and foamy. Add this mixture to the stiff
mixture that was set aside. Mix well. Add 2 cups of
grated carrots, mix and then add the nuts. Blend the
mixture well.
Pour batter into a well-greased or oiled tube pan
(bundt pan). Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 F for
40-50 minutes. The cake is done when it starts
shrinking from the sides of the pan. Cool the cake in
the pan for 10-15 minutes then invert it onto a
cooling rack. Cool completely before icing it (recipe
for icing follows).
Notes: Instead of using a tube pan, you can bake
the cake in a 9"x13" rectangular baking
pan. In this case, reduce the baking time
to 35 minutes or until done. The cake
tastes equally good without the icing. I
only ice it on special occasions. Store
leftovers in the refrigerator.
Icing:
1 (8 oz) pkg Cream Cheese
1 lb Icing Sugar
2 or 3 Tbsp oil or orange juice
1 Tbsp grated orange peel
Cream cheese should be at room temperature. Mix all
the ingredients together to form a smooth paste.
Enjoy!

Carrot Muffins
CARROT MUFFINS or
mini CARROT LOAF
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 Eggs
1 cup sugar
3 carrots -- grated
1 1/3 cups * flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp nutmeg /or allspice
1/4 tsp ginger
1 cup ** raisins, seedless
Beat oil, eggs and sugar until blended. Stir in finely grated carrots.
In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon,
nutmeg, and ginger.{ * I sometimes use half whole wheat flour and half
white flour to add more fiber to my diet.}
{ ** I soak the raisins in hot water for about ten minutes to inflate and
soften them.} Then I drain them and add them to the grated carrots.
Pour liquids and carrot/raisins into dry ingredients.
Stir only to moisten the batter.
Scoop into muffin tins.
Bake in a 350 F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
P.S. I bought some of those miniature loaf tins at Christmastime. The
last time I made this muffin batter I poured it into the mini-loaf tins and
baked them in a 350 F oven for 20 to 25 minutes. This made six mini
carrot loaves.
(They were a novel nutritional treat to take in lunches.)

Castilian-Style Garlic Soup
Recipe By : TASTE SHOW #TS4862
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Taste3
6 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 1/2 cups day-old country bread, crusts removed, cut in 1/2 inch slices, then torn roughly into crouton-size pieces
2 teaspoons imported sweet paprika
4 cloves garlic, lightly crushed and peeled
4 1/2 cups water
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
4 cups beef broth or beef consomme
6 eggs (optional)
6 tablespoons chopped Spanish mountain cured ham prosciutto, or capicollo, in a 1/4 inch dice
Place 5 tablespoons of the oil and the minced garlic in a skillet and slowly heat until the garlic begins to color. Add the bread pieces and saute slowly until they are crisp and golden, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of the paprika and stir to coat the bread. Reserve.
To make the garlic broth, in a soup pot heat the remaining tablespoon of oil and lightly saute the peeled, crushed garlic cloves. Stir in the remaining teaspoon paprika, the water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 45 minutes--you should have about 4 cups (these first two steps may be done in advance).
Bring the beef broth to a boil. Arrange 6 ovenproof soup bowls on a baking tray and 1 tablespoon of the beef broth to each. If you are using eggs, slip one into each bowl, scatter in the ham, and pour in more beef broth (the bowls should be half full). Place the tray with the bowls in a 450 degree F oven until the eggs are set, about 4 minutes. Fill the bowls with the reserved garlic broth, boiling hot, and scatter in the bread pieces. Serve immediately.
Yield: 6 servings

Cauliflower with Cheese
CAULIFLOWER WITH CHEESE
Here's a nice side dish for a company dinner or a marvelous
vegetable main dish for the family--rich, though. It's popular in
Britain, less well-known in the US. This is not as elaborate a
recipe as it might seem. 4 side dish servings, 2 main dish
l medium cauliflower, about 1 pound (or a one-pound bag of frozen
cauliflower), broken into small flowerets and steamed in a
small amount of water until quite tender (the frozen stuff can
be microwaved on high for about seven minutes without any added
water; the fresh will need about 2 tablespoonsful in the
microwave). Drain cauliflower well.
While cauliflower cooks, made a white sauce of:
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
(My heretical way to make any flour-thickened sauce is to throw all
the ingredients into the food processor, combine well, and then cook
in the microwave until nicely thickened, stirring every minute and a
half. No lumps, no constant stirring.)
When sauce is ready, stir in 6 oz. extra sharp cheddar cheese,
grated, or simply chopped fine in the food processor. Arrange
cauliflower in a greased (sprayed) shallow baking pan as much as
possible in one layer. Pour on the sauce and sprinkle with
3 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons grated parmesan or romano cheese
At this point you can set the dish aside to be baked later for about
20 minutes at 350, or until bubbly and slightly browned. You can
adjust time up or down to match what ever heat you may have the oven
at for another dish; this is not a delicate kind of thing. Reheats
well.

Cedar-smoked Salmon Salad with Toasted Walnuts and Buffalo Mozzarella
from Erie, PA
Monster title and monster taste. Be warned though about the chard a leafy green that's a relative of the beet which imparts a bitter taste to the salad. If you prefer a milder flavor, try substituting spinach for the chard.

7 oz. cedar (or other) smoked salmon filet
2 cups toasted walnuts
10 oz. smoked buffalo mozzarella cheese
Dressing
3/4 cup olive or vegetable oil

1/4 cup ground black pepper
Crumble salmon filet into small, bite-sized pieces. Tear the cheese into slightly larger, but bite-site, pieces. Combine with other salad ingredients above into a large zip-top plastic bag.
Pour balsamic vinegar into a small bowl. Add the pepper. Into the vinegar mixture, slowly pour the oil, mixing briskly, making sure to emulsify the dressing.
Pour the dressing on top of the "dry" ingredients already in the plastic bag. Seal the top of the bag and shake vigorously, evenly distributing the dressing and other ingredients.
Plate and serve.

Champage Peach Punch
from NYS, US
3, 750 ml bottles of Champagne ( really any brand is fine )
1, 32 oz carbonated or seltzer water
1/2 cup peach brandy
2 cups peach nectar
1/4 cup lemon juice from fresh lemons
1/4 cup grenadine syrup
1 large glass punch bowl
Peach ice block:
1 can sliced cling peaches with syrup
I made this for my daughters' engagement party and another summer party I gave. Even leftover fizzed out punch tastes great when refrigerated. It's one of the best champagne punches I ever tasted in my opinion. Great for any celebration.
Into a large glass punch bowl, add the peach nectar,grenadine and lemon juice and peach brandy. Pour in the champagne. Mix well and add the peach ice block and pour in the carbonated water. The mixture will fizz.
Yield 24 servings.
Note: I made a peach ice block by simply pouring the can of peaches and the liquid into a small decorative gelatin mold and frezzing till firm. Unmold when ready to use.

Cheddar Chowder
Dave,
Sorry for the earlier email of this -- the dumb blond hit the wrong button
again!
I have been receiving the contributions of this group for about a week and
thoroughly enjoy the variety of submissions. Here is a small contribution.
It is not a "politically correct" recipe in these days of reduced fat and
cholesterol, but it certainly tastes great.
Cheddar Chowder
6 slices of thick bacon cut in small pieces
1/4 cup minced onion
1/3 cup flour
1 cup dry sherry
1 quart whole milk
2 cups Half & Half
2 pounds shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic juice
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Seasoned croutons if desired
In a large Dutch oven cook bacon pieces until crisp. Remove and drain on
paper towels. Cook minced onion in bacon drippings until they are clear. Do
not brown the onion. Whisk together the flour and dry sherry. Gradually add
to the onion along with the whole milk and cream, allowing the mixture to
thicken each time. Stir in the cheddar cheese one cup at a time allowing each
cup to melt before adding another, until all is melted. Mix all spices in a
small bowl. Add some of the soup and mix together thoroughly. Return spiced
soup to the main pot and stir to combine. Simmer 5 minutes. Serve in large
bowls topped with bacon bits and croutons.

Cheese LasagnaI don't make this often ( cholesterol city ) but when I do, it's like this:
1 lb lasagna noodles , cooked
2 lb container of whole milk ricotta cheese
2 lb mozarella cheese sliced
1 quart of marinara or favorite tomato sauce
Italian mixed dry spices as desired ( basil, oregano, parsley, etc. )
salt and pepper
powdered or fresh minced garlic as desired
1/4 cup grated fresh romano cheese ( topping )
fresh chopped Italian parsley ( garnish )
In a bottom of a large oblong or lasagna pan spoon on some sauce. Place 3 to cooked noodles to fit bottom of pan. Layer on some sliced mozzarella cheese then spoon on some ricotta over that. Sprinkle with desired amount of spices, garlic and salt and pepper. Cover with more noodes to fit, then layer on the mozzarella cheese, spooned ricotta, spices etc and spread over more sauce. Continue this method until you come to the last layer of noodles.Just spread sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle on romano cheese.
Cover tightly with foil and bake 350 for 30 minutes until cheeses are
melted and bubbly. Serves 12.
Note: this dish is best prepared a day ahead, cooled and then reheated and served. Before serving sprinkle with fresh chopped italian parsley. Also you may use less cheese and sauce if desired. I use a 10 x 14 inch pan and I get a nice tall lagsagna. You can use a 9 x 13 pan but all of it won't fit in there!
This freezes very well and the teenager's love it!

Hi Dave...I found a good cheesecake recipe and I wanted to share it with
you...try it..you may like it =) Sorry, I wish I could tell you where this
recipe came from...
Cheesecake
Ingredients:
1 lb. Ricotta cheese
2 8 oz. packages of cream cheese softened
1 pint sour cream
6 eggs
6 tbsp. flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice (bottled kind isn't as good)
cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease and flour a springform pan...shake out excess flour
Have dairy products at room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl cream sour cream and cream cheese together. Add
ricotta cheese and mix until smooth. Then, add flour and sugar, and mix until
well blended. Add the eggs 2 at a time until well blended. Please make sure
to scrape the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla extract and fresh lemon
juice. Stir until well mixed. Pour cheesecake mixture into prepared pan, and
sprinkle cinnamon on top. Bake in a preheated oven for one hour. After one
hour, turn heat off and let the cheesecake stay in the oven for one more
hour. Afterwards, take it out and let it cool for about 2 or 3 hours. Then,
refrigerate covering with plastic wrap. Cake will rise high in the oven and
then fall. It frequently cracks and it may be made several days in advance.
The cheesecake gets creamier upon sitting.
Enjoy!
