It is also one of those recipes that is a classic but you can never find in most cookbooks. I have fooled my kids with this as well as seen it done on TV. Everyone thinks that the sauerkraut is coconut. So be sure to rinse and drain the sauerkraut several times when you make this recipe. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Sour Cream Chocolate Layer Cake Categories: Chocolate, Cakes, Desserts Yield: 12 servings 2 c Flour; Unbleached, Sifted 2 c Sugar 1 1/4 ts Baking Soda 1/2 ts Baking Powder 1 ts Salt 1/4 c Vegetable Shorteneing 3/4 c Sour Cream 1 ts Vanilla Extract 2 ea Eggs; Large 1 c ;Water 4 oz Baking Chocolate ----------------------------------FROSTING---------------------------------- 1/3 c Butter Or Regular Margarine 3 c Confectioners' sugar 1/2 c Sour Cream 3 oz Baking Chocolate Sift togetehr the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl.

Increase speed to high and beat an additional 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter into 2 greased and waxed-paper lined 9-inch round cake pans. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. Oven for 35 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pans on racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on the racks. Place one cake layer on serving plate. Spread with Sour Cream / Chocolate Frosting. Top with second cake layer. Frost sides and top of the cake with the remaining Sour Cream/Chocolate Frosting. SOUR CREAM/CHOCOLATE FROSTING: Combine the softened butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, and sour cream in a mixing bowl; blend well. Add chocolate which has been melted and cooled and vanilla. Beat until smooth. NOTE: I have seen reference to people having trouble with their layer cakes and how they rise. Try this little trick when making this cake. Take the layer that has the least amount of rise on the top and trim it to be flat with a sharp knife. Place the trimmed side down (layer should be upside down). Then frost between layers and place the other layer on right side up and finished frosting. It will give the illusion of having a cake with only one domed layer and will sit better on your cake plate. Also the trimmings are great eating just plain for the cook or for the kids. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Old World Chocolate Cake Categories: Chocolate, Cakes, Desserts Yield: 12 servings 1 1/2 c Cake Flour; Sifted 1 1/4 c Sugar 1/3 c Cocoa; Baking 1 tb Instant Coffee 1 1/3 ts Baking Soda 3/4 ts Salt 2/3 c Vegetable Shortening 1 c Buttermilk 1 ts Vanilla Extract 2 ea Eggs; Large --------------------------SWEETENED WHIPPED CREAM-------------------------- 1 c Heavy Whipping Cream 2 tb Sugar 1 ts Vanilla Extract Sift the cake flour, sugar, cocoa, instant coffee, baking soda and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

Place heads (if you have them), and peels in a small saucepan and add the water. Bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat and let boil slowly for 15-20 minutes. Strain and discard the heads and peels. Place the oil in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot and place over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers, and celery and saute stirring often, until the vegetables are very soft, about 45 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, salt, peppers, herbs, sugar, and shrimp stock and return to simmer. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, This is your creole sauce; it can be prepared 1 or 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator (I find the sauce is even better after sitting a couple of days in the refrigerator). When you are ready to serve, return the sauce to a simmer and add the shrimp. Cook until they turn pink, 5-7 minutes. Stir in the green onions and parsley and let cook for 1 minute more. Serve on flat plates over beds of rice. Serves 6-8. SHRIMP AND HAM OR TASSO JAMBALAYA: Prepare Shrimp Creole as above, but add about a pound of cubed ham and a 4-ounce can of tomatoe sauce to the finished sauce and simmer 45 minutes more. Meanwhile, boil or steam 2-3 cups raw rice. Finish the sauce (which will be your jambalaya base) by adding the shrimp, green onions, and parsley as above. (If you are using leftover Shrimp Creole, remove the shrimp and reheat the sauce, add the ham and tomato sauce, and proceed as above. Return the shrimp to the pan at the end of cooking.) Place the hot, cooked rice in a large bowl, pour the jambalaya base over, mix well, and serve. You can also prepare this dish with sausage instead of ham.

Redfish and pompano are ideal for this method of cooking. If tilefish is used, you may have to split the fillets in half horizontally to have proper thickness. If you can't get any of these fish, salmon steaks or red snapper fillets can be substituted. In any case, the fillets or steaks must not be more than 3/4 inch thick. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is beyond the smoking stage and you see white ash in the skillet bottom (the skillet cannot be too hot for this dish), at least 10 minutes. (FT - this recipe is *NOT* for the faint of heart) Meanwhile, pour 2 Tablespoons melted butter in each of 6 small ramekins; set aside and keep warm. Reserve the remaining butter in its skillet. Heat the serving plates in a 250F oven. Thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Dip each fillet in the reserved melted butter so that both sides are well coated; then sprinkle seasoning mix generously and evenly on both sides of the fillets, patting by hand. Place in the hot skillet and pour 1 teaspoon melted butter on top of each fillet (be careful, as the butter may flame up). Cook, uncovered, over the same high heat until the underside looks charred, about 2 minutes (the time will vary according to the fillet's thickness and the heat of the skillet). Turn the fish over and again pour 1 teaspoon butter on top; cook until fish is done, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining fillets. Serve each fillet while piping hot. To serve, place one fillet and a ramekin of butter on each heated serving plate. I had this in K Pauls Restaurant in New Orleans. It is a taste experience you will never forgive yourself for missing should you ever be lucky enough to find yourself in N'awlins and you don't go to K Paul's and order this.

Mrs. Bernard Mahon ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Frances Cook's Bread & Rolls Categories: Breads, English Yield: 24 servings 3/4 c Milk 1 ea Fresh cake yeast 1/4 c Sugar 3 tb Shortening 1 ts Salt 1 ea Egg 3 1/2 c Flour 1/4 c Lukewarm water Scald milk and pour over sugar, shortening, & salt. Let it cool to lukewarm while softening yeast in a small bowl with the warm water. When soft, add the egg and beat together slightly. Pour the yeast/egg mixture into the milk mixture and stir them together. The flour may be sifted or poured into the liquid. With a large spoon, stir until flour/milk is well mixed. You should have a firm, but not stiff dough. Without removing it from the bowl, cover the dough with a plate or towel and set aside to rise until double in bulk (about 2 hrs depending on the temperature in the kitchen). Instead of letting the dough rise at this point you may put it in the refrigerator and use it later, or the next day. Watch to make sure it doesn't spill out of the bowl. If it starts to spill before you're ready to use it, punch it back down. Refrigerated dough is easier to handle but takes longer to rise. BREAD: If you want to make bread, dump the dough out of the bowl onto a floured surface and with more flour as needed to keep it from sticking, knead it until springy and easy to handle. This dough does not require a lot of kneading; only enough to make it easy to handle. For 2 medium size loaves cut the dough in half and knead/shape each into loaves and put into greased baking pans. Allow about 2 hours for the dough to double again. Bake in a 375 degree oven until lightly browned on top (if uncertain whether or not bread is done, tip out of pan and see if bottom is browned too). ROLLS: To make rolls, work and knead dough until springy and easily handled. Roll out with a rolling pin and cut with a biscuit cutter and fold over and place on a greased cookie sheet (Parkerhouse rolls), or break dough into small pieces, make into little balls and place 3 in each section of a greased muffin pan (Cloverleaf rolls). SWEET ROLLS: For Christmas bread or sweet rolls, roll out dough as for Parkerhouse rolls, except trying to make an oblong instead of a round. Spread it with raisins and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Dot with butter and roll as for a jelly roll. Slice and place on a greased pan or make into a circle and make slashes through the dough at intervals. Let rise and bake as for loaves. Top with an icing made of confectioners' sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla or rum flavoring and drizzle over the bread or rolls while hot. Decorate with nuts or fruits. If you want to make a whole wheat bread, use half white and half whole wheat flour, and use brown sugar instead of white. The amounts above will yield 1 large or 2 medium loaves of bread, or 2 dozen large rolls. Mrs. Harold T. Cook ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Whole Wheat Batter Bread Categories: Breads, English Yield: 1 servings 8 c Whole wheat flour 4 tb Honey-molasses 3 tb Wheat germ 3 1/2 c Very warm water 3 tb Soya flour 3 c Corn oil 3 pk Yeast 2 tb Salt This recipe is for 2 loaves of bread. If one loaf is desired, use 2 packages yeast instead of 3 and cut all other ingredients in half. Wheat germ and soya flour may be omitted. Put flour in oven to warm, at lowest heat. In a VERY large bowl, dissolve yeast in 3/4 cup of very warm water. Add honey to yeast. Coat loaf pans well with margarine and flour. Add oil, 2-1/2 cups warm water, and 2T salt yeast. Add about 4c flour mixture and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Gradually add more flour, beating well. Dough should be sticky - if runny, add more flour. Put in pans, smoothing top and making sure dough is pushed into corners. Cover with hot, wet towel and let rise in warm place. Check bread in about 20 minutes and keep checking to be sure dough doesn't rise over lip of pan. When dough has risen ALMOST to lip of pan, bake at 450 degrees for about 40 mins. Remove from pan immediately and cool on rack. Mrs. William W.

CRUST: Sift together the flour, salt and sugar into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the butter to the flour all at once. Mix together until well blended. Then add the shortening and continue to blend by cutting it into the flour mixture. The mixture will begin to look like crumbs or small pebbles. It will have the texture of oatmeal. Sprinkle the water over the dough, distributing it evenly throughout. The dough will be come sticky and cling together. Gather it into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. When the pastry has chilled, roll it out on a pastry board to a thickness of 1/8-inch. The easiest way is to roll the dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Roll the dough up onto the rolling pin and transfer it to a 9-inch pie tin. Gently press it into the tin without stretching it. Use the excess pastry to make flutes or cut away the excess with a sharp knife or scissors. Prick the bottom of the pastry shell thoroughly to prevent trapped air from bubbling the dough. Butter a sheet of aluminum foil and place the foil down into the shell. Weight it down with weights or beans to keep the crust from lifting up. Bake the crust for 7 to 10 minutes then remove the weight and the foil. Return the crust to the oven and continue baking for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. If you have difficulty rolling out the dough, do not reroll it; just patch the tears or holes. Rerolling will make the pastry tough. FILLING: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Press the cottage cheese through a sieve. In a small saucepan, gently heat the cream and the sherry until steamy, do not allow it to scorch. In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, rosewater, and the spices until frothy -- about 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cottage cheese until it is smooth then add the egg mixture and blend well. Add the hot cream and sherry slowly to the cheese mixture and beat until well blended. Stir in the currants and pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Bake for about 30 minutes, then allow to cool. Chill and sprinkle with cinnamon. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Finnish Curd Cake Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Cheese/eggs Yield: 8 servings -----------------------------------CRUST----------------------------------- 2 tb Butter; * 2/3 c Bread Crumbs; Dry ** ------------------------------------CAKE------------------------------------ 1 1/2 ts Baking Powder 1 c Unbleached Flour; Sifted 1 c Cottage Cheese 2 ea Eggs; Large 1/2 c Brown Sugar 1 ts Cinnamon; Ground 1 ts Cardamom; Ground 1/2 ts Ginger; Ground 1 ts Orange Rind; Grated 1 ts Lemon Rind; Grated 1/2 c Butter, Melted, * * Use Sweet Cream Butter In this recipe. ** Note: This recipe can vary depending on the type of pan you use.

Press the cheese through a sieve. Combine the cheese with the egg yolks, beating in 1 yolk at a time. Add the sugar and blend well. Heat the cream in a large saucepan until it almost boils, then add the cheese mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat before it begins to boil. Stir in the fruits, almonds, and lemon rind. Cool. Cream together the butter and the vanilla, then stir into the cooled cheese mixture. Line the flower pot with several layers of moistened cheesecloth, leaving enough cloth at the top to form a flap that will cover the pot. Fill the pot with the cheese mixture and cover with the flap. Put a weight on the top and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. The whey (liquid) will drip out the bottom of the pot, so be sure to place a pan under it. When drained, carefully unmold the cake with a knife. Remove the cheesecloth and smooth the sides with a hot knife. Prepare the sauce. Beat together the egg yolks, sugar, Madeira, and lemon rind in the top of a double boiler. Cook and continue beating until the mixture thickens. Stir in the lemon juice and the rum, then chill briefly. Pour the sauce over the cheesecake and serve. NOTE: This very unusual cheesecake is a traditional Russian Easter dish. In the old days, the custom was to decorate it with paper flowers or religious emblems and have the priest come by and bless it. Back then, it was made in a special pyramid-shaped form, but you can make it in an ordinary red clay flower pot. Visually, the effect is quite striking, and the drainage hole allows the excess whey to escape. To make paskha, you will need a large flower pot and some cheesecloth. The paskha will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks, but be sure to make it at least three days in advance. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Polish Cheesecake Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Cheese/eggs Yield: 10 servings -----------------------------------CRUST----------------------------------- 1 x Shortbread; See Recipe # 23 ---------------------------------CHEESECAKE--------------------------------- 4 c Dry Curd Cheese; 2 lbs, * 1/2 ts Salt 1 1/2 c Sugar; Granulated 4 ea Eggs; Large, Lightly Beaten 1/2 c Butter; Melted 1 ts Vanilla Extract -------------------------------CRUMB TOPPING------------------------------- 1 c Unbleached Flour 1/2 c Confectioners' Sugar 1/2 ts Cinnamon; Ground 1/4 c Brown Sugar; Packed 1/4 c Butter; Melted 1 tb Unbleached Flour * Use either Dry Curd Cottage or Farmer cheese in this recipe.

Shape the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 10 minutes. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4-inch. You should have a circle of about 11 inches in diameter. For best results, roll out your dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper, then peel away the paper and cut the crust in a 9-inch circle. Place the circle inside a 9-inch springform pan. Prick the crust several times with a fork to keep the crust from puffing up during the baking. Place the springform pan in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until light brown. Allow to cool.

Place over boiling water (the water should not touch the bottom of the top half of the double boiler.). Beat on high speed about 7 minutes until the frosting forms peaks when the mixer is raised. Remove from boiling water (for the smoothest frosting, empty into a large bowl). Add the vanilla extract and continue beating on high speed until thick enough to spread, about 2 minutes. Spread on the sides and top of the cold banana cake.

Add onion and fry until bacon is crisp. Add peas and rice, then water. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender. ( I *ALWAYS* add a good sized shake or two of Louisiana Hot sauce (NOT Tabasco, there is a difference) Yields 10 servings This is the basic recipe (from Southern Living) It can be adjusted in several ways: 1) substitute ham hocks for bacon by boiling them in the 2 C water until the meat comes off the bone. Fry onion in bacon grease until yellow. Or use any fatty pork meat: trimmings from a roast or chops, "fat-back", etc 2) I prefer Purple-Hull Peas over the Black-eyes, But if you don't know the difference (or can't find them) it's not a big deal. It is important to use fresh peas, frozen if you have to...if you can only get canned or dried peas, nevermind and fix something else. 3) I discovered a secret to Southern style cooking: Cavender's Greek Seasoning. Put a little of it in everything, along with the Louisiana Hot Sauce makes everything taste better. This is what I would do for the greens as a regular family dinner. Later I'll get out the company recipe. BTW Southern Living is *the* Soutern magazine and has the best recipes for regional favorites.

Categories: Appetizers, Thai, Seafood Yield: 6 servings 1 lb Fresh Squids. 1 tb Fresh Ginger Root, Julienne. 1 tb Lemongrass, Sliced Fine. 2 tb Onion, Chopped. 3 tb Lime or Lemon Juice. 3 tb Fish Sauce. 1 tb Scallions, Chopped. 1 tb Cilantro, Chopped. 1/2 c Mint Leaves. 10 Crushed Hot Chili Peppers. Clean and wash the fresh squids, removing all inner matters and skin. Cut through the side so that the meat is in a single "sheet". Cut the meat into strips about 3/4" to 1" wide and 2" long. If desired, slash one side in a close criss-cross patterns, and the strip will curl into a roll upon cooking. Place the squid pieces into a wire strainer with long handle. Boil a pot of water, and immerse the strainer with the squid meat into the boiling water to cook. For very fresh squid, cook until the meat had turned opaque and heated through. For frozen, or "not so fresh" squid, it is advisable to cook a little longer. Lift the squid out of the boiling water and let drain in the strainer. Place the well drained squid meat into a bowl and add fish sauce and lime or lemon juice. Adjust tastes by adding more of either ingredients. The tastes should be tangy sour with sufficient salty tastes. Add lemongrass, ginger roots (very finely julienne), and chopped onions, and mix well. (Optionally, you may add dry ground hot chilli pepper to taste). Place on a serving platter (lined with lettuce leaves) and topped with chopped scallions, cilantro, mint leaves, and crushed hot chilli peppers.

NOTES: Although substitutions for hard-to-find ingredients have been made, this curry paste still carries the true flavor of Thailand. Use it in Thai curries unless otherwise specified. A little added to stir-fry dishes or rubbed into chicken as a marinade before barbequing or grilling will add a real Thai accent. A teaspoon added to a meatloaf mixture or meat balls, transforms them into something that is rather exotic, and when combined with peanut butter and coconut milk, it makes a tangy and aromatic sauce for Thai-style satays. Use whole spices whenever possible. Anchovy fillets may be substituted for the anchovy paste. Shallots are preferable to onions; if not available, use an equal amount of a red onion.

Cake 1 Fudge Icing (Recipe) 1 Caramel Sauce (Recipe) 1 1/2 c Cashews, roasted, unsalted 2 c Heavy Cream 2 1/2 lb Semisweet Chocolate 1/3 c Light Corn Syrup 1 c Brown Sugar, firmly packed 2 ts Butter 1/8 ts Salt 1/3 c Heavy Cream FOR CAKE: Slice round cake layers horizontally in half to make 4 round cake layers. Place 1 layer on plate and top with Fudge Icing, Caramel Sauce and Cashews. Repeat with next 2 cake layers. Place final cake layer on top, frost top and sides of cake with Fudge Icing and cover sides of cake with chopped cashews. FUDGE ICING: Bring cream to boil. Stir in chocolate until melted and smooth. This will be very soft but will harden when cooled. Refrigerate until workable consistency. NOTE: The time it takes to get to a workable consistency depends on the weather. This is much like making fudge candy. The author, (Arlene Lightsey), made this sauce on a cool, clear day and had no problem. CARAMEL SAUCE: Bring first 4 ingredients to boil and reduce to thick syrup. Very carefully, (because it will splatter), add cream. Refrigerate until cool.

Cooking 1 1/4 hours. Cook the snails in advance in a court bouillon, then remove them from their shells. [There's a description of court bouillon in "Joy of Cooking." Basically, a court bouillon is an aromatic liquid or stock, sometimes containing wine, vinegar or lemon juice, used mainly for cooking fish and shellfish, but also sometimes white offal (variety meats) and some white meats. -- mkm] Chop them, together with the peeled shallots and a small bunch of well-washed chives. Place these ingredients in a saucepan with the wine, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak the frogs' legs in the milk for 1 hour. Drain them, then roll in flour and saute in the butter in a frying pan over a brisk heat for 10 minutes. Add the snails, together with their cooking juices, and season with salt and pepper.

Make a well in the center Mix eggs, olive oil and water and pour into well. Stir flour into egg mixture until dough forms into a ball. Turn out onto floured surface and kneed for about 10 minutes, adding extra flour if too moist. Kneed until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with towel and rest for 30 minutes. Cut into 4 portions, keep pieces covered until used. Get out your machine and set dial on widest setting (1 on the Atlas). Flatten dough ball and run through rollers several times until smooth (you may add a bit of flour here too). Move rollers to next setting and roll again once. Continue to roll until pasta is the proper thickness (5 or 6 on the Atlas). You may cut sheet in half if it's too long. Continue with other pieces and then put the finished sheet aside to dry for about 3 minutes. Attach desired pasta cutters and run the sheets through. You can use right away or spread out the pasta to dry overnight and then freeze extra. To cook, drop into large pot of boiling water with a bit of salt and oil. Cook until al dente, which should only take about 2 minutes for fresh. A tip - be sure the dough is fairly dry, otherwise it won't cut into separate strands. Another tip - You can substitute heavy cream for the 1/3 c water for a richer pasta. Great for fettuchini alfredo. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Coquilles Saint-Jacques Sautees A la Provencale Categories: Italian, Seafood Yield: 4 servings 1 lb Or about 2 c. scallops (preferably a no-stick Cut into 1/2 inch pieces Pan) Lemon juice, salt, and 2 tb Minced shallots or Pepper Scallions 1/2 c Flour 1 Clove garlic, mashed Olive oil or cooking oil 2 tb Butter A 10 inch frying pan 2 tb Minced fresh parsley Dry the scallops in paper towels, then place on a large sheet of waxed paper. Sprinkle with drops of lemon juice, then with salt and pepper. The moment before sauteing, dredge with flour and shake in a sieve to dislodge excess flour. Film the frying pan with a 1/16-inch layer of oil. When almost smoking, add the scallops. Toss for 4 to 5 minutes until scallops are lightly browned. Then toss for a moment with the shallots or scallions, and garlic; finally toss with the butter and parsley and serve. Suggested accompaniments: If the scallops are a first course, accompany with French bread. For a main course, accompany with broiled tomatoes and green beans. Notes: Sauteed scallops should be crisp light brown outside and moistly tender inside. Keys to success are: have your sauteing oil very hot before the scallops go in, and have no more than one layer of scallops in the pan. Otherwise the scallops will steam, exude moisture, and will not brown. You may find, in using frozen scallops, that they will start out nicely, then suddenly release juices in the pan; to avoid this, blanch them before cooking by dropping them in a large pan of rapidly boiling water and bringing them quickly back to the boil, then drain immediately, dry them, and proceed with the recipe. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Spinach Stuffed Shells Categories: Italian, Vegetarian Yield: 8 servings 2 tb Vegetable oil Salt and pepper to taste 1 sm Onion, diced 12 oz Pkg. jumbo macaroni shells 28 oz Can tomatoes 20 oz Frozen creamed spinach in 6 oz Can tomato paste Boiling bags 2 ts Brown sugar 15 oz Container ricotta cheese 1 1/2 ts Oregano leaves 8 oz Shredded mozzarella cheese In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil and cook onion until tender, stirring often.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 to 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. (Use shorter time if you are using a pasta machine to roll the dough.) RICOTTA FILLING Combine in a large bowl all filling ingredients. ASSEMBLY Divide dough into fourths. Lightly roll each portion 1/8 inch thick and cut lengthwise into 5 inch wide strips. Use the strips immediately--do nt allow to dry. Place 2 teaspoons of the filling 1 1/2 inches from the narrow end and in the center of the strip. Continue along the strip, placing the filling at about 3 1/2 inch intervals. Fold the strip in half lengthwise, covering the mounds of filling. To seal, press the edges together with the tines of a fork. Press gently between the mounds to form rectangles about 3 1/2 inches long. Cut apart with a pastry cutter and press the cut edges with the tines of a fork to seal. COOKING In a large saucepan bring to a boil: 7 quarts water 2 Tb salt Gradually add the ravioli (about one-half at a time). Boil rapidly, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until tender.

Cook pasta and drain. Add pepper, onion and bacon Add 2 eggs and stir over med heat until egg starts to cook. You don't want the eggs to become scrambled. It should be on the creamy side. Add pepper and parmesan to taste. PASTA: Mix the flour, salt and olive oil, then beat in the eggs, (a food processor, or a mixmaster does this very easily). When well combined, add all of the water. Work until this becomes a dough ball, and then knead for two minutes, stretching out the dough, and folding it. Put in a plastic bag, and store in the fridge for at least a half an hour. Divide the dough into four pieces, and run through the machine, adding flour (this is a good place to work in some semolina) so that the dough is not sticky. After kneading on the widest setting for about 10/15 passes, reduce the size of the roller one step at a time until you reach the thinnest size. Put through the cutter of your choice, and dry on a rack or a line. Use fresh, or freeze unused portions. Easy, and quick and impresses the hell out of your guests! I sometimes add thyme, or oregano to my dough when mixing (about 2 t) and this adds nicely to the taste of the dough. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Eggplant Parmigiana Categories: Italian, Vegetarian Yield: 8 servings 1 lg Eggplant 4 oz Tomato paste 4 Eggs, beaten 1 md Onion 1 1/2 c Sliced mushrooms 6 oz Ricotta cheese 3/4 c Diced celery Italian bread 4 Cloves garlic Crumbs 1 lb Mozzarella 16 oz Tomato sauce 1/4 c Grated parmesan cheese 4 oz Firm tofu Oregano 2 Bay leaves Basal 16 oz Whole tomatos Olive oil Cut eggplant into 1/4" thick slices.

Heat 4 to 6 quarts of salted water to the boil in a large pot; add 2 tablespoons oil to help prevent pasta from sticking. Add half of the manicotti and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until not quite al dente. Stir occasionally with a long-handled fork. Hold a strainer over the pot and use a slotted spoon to remove 1 or 2 manicotti at a time from the boiling water, placing them in the strainer. Shake manicotti free of water over the pot. Spread a clean kitchen towel on the kitchen counter. Place the manicotti side by side on the towel, which will absorb all the remaining moisture. (The shells must be completely dry before stuffing.) Repeat until all shells are cooked. Cool. Generously butter a baking dish, 13 x 10 inches. Fill each shell with some of the stuffing, letting a little of the stuffing come out on either end. This is best done with a pastry tube and a large nozzle; otherwisew use a regular teaspoon.

Slice the skins off the eggplants, and slice them about 1/4 inch thick from top to bottom. Then slice across to get pieces the size of French fries. Put the eggplant strips in a bowl and toss with the 1/2 cup of salt. 2. Move the eggplant strips into a colander, arraying them in a relatively uniform layer up the sides. Put a bowl the same size as the colander inside the colander and weigh it down with three or so pounds of weight. [I find a foil covered common solid brick is a handy kitchen tool] Put the entire apparatus in the sink to drain for 45 minutes. This will remove any bitterness from the eggplant. 3. Rinse the salt off the eggplant with cold water. Drain it well, then SQUEEZE it dry. Put the eggplant in a bowl with the vinegar, and marinate it for 30 minutes. [It will return to shape like a wet sponge] 4. Drain the vinegar from the eggplant and squeeze it dry again. Put the eggplant into a bowl with all the other ingredients. 5. Pour the contents into a canning jar. Make SURE therre is enough olive oil to completely cover all the eggplant about 1/2 inch deep. Tightly seal and refrigerate the jar. Marinate for at least a week; the ideal time is actually three months, and the eggplant will keep getting better even after that. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Green Bean And Red Onion Salad Categories: Italian, Salads Yield: 4 servings 1 lb Green beans 3 tb Olive oil 1 sm Red onion, very 1/4 ts Salt Thinly sliced 1/4 ts Freshly ground black 1/3 c Finely minced parsley Pepper 2 tb Minced fresh mint 1 ts White wine vinegar. 1/3 c Coarsely shredded Parmesan 1.

Shape into a mound, then make a well in the center with the "walls" of the flour even all around. Crack the eggs into the well and add the oil. Using a fork, mix the flour together with the egg mixture, keeping the "well" intact by cupping one hand around the wall of flour while you brush flour from the top of the wall into the well, incor-porating it into the egg mixture. The mixture of eggs and flour will get very sticky; keep incorporating flour with the fork while you con-tinue to confine the flour with your other hand so it doesn't scatter itself all over the working surface. (You won't be able to get all the flour incorporated, and some flakes of the mixture won't be absorbed, but don't be concerned with this small amount---you'll have plenty of pasta.) When you have incorporated all the flour you can into the egg mixture, sprinkle with the water. This may make the mixture sticky. Sprinkle with a little more flour---just a little---so you can handle the dough, and mix the dough vigorously with your hands. When the dough is smooth and elastic, knead it for 5 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in a damp towel, and let rest for 30 minutes to an hour. Divide the dough into eight. Roll out as thin as possible---start at the thickest setting your machine allows, and run each piece through many times, each time setting the machine one notch thinner. The dough will shrink back a little, so roll it thinner than you want it. Run through the cutters, or cut with a knife into the desired shapes, and place on waxed paper until ready to cook. If storing, allow to dry and wrap in plastic. Keep in a cool, dry place. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Microwave Lasagna Categories: Italian, Pasta, Microwave Yield: 6 servings 10 UNCOOKED lasagna noodles 1 Egg 32 oz Jar spaghetti sauce (I use Pepper to taste Prego Green Label) mixed 12 oz Mozzarella, either With Shredded or sliced 1/2 c Water 1/4 c Parmesan 1 lb Ricotta Cheese mixed with layer in this order, in a 9x13 pyrex pan: sauce, 1/2 the noodles, 1/2 ricotta, 1/2 mozzarella, sauce, noodles, ricotta, mozzarella, sauce.

Add dry mustard, salt, pepper and cayenne, and mix again. SLOWLY drizzle in the oil while the blade is moving. Transfer to tempered glass jars and store in refrigerator (for up to 8 to 10 weeks) or in the freezer for up to a year. NOTES: Sorrel's peak season is summer, although you can find hothouse sorrel year round in some stores. You may reduce the amount of orange peel by 1/4 or 1/2 if you'd like to emphasize the sorrel or other flavors. Walnuts or almonds may be substituted for the pine nuts. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: THYME-LEMON ZEST HERB PASTE Categories: Italian, Sauces Yield: 1 servings 4 tb Chopped shallots 2 tb Chopped parsley (about 4 shallots) 1 tb Chopped shives 3 tb Ground almonds 3/4 ts Salt (about 24 almonds) 1/2 ts Ground white pepper Grated peel of 4 lemons 3/4 c Olive oil 2 tb Fresh thyme (heaping) 1.

Break the spaghetti strands into thirds. Cook the spaghetti in a large quantity of boiling water until tender (about 8 min). Drain and set aside. 2. Whisk together in a small bowl the mayonnaise, garlic, vinegar, and curry powder. Add this to the cooked spaghetti and gently mix. 3. Scrape the asparagur and cut each spear on the diagonal into 1" pieces. Steam these pieces into a small amount of boiling water 5 min. Drain and stir into the spaghetti. 4. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Slice each half crosswise into 1/4" pieces. Stir these into the spaghetti. 5. Cut the snow peas on the diagonal into 3/4" slices. Stir these into the spaghetti. 6. Stir in the mushrooms and tomatoes. 7. Combine the parsley and basil. Shower the salad with the combined herbs but do not toss. 8. Salad can be served now or covered and refrigerated. If chilled, let it return nearly to room temperature for best flavor. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Riccota Categories: Italian, Cheese/eggs Yield: 8 servings 2 qt Milk 1/4 c Fresh lemon juice 3 tb Distilled white vinegar OR Salt (if desired) Pour the milk into a heavy stainless-steel or enameled saucepan and stir in the white vinegar or lemon juice. Set the pot over very low heat and bring the milk very slowly to a simmer (a reading of 200 degrees on a thermometer). There will be fine beads around the edge of the milk, which will look foamy but will not appear to be boiling. Remove the pot from the heat and set it, covered, in a spot where it can remain undisturbed and where the temperature will remain fairly uniform at a reading between 80 and 100 degrees. (An unheated oven, without a pilot light, is a good spot.) Let the milk stand for about 6 hours, or until a solik curd floats above the liquid (the whey). More or less time may be required, depending on the temperature of the environment and the characteristics of the milk. Line a fine sieve with doubled, dampened cheesecloth (or, better yet, two layers of very fine-mesh nylon curtain netting, dampened) and set it over a bowl. Dip the curds and whey into the sieve and allow the whey to drain off until the ricotta is yogurtlike. If you want firmer cheese, tie the corners of the cloth to form a bag and hang it up to drain further. (In warm weather, the draining might well be completed in the refrigerator.) When the texture of the ricotta is to your liking, add a little salt (from 1/4 to 1/2 t) if you wish. Store the cheese, covered, in the refrigerator. It will be at its best after it has chilled for 24 hours, and will keep well for 4 or 5 days. Author's notes: Unlike most other fresh cheeses-cottage and cream cheese, for example-the curd of this bland, light cheese is fromed from the direct addition of acid to the milk, not by fermentation. For that reason the time required to make it is generally short. If you haven't used this Italian favorite before, try it in place of cottage cheese, as well as in Italian recipes for such dishes as lasagne and manicotti. You'll find it is a bit creamier than most cottage cheeses, with a much finer curd. For a pleasant light milk dessert, sweeten ricotta slightly and top it with a sprinkling of grated chocolate or cinnamon. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Spaghetti Squash Categories: Italian, Vegetables Yield: 4 servings 1 Spaghetti squash, 1 1/2 2 c Tomato sauce To 2 lbs. 1/2 ts Oregano 1 c Grated Cheddar cheese 1/2 ts Garlic powder 1 c Grated Mozzarella cheese 1/2 ts Salt (or less) 1 1/2 c Grated zucchini or diced Dash of pepper Green pepper 1/2 c Grated Parmesan cheese Cut squash in half lengthwise.

Brush the tomatoes with the remaining oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve at once. * Olivada is a puree of black or green olives packed in oil that is sold at specialty food stores. You can substitute tapenade or make your own. (Note from me: We have a batch of pesto in the refrigerator so I plan to use it instead of the olivada.) I also plan to use Creole or homegrown tomatoes. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Insalata de Peperoni Arrostiti (ROASTED PEPPER SALAD) Categories: Italian, Salads Yield: 8 servings 1 tb Mayonnaise 6 md Green bell peppers 1 ts Anchovy paste OR (about 2-1/2 lbs.) 1 Anchovy fillet--rinsed, 6 md Red bell peppers Dried & mashed (about 2-1/2 lbs.) 1 ts Red wine vinegar 1/2 c Fresh peas OR 1 c Extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 c Thawed frozen peas 1/2 md Red onion, minced 1 lb Fresh mozzarella cheese, 3 tb Chopped parsley Cut into 1/4-inch slices 3 tb Capers--rinsed, dried & 6 md Ripe tomatoes Finely chopped (about 3 lbs), peeled and 1/2 ts Salt Sliced 1/4-inch thick 1.

In a medium nonreactive skillet, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Discard the garlic if desired. 2. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Soft bits of tomato will remain, and the sauce should be thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon. (The sauce can be made ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.) Stir in the basil just before serving. * Crushed, peeled garlic cloves can be discarded after browning for a very subtle flavor or left in and discarded at the end of cooking for a slightly more emphatic garlic taste. More often than not I used minced garlic and leave it in. This gives the sauce a strong garlic flavor. NOTE: Many southern Italians refer to a quick tomato sauce as "marinara" because it could be made at a moment's notice by a fisherman's wife upon her husband's return. Serve over breaded or fried foods or mixed into baked pasta dishes or spaghetti, it is the most common southern Italian tomato sauce. I like to make a simple marinara, which I can later adjust by adding sauteed onions, other fresh herbs, such as oregano, parsley, marjoram or rosemary, or by adding hot peppers.

In a small bowl, soak the raisins in warm water for 20 minutes; drain and set aside. 2. If you want to peel the peppers, cut the quartered peppers in half lengthwise and flatten slightly. Peel the pieces with a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler, then cut them lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips. Alternatively, slice unpeeled peppers into 1/4-inch strips. 3. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the raisins and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the peppers, sugar, vinegar and salt. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.

Serve at room temperature. (This dish can also be made several hours ahead and reheated just before serving.) This delicious and unusual pepper dish is from Basilicata in the instep of the Italian boot. It is wonderful with grilled meat, especially Italian sausages. Peeling the peppers without roasting them first makes them particularly succulent, but peeling isn't mandatory.

(This may be done days in advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using). Combine the yeast with 1/2 cup warm water in large bowl. Stir with a fork or small whisk. Add an additional 2 1/2 cups water. Add salt. Stir in the flour, 1 c at a time, beginning with the whole wheat. Use a whisk until the dough becomes stiff, then switch to a wooden spoon. Turn the dough onto a well floured work surface. Knead rhythmically for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dough is smooth, springy, nonsticky, and elastic. Add more flour as you knead if necessary. The dough is ready if you can poke to fingers into it and the resulting indentations spring back. Cover the dough with a cloth and let rest while you wash, dry and generously butter the bowl. Knead the dough a few more turns, then form it into a ball and place it in the bowl. Turn it to coat with butter. Cover the bowl and put it in a warm, draft-free place until the dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. It has risen sufficiently when you can gently poke a finger into the dough and the hole reamins. (Don't poke too enthusiastically or the dough will collapse.) When doubled, flour your fist and punch the dough down. Knead it a few times and then let it rest. Sprinkle 1 large or 2 small baking sheets with a liberal amount of cornmeal. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. While you work with 1 piece, keep the other 2 covered. Flour your work surface. With a rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a rectangle approximately 14-inches long X 7-inches wide. Spread it with softened garlic butter. Roll the long edge toward the opposite long edge, as if you were rolling up a rug. Pinch ends closed. Place loves on the baking sheets. With a sharp knife or razor blade, slash the loves lightly at 2-inch intervals. Cover with a cloth and place in a warm draft-free place to rise until doubled, about 1/2 hour. Meanwhile preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes with a pan of boiling water on the oven floor. Spray loaves with water several times during the baking process. (This helps the bread form a thick crusty shell.) To test for doneness, rap the loaf with your knuckles. The loaf should sound hollow.

Slice the skins off the eggplants, and slice them about 1/4 inch thick from top to bottom. Then slice across to get pieces the size of French fries. Put the eggplant strips in a bowl and toss with the 1/2 cup of salt. 2. Move the eggplant strips into a colander, arraying them in a relatively uniform layer up the sides. Put a bowl the same size as the colander inside the colander and weigh it down with three or so pounds of weight. [I find a foil covered common solid brick is a handy kitchen tool.] Put the entire apparatus in the sink to drain for 45 minutes. This will remove any bitterness from the eggplant. 3. Rinse the salt off the eggplant with cold water. Drain it well, then SQUEEZE it dry. Put the eggplant in a bowl with the vinegar, and marinate it for 30 minutes. [It will return to shape like a wet sponge.] 4. Drain the vinegar from the eggplant and squeeze it dry again. Put the eggplant into a bowl with all the other ingredients. 5. Pour the contents into a canning jar. Make SURE there is enough olive oil to completely cover all the eggplant about 1/2 inch deep. Tightly seal and refrigerate the jar. Marinate for at least a week; The ideal time is actually three months, and the eggplant will keep getting better even after that. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Clam Chowder #2 Categories: Soups Yield: 1 servings 1/2 lb Bacon 2 ts Seafood Chesapeake brand 1 lg Onion chopped Bay-style seafood 2 Ribs celery peeled and Seasoning Diced 1 qt (4 cup) half and half 5 sm Can minced clams OR Divided 1 lg Can (about 51-oz) 2 tb Flour The day before you wish to serve the soup, fry the bacon until crisp and remove.

Chop stalk end of each ear of corn flush with the base of the ear. Shuck, being careful to keep corn husks intact for later use. Wash husks, and drain. 2. Cut corn off cobs. Grind corn with the Jack cheese in a meat grinder, blender or food processor. 3. Cream lard and butter to a smooth and fluffy consistency with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add the ground corn and cheese mixture, sugar, cream and salt to taste. Continue to mix with the electric mixer until mixture looks like whipped cream. Add more cream if mixture is dry. 4. Cut the roasted green chiles into long strips. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the corn mixture on each corn husk. Spread mixture out into a rectangle and allow at least 2 inches of husk to extend below the corn mixture and a few inches of margin on both sides of the husk. Place about 2 strips of green chile down the center of the corn mixture, then sprinkle with a few pinches of the grated Cheddar cheese. 5. Hold the two sides of the tamale together to make the corn mixture fold up around the filling. Then tuck one edge of the husk over the top of the tamale and roll, tying the ends with strips of corn husks. If preferred, the bottom end of the husk can be folded up before rolling. If you plan to freeze the tamales, freeze them at this point. 6. Place the tamales upright on a rack in a pressure cooker or large steaming kettle.

Then place them in a large bowl and cover with tap water. (I put several plates on top of the corn husks to hold them down, because they have a tendency to float.) Let them soak for at least half an hour. Rinse the corn husks several times, to clean them. Then drain them well. Next, dry off the corn husks. While you do this, you can separate them into piles: big husks, medium, and too little to be worth using. At this time, you can also prepare some thin strips of corn husk, that you will use to tie the tamales together. (This is where you you the little pieces too small to make a tamale.) (I found that the pieces weren't long enogh to tie around the tamales, so I tied two shorter pieces of thin husk together. More on this later.) Make the tamales: Hold a large corn husk in your hand, with the narrow end pointing to the right. Take a spoonful of dough (I used a serving spoon, about 2 Tbs or so) and spread it on the corn husk, about 1-1/2 inches from the wide end, and about 4 inches from the narrow end. Spread the dough right up to the edge of the corn husk on one side, leaving enough of a flap to wrap around the tamale. (If the husk isn't wide enough for you to be able to wrap it around, you'll use another husk - more on this later.) Next, spread a spoonful (again, about 2 Tbs) of filling down the middle of the dough. Roll the sides of the corn husk in toward the center, bringing the edges of the dough together, enclosing the filling. Wrap the rest of the corn husk around to the back. If there is not enough husk to wrap around to the back, place another corn husk around the tamale, to hold the edge closed. Now, wrap the top (broad end) edge down, and flip the bottom part (the narrow end) up, so that it covers the edge of the broad end. Then, using the thin strips of corn husk, tie across the middle to hold the top and bottom flaps in place. Steaming the tamales: Stand the tamales on end in a steamer. If you don't have a steamer, you could put the tamales in a metal collander, and place the collander in a large pot. Just be sure that the tamales do not touch the water below. Bring the water to a brisk boil, and steam the tamales for at least an hour. I did it for an hour and 15 minutes. You can test one to see if they are done: the dough will easily separate from the husk. Just be careful - don't burn yourself on the steam! You can reheat tamales in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. (Don't try to re-steam them.) If you freeze them, you can reheat them by putting the frozen tamales in a casserole dish, covering with foil, and heating in a 350 oven for 30-35 minutes. This was a lot of work, but it was well worth it! ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: OYSTERS BIENVILLE Categories: Seafood Yield: 6 servings 3 oz Oysters, (boiled until 1 c Bread crumbs Edges curl), drained 1 c Grated Parmesan cheese 3 oz Clean oyster shells 8 tb Melted butter 1/2 Bienville sauce, cold Rock salt Contributed to the echo by: Bill Birner Originally from: Austin Leslie Here's a popular Creole recipe, not, of course, Cajun, from New Orleans.

In shaping small pastries, it is sometimes necessary to re-chill partially shaped dough until it is firm enough for the job to be completed. When you first make the pastry, be careful to follow all the rules. Don't make it in the summertime unless your kitchen is air conditioned. After you gain experience you may attempt short cuts such as rolling out and folding the dough twice in succession without re-chilling. Another way of shortening the process is by placing the dough in the freezer between rollings. Usually 10 minutes in the freezer is suffiecient. When you use this short cut, be careful not to freeze the dough solid. The shaped pastries can also be chilled in the freezer. They can even be baked frozen if extra baking time is allowed. Any unbaked yeast pastries, however, should never be kept frozen for more than a week or so; and it is preferable to bake anish pastry within a day or two after it has been shaped. Place 4 cups flour in large bowl. Reserve remaining flour for rolling. Make a well in center of bowl. If dry yeast is used, see directions on package. If fresh yeast is used, cream it with sugar and salt to make a syrup. Add egg yolks or whole eggs, grated orange rind, ground cardamom seeds, and vanilla. Pour yeast mixture into well. Add one cup milk and 1/4 cup butter cut into pieces. Mix with finger tips, adding more milk if necessary to make a medium-soft dough. Knead dough in bowl for 5 minutes, or until it is smooth but not elastic. Flour it and let rest in refrigerator for 30 minutes. While dough is resting, form remaining butter into a flattened brick. Using some of the reserved flour on wax paper or pastry cloth, roll out butter into a square about 1/3 inch thick. Use plenty of flour under and on top of butter to keep it from sticking. Loosen it frequently as you rol. Cut the square in 2 pieces. Place in refrigerator between sheets of wax paper. Roll out dough on well-floured cloth to make a rectangle 3 times longer than wide and about 1/3 inch thick. Brush excess flour from dough. Place a piece of butter in center. Fold one end of dough over butter. Place remaining butter on top. Fold second end over the butter. Press edges together. Turn dough, changing its position so that the short ends are parallel with the edge of table nearest you. Roll out on well-floured cloth, using a firm, even motion to spread butter together with dough. Try to work quickly, but check frequently underneat the dough to be sure it isn't sticking. Roll out a rectangele 3 times longer than wide, about 1/3 inch thick. rush excess flour from surface. Fold both ends of dough to meet in center. Press edges together, then fold in half as if closing a book, which will make 4 layers of dough. Flour dough. Place on a cooky sheet. Cover with aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour. Repeat rolling and folding dough 3 more times, chilling it 20 minutes between rollings. Be sure to change position of dough each time so that the short ends of dough are parallel with the edge of the table nearest you when you start rolling. After the final folding, chill dough at least 3 hours before shaping and baking.

"Day 1: 1. In a medium bowl, stir together 2 cups of the flour and yeast. Make a well in the middle of the flour/yeast mixture and whisk in the hot water. Continue stirring until the mixture is blended but not completely smooth. It is not necessary to smooth out all the lumps; they will dissolve as the mixture start to ferment. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the mixture sit at room temperature. Over the next 24 hours the mixture will rise, become very bubbly and then start to recede. "Days 2 and 3: 2. Stir the mixture twice, once in the morning and once in the evening to invigorate the yeast and to expel the alcohol. Towards the end of the second day the mixture will start to thin and the surface of the starter will be covered with lots of tiny air bubbles. By the evening of the third day a thin layer of yellow-brown liquid may form on the surface of the starter. It is simply the alcohol given off by the yeast cells as they feed on the carbohydrates in the flour and multiply. Refresh the starter by stirring in the cup of lukewarm water (100F) and the remaining cup of flour. Stir until blended, but do not worry about any small lumps. "Day 4: 3. The starter is now ready to use, or it may be poured into a sterilzed 2 quart glass or ceramic covered crock or casserole, or a flass jar with a non-metal lid and refrigerated. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Chocolate Raspberry Shortcakes Categories: Cakes Yield: 4 servings 1/2 c All-purpose flour 1 1/2 c Raspberries 2 tb Granulated sugar 2 tb Granulated sugar, or to 1/4 ts Double acting baking powder Taste 4 tb Heavy cream 1 tb Framboise, or to taste 1/8 ts Salt 1/3 c Well-chilled heavy cream 2 tb Cold unsalted butter Connfectioners sugar for Cut into bits Sprinkling 2 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder Mint sprigs for garnish if 1/4 ts Baking soda Desired From Gourmet/May 1991 For the shortcakes Make the shortcakes: In a bowl sift together the cocoa powder, the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt, add butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal.

Place the sugar and milk in a heavy saucepan and melt the sugar over low heat, then raise the heat and boil the mixture briskly. Take care that it does not boil over. As soon as the mixture begins to thicken, stir it so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan. After about 30 minutes it should be the consistency of thin condensed milk and has been reduced to 1 cup. See Note. Pierce holes through two of the "eyes" of the coconut and drain the water from it. Set the water aside. Put the whole coconut into the oven for about 8 minutes. Crack it open; the flesh should come away quite easily from the shell. Pare the brown skin from the coconut flesh with a potato peeler. Grate the coconut finely. You will need 2 1/4 cups, loosely packed, for the flan. Add the grated coconut to the reserved coconut water and boil it for about 5 minutes, stirring it constantly. Add the "condensed" milk and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Set the mixture aside to cool. Beat the egg yolks together until they are creamy and stir them well into the coconut mixture. Beat the egg whites until they are frothy, add the salt and continue beating until they are stiff. Fold them into the mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold. Cover the mold with a well-greased lid and place into a water bath. Cook the flan on the lowest shelf of the oven for about 1 1/2 hours, then test to see if it is done. When it is done, set it aside to cool. Makes 6 servings. NOTES: Of course, you can substitute1 cup of lightly thinned canned, sweetened condensed milk for the milk and sugar and substitute pre-grated but unsweetened coconut. Use milk instead of coconut water; the flavor will just not be quite as good. Do not think you have done something wrong when you see that the coconut and custard have separated. That is how it is meant to be. The caramel will nearly all have been absorbed by the spongy layer of coconut. If you are using fresh coconut there will almost certainly be some left over. It will keep perfectly well if frozen. To test to see if the flan is cooked through, insert the blade of a knife or a skewer well into the flan. The knife should come out clean. Take care not to pierce the flan at the bottom or it will spoil the appearance of the top when it is unmolded.

Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Pour into large mixing bowl; cool 5 minutes. Sift together flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and baking soda. Add egg and vanilla to butter mixture; mix well. Add flour mixture; beat til well mixed. Divide dough in half, cover and chill 2 hours or overnight. For each bear, shape dough into one 1-inch ball, one 3/4-inch ball, six 1/2-inch balls and one 1/4-inch ball. On ungreased cookie sheet flatten the 1-inch ball to 1/2" thickness for body. Attach the 3/4-inch ball for head and flatten to 1/2" thickness. Attach the 1/2-inch balls for arms, legs and ears. Attach the 1/4-inch ball for nose. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, cool and decorate. I usually make these smaller than described here; about 1/2 the size. Also, the ears start to look like MOUSE ears if they're not a little smaller than the arms and legs. Roll the nose ball to make it more oval in shape and place it on the LOWER half of the bear's face. These can be decorated with any icing-- I use tinted Royal icing made from meringue powder to add eyes, nose and bow tie to each bear. For Easter, make these into bunnies. Use only light corn syrup, no molasses. Substitute white sugar for the brown sugar. Omit spices and add a bit of almond extract if desired. Make them the same way, but make two long ears on the top and two cheek-balls instead of the nose-ball. Decorate with pastel icings.

It's entirely possible, although theirs would have been cooked much longer to drive off all the moisture, allowing them to keep for an entire ocean crossing. Though these biscotti are made with an enriched bread dough instead of the traditional cookie dough and have a somewhat softer texture, they keep well when stored in an airtight container." Make the sponge: In the bowl of an electric mixer proof the yeast in the water for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy. Whisk in the flour and let the sponge stand, covered with plastic wrap, for 30 minutes or until it is foamy. To the sponge, add the sugar, the water and the butter and stir the mixture until it is combined well. Add the flour, the aniseed, and the salt and with the electric mixer fitted with the dough hook knead the dough for 3 minutes, or until it is smooth but still sticky. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat it with the oil, and let it rise, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for 1 1/2 hours, or until it is double in bulk. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, halve it, and with floured hands form each piece of dough into a flattish log 15 inches long and 2 inches wide. Transfer the logs to a buttered and floured baking sheet and let them rise, covered with a kitchen towel, for 2 hours, or until they are double in bulk. Bake the logs in the middle of a preheated 350F oven for 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown, and let them cool on the baking sheet on a rack for 10 minutes. On a cutting board cut the logs crosswise on the diagonal into 1 inch thick slices, arrange the biscotti, cut sides down, on the baking sheet and bake them in the 350F oven for 10 minutes on each side, or until they are pale golden.

Beat the butter with the sugar by hand, with a hand mixer set at medium speed, or in a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the paddle. Continue beating until the mixture lightens both in texture and color, about 4 or 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla, then the yolks, one at a time, beating smooth after each addition. Stir the flour and cornmeal together, and stir into the butter mixture by hand. Line 2 or 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper and pipe the Krumiri in horseshoe or stick shapes, using a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tube (Ateco #4). Bake about 15 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on a rack. VARIATION OF KRUMIRI: SCHIACCATINE DI GRANTURCO. These wonderful biscotti are always on the bar at Tonino and Claudia Verro's charming inn, Contea, at Neive, near Alba in Piemonte. The surrounding area, known as the Langhe for its situation in the Langa hills, has some of Italy's most breathtaking natural scenery, as well as excellent wine and Grappa. FOLLOW THE RECIPE FOR KRUMIRI, but do not pipe the dough. Divide the dough in half and place each half on a piece of parchment or wax paper. Shape the dough into a rough log about 1-inch diameter and about 6 inches long. Roll and tighten the paper around the dough, to make it perfectly cylindrical.

THE BOOK OF HOT & SPICY FOODS has a collection of over 100 beautifully illustrated step-by-step recipes which include traditional favorites like Steak au Poivre, Mexican Chili con Carne, Indonesian Gado Gado and Creole Jambalaya, plus many Indian and Oriental dishes and lots of sizzling new surprises and variations on a theme. Whether it's a simple snack, a teatime treat or an elegant dinner party dish you're after, this book has a recipe for all occasions. Spices are invaluable for adding that special blend of heat or fragrance and pungency to all manner of savory and sweet dishes. Don't be daunted by those unfamiliar to you - try them, you'll never know what you've been missing, but bear in mind that some are stronger and fierier than others. If experimenting, it is wise to start with small amounts - you can always add more to taste at a later stage. And remember - the amount of spices in many of the following recipes are suggested as a guide, so feel free to increase or decrease the amounts according to personal preference. It is the chili (in its various forms) that adds heat to a dish. You will find instructions on how to prepare this fiery spice (without getting burnt!), plus many recipes using it. There is also plenty of information on all the other hot spices - muctard, pepper, cloves and ginger - plus, of course, the more fragrant, aeromatic ones like cardamom, cumin, nutmeg, etc. And no spice book would be complete without recipes for making Curry Powder, Garam Masala, Five Spice Powder, Mixed Spice, Pickling Spice and Harissa (a Middle Eastern favorite). The follwing recipes range from mild to hot or just wonderfully spicy. It is surely a collection to please not only hot and spicy food-lovers everywhere, but also tempting enough to persuade the "uninitiated" to sample the delights of spicy foods! ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Chilies Categories: _ ideas Yield: 1 servings No Ingredients Chilies belong to the capsicum family, as do sweet peppers, but there the relationship ends, for the fiery heat of the chili is in no way similar to its mild-flavored relation. Fresh chilies are now widely available and vary considerably in size, shape and heat factor. In principle, the fatter chilies tend to be more mild than the long, thin varieties, and the smaller the chili, the hotter its taste. Generally, the unripened, green chili is less fiery than when ripened and red. This is a useful guide to follow, but there are exceptions according to the variety, so it is wise to remember that all chilies, irrespective of color, shape and size, are hot, so use caution before adding them to a dish. Bear in mind that a little chili goes a long way, so add a small amount to begin with and gradually increase the quantity to your liking during cooking. Take care when preparing chilies - the tiny, cream-colored seeds inside are the hottest part and, in general, are removed before using. Chilies contain a pungent oil which can cause an unpleasant burning sensation to eyes and skin, so it's a wise precaution to wear rubber gloves when handling chilies and be sure not to touch your face and eyes during preparation. Cut off the stalk end, then split open the pod and scrape out seeds, using a pointed knife, and discard. Rinse pod thoroughly with cold running water and pat chili dry before chopping or slicing as required. Once this task is completed, always wash your hands, utensils and surfaces thoroughly with soapy water. Dried red chilies are sold whole and can vary in size from 1/2-3/4 to 1-1/2-2 inches in length, so this into account when using. If a recipe states small dried chilies, and you only have the larger ones, adapt and lessen the quantity accordingly, or to taste. Dried chilies are usually soaked in hot water for 1 hour before draining and removing seeds as described above), unless a recipe states otherwise. Dried red chilies, when ground, are used to make cayenne pepper and combined with other spices and seasonings, also make chili and curry powder, and chili seasoning. They are also used in the making of hot-pepper sauce and chili sauces. The Harissa spice mix uses a large quantity of dried chilies and is very hot, so be forewarned! This is a favorite spice mix for many Middle Eastern dishes. Don't be tempted to add more Harissa than recipe states, unless you are prepared for an extremely hot dish. A less fiery Harissa can be made simply by removing the seeds from soaked chilies before crushing chilies with other ingredients. Green chilies are available canned. These are often seeded and peeled and taste pleasantly hot and spicy - ideal for adding to pizza toppings, sauces and taco fillings. Both red and green chilies also come pickled in jars (hot or mild/sweet) and can be found in delicatessens and ethnic food shops. Canned and pickled varieties should be drained and patted dry before using. Whether you seed the pickled type is up to you, just remember the seeds are the hottest part! ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Mustard Categories: _ ideas Yield: 1 servings No Ingredients White or yellow, brown and black seeds come from the mustard plant, according to the species. Most commonly found is the creamy yellow type which is the least pungent. The brown type (or Indian mustard) is stronger in flavor, while the black mustard seed is the most powerful of all. The creamy yellow seeds are more widely available, but look for the black and brown types in Asian and Oriental food shops and delicatessens. Whole mustard seeds have a pleasant nutty bite to them and can be used to add piquancy to salad dressing and hot sauces. They are especially good when served with fish, chicken and pork and are also delicious added to cole slaw, creamy potato salad, pickles and chutneys. Use mustard seeds (especially the two hotter varieties) with discretion to begin with, increasing the amount as you become more familiar with the flavors. It is the yellow seed which, when processed with black seeds, wheat flour and turmeric, forms the basis of English mustard. Dry mustard can be used as it is in cooking, or it may be mixed to a paste with a little cord or warm water. (For a nice, rich mixture, why not try mixing it with a little cream or milk?) Once mixed it should be left at least 10 minutes to allow time for the flavors to develop. It is only when the powder is mixed with a liquid that the essential oils are released, giving mustard its pungency and sensation of heat. Remember that made mustard loses its pungency after a few hours. Jars of prepared mustard, once opened, need using within a few weeks as the flavor and color will deteriorate. The variety of ready-prepared mustards come in a bewildering number of mouthwatering flavors, according to the manufacturer. These can be made from milled mustard flour, or from coarsely crushed seed (the proportions of which vary tremendously, depending on the type). Some are mixed with vinegar, others with grape juice or wine (and sometimes beer), and often contain various spices, herbs and seasonings, such as honey and horseradish. German mustard, which is mild and sweet-flavored, is a mixture of brown and white mustard flour moistened with vinegar and flavored with various spices. The mild-flavored American mustard (popular with children) generally uses only yellow mustard seeds with the addition of sugar, vinegar and salt. Dijon-style mustard, nade from milled, husked black seeds, is flavored with wine and spices. The pungent and spicy grainy types of mustard are a mixture of whole, crushed black and yellow seeds with additional flavorings added for individuality. Mustards of all types can be used to great effect, not only as a condiment, but also as a culinary ingredient. They add bite and piquancy to all types of savory dishes from scrambled eggs, sauces and dressings to deviled mixtures, barbecued food, soups, casseroles, pastry, scones and cheesy biscuits. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: A to Z of Spices (Part 1) Categories: _ ideas Yield: 1 servings No Ingredients ALLSPICE: These small dark, reddish-brown berries are so called because their aroma and flavor resemble a combination of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Use berries whole in marinades; for boiling and pot roasting meats and poultry; in fish dishes, pickles and chutneys. Also available ground and excellent for flavoring soups, sauces and desserts. ANISE: Commonly called asniseed, these small, brown oval seeds have the sweet, pungent flavor of licorice. Also available ground. Use seeds in stews and vegetable dishes, or sprinkle over loaves and rolls before baking. Try ground anise for flavoring fish dishes and pastries for fruit pies. CARAWAY: Small brown, crescent-shaped seeds with a strong liquorice flavor and especially delicious as a flavoring in braised cabbage and sauerkraut recipes, breads (particularly rye), cakes and cheeses. CARDAMOM: Small, triangular-shaped pods containing numerous small black seeds which have a warm, highly aeromatic flavor. You can buy green or black cardamoms although the smaller green type is more widely available. CAYENNE: Orangey-red in color, this ground pepper is extremely hot and pungent. Not to be confused with paprika which, although related, is mild flavored. CHILI POWDER: Made from dried red chilies. This red powder varies in flavor and hotness, from mild to hot. A less fiery type is found in chili seasoning. CINNAMON & CASSIA: Shavings of bark from the cinnamon tree are processed and curled to form cinnamon sticks. Also available in ground form. Spicy, fragrant and sweet, it is used widely in savory and sweet dishes. Cassia (from the dried bark of the cassia tree) is similar to cinnamon, but less delicate in flavor with a slight pungent 'bite'. CLOVES: These dried, unopened flower buds give a warm aroma and pungency to foods, but should be used with care as the flavor can become overpowering. Available in ground form. Cloves are added to soups, sauces, mulled drinks, stewed fruits and apple pies. CORIANDER: Available in seed and ground form. These tiny, pale brown seeds have a mild, spicy flavor with a slight orange peel fragrance. An essential spice in curry dishes, but also extremely good in many cake and cookie recipes. CUMIN: Sold in seed or ground. Cumin has a warm, pungent aromatic flavor and is used extensively in flavor curries and many Middle Eastern and Mexican dishes. Popular in Germany for flavoring sauerkraut and pork dishes. Use ground or whole in meat dishes and stuffed vegetables. All spices should be stored in small airtight jars in a cool, dark place, as heat, moisture and sunlight reduce their flavor. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: A to Z of Spices (Part 2) Categories: _ ideas Yield: 1 servings No Ingredients FENUGREEK: These small, yellow-brown seeds have a slight bitter flavor which, when added in small quantities, is very good in curries, chutneys and pickles, soups, fish and shellfish dishes. GINGER: Available in many forms. Invaluable for adding to many savory and sweet dishes and for baking gingerbread and brandy snaps. Fresh ginger root looks like a knobby stem. It should be peeled and finely chopped or sliced before use. Dreid ginger root is very hard and light beige in color. To release flavor, "bruise" with a spoon or soak in hot water before using. This dried type is more often used in pickling, jam making and preserving. Also available in ground form, preserved stem ginger and crystallized ginger. MACE & NUTMEG: Both are found on the same plant. The nutmeg is the inner kernel of the fruit. When ripe, the fruit splits open to reveal bright red arils which lie around the shell of the nutmeg - and once dried are known as mace blades. The flavor of both spices is very similar - warm, sweet and aromatic, although nutmeg is more delicate than mace. Both spices are also sold ground. Use with vegetables; sprinkled over egg dishes, milk puddings and custards; eggnogs and mulled drinks; or use as a flavoring in desserts. PAPRIKA: Comes from a variety of pepper (capsicum) and although similar in color to cayenne, this bright red powder has a mild flavor. PEPPER: White pepper comes from ripened berries with the outer husks removed. Black pepper comes from unripened berries dried until dark greenish-black in color. Black pepper is more subtle than white. Use white or black peppercorns in marinades and pickling, or freshly ground as a seasoning. Both are available ground. Green peppercorns are also unripe berries with a mild, light flavor. They are canned in brine or pickled, or freeze-dried in jars. They add a pleasant, light peppery flavor to sauces, pates and salad dressings. Drain those packed in liquid and use either whole or mash them lightly before using. Dry green peppercorns should be lightly crushed before using to help release flavor, unless otherwise stated in a recipe. POPPY SEEDS: These tiny, slate-blue seeds add a nutty flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. Sprinkle over desserts and breads. SAFFRON: This pice comes from the stigmas of a species of crocus. It has a distinctive flavor and gives a rich yellow coloring to dishes, however, it is also the most expensive spice to buy. Available in small packets or jars (either powdered or in strands - the strands being far superior in flavor). This spice is a must for an authentic paella or Cornish Saffron Cake. Also an extremely good flavoring for soups, fish and chicken dishes. SESAME SEEDS: High in protein and mineral oil content, sesame seeds have a crisp texture and sweet, nutty flavor which combines well in curries and with chicken, pork and fish dishes. Use also to sprinkle over breads, cookies and pastries before baking. STAR ANISE: This dried, star-shaped seed head has a pungent, aromatic smell, rather similar to fennel. Use very sparingly in stir-fry dishes. Also good with fish and poultry. TURMERIC: Closely related to ginger, it is an aromatic root which is dried and ground to produce a bright, orange-yellow powder. It has a rich, warm, distinctive smell, a delicate, aromatic flavor and helps give dishes an attractive yellow coloring. Use in curries, fish and shellfish dishes, rice pilafs and lentil mixtures. It is also a necessary ingredient in mustard pickles and piccalilli. All spices should be stored in small airtight jars in a cool, dark place, as heat, moisture and sunlight reduce their flavor. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Five Spice Powder Categories: Spices Yield: 1 servings 5 ts Ground anise (aniseed) -cassia bark 5 ts Star anise 2 tb Whole cloves 1 Cinnamon stick (5") in 7 ts Fennel seeds Using a blender, process all ingredients until finely ground.

To form the cookies, scoop out a portion of dough and roll out on a well-floured surface. When dough is 1/4 inch thick, cut it into rounds or other desired shapes. Re-roll scraps and cut again. 7. Place on cookie sheet (leave room for expansion) and bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Watch for any hot spots in the oven and don't let these cookies overbrown. VARIATION: For the Brownie Cookie Crust, make 1 recipe of Brownie Cookies and chill the dough briefly. Lightly grease the back side of a large baking sheet. Roll the dough out onto the baking sheet as thinly as possible so that the baked product will crumble easily. Bake crust at 375 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes. Let crust harden, then slide the cookie from the sheet and cool completely. Roll over the cookie with a rolling pin until it is crushed to a fine crumb. (There should be about 2 1/4 cups of crumbs.) Melt 1 stick plus 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Mix it into the crumbs and pack the mixture over the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Freeze for 30 minutes before filling in order to set the crust. Note: When I made this, I made individual cookie crumb crusts for the "Kit's Chocolate Mousse" recipe by using a large muffin pan. Line each cup with waxed paper for easy removal. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: CAMPERS PIZZA PIE Categories: Italian, Pizza Yield: 4 servings 8 ea . pizza or spaghetti 1 ea Wheat bread 1/4 ea Mozzarella cheese 1 x Pepperoni Using the pie iron,take two slices of bread,put 1 1/2 tablespoons pizza sauce on one slice of bread.Top with Mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperoni.Place other side of bread on top and butter outer sides of bread.Put sandwich into pie iron and place in coals of fire.Cook until bread is toasted. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Cheeseburger Pie Categories: Main dish, Cheese/eggs, Meats Yield: 6 servings 1 x -----------crust------------ 1 c Bisquick baking mix 1/4 c Milk or light cream 1 x --------meat filling-------- 1 lb Lean ground beef 1/2 c Onion; chopped, 1 md 1/2 t Salt 1/4 t Pepper 2 t Bisquick baking mix 1 t Worcestershire sauce 1 x ----------topping----------- 2 ea Tomatoes; sliced, md 2 ea Eggs; lg 1 c Cheddar cheese; shredded,4oz Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Courtesy of Shareware RECIPE CLIPPER 1.1 ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Andouille-Tasso Dressing Categories: Dressings Yield: 1 servings 1/2 lb Andouille; finely chopped 1/2 c Tasso; finely chopped 4 c Chicken stock 1 pk Cornbread; about 9-inch pan 4 T Margarine 1 c Onions; finely chopped 1/2 c Green onions; finely choppe 1/2 c Celery; finely chopped 1/2 c Mushrooms; fresh, sliced 1/4 c Parsley; finely chopped 1/4 c Bell pepper; finely chopped 2 t Garlic; finely chopped 2 t Salt 1 t Black pepper Start off by baking your cornbread to package directions (be sure you choose an unsweetened cornbread mix) and letting it cool to room temperature. Then, to a 2-1/2-quart saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil, toss in the finely chopped andouille and tasso, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 1 hour until the meats are soft and tender. Meanwhile, take a 12-inch skillet and melt the margarine over medium heat. Then quickly saute the onions, green onions, celery, mushrooms, bell pepper, parsley and garlic until all of them are just wilted -- DO NOT OVERCOOK! Next, take a mixing bowl and crumble the cornbread. Then stir in the sauteed vegetable mixture and all of the meats and blend everything thoroughly. At this point, begin adding the meat stock you made - a little at a time -- to moisten the dressing. Remember... you want the stuffing "just moist" -- not wet! And you want to taste the stuffing before adding any salt and pepper. There may already be enough in the tasso and andouille to suit you. Use with Stuffed Veal Pocket. NOTE: The best way to enhance the flavor of a traditional New Orleans veal pocket is to stuff it with a cornbread dressing spiced up with andouille and tasso.

In a seperate bowl, beat egg whites, gradually adding sugar until whites are stiff. Whip cream. Gently fold whipped cream into cooled chocolate mixture and then fold in egg whites. FOR THE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350. Beat ingredients together at medium speed of electric mixer until batter is smooth. Grease an 11-by-15 inch jellyroll pan. Line it with waxed paper. Grease and lightly flower paper, shaking off any excess flower. Spread batter evenly in jellyroll pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cake tests done. Turn cake onto a rack and peel off paper. Lightly oil a 2-quart charlotte mold and line with cooled cake. Cut rounds of cake to fit both top and bottom of mold, and a strip for sides. Place smaller round in bottom of mold. (you will probably have to piece one section of side to cover completely, but don't worry; any patchwork will be hidden by chocolate glaze.) Fit larger round of cake on top of mold. Chill for 3 or 4 hours or until firm. Unmold and cover with glaze. FOR THE GLAZE: Melt chocolate in water and stir until smooth. Spread over top of mousse-cake and drizzle down sides. Chill again. Serve in slender slices -- its indecently opulent. Hints: Melt chocolate in microwave. Its much faster. Instructions are on the chocolate package. A souffle dish makes a good replacement for the Charlotte mold.

Line 8x2" round cake pan with parchment or waxed paper. Melt the chocolate and butter in a small bowl placed in a barely simmering water bath over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Or, microwave on medium (50%) for about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Whisk in egg yolks and flour. Set aside. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar in a clean, dry mixing bowl at medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in 1 Tbsp sugar, beating at high speed, until stiff but not dry. Fold about 1/4 of egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Quickly fold in remaining whites. Turn mixture into prepared pan. Bake for exactly 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan. Cake will rise somewhat, especially around edges, but will still seem undercooked. As it cools, it will sink in the center. This is correct! Let the dessert cool completely in the pan on a rack. Cover and chill for several hours in the refrigerator. Run a knife or small spatula around the edge to release it from pan. Warm the bottom of the pan on a stove burner on low heat for just a few seconds; invert it onto a plate to unmold. Peel the parchment liner from bottom and invert again onto serving plate or corrugated cake circle (if you plan to frost it with whipped cream). The cake circle will be 1/2" bigger than the dessert all around. The dessert will be right side up and higher around the edges than in the middle. It may be made to this point up to 4 days in advance. Wrap well and refrigerate until needed, or freeze for up to 3 months. To Serve Simply: Remove from refrigerator at least one hour in advance. Cut in wedges and pass lightly sweetened whipped cream and sauces separately. To Serve More Formally: Whip cream with remaining 3 Tbsp sugar and mask cake thickly with about 3/4 of it. (Instructions in back of book say to use a turntable. Cover cake with whipped cream, smooth top, then hold spatula at an angle to sides and rotate turntable to smooth.) Scrape the remaining whipped cream into pastry bag and pipe large rosettes or swirls around the top edge of the cake.

THE ANDERSONS' FOOD GARDEN ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Vegetable Soup Categories: Soups, Vegetables Yield: 8 servings 8 c Chicken broth (see recipe) 1 Potato, peeled, chopped 1/3 c Olive oil 2 Zucchini, finely chopped 1/4 c Chopped parsley 1 Large tomato, chopped 4 Garlic cloves 1/4 lb Mushrooms, finely chopped 1/4 lb Pancetta or unsmoked bacon 1/4 lb String beans finely chopped 3 c Shredded cabbage 4 Pieces prosciutto rind 1 Medium onion, finely chopped Salt, to taste 2 Carrots, finely chopped Pepper, to taste 1 Celery stalk, finely chopped 1/2 c Grated Parmesan cheese There are as many versions of vegetable soup in Italy as there there are cooks. Pancetta - Pancetta is the same cut of pork as bacon. It is cured with salt and is not smoked. It comes rolled up like a large salami. Widely used in Italian cooking, especially in Emilia-Romagna, it is vital to many dishes. If available, buy a large quantity. Cut into several pieces and freeze it. You can substitute domestic bacon for pancetta. It must be blanched in boiling water for two three minutes to reduce the smoky flavour. Fresh side pork can also be used. I'll be posting several recipes over the next while that call for pancetta, so if you can find some, it won't go to waste. Prepare chicken broth (see my previously posted recipe). Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add parsley and garlic. Saute over medium heat. Before garlic changes colour, add pancetta. Saute until lightly browned. Stir in cabbage. Cover and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining vegetables to saucepan. Cover and cook about 5 minutes. Add broth and water, if using, and prosciutto rind or ham shank. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer 40 to 50 minutes. Remove half the vegetables with a slotted spoon. Place in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Return to saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with Parmesan cheese sprinkled over top. Makes 8 to 10 servings. VARIATION: Toast about 20 thick slices of Italian bread. Place 2 slices in each soup bowl and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese. Ladle soup into bowls. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Pink Tartar Sauce Categories: Low-cal, Sauces Yield: 8 servings 1/2 c Mayonanaise 1 ts Dijon-style mustard, grainy 1 tb Hamburger relish 1 ts Lemon juice * Hamburger relish gives this creamy, flavorful sauce its pretty pink color ~-------------------------------------------------------------------------- PER SERVING: 1 T = 101 cal., 0g Pro., 11g Fat, 1g Carbo., 117mg Sodium In small serving bowl, combine all ingredients.

If it is too soft, add more cornmeal. Drop by molded Tablespoon into 350"F fat and cook about 1 1/2 minutes; turn and cook on second side 1 minute. Allow oil to heat a few seconds after removing a batch. Delicious freshly cooked and hot; however, leftover hush puppies freeze well. When ready to serve frozen hush puppies, place on oven rack in preheated 250"F until very hot and crisp. Makes about 48 hush puppies 2" round. Hints on frying: Using a small diameter heavy saucepan allows using a minimum oil; a 5 or 6 inch pan with oil 1 1/2 inches deep and heated to 350"F will cook three hush puppies in about 2 1/2 minutes. When batter consistency is correct and oil is at 350"F, hush puppies will become firm, round shapes almost as soon as they enter the hot oil. If they are cooked in oil that is too hot, they will not cook in the center. Serving suggestions: Especially good served with fried catfish, trout, shrimp, oysters, chicken or chicken-fried steak.

Soften the yeast in the warm water and let stand for 5 minutes or until it "blooms" or proofs. Put a half cup of sugar, the salt, butter, orange juice and rum extract in a large bowl. Pour the scalded milk over the ingredients in the bowl. Stir until the butter is melted. Cool to lukewarm. When cool, blend in 1 cup of the unbleached flour and beat until smooth. Stir in the yeast and add about half of the remaining flour, beating until smooth. Beat in the eggs. Then beat in enough of the remaining flour to make a SOFT (should be slightly sticky and light in weight). Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 to 10 minutes). Form into a ball and put into a greased bowl, turning to grease the top of the ball of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm draft free place until doubled in bulk. Punch the dough down, kneading lightly to remove all of the air pockets, and turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough into rounds using a 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter. Cover with waxed paper and let rise on the rolling surface away from drafts and direct heat, until double in bulk, (30 to 45 minutes). About 20 minutes before frying, heat the fat. Fry the doughnuts in the heated fat. Put only as many doughnuts at one time as will float uncrowded in a single layer deep in the fat. Fry 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned; turn the doughnuts with a fork or tongs, being careful not to pierce the doughnut, when they rise to the surface. Do this several times during the cooking. Lift from the fat, draining for a few seconds over the fat before removing to absorbent paper toweling. Cool. Cut a slit through the center in the side of each doughnut. Force about 1/2 ts of jam or jelly into the center and press lightly to close the slit. (A pastry bag and tube may be used to force the jelly or jam into the slit.) Shake 2 or 3 bismarks at one time in a bag containing granulated or powdered sugar. (Your choice.) Shake lightly to remove the excess sugar. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Micro-wave Peanut Brittle Categories: Candies Yield: 12 servings 1 c Raw peanuts 1 ts Butter 1 c Sugar 1 ts Vanilla 1/2 c White corn syrup 1 ts Baking soda 1/8 ts Salt Stir together peanuts, sugar, syrup, salt.

LET IT SIMMER UNTIL YOU NEED THE THERMOMETER. STEP 1: Prewarm the thermometer; separate the eggs allowing the whites to come to room temperature in a large bowl of an electric mixer. (Return the egg yolks to the refrigerator covering with plastic wrap or water for another recipe.) Fill a glass with ice cubes and water. To make dropped divinities, you will need 2 cookie sheets, topped with greased wax paper. For squares, use a greased and wax paper-lined 8 X 8-inch pan. Measure the sugar, corn syrup, ice water and salt and dump into a heavy 2-quart saucepan with a tight fitting lid. STEP 2: Dissolve the sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon over low heat. Syrup will become clear, gritty sounds will cease, and the spoon will glide smoothly over the bottom of the pan. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil. STEP 3: (OPTIONAL): Cover pan with a square of wax paper and lid, pushing down firmly. Steam for 2 to 3 minutes to dissolve the sugar crystals. (Listen to make sure the pot doesn't boil over. To double-check, remove lid, leaving the wax paper in place.) STEP 4: Wash down any crystals clinging to the sides with a brush dipped in hot water from the thermometer bath. Introduce the prewarmed thermometer. No need to stir. STEP 5: Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. If your mixer is a heavy duty one, you can wait until the bubbles in the syrup become very large and airy before beating the egg whites. Otherwise, do it now when the thermometer registers 240 Degrees F. (115.5 C.). STEP 6: Test the syrup when the thermometer registers 246 degrees F. (119 C.). Continue testing until it reach the firm-ball stage, 246 to 260 degrees F. (119 to 126.5 C.). Syrup will be hard to scrape up in ice water. It will have to be forced into a ball, but once formed, it should hold its shape but give under pressure. Return the thermometer to the hot water bath to soak clean. STEP 7: Dribble the syrup into the egg whites in a slow, steady stream, beating at slow speed. Tilt the syrup pan to get the last drop but do not scrape the pan. Once the syrup is completely incorporated, change to a flat whip if you have one. STEP 8: Have patience and continue beating. The amount of time you spend mixing depends on the power of your mixer. If you have a heavy duty or commercial one, you can go to full speed and make the divinity in less than 5 minutes. With less powerful ones, it can take up to 20 minutes. The important thing is to beat at the highest speed of your mixer. Also if it is a hot and humid day, it will take longer also. STEP 9: Test the divinity. The first and most important test occurs when you lift the beaters. If the candy falls back in ribbons that immediately merge back into the batter, it isn't done. Eventually, a stationary column will form between the beaters and the bowl. Candy will lose its sheen/gloss and stop being sticky; a teaspoonful dropped onto wax paper will hold its shape, even a peak. If you machine is laboring and the candy is not quite there yet, you have two choices: Pour anyway and put into a frost free freezer to set up....or finish by hand. STEP 10: Fold in the flavorings and nuts and/or other optional items using the mixer or if very thick, a wooden spoon. STEP 11: Drop or spread the divinity either on wax paper-covered cookie sheets or the buttered pan. Dripping it by teaspoon is harder work for you but it ripens quicker and is ready to eat sooner. A neat trick is to put the candy into a pastry bag and pipe onto the wax paper. If you spread it in the pan, you will have to wait up to 24 hours before it is ready. But you maybe one of those that think it is better when it is 24 hours old. Score and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in a refrigerator. Makes 1 pound but looks like more.

The original recipe called for 4 Tbls of Molasses, STEP 1: PREPARE: Prewarm the thermometer in hot water; use a 2-quart saucepan; butter the upper sides (inside) of the saucepan; measure all ingredients except the vanilla and optionals, and dump into the saucepan. Grease and if necessary, line a 5 X 10-inch pan. Fill glass with ice cubes and water and the sink with 1/2 inch of cold water. STEP 2: Dissolve the sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, over low heat until the butter melts, the gritty sounds cease, and the spoon glides smoothly over the bottom of the pan. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil. STEP 3: Boil, after washing down any crystals that may have formed, with a pastry brush dipped in hot water from the thermometer bath, using as little water as possible. Introduce the prewarmed thermometer. Reduce the heat while keeping the fudge at a boil. Stir no more than necessary. STEP 4: Test the fudge mixture in the ice-cold water when the mixture thickens and bubbles become noisy. Ball, formed in ice water, should hold its shape until the heat from your had begins to flatten it and should be al dente ~- slightly chewy -- between 230 and 240 (110 and 115.5 degrees C.). Because of the molasses and brown sugar, it can ball at a lower temperature than some other fudges. STEP 5: Shock by placing the saucepan in the cold water in the sink. STEP 6: Seed by adding, without stirring, the vanilla. Then allow to cool. STEP 7: Stir when luke warm and "skin" forms on the top (110 degrees F.(43.5 degrees C.)). Return the thermometer to its hot water bath to soak clean. Stir the fudge thoroughly but not vigorously by hand, with an electric mixer, or with a food processor. Pause frequently to allow the fudge to react. STEP 8: Watch for the fudge to thicken, lose its sheen, and become lighter in color or streaked with lighter shade, give off some heat, suddenly stiffen. If mixing by had, the fudge will "snap" with each stroke; by mixer, mixer waves will become very distinct, by food processor, fudge will flow sluggishly back to the center when the processor is stopped. STEP 9: Add the optionals (1/2 Cup Chopped Nuts (walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts (filberts)) before the fudge totally candies. STEP 10: Pour, score, and store when cool in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature. YIELD: 1 pound of fudge. Recipe is easily doubled and can be frozen. VARIATIONS: HONEY BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eleminate the unsweetened chocolate and replace the molasses with 1/4 cup of honey. The honey causes the fudge to ball at a higher temperature. CHOCOLATE HONEY BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, replace the heavy cream with light cream or evaporated milk and replace the molasses with 1/4 cup of honey. ORANGE BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eleminate molasses, chocolate but add 1 Tbl corn syrup. In Step 6, add 1 Tbl grated orange zest, plus if you can get it, 1 tsp of pure orange extract. PEANUT BUTTER BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eliminate the molasses and chocolate, replace the heavy cream with 1/4 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter. To intensify the peanut butter flavor, add 1/3 of a cup of salted peanuts in Step 9. PRALINE BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eliminating the molasses is optional -- you'ss get a more Southern praline with it, a milder one without it--or compromise and use only 1 Tbls. Eliminate the chocolate. In Step 3, when the mixture begins to thicken, add 1 1/2 cups of pecan halves slowly so as not to break the boil or cool the mixture too quickly. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Honey-spice Apple Categories: Fruits, Desserts Yield: 2 servings 2 Cooking Apples; Med. 1/4 ts Cinnamon; Ground 2 tb Raisins 2 ts Regular Margarine Or Butter 2 tb Honey Core the apples and pare a 1-inch strip of skin from around the middle of each to prevent splitting.

This soup is very good reheated.. The most authentic version of Quebec's soupe aux pois use whole yellow peas, with salt pork and herbs for flavour. After cooking, the pork is usually chopped and returned to the soup, or sometimes removed to slice thinly and served sepaprately. Instead of fresh or dried herbs, herbes salees (herbs preserved with salt) are often used; they are available commercially or made at home. Pea soup remains a popular dish in resturants where tourists enjoy a true taste of old Quebec. In some variations, a little garlic, leeks, other vegetables or a ham bone are added for flavour. For a thicker consaistency (though this is not traditional) a cup or two of cooked peas can be pureed then returned to the soup." Wash and sort peas; soak in cold water ovvernight. Drain and place in a large pot; add water, parsley, salt pork, onion, celery, carrots, parsley, bay leaf, savory and 1 tsp salt.

Variations in flours and the addtional of dried or fresh fruit make this bread the simple choice of Canadian campers even today. Oven baking has become an acceptable alternative to the cast iron frypan. McKelvie's resturant in Halifax serves an oatmeal version similatr to this one. For plain bannock, omit rolled oats and increase the all purose floue to 1 cup.... One of the earliest quick breads, bannock was as simple as flour, salt, a bit of fat (often bacon grease) and water. In gold rush days, dough was mixed right in the prospector's flour bag and cooked in a frypan over an open fire. Indians wrapped a similar dough around sticks driven into the ground beside their camp fire, baking it along with freshly caught fish. Today's native _Fried Bread_ is like bannock and cooked in a skillet. Newfoundlander's _Damper Dogs_ are small rounds of dough cooked on the stove's dampers while _Toutons_ are similar bits of dough deep fried. At a promotional luncheon for the 1992 Inuit Circumpolar Conference, Eskimo Doughnuts, deep fried rings of bannock dough, were served. It is said that Inuit children prefer these "doughnuts" to sweet cookies. Red River settlers from Scotland made a frugal bannock with lots of flour, little sugar and drippings or lard. Now this same bread plays a prominent part in Winnipeg's own Folklorama Festival. At Expo '86 in Vanocuver, buffalo on bannock buns was a popular item at the North West Territories ' restaurant. In many regions of Canada, whole wheat flour or wheat germ replaces part of the flour and cranberries or blueberries are sometimes added. A Saskatchewan firm markets a bannock mix, and recipe books from coast to coast upgrade bannock with butter, oatmeal, raisins, cornmeal and dried fruit." Stir together flours, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add melted butter, raisins (if using) and water, adding more water if needed to make sticky dough. With floured hands, pat into greased pie plate. Bake in 400F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned and tester comes out clean. Cut into wedges.

Processing the oats in a food procesor for a few seconds should help. "If desired process the oats in a food processor for 10 seconds to get a finer texture...The original recipe for oatcakes likely arrived with Scottish settlers in Nova Scotia. Fine oatmeal ground in the pioneer's gristmills, a little fat worked with fingertips, and perhaps a touch of sugar, made a crispy baked "cake" to eat with cheese or jam. Over the years, Cape Bretoners (and eventually all cooks across Canada) used rolled oats and more sugar to make a coolie-like oatcake. The Glenghorm Resort in Ingonish, Nova Scotia, prints a recipe for these regional favorites on its postcards. Trilibys, a British version, richer and filled with a coked date mixture, lead to the Date Sandwich Cookies so popular in Canada over the years." Sweet version: Stir together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt; rub in shoetening with fingertips. Mix in water with fork, until ball forms; divide in half. On a floured surface, roll out each half to 1/4 inch (5 mm) thickness. Cut into 2 1/2 inch (6 squares), then into triangles.

Some claim that the recipe was a favorite of the Queen Mother and given to worthy groups as a fund raiser during World War II. One from Quebec's Eastern Townships includes the footnote that says that, "This is not to be passed on but must be sold for charitable purposes for 15 cents. In a reply to our query about the name of this recipe, the Queen Mother's Lady-in-Waiting writes; "I fear I have to tell you that, although we have known about this recipe for many years, it did not originate from either Buckingham Palace or Clarence House...However as Her Majesty always made it a rule, due to the number of requests receieved, never to give "favorite recipes", I fear that I have to tell you that you that should you wish to include this recipe in any cookbook, it should only be called a 'date and walnut cake' with no reference to the Queen Mother." Pour water over dates and soda; let stand until lukewarm. In bowl, cream butter with sugar; beat in egg and vanilla. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with date mixture. Spread in a greased and floured 9 inch square cake pan.

These recipes appeared under the name Nanaimo Bars in the Vancouver Sun in the early 50's and in the B.C. Women's Institute Centennial of B.C. Cookbook in 1958. The test kitchens of food companies developed various versions with their own products. Since the 50s, endless variations include Minted, Grand Marnier, Cherry, Pina Colada, Mocha, and Peanut Butter Nanaimo Bars...During the 50s, a Dairy Food Service Bureau recipe called Dominoes suggested piping a little bit of the middle layer into dots on top to give a domino pattern when cut."

After brining in the flavored brine, fish should washed off and dried before smoking. Smoked fish will keep for a solid year, at least if they are frozen in airtight plastic bags from which the air has been exhaled. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: TROUT SAUTEED IN BUTTER Categories: Seafood Yield: 4 servings Salt and pepper 6 tb Unsalted butter 4 Fresh trout, dressed Parsley sprigs A few Tbsp. flour Lemon wedges As every angler knows, skillet-size brook, brown, and rainbow trout are never more tasty than when prepared this way. Can there be any tastier dish than the one that comes from this happy marriage of fresh trout and butter? But for best results, a few words of warning: a basic rule of fish cookery is that fish, unless deep fried, should be cooked slowly. Yet, at the same time, one wants the flesh moist but with the outside golden brown. Furthermore one wants to be able to serve trout whole, not in broken chunks, the result of sticking. One other word: since trout are delicately flavored, I do not "flour" trout with cornmeal but with flour. However, either way, the trout will be delicious. Salt, pepper and coat the trout by rolling them in the flour. Melt the butter in a big iron skillet. When the butter is hot (over medium heat) but has not yet shown color, lay in the trout and turn the fire low. A steady, low heat will do two things: cook the trout slowly and at the same time brown the trout. You must police the process continuously, and it will take 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the trout. Just as soon as the flour coating has set on the down side, loosen each trout from the skillet, shaking the skillet gently to keep the slow browning trout free. After 10 minutes of slow browning, turn each trout carefully and repeat the above process. When you serve the trout, pour a bit of the butter over each and garnish with a sprig of parsley and a wedge of lemon. SAUTEED QUICK MEUNIERE ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ If you wish, add a couple of pats of butter to the skillet after the trout has been served, melt them, squeeze in a tablespoon of lemon juice, turn up the heat, and stir. Then pour this lemon-butter sauce over each trout. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: TRUITE AU BLEU (BLUE TROUT) Categories: Seafood Yield: 4 servings 2 tb Butter 1/2 ts Thyme 1 Shallot of scallion, minced 2 tb Minced fresh parsley 1 Rib celery w/leaves/chopped 1 Bay leaf 1 Carrot, thinly sliced 3 c Water 1 Dressed trout, head and all 1 c White wine or dry vermouth But cut into chunks 3 tb Tarragon vinegar 1 tb Salt 5 Whole 10" trout 6 Peppercorns This dish is basically trout poached in a vegetable court bouillon flavored with a cut-up trout. It is a lovely way to offer the delicacy of trout, and can be either a fish course, if the trout are 6-8 inchers, or a main course if the trout are 10-11 inchers. As a fish course for a game dinner serve the trout cold ( in an aspic if you wish-see below). In a big saucepan or deep skillet with lid melt the butter and saute' the vegetables until the shallot is just soft. Add the single cut-up trout and the remaining ingredients (except whole trout), bring to a bubble, and simmer for ten minutes or so. Add the dressed whole trout, cover, and simmer slowly for about 20-minutes. If the dish is a main course, remove the fish, drain, and serve immediately with melted butter and lemon juice or herb butter. If the dish is just a fish course, allow the fish to cool in the liquor and serve the drained trout with a slice of lemon. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: TROUT SERVED COLD IN ASPIC Categories: Seafood Yield: 4 servings 1 Poached trout Parsley 1 c Tomato sauce Lemon slices 4 ts Gelatin If you'd like to serve the trout as a fish course in aspic, let the trout cool in the liquor, then remove and drain the trout. Strain the liquor the trout were simmered in, add to it the tomato sauce, and over fire stir in the gelatin. Stir over low heat just until the gelatin melts.

In a skillet large enough to hold the fillets melt about 3 tablespoons butter and, when almost sizzling, add trout. Saute on one side for about 3-minutes, turn, cover for a minute, and then saute the other side. A total of 6-7 minutes should do it. Salt and pepper the fish and remove to a warm place, add nuts for a moment to the pan to toast, then toss over the trout fillets. Meanwhile, in a separate small, sturdy pan, heat enough oil so that a small strainer can be lowered into it. Let capers drain in the strainer. Returning to the trout pan, splash in tablespoon or two of wine, then add stock and cream and boil down rapidly, stirring in just a taste of the tomato paste and a little more butter. When reduced and slightly thickened, spoon this little bit of pan sauce over the fillets. Now quickly lower the capers into the almost smoking oil. Let them sputter and sizzle a few seconds, then remove the strainer and shake free of oil. Distribute fried capers in neat piles at either end of the fillets and serve immediately. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: SPRING TROUT AND FIDDLEHEAD Categories: Seafood Yield: 4 servings 4 10" freshly caught trout 4 qt Boiling water 1/4 c Salad oil Salt and pepper 1/4 c White flour Butter Fiddlehead ferns Dash of garlic powder 1/4 c Cornmeal Clean the fish well in cold water.

The fillets from small salmon, walleye, lake trout, and channel cat are all superb prepared in this fashion. If the two sauces seem too time-consuming just note that this dish is excellent if only the wine sauce is used. Put the fish head, etc., peppercorns, and shallots into the water and wine, bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 30 minutes. Strain and set aside. Arrange the fillets in a shallow glass or earthenware fireproof dish that has been liberally buttered. Add the bouquet garni. Pour in the reserved fish stock and poach in a 325 degree oven for 20 minutes. Saute the sliced mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of butter for 5 minutes, coating and stirring a couple of times. Reserve. Prepare the hollandaise and hold it by covering with a lid. Make the wine sauce by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in pan, then stir in the flour and cook a few minutes. Turn off heat, pour in the liquor from the poached fillets, then stir and thicken over the fire. Add the milk, then stir until it bubbles. Season to taste. To assemble: lay the fillets on a fireproof dish and cover with the wine sauce. Now dot the top with mushrooms. Ladle the hollandaise sauce over all and glaze under the broiler. Garnish with cucumber and lemon slices or with watercress. HOLLANDAISE SAUCE In a very heavy pot set over a flame tamer, whisk the eggs until they are well blended, turn lemon-colored, and start to thicken. Be sure heat is low. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice when thickening starts. Start adding butter one piece at a time, whisking each piece until is absorbed with the eggs. Continue until all the butter is used up. It should take about 2 minutes, at which point the sauce will be thick. If at any point you sense that the is about to separate, quickly add a teaspoon of cold milk or cream. Now whisk in about 1 more teaspoon of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and optional cayenne. Taste to see that the sauce is lemony enough for your taste. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: TROUT STUFFED JAPANESE STYLE Categories: Seafood Yield: 4 servings 1/4 lb Mushrooms, sliced Skin, head and tail 2 tb Vegetable oil 3 Scallions, cut in 1/2" 1 c Seeded, sliced in 1/4" Including greens 4 Eggs, lightly beaten 8 Strips of bacon Strips, red or green pepper 1 c Bean sprouts 2 ts Soy sauce 2 Ribs celery, sliced 4 Trout, 8-10 oz. boned with Mix the vegetables together.

To prepare the lobsters, break off the claws and crack them open with a hammer. Cut off the tip of the tail (with the fins), then sever the tail where it joins the head with a heavy knife. Cut the tail into rings, slicing through the shell between the ribs. Split the head open lengthwise with a hard blow of a knife and remove and discard the gritty stomach sac. Pour the coral (if any) and the green matter (which is the liver) into a stainer over a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and reserve. Put the saffron to soak. In a heavy-bottomed pan big-enough to contain the lobsters and sauce, fry the onion and leek gently in 3 tablespoons olive oil until translucent. Add the garlic, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and liquid, wine, orange juice, and bay leaf. Season and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Add the fennel, parsley, mint, saffron and liquid, and lobster tail pieces and claws with their shells (but not the legs) and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. In the meantime push the coral and liver of the lobster through the strainer and beat the pur‚e with the remaining olive oil. When the lobster has simmered for 10 minutes, ladle out about 1 cup sauce and beat this into the coral pur‚e. Pour this back into the pot, stir, and simmer for another 10 minutes.

The nickname asserts their introduction into Greece by the Phoenicians, but not with these ingredients! Within my lifetime I have seen the oil give way to butter and semolina succumb to flour. Combine the honey, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Combine the 1 pound finely chopped walnuts with 1/4 cup of the softened butter, 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, and 5 tablespoons of the syrup. Reserve the remaining syrup and set the filling aside while you prepare the dough. Using an electric mixer, cream the remaining butter (1 cup) with the oil until light and fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, beating on medium speed. Add the orange juice slowly to the batter, along with the Cognac or brandy, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, and the other spices. In a small bowl, sift the baking powder, soda, and 2 cups of the flour together. Slowly add the flour mixture to the batter and beat for a few minutes. Continuing to mix by hand, add only enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead. Break off small pieces of the dough and shape with your fingers into oblongs about 2-1/2-inches long and 1-inch high. Flatten between your palms and place 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center. Work the dough around the filling to enclose it completely and press firmly to seal. This procedure sounds difficult, but with many hands it is quite simple. Place on a cookie sheet and continue until all the cakes are shaped. Bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 25 minutes, then cool on a rack. Bring the syrup back to a boil. Dip each cake into the syrup and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped walnuts and teaspoon cinnamon, or more if desired. Cool before storing. Note: You may bake and cool melomakarona, store a few days in advance and dip in syrup as described above a day or so before serving. The flavor improves after a few days.

With the tip of a very sharp knife, score the top filo sheets into square or diamond shapes, being careful not to score as deeply as the custard. Bake on the center rack of a moderate (350 F) oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until crisp and golden chestnut in color and the custard is firm. Meanwhile, boil the remaining 1-1/2 cups sugar with the water and lemon or orange peel for 5 minutes. Add the brandy or Cognac, if desired, and set aside. Remove the galaktoboureko from the oven and set on a cake rack. Spoon the hot syrup over the entire galaktoboureko, particularly the edges. Cool thoroughly before cutting and serving.

Traditionally they are put onto a hot comal and cooked until the skin is wrinkled and brown and the flesh is soft right through--this takes about 20 to 25 minutes for an 8 ounce tomato. However, since this method is very messy, it is best to line a shallow metal pan with foil and put the tomatoes in it. Place them under a hot broiler--do not have the flame too high or the tomato will burn without cooking through--and turn them from time to time so that they cook through evenly--the skin will be blistered and charred. A medium tomato will take about 20 minutes. Blend the tomato, skin, core, and seeds to a fairly smoothe sauce. The skin and core give both body and flavor to the sauce. And never mind if the skin ~is- charred; that adds character, too. If the skin is very badly blackened and hard in places, then remove a little of it. This method of cooking tomatoes makes for a very rich-flavored sauce.

Also, be sure not to rub your eyes while working with these peppers, and wash your hands well after you're done. These little guys are incendiary. In medium-size bowl, combine tomatoes, peppers, 1/4 cup olive oil, lime juice and cilantro, mix well, and prepare for takeoff. This salsa will keep, covered and refrigerated, about 5 to 6 weeks, mainly because no mold or bacteria would dare to come near the stuff. Yields 2 cups.

It is very "picante". However, if you use 3 chiles, it is only pleasantly picante. This sauce should have a thick, rough consistency and is used with frijoles, rice, or broiled meats. It is best eaten fresh but will keep for a few days in the refrigerator without spoiling. It does not freeze well. Roughly chop the tomatoes, add a little at a time with the rest of the ingredients to a blender jar, and blend for a few seconds with each addition until the sauce has a rough consistency. the key to salsa verde is the tomatillos (tomate verde -- NOT just a green tomato)...don't know where you're from, but if it's the west or southwest, you'll probably find them in the super...if not, they are available canned, in a mexican food section. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Salsa Fresca Categories: Sauces, Mexican Yield: 1 servings 1 lb Ripe Tomatoes 1/2 c Ice Water 1/4 c Chopped Scallions Salt 2 md Finely Chopped Jalapenos 1 ts Crushed Oregano Leaves 1 tb Fresh Lime Juice Chop the tomatoes and add to the onions and jalapenos in a medium sized bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix by hand, bruising the tomato pieces. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve at once as this salsa doesn't keep well. The difference between this salsa and Pico De Gallo is that this recipe calls for oregano and Pice De Gallo calls for cilantro. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Salsa Picante Categories: Sauces, Mexican Yield: 1 servings 2 c Tomatoes, canned, with juice 1 pn Sugar 1 sm Onion Salt, to taste 2 Chile serrano Now are we talking about the mild, Old El Paso-type green chiles (which are a mild sort of chile poblano), or are we talking about jalapenos and serranos? It makes a buncha difference. Salsa picante (which is what we mean when we talk about "salsa" down here) is made with one or both of the last two. Acting on the presumption that it's salsa picante that you mean, here's a recipe. One serrano equals two jalapenos. If you use jalapenos, removing the veins from the inside will make it less hot. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until finely chopped. Pour into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 30 minutes. Cool slightly, pour into a pint jar, and refrigerate, or process in a boiling water bath 10 minutes (in which case reduce the cooking time the same amount). This sauce will keep three to four weeks in the refrigerator.

With a vegetable peeler, pare peel (colored part only) from oranges; cut peel into thin 2-inch-long worms; or use an Oriental shredder to make long shreds. Add orange peel to cranberry mixture. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or as long as overnight. Juice oranges; put juice in a 6 to 8 quart pan or heavy bowl. Stir in cranberry-ginger mixture, the 3 cups cranberry juice, apple concentrate, limeade, grapes and water. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 2 hours. Add ginger ale and about a 1 pound piece of dry ice (DO NOT put small pieces in punch or cups); ice should smolder at least 30 minutes. Ladle into cups. Add any remaining ice when bubbling ceases. Makes 5 quarts; allow about 1-1/2 cups for a serving.

Fresh ginger makes a spicy drink, cooling in summer, warming in winter and always refreshing and energizing. Fruit juices other than the citrus called for below, make interesting variations in its flavour. When using other juices, I always add the juice of a couple of lemons or limes. This recipe makes a concentrate that can be diluted with plain or sparkling water." Pour the boiling water over the grated ginger root, sugar, cloves and cinnamon in a large nonreactive pot or bowl (enamel, glass or stainless steel). Cover and set aside in a warm place, in the sun if possible , for at least an hour. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or cloth. Add the juices and water. Set aside in a warm place for another hour or so. Gently strain the liquid again, taking care not to disturb the sediment at the bottom. Store in the refrigerator in a large nonreactive container. A glass gallon jar or jug works well. Serve warm, chilled or on ice, either as is or diluted with water or sparkling water. A squeeze of fresh lime juice in each glass of ginger drink is "the cat's meow".

MAKES: 5 CUPS or 1 1/4 LITRES SOURCE: _The Non-Drinkers Drink Book_ by Betty Rollin ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Grenadine (Pomegranate Syrup) Categories: Beverages, Fruits Yield: 2 cups 2 Pomegranates, medium-large* 1/2 c ;Water 2 1/2 c Sugar *When choosing pomegranates, reject any with a brownish area on the blossom end; such discoloration indicates the beginning of spoilage and off-flavor. Cut pomegranates open crosswise and pry out the fleshy crimson seeds (the red part is actually the pulpy envelope around a seed), using the tip of a blunt knife. Be careful not to include any fragments of the cottony white pulp in which the seeds are embedded, as it is bitter. You should have about two cups of seeds. Using a food processor or blender, chop the seeds with the sugar and water just long enough to make a rough puree. Don't attempt to make a smooth mixture; it's necessary only to break open the pulpy membranes. Pour the puree into an earthenware or glass bowl; cover it with a cloth. Let stand at room temperature for 3 days, stirring it daily. If the weather is extremely hot, refrigerate the puree after 24 hours. Line a sieve with dampened, very fine nylon net or two layers of dampened fine cheesecloth and set it over a saucepan of stainless-steel or other nonreactive material. Filter the pomegranate syrup into the pot, allowing it to drip without pressing on the pulp. This will take a few hours; you can speed matters up by tying the cheesecloth lining of the sieve into a bag and suspending it above the pot after the initial flow of juice has slowed down. When all the juice has dripped through, discard the seedy pulp. Bring the syrup to a bare simmer (180 F) over medium-low heat, then reduce the heat to very low and scald the syrup, using a candy/jelly thermometer and watching to be sure you keep the temperature below 200 F, for 3 minutes. Skim off any foam, then funnel the syrup into a sterilized, dry bottle. Let the syrup cool, then cap or cork the bottle (use a new cork only) and store it in the refrigerator. To seal the syrup for pantry storage, funnel it into hot, clean half-pint canning jars. Seal with new two-piece canning lids according to manufacturer's directions. Following the method for a boiling-water bath, but keeping the water at simmering temperature (190 F), process the jars for 15 minutes. Cool, label, and store. Yield: About 2 cups. Keeps in either the refrigerator or, after canning, in the pantry for at least a year. The author writes: "Delicate in flavor and ruby-red in color, pomegranate syrup is a supporting player rather than a star. As such, it is much used as a flavor-smoother and sweetener in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks; and it's also a pleasant topping for tart pineapple, peach or nectarine ice cream or sherbet...You might like to taste the real thing: a lot of the 'grenadine' offered nowadays is compounded of sweetening plus anonymous 'fruit' flavors rather than pomegranate juice."

Thus it was a more day than Christmas Day itself. Like Christmas, it was apparently established to compete with a pagan festival , in honor of the Egyptian sun god, celebrated at the winter solstice... In England, Twelfth Night was traditionally celebrated with a delicious drink called Lamb's Wool, made of cider or ale, with roasted apples and sugar and spices. It was the custom to bless apple trees by pouring a libation of cider on them." "This Old English and Irish punch which dates from the Middle Ages, probably gets its name from the whiteness of the roasted apples as they float in the cider." Roast the apples in a baking pan at 450F for about an hour, or until they are very soft and begin to burst. (An alternative - and quicker- procedure is to peel and boil the apples until they are very soft and flaky.) You may leave the apples whole, or break them up. In a large saucepan, dissolve the sugar a few tablespoons at a time in the cider or ale , tasting for sweetness. Add the spices. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour the liquid over the apples in a large punch bowl, or serve in a large heat resistant mugs. MAKES: 8 1 cup servings Note: Nuts make a nice accompaniment to Lamb's Wool (they were originally roasted in with the apples.)

In a large bowl mix 2 cups of the flour, the yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir in the hot water and when mixed, beat with an electric mixer at medium medium speed or with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Add butter and 1 cup more of the flour; when mixed, beat at medium speed or by hand for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. With wooden spoon, gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn dough out on lightly floured surface (use some of the remaining flour) and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic, adding only enough flour to keep dough from sticking. Cover dough with bowl and let stand 20 minutes. In the meantime grease two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pans or a large baking sheet. Uncover dough and knead briefly; divide in half and place in pans or on baking sheet. Brush 2 sheets of plastic wrap with oil and cover loaves loosely. Refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours. When ready to bake, remove from refrigerator, uncover and puncture any surface bubbles with a skewer or wooden toothpick. Place in an unheated oven; turn on oven to 350 degrees F.

INSTRUCTIONS Mix: 2 cups warm milk (110-120 F.), 2 TBSP sugar, and 1 package (TBSP) active dry yeast. Stir well until the yeast is completely dissolved, and allow the yeast to proof. If you wish, you may use water instead of milk, and then add 2/3 cup of powdered milk to the first solid ingredients used below. Once the yeast has proofed, transfer the yeasty liquid to your main mixing bowl and mix in: 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 2 TBSP salt. If you used water to proof your yeast in, remember to add the 2/3 cup of powdered milk at this point. You may add 1/3 cup of rye flour at this point. It will greatly enhance the texture of the bread. You may also add 1 cup of wheat bran at this time. While this will darken the bread quite a bit, and, of course, add some bran to it, it will not change the taste of the bread very much. Some people prefer the taste of the bran'ned bread, others can't tell the difference blindfolded. If you use either of these additions, the amount of total white flour will need to be adjusted. Now add: 4 to 5 cups of white flour one cup at a time, stirring constantly, until the dough is rather stiff. Knead the dough in a mixer, or on a floured board or marble slab. Add more white flour as needed as the dough gets sticky, up to 1 or 2 more cups. The limit is about 6 cups of total flour. Continue kneading until the bread is supple, satiny, and no longer sticky. Butter or oil a bowl and place the dough in it, rolling the dough, so as to cover the entire surface with butter or oil. Cover and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Punch down the dough, knead the dough for another 4 to 5 minutes. Divide into two equal parts, shape into loaves. Place loaves into well-buttered 9" x 5" x 3" bread pans, cover, and let rise until again doubled in size. Slash the loaves with a sharp knife or a single-edged razor blade. You may brush the loaves with lightly beaten egg whites, or water. Bake in a pre-heated 400 F oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped with the knuckles. Remove the loaves from their pans, and put them back into the oven for a few minutes longer to become crisped. Note - don't leave them in the oven too long for crisping, for crisping can quickly turn into burning! ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Buttery Caramel Quicks Categories: Breads Yield: 12 servings 1/3 c Butter or margarine 1 ts Salt 1/3 c Firmly packed brown sugar 2/3 c Milk 1 tb Water 1/3 c Firmly packed brown sugar 2 c All Purpose Flour 1 ts Cinnamon 1/4 c Sugar 1/3 c Chopped pecans 2 1/2 ts Baking powder Preheat oven to 425 degrees - makes 12 rolls.

This sourdough chocolate cake falls in that category. It's got a fudge-like quality you can't get any way except with sourdough and since it's all mixed in one bowl, it's almost as easy as a boxed cake. Put the starter in a large bowl, cover loosely and allow to stand at room temperature until active and bubbling -- at least one hour. Then add the rest of the ingredients, in the order given, beating well after each addition. It is not necessary to sift or premix any of the ingredients as long as you are careful to get the baking powder and soda evenly mixed. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, pour in the batter, which will be thin, and bake in a preheated 350ø. oven for about 30 minutes, or until the layers test done when poked with a toothpick. The cake will have pulled away from the sides of the pan. Allow to cool about 10 minutes before removing from pans, then finish cooling the layers on wire racks. Do not frost until the cake is completely cold. A mild chocolate butter cream frosting is nice with this cake. From: Pitzer, Sara _Baking with Sourdough_ Garden Way Publishing, 1980.
