-CONRAD FEIERABEND (TSNC45A)
1/2 c MARGARINE.
1 c SUGAR.
1 ts VANILLA.
1 EGG.
1 c BUTTERMILK.
1 ts SODA.
3 c FLOUR.
2 1/2 ts BAKING POWDER.
1 ts SALT.
Try mixing Vanilla and egg beat until mixed. Add the Buttermilk and the
Soda; (I have used 7up) and sift the dry ingredients into this. add the
rest of the ingredients, mix well. Put the container into the refrigerator
chill over night. Take out and roll small pieces of the dough into long
strips, then form them into a figure eight,(like a pretzel) put them back
into the Refrigerator for about an hour, when they have raised to
approximately what looks to be the right hight. Bake in a 450 deg
pre-heated oven for approximately 6 to 8 minutes, ( May vary with the
weather so keep an eye on them).But they should be a light brown before you
remove them. Refrigeration is one of the keys of "KRINGLA" making. They
must be refrigerated in order for them to get the flavor, you could bake
them without refrigeration but you lose a lot of the flavor. You can also
use.
A: OATMEAL. B: RAISINS. C: WHOLE WHEAT.
You can fill them with your favorite filling, Cream Cheese, Jelly, ETC. you
don't need eggs or yeast. They are not too sweet, and definitely not Boring
like a bagel, (Sorry Bagel lovers, VBG). It is a coffee Bread not like
Muffins, which are too sweet, and also do not have too many calories. This
recipe came from a fella from the town of LOS OSOS CA He is a out of work
Carpenter who started baking and selling these wonderful Rolls, He said
that this is an original recipe that he got from his grandmother, (Yea for
the Grandmas). Ive tried Nuts, and love the cream Cheese one, You could
even use Custard Filling, Ive also used Different flavored oils like Pure
orange oil, Butterscotch, several Berries types. and they turned out just
great. Hope you enjoy them. Formatted by Elaine Radis

2 tb Powdered sugar
1 tb Brandy Or 1/2 teaspoon

Title: Amaretti
Categories: Cookies, Italian
Servings: 42
1/2 lb Canned almond paste
1 c Sugar
2 lg Egg whites
Granulated sugar
- for dusting
PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 375F. Break the almond paste into small pieces and
combine it with the sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on low
speed until very fine. Add egg whites in 4 additions, mixing about 1 minute
between each. Beat the paste until very smooth, about 2-to-3 minutes. Fill
a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tube with the mixture. Line 2
cookie sheets or jelly roll pans with parchment paper. Pipe the mixture on
the paper in 1-to-1 1/2-inch mounds, about 1-inch apart. Fold a clean
kitchen towel into a long strip and moisten the towel with water. Squeeze
lightly to eliminate excess water, leaving the towel more than damp. Slap
the surface of the Amaretti gently with the towel to moisten them and make
the surface smooth. Sprinkle the Amaretti with granulated sugar. Bake about
15-to-20 minutes, until they are well risen, a deep golden color, and their
surface is covered with tiny cracks. Remove from the oven and place the
pans on racks to cool. To remove the Amaretti from the papers, turn the
papers over with the Amaretti still adhering to them and wet the papers
with hot water, using a brush. Leave a few minutes, then pull on the papers
to release the Amaretti.
HERE ARE 2 VARIATIONS OF AMARETTI: Amaretti di Pinoli: After moistening the
piped Amaretti, strew them with pine nuts, sprinkling them on heavily, then
pressing lightly with the fingertips so that the pine nuts adhere. Do not
dust with sugar. Bake as for the Amaretti. Fior di Mandorla: This variation
of Amaretti is popular in Southern Italy and Sicily, where the mixture is
sometimes colored green or pink during the mixing. Their rough, craggy
appearance is a nice contrast to the smoothness of the standard Amaretti.
Prepare the Amaretti, up to, and including, moistening them with the towel.
Dust heavily with confectioners' sugar and allow the piped mixture to dry
at room temperature, uncovered, at least 12 hours, or overnight. After they
have dried, indent each of the piped mounds with the thumb, first and
middle fingers of one hand, positioning them equidistant around the
circumference, and pinching gently inward, about half way into the center.
Bake the Fior di Mandorla at 375F, about 15-to-20 minutes. Cool and loosen
the Fior di Mandorla as for the Amaretti.

1/2 c Icing sugar; sifted
1/4 c Egg whites (1/4 c = 2 whites
1/2 ts Grated lemon rind, optional
2 dr Almond essence
Whole cloves
Additional icing sugar
Rose or orange flower water
- (optional)
Makes: 30 Cooking time: 20 minutes Oven temperature: 160 C (325 F)
Blend ground almonds with icing sugar measured after sifting. Add lightly
beaten egg whites with lemon rind if used and almond essence. Mix to a
firm dough with hands. Clean hands and rub with a little butter to prevent
dough sticking while shaping. Break off small pieces of dough the size of
a walnut and form into pear shapes. Insert a whole clove in the top of
each to resemble a stem and place upright on a buttered and floured baking
sheet.
Bake in a moderately slow oven for 20 minutes, covering with brown paper if
tops begin to brown. Sift 2 cups icing sugar into a bowl and dip hot
Amigthalota into it. If desired, a little rose or orange flower water may
be brushed onto Amigthalota before dipping into icing sugar. Place on a
wire rack to cool.
Sift remaining sugar from bowl into base of a container and arrange cooled
Almond Pears upright in a single layer. Sift more sugar thickly over tops
and sides, seal and store for a day or two before using.

Title: Anginares Me Anitho - Artichokes With Dill
Categories: Greek, Main dish, Appetizers, Vegetables, Vegetarian
Servings: 8
Karen Mintzias
12 md Globe artichokes
1 Lemon (juice only)
Lemon slices
3 tb Flour (optional)
1/2 c Chopped scallinos,white only
1/4 c Olive or other oil
1 Lemon (juice only)
3 c Water
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
2 tb Finely chopped dill
3 ts Cornflour
Cold water
2 Eggs
Chopped dill for garnish
Serves: 4 as a light meal, 8 as a first course Cooking time: 45-50 minutes
Wash artichokes well and cut off stem close to base. Have ready a bowl of
cold water with the juice of 1 lemon and some lemon slices added. If
desired stir in 2-3 tablespoons flour as this is quite effective in
preventing discoloration.
As each artichoke is prepared, rub cut surfaces with a lemon slice from the
bowl and place in bowl until all are prepared. Cook as soon as possible
after preparation.
Remove 3 or 4 layers of leaves until the tender inner leaves remain. Scoop
out choke and pink thorny leaves from centre, using a spoon or melon ball
scoop. Cut in half.
In a large pan gently fry spring onion in oil until soft. Add juice of 1/2
lemon, water, about 2 teaspoons salt and a good grinding of pepper. Bring
to the boil.
Drain prepared artichokes and add to pan with dill. Return to a slow
simmer, cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes or until artichokes are
tender. Stain cooking liquid into a pan and boil until reduced to half
original quantity (about 1-1/2 cups). Keep artichokes hot in a slow oven.
Mix cornflour to a paste with a little cold water and stir into simmering
liquid. Stir until thickened and bubbling and leave to simmer gently.
Beat eggs in a mixing bowl until light and frothy and gradually add
remaining lemon juice. Gradually pour in simmering stock, beating
constantly. Return to pan and stir over low heat for a minute or 2 to cook
the egg.
Pile artichokes on a warm platter, pour sauce on top and sprinkle with
chopped dill. Serve as a light meal or as a first course.

Title: Anginares Tarama
Categories: Greek, Appetizers, Vegetables
Servings: 6
Karen Mintzias
6 sm Fresh globe artichokes
1 1/2 oz Tarama; rinsed if necessary
-=OR=-
2 oz -Smoked skinned cod's roe
1 tb Finely grated onion pulp
2 lg Juicy lemons
1 c Fruity olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
To clean the artichokes, cut off the stems flush with the base, remove any
tough, unsightly outer leaves and cut off the top one-third of the flower
bud itself. Force the leaves open a little, and rinse under cold water,
with a squeeze of lemon or a splash of vinegar to prevent discoloring.
Place the artichokes upside-down in a pot large enough to hold them all in
one layer and pour in boiling water to come one-fourth of the way up the
sides. Salt and simmer 15-40 minutes, depending on their age and size -
until the heart is just tender when pricked with a fork. Drain and refresh
them under cold water; drain again and chill.
Beat the tarama or smoked cod's roe with the grated onion. You can do this
easily in a food processor. Finely grate the zest of one lemon and beat
in, with 2 teaspoons boiling water.
Squeeze the juice of both lemons. Alternately dribble in lemon juice and
olive oil, beating each addition in before adding the next, as though
making mayonnaise - it may not need all the oil. If you are doing this by
hand, it take perseverence and elbow grease to make it nice and light.
Taste and season with pepper. Open the artichokes and remove the inner,
soft leaves and then the hairy choke. Spoon tarama into the cup of leaves.

Title: Another Gyros
Categories: Lamb, Greek
Servings: 6
2 lb Lean ground lamb
2 sl Homemade bread, toasted and
-crumbled
1 ts Allspice, crushed
1 ts Coriander seed, crushed
1 Clove garlic, pressed
1 Onion, grated
1 ts Fresh savory, chopped
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to
-taste
Bacon slices (optional)
In large bowl, combined all ingredients. Mix well, kneading until mixture
is stiff. Make fingers of meat (about 5-inches longer and not over
2-inches in diameter). Place fingers on skewer spacing about 1-inch apart.
Cook over hot coals for 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently until cooked
through.
You may wrap the "fingers" on the skewer with sliced bacon. If anyone
tries this, let me know how it works out.
NOTE: I have this frequently in Greece and here in the U.S., but as I have
said, I view it as a "deli" item. Krinos Foods has a "gyros kit" that is
sold in the frozen food section of some supermarkets.

1 c Sugar, or more if apples are
-tart
1 ts Cinnamon
1 Lemon rind (grandma does NOT
-use this)
1/2 Stick butter, melted
Source: Treasured Slovenian & International Recipes
*DIRECTIONS* Melt stick of butter and lightly brown the bread crumbs. Set
aside to cool. Sprinkle the cooled bread crumbs over the stretched dough.
Spread the sliced apples evenly over the dough and sprinkle sugar, cinnamon
and lemon rind over the apples. Melt the 1/2 stick of butter and when it
has cooled spoon over the apples. Roll up dough. Place in well greased pan
and bake in 350 F oven for one hour.

otherwise the strudel will stick to the pan.
*VARIATIONS* Instead of lemon rind Grandma uses lemon juice. Grandma also
waits until the dough is ready to slice the apples, that way they don't
turn brown. She also uses the slicer on the side of a grater to slice the
apples really thin.

Categories: Greek, Meats, Main dish
Servings: 6
Karen Mintzias
6 Boneless lamb leg steaks *
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tb Butter or oil
2 md Onions; sliced
1 Garlic clove
12 Fillo sheets
1/2 c Butter; melted
Salt
3 md Tomatoes; peeled
1 ts Rigani or oregano
125 g Feta cheese; cut in 6 slices
*Note: Lamb steaks should be about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick.
Serves: 6 Oven temperature: 200 C (400 F) Cooking time: 25-30 minutes
Trim steaks of most of the fat and shape neatly - trimmings can be used in
a ground lamb dish. Season with pepper.
Heat butter or oil in a frying pan and brown steaks quickly on each side -
do not cook through. Lift out onto a dish and leave until cool. Add
onions to pan and fry gently until transparent, add garlic and remove from
heat.
Brush a sheet of fillo pastry with melted butter and place another sheet on
top, brushing again with butter. Fold in half to make almost a square of
fillo. Put aside and cover wtih a dry tea towel, then one dampened with
warm water. Repeat with remaining fillo to give 6 prepared squares. Take
one square and brush top with butter - leave remaining pastry covered.
Place a lamb steak in the centre and season lightly with salt. Top with
onion-garlic mixture and cover with 2 slices of tomato. Sprinkle with a
little rigani, salt and pepper and place a slice of feta cheese on top.
Bring up ends of fillo pastry and double-fold over top. Fold in ends as
you would a package then tuck ends underneath. This is known as a the
chemist's (druggist's) fold. Place on a buttered baking tray. Repeat with
remaining ingredients.
Brush tops and sides of packages lightly with melted butter and bake in a
preheated hot oven for 15 minutes. Serve immediately if possible, though
they will survive in the oven with heat turned off for about 10 minutes.
Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve with boiled green beans or zucchini
dressed with olive and lemon juice.
Note: Medallions of lamb cut from a trimmed loin can be used instead of
the steaks. You will require 12, and place 2 in each package.

it brown. Remove two sheets of filo, brush with hot butter over the first,
then cover with the second sheet and brush it with butter. In the center
of the buttered filo place 1 lamb chop, 2 tablspoons peas, 2 potato balls,
2 cherry tomatoes, and a slice of kasseri. Sprinkle with salt and pepper,
a heaping tablespoon of parsley, and a pinch of oregano. Fold the filo
around the lamb and vegetables like a sealed parcel. Place, seam side
down, on a buttered baking pan (approximately 11 x 15 x 3 inches) and set
aside while you repeat the procedure with the remaining ingredients to make
8 "parcels". Brush hot butter on the tops, then bake in a moderate oven
(350 F) for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden in color. Remove from the oven
and arrange on a warm platter or on individual dishes. Serve warm, with a
fresh-cooked or raw vegetable salad.
Note: The vegetables and herbs may be varied. Substitute green beans or
lima beans for peas, use thyme or basil instead of oregano. Arni Exohiko
is frequently prepared using buttered waxed paper, parchment paper or
aluminum foil rather than with filo.

4 tb Olive oil
1 Steak dried salt cod
1 Ripe tomato (or dbl. amt.)
- peeled, cored
- and very coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 2/3 c Short-grain rice
Short-grain rice adds the perfect texture to this traditional dish from
northern Portugal. The salt cod may eliminate the need for additional salt.
BROWN THE ONION in the olive oil in a large heavy saucepan over moderate
heat. Meanwhile, shred the cod, remove the skin and bones and wash but do
not soak. Add the cod to the onion, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and leave to cook 20-to-30 minutes, covered, over low
heat. Meanwhile, wash and drain the rice. Add 3 1/3 cups water to the pan
(add twice as much water as there is rice), season to taste with salt and
pepper. When the water boils, add the rice and continue to cook on low heat
until the rice is done--probably 25-to-30 minutes. Cover the kettle for the
last half of cooking.

Add the broth and bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer for 15
minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.
Beat the eggs and cheese together. When the asparagus is tender, reduce
the heat so the soup is no longer simmering. Very slowly ladle some of the
hot soup into the beaten eggs, stirring continuously. After adding about 2
cups of the hot soup to the eggs, reverse the process and gradually stir
the eggs mixture into the soup pot. The soup must not boil or the eggs
will scramble. Heat until thickened.
Put one slice of toasted bread into each soup dish. Ladle the hot soup on
top and pass additional grated cheese.
Serves 6.
NOTE: To trim asparagus, hold the tip in one hand and the base of the
stalk in the other. Bend gently. The asparagus will snap, leaving the
tender part with the tip.

Title: Astakos Plaki - Lobster in Tomato Sauce with Saffron Rice
Categories: Greek, Seafood
Servings: 4
Karen Mintzias
2 Lobsters (about 2 lbs each)
- (live, or recently dead)
25 Saffron strands; soaked in
1/4 c Hot water
1/4 lb Finely chopped onion
1 md Leek; washed, finely chopped
8 tb Fruity olive oil
3 Garlic cloves; minced
1 lb Tomatoes; skinned, seeded,
- and finely chopped
4 Sun-dried tomatoes (in oil)
- pounded to a paste
1/2 c White wine
1/4 c Orange juice
1 Bay leaf
Salt & freshly ground Pepper
1/2 c Finely chopped Fennel
1/2 c Minced flat-leaf Parsley
1 tb Finely chopped fresh Mint
Saffron Rice
If you have live lobsters, plunge them into a pan of boiling water for 1
minute, then into cold water.
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 purée 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 purée. Pour this back into the pot, stir, and simmer for another
10 minutes. Serve with saffron rice.

-least 1 1/4 inches
((Note: Per Horst Scharfenberg, this recipe originated in the town of

from South America created their own version of gaucho-grilled steaks. The
dish was then further refined by Scharfenberg's mentor August Goerg. K.B.))
Per person: thick, trimmed
Mix together the shallot or onion with the pepper and mace. Insert a few
shallot pieces into the steak using the point of a small knife. Coat the
steak with the shallot mixture, pressing it in so it will adhere.
Remove the loose shallot pieces and grill the steak (over a fire of oak
logs, says August Goerg, from which the bark has been removed).* Take the
steaks off the grill while they are still pink inside. Sprinkle them with
salt.
*Note: A special grill is used, suspended with 3 chains from an iron
tripod and constantly swinging through the flames.

Categories: Austria, Breads
Servings: 6
4 oz Dry bread, diced
1/2 oz (1 Tbsp) butter or lard
1 Egg
1/2 c Milk
3 oz (3/4 cup) flour
Salt and pepper
1 tb Chopped fresh herbs
-(parsley, chervil,
-marjoram) -
1 Tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chervil, marjoram) - optional, but
a great improvement
You will need a frying pan, a large and a small bowl, and a saucepan of
water or soup. Fry the diced bread lightly in the fat in a frying pan.
Meanwhile, mix the egg and the milk in a small bowl. Tip the contents of
the frying pan into a large bowl, and pour the egg and milk over all. Stir
in the flour, and season with salt and pepper. Add the herbs, if using.
You may need more milk to make a soft dough. Allow it to stand for 1/2 an
hour.
Dip your hand into cold water and roll the mixture into a dozen small
balls. Put a pot of salted water on to boil, if there isn't a simmering
soup pot waiting. Drop little balls of dough into the boiling salted water
or the soup. Poach them for 10 to 15 minutes, until they are light and
firm and well risen.
Yield: 12 dumplings Time: 1 hour
Notes: You may include chopped fried bacon or cubed pork cracklings in the
mixture. Leaving out flour will result in a lighter dumpling.

-yeast
1 Scant tsp. malt syrup
1/3 c Warm water
2/3 c Milk at room temperature
1 c (135 grams) unbleached
-all-purpose flour
This takes 2 days but is worth the wait. Makes 2 round loaves Starter
Stir the yeast and malt into the water; let stand until foamy, about 10
minutes. Stir in the milk and beat in the flour with a rubber spatula or
wooden spoon about 100 strokes until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and
let stand until bubbly, at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
Dough 2 cups water, at room temperature 6 1/4 cups (860 grams) unbleached
all-purpose flour 1 T. salt Cornmeal
Mix the starter and the water in a mixer until the starter is well broken
up. Add the flour and salt and mix for 2 to 3 minutes at low speed. The
dough will be smooth but won't pull away from the side of the bowl. Change
to the dough hook and knead at medium speed, scraping down the side of the
bowl as necessary, until the dough is elastic but slightly sticky, 3 to 4
minutes. Finish kneading by hand on a floured work surface.
First rise Place in a well-oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and
let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. The dough is ready when it is
very bubbled and blistered.
Shaping and second rise Cut the dough in half on a floured surface and
shape into 2 round loaves. Place on an oiled cookie sheet sprinkled with
cornmeal. Cover and let rise till doubled, about 1 hour.
Baking Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake about 1 hour and cool on racks.
To get a really good crust spray the loaves with water 3 times in the first
15 minutes of baking.

1 lb Squid
Salt
6 tb Olive oil
1 Onion; chopped
1/3 c Raw long-grain white rice
1/2 c Chopped fresh parsley
1/4 c Chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tb White wine
1/4 c Pine nuts
1/4 c Black raisins
Freshly ground pepper
4 Peeled tomatoes; drained
1/3 c White wine
Wash and clean the squid, separating the outer sacs from the heads and
tentacles, removing and discarding the translucent cartilage, and small
sand bag and ink. Rub salt on the outer sacs and rinse them inside and out
with cold water. Heads and tentacles should be rinsed thoroughly and
cooked along with the sacs after you stuff the latter. Drain and set
aside.
Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a heavy frying pan, then add the onion and cook,
without browning, until transparent. Stir in the rice and saute a few
minutes, until golden. Blend in the parsley, mint, 2 tablespoons wine,
pine nuts, and raisins, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add
enough water to half cover and cook for a few minutes, then stuff the squid
sacs with the mixture using a very small spoon and allowing enough liquid
in each for the rice to cook. Seal opening with skewers or toothpicks.
Place the stuffed sacs with the heads and tentacles in a baking-serving
dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, 1/3 cup wine, and a little salt and pepper
in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the
squid and dribble the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top. Bake
in a medium-slow oven (300 F) for 1 1/2 hours or until the squid and rice
are tender and the sauce has thickened. Serve warm or cold.

golden. Place on wire rack to cool. Drizzle Rose Water Syrup evenly over
top and allow to soak several hours. Stud each diamond-shape with whole
clove.

Title: Baklava Rolls
Categories: Greek, Desserts
Servings: 6
1/2 lb Walnuts, finely chopped
2 1/2 tb Sugar
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1/8 ts Ground Cloves
Syrup:
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 1/2 c Water
1 Cinnamon Stick
2 ts Lemon Juice
1/2 c Honey
1 lb Phyllo Dough
3/4 lb Unsalted Butter, melted
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix first four ingredients together for filling.
Combine syrup ingredients and cook until sugar dissolves and mixture turns
syrupy. Set aside to cool. Remove cinnamon stick before using.
To Assemble:
Unfold phyllo. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut phyllo sheets crosswise,
into thirds. Cover phyllo not being used with a barely damp towel. Using
two pieces of phyllo - phyllo sheets are so thin they must be doubled - and
keeping narrow ends towards you, brush with butter. Place 1 to 1 1/2
teaspoons filling 1/4 inch from end nearest you, to within 1/4 inch of
sides. Fold long sides in 1/4 inch. Fold over bottom to cover filling.
Place a clean pencil on top of fold and roll into a cigar-like cylinder.
Push both ends toward center and remove pencil. Place roll on cookie sheet
and generously brush with butter. Repeat with remaining filling and phyllo.
Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Dip hot rolls into cooled syrup -
kitchen tongs work well for this. Place onto a platter to cool. Cover and
refrigerate. Can be frozen.

MMMMM--------------------------COOKY FILLING-------------------------------
2 c Sweet butter
1 c Confectioners' sugar
1 Egg yolk
1 ts Vanilla or almond extract
4 c Flour
MMMMM------------------------------SYRUP-----------------------------------
4 c Granulated sugar
4 c Water
1 c Honey
Lemon juice to taste
MMMMM-----------------------------BAKLAVA----------------------------------
1 lb Toasted blanched almonds *
1/2 c Zwieback crumbs
4 tb Granulated sugar
1 ds Cinnamon
1 lb Phyllo pastry sheets
1 1/2 c Sweet butter; melted
*Note: Either toasted blanched almonds, or walnut meats, or half of each,
(finely chopped) may be used.
Cooky Filling: Cream the 2 cups sweet butter until light. Gradually beat
in the confectioners' sugar and continue to beat until mixture is fluffy.
Add egg yolk and vanilla or almond extract and blend well. Work in about 4
cups flour to make a medium-soft dough. Set aside and make syrup.
Syrup: In a saucepan combine the granulated sugar and water. Bring to a
boil and boil for 15 minutes or until syrup is slightly thick. Add honey
and again bring to the boiling point. Add lemon juice to taste, and cool.
Mix almonds or walnuts, or a combination of the two, with zwieback, 4 T
granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Brush 2 sheets of phyllo pastry evenly
with butter and sprinkle with nut mixture. Place 2 buttered sheets of
phyllo on top and sprinkle with nut mixture. Shape a portion of cooky
filling into a 1/2-inch-thick roll and place the roll along one edge of the
pastry sheets. Roll up loosely, cut into 2-inch slices, and place slices
in a buttered cake pan. (Continue in this method until all phyllo pastry
and/or cooky filling is used.) Brush tops of each slice with butter and
bake in a 350 F oven for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Dip the hot
baklava slices, one at a time, in cold syrup, allowing each piece to remain
in the syrup for a few minutes.

Categories: Desserts, Greek
Servings: 60
Karen Mintzias
3 1/2 c Granulated sugar
2 1/2 c Water
2 tb Honey
1 Lemon rind
1 Stick cinnamon
4 Whole cloves
1 1/4 lb Walnuts & blanched almonds
- Chopped medium fine
2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 ts Ground cloves
1 1/2 lb Commercial filo sheets
1 lb Sweet butter; melted
Combine 3 cups sugar, the water, honey, whole lemon rind, and whole spices
in a saucepan and bring to boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes,
then remove the lemon peel and spices and cool.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the nuts, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and
ground spices and set aside. Lay filo sheets flat, cover with waxed paper
and then a damp towel. Keep covered except when removing to assemble the
baklava. Count 8 filo sheets, fold, cover and refrigerate to reserve for
the top. Using a large pastry brush, butter an 11 1/2-inch by 15 1/2-inch
by 3-inch baking pan. Lay a filo sheet on the bottom of the pan, brush
with warm butter, and repeat using 8 sheets. Scoop up a handful of the
nut-spice mixture and sprinkle over the top filo sheet inside the pan. Lay
on 3 or more filo sheets, brushing each with butter, and sprinkle again
with the nut mixture. Continue until all the nuts and filo are used. (The
important things here are to butter each filo and spread the nuts evenly.
The way to do the latter is to rotate the pan several times during the
procedure.) Now you can remove the reserved sheets from the refrigerator
and spread over the top, brushing on each sheet.
Using a long, very sharp knife, score the baklava from top to bottom into
diamond shapes planning in advance the size desired. Be sure the knife
touches the bottom of the pan as you cut. Heat the remaining butter to
sizzling and pour over the top. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 1 1/4 hours
or until golden chestnut in color and flaky. Remove from the oven (in the
pan) to a rack, and spoon the cooled syrup over the entire pastry. Cool in
the pan, then serve each piece individually.

" This is a vegetarian version of a Bedouin dish. If you serve it with
rice, try adding saffron or tumeric to the rice before cooking. It adds a
distinctive flavor as well as color, creating 'red' rice."
Peel the onions and place them in a large pan of boiling water. Reduce
the heat and let them simmer for 15-20 minutes, covered, until they are
fairly tender. When they are ready, take them out and set aside to cool.
Now remove the centre section of each onion, to leave a shell about 3/4
inch thick.
In a bowl, mix together the lentils, pepper, salt, yogurt, dates,
walnuts, raisins or sultanas and bread crumbs.
Fill the onions with this mixture. Keep any that remains and mix it with
the chopped discarded onion centres.
Place the filled onions in an oven proof dish, spoon any remaining
mixture around them and cook for about 20 minutes. Garnish with parsley

Title: Basel Chocolate-Spice Cookies (Basel Brunsli)
Categories: Cookies, Switzerland, Entertain, Desserts
Servings: 2
1 1/4 c Blanched whole almonds
-(about 7 ounces)
1 1/2 c Powdered sugar
3 1/2 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/8 ts Ground cloves
3 oz Bitterswet (not unsweetened)
-or swmisweet
Chocolate, chopped fairly
-fine
1/4 ts (generous) almond extract
2 lg Egg whites
2 To 5 Tbl confectioners'
-sugar for rolling out
-cookies
Heat oven to 325F. Line several baking sheets with aluminum foil.
In a food processor, process the almonds and 1 cup powdered sugar until the
almonds are powder-fine but not oily; stop the processor and scrape down
the sides several times. Add the cocoa powder, cinnamon, cloves, and
chocolate; continue processing until the chocolate is finely ground. Add
the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, the almond extract, and egg whites;
process until the mixture is blended and just forms a mass. Set the dough
aside for 5 to 10 minutes to stiffen slightly.
Generously dust a work surface with powdered sugar. If the dough seems too
soft to roll out easily, dust it with more sugar and knead until the
consistency is manageable, but avoid adding any more sugar than absolutely
necessary. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness, lifting it with a
spatula frequently and redusting the surface and rolling pin with powdered
sugar to prevent sticking. Cut out the cookies using a 2 1/4-inch
heart-shaped (or similar) cutter. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to
the prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart.
Bake the cookies for 9 to 12 minutes or until almost firm on top and
slightly puffy. Let them stand on the foil lined baking sheets until
completely cooled. Peel from the foil. Store airtight for 3 to 4 days.
Freeze, airtight, for longer storage.
Makes about forty 2 1/4-inch cookies.

Title: Basel Honey-Spice Cookies (Basel Leckerli)
Categories: Cookies, Switzerland, Entertain, Desserts
Servings: 50
2/3 c Clover honey
2/3 c Granulated sugar
1 tb Kirsch (cherry brandy) or
-orange juice
2 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Ground cloves
Finely grated peel (yellow
-part only) of one
Large lemon
1/4 c Finely chopped candied lemon
-peel
1/4 c Finely chopped candied
-orange peel
2/3 c Finely chopped blanched
-slivered almonds
2 1/4 c All-purpose or unbleached
-white flour (or more)
1 1/2 c Powdered sugar
1/8 ts Vanilla extract
Heat the oven to 350F. Generously grease two 10-by-14-inch or larger
baking shets. Stir together the honey, sugar, and kirsch in a medium-sized
saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture, stirring, until the sugar
completely dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from
the heat and stir in the spices, lemon peel, candied peels, and almonds
until completely incorporated. Stirring vigorously, gradually ad 2 1/4
cups of flour to the pan; the mixture will become very stiff. If the
mixture feels sticky and too soft to roll out, stir or knead in a bit more
flour, but be careful not to overflour. Set the mixture aside until cooled
to barely warm.
Sprinkle a work surface generously with flour. Divide the dough in half.
Roll out half of dough into an 8 1/2-by-13-inch rectangle, frequently
running a spatula under the dough and dusting the work surface. As needed,
also dust the top of the dough and the rolling pin with flour. Transfer
the dough to a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the second half of the
dough. Prick the dough lightly all over with the tines of a fork.
Stagger the baking sheets on racks in the center third of the oven; switch
positions halfway through the baking to ensure even browning. Bake for 13
to 16 minutes or until the dough top is just tinged with brown and slightly
darker on the edges; avoid overbaking, as cookies will become crunchy and
hard. Carefully run a spatula under the dough rectangles to loosen them
from the pans.
When just cool enough to handle, transfer the rectangles to a cutting board
and cut away any uneven, dry edges using a large serrated knife. Deeply
score the rectangles, but do not cut completely through the surface,
lengthwise and crosswise, to yield 1-by-2 1/2-inch bars. Return the scored
rectangles to the baking sheets. In a small saucepan stir together the
powdered sugar, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of water until thoroughly
blended. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring. Boil, stirring, for 20 to
30 seconds, until smooth, very fluid, and translucent. Divide the mixture
between the rectangles, pour over the top and quickly spread the glaze over
the entire surface. Let stand until the glaze sets and turns white again,
about 1 hour. Bend the rectangles to break apart or cut through the score
marks to separate into bars. Let stand until the glaze is dry and hard.
Pack airtight. Store for up to 3 weeks or more.
Makes 50 to 60 1-by-2 1/2-inch bars.

Title: Basic Biscotti
Categories: Cookies, Italian
Servings: 72
4 oz Blanched almonds
2 1/2 c Flour
2 c Granulated sugar
1/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Baking soda
3 Eggs
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in
oven until lightly golden. Let cool. Coarsely chop half the nuts. Butter 2
large baking sheets. Mix flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. Beat in eggs,
then whole and chopped nuts. Mix to obtain a firm dough. Knead briefly,
then divide dough into 4 pieces. On a floured work surface, roll each piece
under your hands into a cylinder 15 inches long and about 1 1/2 inches in
diameter. Place 2 rolls, well separated, on each baking sheet and bake 15
to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned and firm to the touch. With a
spatula, carefully transfer the rolls to a cutting board and slice each one
diagonally into cookies about 1/2-inch thick. Set wire racks on the baking
sheets and lay out the biscotti on them. Return them to the oven for 20 to
30 minutes, or until very firm and crisp. Cool on the racks, then transfer
them to a tin for long keeping.
Try adding 1 1/2-to-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to this
recipe for a nice variation.

Title: Basic Pizza Dough
Categories: Italian, Breads, Pizza
Servings: 4
4 1/2 c Unbleached all-purpose
White flour
1 ts Salt
1/4 c Olive oil
2 pk Dry yeast
1 1/2 c Warm water
2 ts Light brown sugar
Measure 1/2 cup warm water (110 F) into 2 cup container and stir in the
brown sugar. (Make sure water is warm, not hot - too hot will kill the
yeast). Dissolve the 2 packages of dried yeast in the water and set it
aside for 5 minutes. Will become frothy. (about 2 cups worth!)
Sift 4 cups of the flour and the salt into a large mixing bowl. Make a
depression in the middle of the flour and pour in 3/4 of the olive oil and
1 cup of warm water. When the yeast is ready, add it also.
Dust your kneading surface with flour, then mix the ingredients in the bowl
with your hands. Place dough ball on the floured surface and knead from 8
to 10 minutes. Add flour to the kneading surface if the dough is too
sticky or wet. Eventually the dough will become elastic.
Rub the insides of a clean bowl with the remaining olive oil and place the
dough in it, coating the dough with olive oil by turning it in the bowl.
Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in warm, draft-free place until
double in size, 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. An oven with the light on or a lit
burner pilot will provide suitable heat for rising dough.
When dough has risen, divide into two halves, then roll each out on floured
surface. A round shape may be cut out with table knife using 12" bowl or
plate as template.
Sufficient for 2 12" thin-crust pizzas, or 1 12" thick-crust.
HINT: Before filling and baking, form rim around outer ring of pizza dough
to hold ingredients better. Brush the inside area of the dough, not the
rim, with olive oil and let the dough sit in a warm place and rise a little
before filling. Then spoon in sauce, cover with 1 lb. mozzarella cheese,
add meat toppings, then cover with mozzarella/parmesan mixture of cheese.
Then brush rim of pizza crust with olive oil. Sprinkle the pizza pan or
oven tiles with cornmeal to prevent pizza from sticking to cooking surface!
THE VERY BEST: Cook on a pizza stone or oven tile at 500 F. The unglazed
oven tile makes a huge difference in the crispiness and texture of the
crust. It absorbs moisture and keeps oven temperatures even. May even be
removed with pizza and set on a rack on table - will keep pizza warm much
longer.

Title: Basic Potato Dumplings
Categories: Pasta, Italian
Servings: 8
8 md Potatoes
1 Egg Yolk
1 tb Salt
2 c All-Purpose Flour, Up To
- 2-1/2 Cups
1 tb Vegetable Oil
1/4 c Butter
1/2 c Grated Parmesan Cheese
Puncture potatoes in several places with a fork. Bake 1 hour in a 350F
oven or until tender. Remove and discard skins. Mash potatoes through a
ricer or food mill into a large bowl, and let cool a little. Add egg yolk,
salt, and 2 cups flour. Mix well. Knead dough on work surface or board
into a ball. It should be soft and a little sticky. If it's too sticky,
add a little flour. Lightly flour surface and hands. Break dough into
egg-size pieces. Roll until thickness of thumb. Cut roll into 1-inch
pieces. Push each Gnocchi against the back of a fork to imprint a pattern.
This helps them absorb more sauce (and makes them a little prettier).
Arrange them on a floured tray. Fill a large saucepan 2/3 full with salted
water. Bring to a boil. Add oil and dumplings. Stir, to make sure they
don't stick t bottom. When they come to surface, let them cook 10-12
seconds more. Remove with a slotted spoon as they are done. They get soggy
if overcooked (they absorb more moisture than regular pasta). Serve with
butter and Parmesan cheese or your favorite sauce.

Categories: German

1 c (scant) flour

1 Egg, beaten
A few tablespoons white wine
-(or hard cider)
1 Egg white
1 tb Melted butter that has been
-allowed to cool
1 pn Salt
1 pn (small) sugar
This recipe is taken almost verbatim from a cookbook originally published
in 1709; the language has been slightly modernized, but only 2 ingredients
have been added (sugar and salt).
plenty of nice fresh sage leaves oil or shortening for deep frying
Take the flour and mix with the cold water into a thick batter that must be
smooth. Then mix in the beaten egg and stir well; pour in a little sour
wine, yet not too much. Beat the egg white into soft peaks and fold into
the batter. Finally, add the butter as well as a very little salt and
sugar and stir the batter once more. Wash and dry off the sage leaves,
dredge them in the batter, and fry them on both sides in hot lard (see
Note) until crispy.
Note: I [=Horst Scharfenberg] would suggest that you fold in the egg white
last of all and let the batter sit for about 30 minutes beforehand. Also,
vegetable oil or shortening is recommended for deep frying rather than
lard.
Makes 8 servings.

Servings: 4
1 lb Herbs *
4 tb Butter
1 lg Onion, chopped
1 qt Water or vegetable stock
1 lg Potato, peeled and chopped
-into small cubes
Serves 4.
salt and pepper bread cubes for croutons
* at least 3 of these: chervil, watercress, spinach, sorrel (dandelion and
pimpernel for brave souls) Bitter herbs are traditionally eaten at Easter
in Christian countries as a sign of penitence. This Bavarian soup is served
on Easter Thursday, known as Maundy Thursday. Fresh chervil, easily
available in any German market, is usually the dominating flavor. This is a
delicate fresh-tasting soup for any time of the year.
You will need a large saucepan. Pick over and wash the herbs, stripping
the leaves from those stalks which are too woody. Chop the rest.
Melt the butter in a deep pan and fry the onion gently until transparent.
Add the herbs and sweat them for a moment before you pour in the water or
broth. Add the potato to the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, and then turn
down the heat. Simmer for 20 minutes. Mash the potato in the soup to
thicken it a little. Taste, and add salt and freshly milled pepper.
Serve with bread croutons fried in butter or bacon fat (goose fat is even
better). They should be so hot that they sizzle when they are added to the
hot soup at the table.

Source: FOODday, July 9, '91 From: Valerie Whittle
The Berberes are a nomadic tribe in northern Africa. Fenugreek is a
rectangle-shaped seed with a pleasantly bitter flavor. Look for it in
Indian and Middle Eastern grocery stores. I have used this marinade with
great success on tuna, pork tenderloin and sirloin steak.
* Juice of 1 lemon (1/4 cup)
Finely chop onion. Mince garlic and ginger. Place onions, garlic, ginger,
peppercorns, red pepper, coriander, cardamom, fenugreek, cinnamon, cloves,
allspice, salt and paprika in dry skillet and cook over medium heat 3 to 4
minutes, or until spices are lightly roasted and fragrant. Combine roasted
spice mixture, olive oil and lemon juice in blender and puree to smooth
paste. Spread paste on meat and marinate overnight. WARNING: A little of
this spicy mixture goes a long way!
Makes enough marinade for 1 1/2 pounds tuna, pork tenderloin and sirloin
steak.

Title: Biscotti All'anice
Categories: Cookies, Italian
Servings: 48
3 Eggs
2 ts Anise extract
3/4 c Sugar
1 pn Salt
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1/4 c Cornstarch
1/2 ts Baking powder
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Combine the eggs, extract, sugar and salt in a mixing
bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer and whip with a hand mixer set at
high speed or in a heavy duty mixer fitted with the whip. Continue whipping
until the mixture is very light and increased in volume, 6-7 minutes. While
the egg mixture is whipping, combine the flour, cornstarch and baking
powder and stir to mix. Remove the whipped eggs from the mixer and sift
over the flour mixture in three additions, folding it in after each
addition with a rubber spatula. The batter will lose most of its air and
become rather stiff. Pipe the batter, using a pastry bag with a 3/4-inch
opening, but no tube, onto a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper or
buttered wax paper. Pipe two logs about 1 1/2 inches wide and the length of
the pan. Bake the logs about 20 minutes, until they are well risen and
golden. Remove from oven and place logs on a cutting board to cool about
10 minutes. Using a sharp, serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally at
1/2-inch intervals. Place the biscotti cut side down on the pan and return
them to the oven for about 10-15 minutes, until they color lightly on the
cut surfaces. Cool the biscotti on the pans and store them in a tin between
layers of wax paper.

"Did Columbus and his crews sail to the new world eating these traditional
Ligurian biscotti? 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. Transfer the biscotti to racks to cool

Title: Biscotti Napoletani
Categories: Cookies, Italian
Servings: 60
2 c All-purpose flour
3/4 c Sugar
3/4 c Almonds, whole, unblanched
-finely ground
1/2 ts Bicarbonate of ammonia; -OR-
1/2 ts - Baking powder _AND_
1/2 ts - Baking soda
1/2 ts Cinnamon
3/4 c Almonds, whole, unblanched
1/3 c Honey
1/3 c Water
Be careful with the first baking of these biscotti. Even though they are
baked a second time after being cut, if they do not bake sufficiently the
first time, the biscotti will have a hard, heavy core.
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Combine all ingredients except honey and water in a
mixing bowl and stir a minute or 2 to mix. Add the honey and water and stir
until a firm dough forms. Remove dough from bowl and divide in half. Roll
each half into a log about 15 inches long. Place both logs, well apart, on
a jelly roll pan lined with parchment or buttered wax paper. Bake about 30
minutes, until well risen, firm and a dark golden color. Remove from oven,
cool logs slightly and place on a cutting board. Slice the logs diagonally
at 1/2-inch intervals. Return the cut biscotti to the pan, cut side down,
and bake an additional 15 minutes, until lightly colored and dry. Cool on
the pan. Store in a tin--they keep well.

Use only the large Asiatic oysters caught in the Indian Ocean, Black Sea,
or the Persian and Arabian gulfs.
Use the delicious white meat only. Discard the round white bone sometimes
discovered inside the shell -- or give it to some Persian. They seem to
prefer these bones to gold; they call them "pearls".

Title: Bougatsa
Categories: Desserts, Greek
Servings: 8
Karen Mintzias
1/2 lb Cream cheese
1 lb Fresh ricotta cheese
1 lb Fresh lg-curd cottage cheese
Granulated sugar
1/2 ts Grated nutmeg
18 Sheets commercial filo
1/2 c Butter (or more); melted
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese at high speed until light
and fluffy. Lower the speed and add the ricotta, cottage cheese, 1 1/2
tablespoons sugar, and the nutmeg. Beat for 1 minute at high speed, then
set aside while you prepare the filo.
Lay the filo flat on a table and keep covered with a damp towel over
waxed paper or plastic wrap. By stacking 4 sheets, form a base of 15 x 18
inches, brushing the top of each sheet with melted butter as you stack
them. Then lay 2 sheets at right angles over the center, using the "base"
as a diamond, not a square, brushing the center of each with butter. Divide
the filling into 3 parts and spread one part over the filo to form a 7-inch
square. Set the rest of the filling aside. Fold the top filo sheet over
the cheese and brush with butter, and continue folding the filo over the
cheese to make a square, brushing each time with butter. With a wide
spatula, lift the bougatsa and invert onto a cookie sheet. Brush the top
with butter and set aside.
Repeat with the remaining filo, filling until all 3 square pies are
folded. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the filo
puffs up and turns a golden chestnut color. Cut into small squares and
sprinkle with additional sugar. Serve piping hot. Source: "The Food of

1 1/2 c Milk and/or cream
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1/4 md Onion, chopped
3/4 md Onion, from above, ringed
1 md Green pepper, ringed
1 Pizza crust
Prepare your favorite pizza crust and get ready to bake, as a regular
pizza. Make sure that you have a fairly high ridge, as the there is a lot
of mixture, and it is fairly watery. Pugliese bread dough works very well
for a crust.
Beat eggs lightly. Add cheese, onion and salt and pepper. Mix gently.
Lightly brush olive oil over the pizza base. Pour mixture over the crust.
Place rings of green pepper over the top. You can also include onion
rings, mushrooms, or other favorite Pizza toppings. Color contrast helps
here, as the mixture is rather plain looking.
Bake at 450 degrees for about 15-20 mins, or when crust is brown and egg
mixture is set.
I got the recipe from a TV show about how to make Pizzas, on PBS. People
that won't eat Pizza or Eggs with even go for this!

briefly so that you won't get only one kind of vegetable in one
place.
(4) Add the tomatoes into the pan and saut' for a couple of minutes.
Crush the garlic and add to the tomatoes. Add the sugar, salt and
pepper to taste and simmer for another minute.

Title: Bubbies Chicken Soup
Categories: Soups, Chicken, Jewish
Servings: 8
Large Fowl; 6 lbs
1 Lg Kettle (10-12 qt.)
-Water; cover and bring
-to a boil
-Prepare
1 Lg Onion,
3 Celery stalks
1 Parsnip,
1 bn Carrot
1 bn Dill
1 bn Parsley; (a bunch of each).
Put the chicken in the pot and cover with water. When the soup comes to a
boil, skim off the top, add the veggies, turn down to a simmer.
Keep the lid askew, and season to taste. It's wonderful and freezes well.
Hint: put the dill and parsley in the mesh onion bag, to make for easier
removal.
Most would say to throw the veggies out, but I like to eat the carrots
and the onion. The chicken is great in sandwiches or salad. I love it hot
by itself, but you can put pieces in the soup when you serve. Add rice or
noodles (cooked elsewhere) and of course there's always matzo balls. Enjoy,
NOTE: If you can't find a fowl, use a Perdue Oven Roaster, cut up. A
butcher gave me this tip once and I now use it all the time. He cut it up
too.

Categories: British, Desserts
Servings: 4

4 tb Sugar
6 Egg yolks
2 tb Sherry
1 ts Rosewater; optional
4 oz Butter; 1/2 cup
1 c Heavy cream
Crystallized violets;for
-decoration, optional
"A recipe for Buttered Oranges can be found in Ann Blendcowe's cookery book
published in 1694; they are also sometimes referred to as Nell Gwynn's
Buttered Oranges, as she was believed to have served them to Charles II.
Buttered Oranges are delicious, and they look spectacular."
To prepare the Orange Shells: Hold the orange so the stalk (or navel) is at
the base and using a small knife cut off the top about two inches down.
Scoop out all the flesh, being carefully not to break the skin. This can be
done quite easily with a teaspoon. Using a pair of scissors, cut off the
stalk that remains in the bottom, wash the orange and set it aside (the top
can be discarded). Repeat this procedure with three more of the oranges.
Grate the peel off the remaining orange and then squeeze the juice from
this orange into the bowl. Place the flesh you have extracted from the
other oranges in the sieve and squeeze the juice in the same bowl. Mix the
juice with the sugar and egg yolks in a double boiler over low heat. Beat
with a wire whisk until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove the top of
the double boiler and cool in a bowl of cold water while you continue to
stir; then add the sherry and rosewater. Remove the bowl from the cold
water. Cut the butter into 1-inch cubes and mash it into the mixture piece
by piece. Add the orange peel. Whip 3/4 of the cream and fold it into the
mixture. Pour the mixture into the four orange shells and refrigerate for
at least 2 hours. Before serving, place three crystallized violets on the
top of each orange; whip the remaining cream and force it through a pastry
tube in a curly pattern around the top edges. SERVES:4

Title: Byzantine Dolmathes (Stuffed Grapeleaves)
Categories: Greek, Appetizers, Main dish
Servings: 60
Karen Mintzias
1 Jar grapeleaves (or fresh)
MMMMM-----------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
2 tb Oil
1 lb Ground beef or lamb
2 Onions; chopped
1 Garlic clove; pressed
2 c Water
1/2 c Tomato sauce
1 c Rice
2 tb Chopped mint
2 tb Chopped parsley
1/2 ts Salt
Pepper to taste
1/8 ts Cinnamon
1/2 c Currants
1/4 c Port wine (optional)
1/4 c Pine nuts or walnuts
2 c Water
1 Lemon (juice only)
MMMMM------------------------------SAUCE-----------------------------------
3 Eggs
2 Lemons (stained juice only)
1 c Hot broth
If using canned grape leaves, rinse off brine by floating leaves in a basin
of cold water. Prepare fresh vine leaves by pouring a cup of boiling water
over them in a bowl. Drain. Spread 5 or 6 leaves out at a time on a flat
surface. Lay leaf stem side up. Snip off stem with kitchen shears.
MAKE FILLING: Heat oil in large frying pan. Fry meat, onions and garlic
on medium heat for 5 minutes, mixing it as it cooks. Add water and
remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat to simmer and
cook 10 minutes, until water is absorbed. Set aside until cool enough to
handle. Put 1 teaspoon of filling near stem. Bring left side of leaf
towards center, then bring right side towards center. They will not always
meet. Pick up stem end of leaf, tucking in the filling. Roll away from
you. It will be an oblong roll like a sausage.
Line the bottom of a large skillet with 4 leaves. Place each roll so that
the tucked under end is on the bottom. Arrange each roll snugly, one next
to the other, until all the leaves (except 3), and filling are gone. Place
these leaves flat on top of rolls. Place a flat dish on top of rolls also
to prevent their unravelling during cooking.
Add water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat to simmer
and cook 45 minutes. When done, remove pot from fire. Make Egg and Lemon
Sauce and add to broth immediately or serve without sauce either cold as an
appetizer or as a hot entree.
EGG AND LEMON SAUCE: Beat eggs until thick and light yellow, at least 5
minutes, with an electric beater or 10 to 15 minutes by hand. Add juice
slowly, beating all the while. Mix 1 cup hot broth into beaten eggs,
stirring it in quickly with spoon (or wire whisk) so heat will not curdle
the eggs. Cook over very low heat until thickened.

1/2 c Rice, uncooked
1 md Onion, Diced
1 Green Pepper, Diced
2 Eggs
1 lg Head Cabbage
2 qt Tomato Juice
PREPARE THE CABBAGE LEAVES: The Old timers would freeze the head solid,
then peel the leaves from the head as they thawed. The best way I've found
is to 1)cut the core out with a knife, then put the hole-where-the-core-
was, side down in a steamer over boiling water. Let it sit for about 10
minutes and remove. Several layers of the outer leaves should be soft
enough to remove from the head. When you've removed as many as you can,
return the head to the steamer to soften more leaves. Take a sharp knife
and remove as much of the central vein as you can. FILLING: Mix all the
other ingredients together in a bowl. work it with your hands until the
eggs and other ingredients except the tomato juice are thoroughly mixed
into the meat. Now, take a glob of mixture and set it in the hollow of a
deveined leaf,with the end that was near the core towards you. Fold the end
nearest you about / way over the mix. Fold the left side over the mix and
then the right side. Roll about / turn away from you so that the "seam" is
on the bottom. Place in the pan seam side don and continue with the other
leaves.* When you've made the last cabbage roll,pour in the tomato juice to
cover. Bring to a boil then simmer for AT LEAST an hour. Serve in a bowl
with the juice, although these, like spaghetti are better the 2nd day.
*This is an ideal cabbage roll. 3/4 of them won't go together this
perfectly, so be ready to make adjustments when making the rolls.
VARIATIONS: Garlic is great, paprika and chili powder will work in the
stuffing, V-8 instead of tomato juice is pleasantly different.

Title: Calamaria Gemista (Stuffed Squid)
Categories: Seafood, Greek
Servings: 4
Karen Mintzias
3 lb Large fresh squid
1/2 c Olive oil
1 c Coarsely chopped onion
-(packed)
1/3 c Long-grain rice
1/4 c Pine nuts
2 lg Garlic cloves; chopped
1/4 c Currants
3/4 c Dry white or red wine
Salt & freshly ground pepper
-to taste
3/4 c Chopped fresh parsley
-(packed)
1/4 c Chopped fresh dill, packed
4 tb Chopped fresh mint
2 c Peeled, seeded tomatoes
-(chopped)
Wash and clean squid. Grasp the head just below the eyes, pull it off from
the rest of the body, and set it aside. Cut away the thin purplish
membrane on the outside of the tail section. Using your index finger,
scoop out and discard the guts and thin cartilage "icicle" on the inside of
the tail section. Rinse tail sections inside and out and set aside in a
colander to drain. Take the head section in one hand and put pressure with
your thumb and forefinger around the mouth and eyes, to squeeze them out.
Discard mouth and eyes.
Chop the squid tentacles and have them ready, as they will be used in the
stuffing.
In a large skillet, heat half the oilve oil and saute onion until wilted.
Add rice, tentacles, and pine nuts and saute over medium-low heat for 2 to
3 minutes. Add garlic and currants to rice and stir quickly with a woodent
spoon. Pour in 1/4 cup wine and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and
pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until liquid is almost
completely absorbed and rice is soft but only about half cooked, about 15
minutes. About 5 minutes before removing skillet from heat, add parsley,
dill and mint. Remove and let cool enough to handle.
Using a small teaspoon or a butter knife, carefully fill about three
quarters of each squid with the rice mixture. Use toothpicks to secure
closed. Pour remaining olive oil into a large stewing pot. Place squid
carefully in pot. Pour in remaining wine and enough water to cover. Bring
to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered for about 1-1/2 hours,
or until rice is cooked and squid fork-tender. Twenty minutes before
removing squid from heat, add chopped tomatoes to pot and adjust seasoning
with salt and pepper. Check throughout cooking to see if more water is
necessary so that mixture doesn't dry out. Serve squid hot or cold with a
simple green salad.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: This dish needs a delicate wine such as a Robola
Callinga or Santorini Boutari. Serve with wild greens (horta), 'horiatiki
salata (village salad), and a beautiful olive bread.

Categories: Italian, Desserts
Servings: 16
MMMMM-----------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
1 1/2 c Whole-milk ricotta cheese;
- well drained
3 tb Sugar
1 1/2 ts Cinnamon
1 1/2 c Milk chocolate;
- coarsely chopped
1/4 c Pistachio nuts;
- coarsely chopped
MMMMM------------------------------DOUGH-----------------------------------
1 c All-purpose flour
1 tb Sugar
1 tb Butter or lard
4 tb To 5 Tbl sweet Marsala wine
- or dry white wine
2 c Vegetable oil
Colored sprinkles
Confectioners' sugar
In a bowl, combine all the filling ingredients and mix well. Refreigerate,
covered, until ready to fill the cannoli shells.
To make the dough, place the flour in a bowl or food processor. Add the
butter or lard and sugar and mix with a fork, or pulse, until the mixture
resembles coarse meal. Slowly add the 1/4 cup of wine and shape the mixture
into a ball; add a little more wine if the dough appears too dry. It should
be soft but not sticky. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth,
about 10 minutes. Wrap the dough and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
Place the chilled dough on a floured work surface. Divide the dough in
half. Work with 1 piece of dough at a time; keep the remaining dough
refrigerated. Roll the dough out to a very thin long rectangle about 14
inches long and 3 inches wide, either by hand or using a pasta machine set
to the finest setting. Cut the dough into 3-inch squares. Place a cannoli
form diagnoally across 1 square. Roll the dough up around the form so the
points meet in the center. Seal the points with a little water. Continue
making cylinders until all the dough is used.
In an electric skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 375F. Fry the cannoli 3
or 4 at a time, turning them as they brown and blister, until golden brown
on all sides. Drain them on brown paper. When they are cool enough to
handle, carefully slide the cannoli off the forms.
To serve, use a long iced tea spoon or a pastry bag without a tip to fill
the cannoli with the ricotta cheese mixture. Dip the ends into colored
sprinkles, arrange them on a tray, and sprinkle confectioner's sugar over
the tops. Serve at once.
NOTE: If you prefer, you can fry the cannoli in a deep fryer. Be sure to
fill the cannoli just before serving - any sooner will make the shells
soggy.

Title: Cape Breton Oatcakes
Categories: Scottish, Breads

2 c Rolled oats
1 c Brown sugar;packed
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts -Salt
1 c Shortening
1/2 c -Cold water
MMMMM-------------------------SAVORY VARIATION------------------------------
2 c Oatmeal; scotch type*
1 c Flour;all purpose
2 ts Sugar, granulated
2 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts -Salt
1/3 c Shortening; or lard or
-bacon fat
1/4 c -Cold water
Anne's note: I prefer the savory version as it is closer to the original
Scottish version ; my grandmother in Nova Scotia uses 'pinhead' oatmeal, a
fine grind of oatmeal sold in the Maritimes, "Ogilivy's" is the most
popular brand there. 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
Angonish, Nova Scotia, prints a recipe for these regional favorites on its
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 shortening 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. Bake on lightly
greased baking sheets in 350F oven for 15 minutes or till lightly browned.
Transfer to racks to cool. MAKES: 60
Savory Variation: (to serve with cheese) Mix 2 cups Scotch-type oatmeal, 1
cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp each granulated sugar and baking powder, and
1/4 tsp salt. Work in 1/3 cup shortening, lard or bacon fat. Add 1/4 cup
cold water. Proceed as above.

Title: Cauliflower Soup (Minestra Di Cavalfiore)
Categories: Italian, Soups, Vegetables
Servings: 6
1 lg Head cauliflower
2 tb White or cider vinegar
1/4 c Olive oil
4 To 6 cloves garlic
1/4 ts To 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes
3 c Hot meat broth
Salt
1/3 c Chopped fresh parsley
6 oz Freshly grated pecorino
-cheese
"There's probably no sense in making this soup if you don't like
cauliflower. As with so much Italian food, this recipe uses a few basic
ingredients to showcase the star vegetable. A purist would even shudder at
the cheese! Make this soup as garlicky and spicy as you like but be sure
to serve lots of crusty Italian bread or bruschetta (toasted Italian bread
brushed with olive oil). When I want a soup with a bit more texture, I
remove 1 cup of the cooked cauliflower, puree it, and return it to the
remaining soup"
Break the cauliflower florets into small (1/2 inch) pieces. Trim the stem
end and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Wash the cauliflower in 2 quarts of cold
water blended with 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Drain and drop into a large
pot of boiling salted water. Boil for 4 minutes; drain and dry well.
Heat the olive oil in a soup pot; add the garlic and hot pepper, and cook
gently until the garlic is golden. Add the cauliflower and cook for 5
minutes, stirring to prevent it from browning. Add the hot broth, salt and
parsley and cook until the cauliflower is tender. Ladle into soup bowls
and sprinkle with a generous amount of cheese.
Serves 6.

Washed, and thinly sliced
1 c Beef stock
2 tb To 3 tb salad oil
Wine vinegar
Salt
1 pn Sugar
1 sm Onion, finely chopped
Put the freshly sliced celery root immediately into the stock which should
be flavored with 1 tablespoon each oil and vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the
sugar, and the chopped onion. Cook for about 20 minutes - until the celery
root is quite tender and the liquid has almost boiled away. Season the
celery root and beef stock with the remaining oil and a dash or two of wine
vinegar, as well as with salt if you wish.
Note: If the salad is to be served as an appetizer, mix in some coarsely
chopped walnut and garnish with a few walnut halves.
Nowadays, in this age of crudites, it may be more usual to substitute
grated uncooked celery root, marinated in oil and vinegar, and possibly
mixed with grated raw carrot.
Makes 2 - 3 cups.

Title: Cheese-Filled Phyllo Pastry (Cigarro Burek)
Categories: Middle east, Cheese, Appetizers
Servings: 40
6 oz Feta cheese, crumbled
4 oz Creamed cheese
1 Egg, beaten
2 tb Chopped fresh parsley
1 tb Chopped fresh dill, or 1 tsp
-dried
8 Sheets packaged phyllo dough
1/2 c Butter
Throughout the Middle East, bureks are made by folding buttered,
cheese-filled phyllo dough into little triangular shapes. Cigarro bureks
taste the same but, as the name implies, are rolled into cylindrical shapes
resembling small cigars. Bureks, frozen unbaked, can go directly from the
freezer into a preheated 375 F oven to make an instant hors d'oeuvre.
Makes 40
Defrost the phyllo dough and return the remainder to the freezer. Butter a
cookie sheet. Melt the butter and remove from the heat.
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Mix the feta and cream cheese with the egg and herbs and set aside.
Layout one sheet of phyllo dough on a counter. (Keep the remaining dough
covered with a slightly damp towel to prevent its drying out.) Brush the
sheet of dough with some melted butter. Cut it the short way into 5
strips, about 3x10 inches each. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling at
one end of each strip. Roll the strips into cylinders about 1/2 inch in
diameter. Continue until all of the dough has been cut, filled, and
rolled.
Arrange 2 to 3 cylinder per person on the cookie sheet and brush them with
more butter. (Freeze the rest of the cylinders, unbaked, for use at
another time.) Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cylinders are well
browned and very flaky.

Servings: 6
1/2 lb Fresh mozzarella cheese,
-1/2-inch dice
2 lb Ricotta cheese (or 2

1/4 lb Prosciutto, 1/4-inch dice
2 Eggs
1/2 c Freshly graterd Parmesan
-cheese
Salt and freshly ground
-black pepper
1/4 c Minced fresh parsley
14 Manicotti shells
3 c Tomato sauce (Meat or
-Marinara)
1/2 c Freshly grated Parmesan
-cheese
CHEESE FILLING
TO MAKE THE FILLING: combine all the filling ingredients and mix very
thoroughly.
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.
Lay the stuffed manicotti side by side in the buttered dish and surround
them with any manicotti shells you may not have sufficient stuffing
for.
Pour half the tomato sauce over the shells and sprinkle with 1/2 cup
Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated moderate oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Heat remaining tomato sauce to serve separately. Serve with additional
Parmesan Cheese. Makes 6 servings.

Title: Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
Categories: Pizza, Italian
Servings: 180
2 c Water
2 pk Yeast
1/2 c Oil, salad
1/4 c Olive oil
1 3/4 c Flour
3/4 c Corn meal
THEN ADD
3 c Flour
2 lb Mozzarella cheese, grated or
-sliced thinly
4 c Spagetti sauce*
2 lb Italian sausage, part
-ground, part cut up
1/2 lb Mushrooms, sliced
From: Larry Haftl
Put warm water and yeast in large mixing bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Then
blend in oils, corn meal and first 2 cups of flour. When well blended, mix
in the remaining 3 cups of flour, form into a ball and then knead for 5 to
10 minutes on a well floured board. This dough is a bit moist and the
initial flour on the board is absorbed might tend to cling to the board.
Don't worry, just knead as best as possible. After kneading, place on
lightly floured board or counter, cover with a large bowl and let dough
rise about 2 hours.
The dough makes about 180 square inches of pizza so use an appropriate
sized 2 inch deep pan (12 x 15 rectangular or 15 inch diameter round for
example.) Very lightly oil the pan with vegetable oil. After the dough
has risen, punch down and then arrange in the pan (this takes a bit of
doing as the oiled pan is a bit slippery.) Cover the bottom of the pan and
form a thin (1/4 inch thick) crust all the way up the sides of the pan. Let
the dough rise another 30 minutes. While its rising, grate your cheese and
brown your sausage (you can do both ahead of time if you want). Lay a nice
thick layer of cheese on the dough (critical as it keeps the juices from
getting through to the crust and turning it into a soggy mess). Then layer
on your sauce, sausage, and finally the mushrooms. Bake in a 375~ oven for
25 to 30 minutes (when edges of crust are a nice golden brown color).

"While Schwartz describes the name for this Israeli dish as slightly
pretentious, he notes that it won a cooking competition and found its way
onto the menus of five star hotels. He recommends serving it over a bed or
bulgur pilaf."
In large glass bow, combine chicken parts, orange juice, wine, zest, salt,
paprika and pepper. Let marinate in fridge for 2 hours. Lift chicken out of
marinade; pat dry and reserve chicken & marinate separately. In deep heavy
skillet or shallow pan large enough to hold chicken in one layer; heat oil
over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on all sides; transfer to plate. In
the same pan, cook onion over low heat until it starts to change colour.
Pour in marinade and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return chicken to pan and simmer, partially covered, basting the chicken
with pan juices and turning the pieces over very low heat for about 35
minutes; or until chicken juices run clear when flesh is pierced with a
sharp knife. Transfer chicken to warm serving platter and keep warm. Skim
off excess fat. Add olives to pan and boil rapidly over high heat until
glossy and starting to thicken. Pour over chicken and sprinkle with meat.

1 pk Fresh mushrooms.
Chicken DaVinci
chicken broth white wine
Saute Italian Sausage slices until done, remove from pan. In the grease
from the sausages, with olive oil added as necessary, saute the garlic and
green peppers. When peppers are about 1/2 done, add the onion. Cook until
veggies are barely tender, still a trifle crisp, but not browned. Remove
from pan and add to sausages. Add more oil, saute mushrooms until browned,
remove and add to rest of the stuff. Last step, saute the chicken until
done. Add everything else back into the pan, season generously with
rosemary and oregano. Throwing a little basil in won't hurt it either. If
the dish seems dry, add small amounts of either plain chicken broth or a
broth & white wine mix. If you've added too much liquid, then thicken it
with cornstarch.
I always serve this over Rotini, preferably the mixed colour pasta with
spinach and carrot rotini.
It's an adaptable formula that lets you use what you have available. If
I'm making it for just two of us I leave out the chicken and just do the
sausages & veggies. if I've made too much, mixing leftovers with left over
pasta and nuking it works for lunch, too. good luck!

seasoning.
Using flavorizer, inject breasts with butter mix. (The flavorizer can be
purchased at any kitchen supply store. It looks much like the needle a
doctor uses for injections, and it's use is also similar.)
Add remaining liquid to eggs and beat. In a separate bowl, combine
scallions, cracker crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Dip breasts in egg
mixture, then into cracker mixture. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes.

4 tb Salt
4 tb Butter
Wash the rice well in a colander then put it in a bowl with 2 tb salt and
lukewarm water to cover. Stir and let it soak overnight if you can, or at
least for 1 hour. The longer the better.
Fill a large saucepan with plenty of water, add 2 tb salt and bring to the
boil. Sprinkle the drained rice in gradually and let it boil vigourly for
about 4 to 8 minutes. The time depends upon the batch of rice but is ready
when if you bit on a grain of rice you consider it to be slightly
underdone, slightly harder than you would like to eat it. Drain quickly and
rinse in lukewarm water.
Put 2 tb butter and let it melt in the bottom of a pan, add all the rice
and stir. Cover with 2 more tb of butter. Stretch a clean cloth over the
top of the pan, put the lid on the top and lift the corners of the cloth
up over it.
Leave the rice to steam for 20 to 30 minutes over a very low flame. It
should be cooked and separate. The crisp, brown, golden crust that forms at
the bottom is considered a delicacy to be offered firs to guest. It is
called 'dig'. Remove it with a spatula and serve separately.

Categories: Chocolate, Candies, Scottish
Servings: 64
1 c Sugar
2/3 c Light corn syrup
1 1/2 c Half-and-half
1 1/2 Squares (1 oz each)
-unsweetened chocolate,
-melted
1 1/2 ts Vanilla
1 pn Salt
You should never try to make toffee (or any other cooked candy, for that
matter) in damp weather, because the candy will not harden properly.
Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup of cream in a large saucepan set
over moderate heat. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
Insert a candy thermometer, reduce the heat to low, and cook the syrup,
stirring frequently, until the thermometer registers 238F. Blend in another
1/2 cup of the cream, which will cause the temperature to drop, and
continue to cook and stir until the thermometer reaches 236 F or until a
bit of the hot toffee dropped into a little cold water forms a soft,
pliable ball. Mix in the remaining 1/2 cup cream and the melted chocolate.
Cook the toffee, stirring constantly lest it scorch. Cook toffee until the
mixture becomes quite thick: A drop of it should firm up quickly in cold
water. (NOTE: Even though the temperature of the toffee may not exceed
230F, if it firms in cold water, remove the pan from the heat at once.)
Quickly mix in the vanilla and salt, then pour the toffee into a
well-buttered 8-by-8-by-2-inch pan. Cool the toffee completely, then cut it
into 1-inch squares. Wrap each one in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Makes 64

4 pk Active dry yeast
1/2 ts Sugar
1/2 c -Hot water, just above body

4 c All-purpose flour;
-plus extra for kneading
Make the flavoring addition first. Combine the semolina flour, sugar,
cinnamon, anise, coriander, and cloves in a bowl and add the finely grated
zests of the oranges and tangerines. Squeeze some of the oranges and
tangerines. Squeeze some of the oranges and tangerines to obtain 1 1/4
cups juice. Use half this juice to soak the currants and raisins for a
minimum of 1 hour, preferably overnight. Put the remaining juice in a pan
with the olive oil. Heat until almost boiling. Pour this into a bowl with
the semolina and spice mixture and stir. Cover and leave overnight until
needed.
Next day, combine the dried yeast with the sugar and hot water in a cup.
Put the flour in a bowl, making a well in the center. Pour in the yeast
mixture. Squeeze 2/3 cup more orange and tangerine juice, warm it, nad
add. Work to a smooth dough, adding more water and warm juice if
necessary. Put the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and leave
to rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size - about an hour.
Punch down the dough in a bowl. Combine the drained currants and raisins
with the semolina and spice mixture and, working with your hands, combine
with the dough. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 10
minutes, adding more flour if the dough is sticky.
Divide the dough into three equal pieces. Oil 3 loaf pans, each 1-1/2
quart capacity. Shape each piece to fit the length of the pan and fit them
in, so the corners are well filled. Cover with a cloth and leave to rise
in a warm place until almost double in size - another hour.
Bake in an oven preheated to 350 F for 1 hour and 10 minutes or more; the
loaves should be rich brown color and make a hollow sound when the unmolded
bread is thumped on the bottom. Leave on a rack to cool. The bread will
keep for at least 3 weeks.

Title: Corned Tongue
Categories: Beef, Jewish
Servings: 6
1 Tongue, beef
Water, as needed
1 Salt, kosher; as needed
1 Egg, in shell
1/2 c Sugar, brown, dark
2 Bay leaf; crumbled
1/2 ts Allspice, whole; bruised
1/2 ts Peppercorns; bruised
2 ts Coriander seeds; bruised
1 ts Mustard seeds; bruised
2 Garlic clove; peeled
Select a ceramic, glass or enameled crock or bowl large enough to hold both
the tongue and enough brine to cover the tongue by two or more inches. Be
sure the container will fit in the refrigerator. To determine the brine
quantity needed, enclose the tongue in a plastic bag and run cold water
into the container to cover the bagged meat by two to three inches. Remove
the tongue. Stir kosher salt gradually into the water, dissolving
thoroughly each time, until an egg will float in it. (This will run about a
cup and a half of salt.) Remove the egg once it's served its purpose and
pour the brine into a pot. Stir all the other ingredients into the brine
and bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Let brine cool
completely. Remove the tongue from the plastic bag and prick it well all
over with a skewer or larding needle. Return to the crock. Once the brine
has cooled, pour it over the tongue. Cover with Saran, then add a plate
(weighted, if need be) to keep the meat well under the surface. Cover the
whole crock with Saran and refrigerate for 10 days to 2 1/2 weeks (allow
three days a pound curing time). Turn the meat every few days, and be sure
to keep it always sunk in the brine. To cook: Put the tongue in a pot with
water to cover by several inches, two or three carrots coarsely chopped, a
whole onion or two (peeled), a few tablespoons of vinegar, and simmer,
partly covered, until the meat is very tender. Remove from the stock, and
slit the skin and peel it away. Serve hot or cold.

Title: Cornish Pasties
Categories: British
Servings: 6
4 c Flour
1 pn Salt
1 c Lard
1 c Cold water approximately
FILLING:
8 Ox cubed beef stew meat
2 md Potatoes peeled & diced
1 lg Finely chopped onion
Pastry:
Salt and pepper to taste Approximately 2 teaspoon cornstarch
PASTRY:
Combine flour and salt in a large bowl and cut in lard until mixture
resembles fine bread crumbs. Add water slowly, a little at a time, until
mixture binds into a soft dough. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate
at least an hour, a day or two is even better. There will be pastry left
over which can be frozen, or make a pie while the oven is on for the
pasties.
FILLING:
Mix together half the beef, half the onion, and one potato for each
filling. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle mixture with 1
teaspoon of the cornstarch. When ready to make pasties, remove pastry from
the refrigerator and prepare filling. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out
pastry as for pie crust and cut out two large circles 10 inches in
diameter. Place filling in center. Brush edges of pastry with water and
fold one half of circle over to meet the other, creating a half-moon shape.
Press edges of pastry together lightly. Turn edges over about half an inch
and crimp so it won't open during baking. Make two half-inch slits near the
top of each pastry and place on a piece of baking parchment on a baking
sheet. Brush the pasties with milk and bake 15-20 minutes. Reduce heat to
375 degrees for about another 45 minutes, or until pasties are golden
brown.

Title: Cottage Cheese Vareniki
Categories: Pasta, Ukrainian
Servings: 6
2 c Flour
1 ts Salt
1 lb Cottage cheese (may use
-low-fat)
1 Egg, lightly beaten
1/3 c Milk
Melted butter
Bread crumbs, browned in
-butter
Sour cream (optional)
Fried bacon, crumbled
-(optional)
COTTAGE-CHEESE FILLING:
1 lb Dry cottage cheese
1 Egg, lightly beaten
Salt
Source: The Good Cook - Pasta, 1980 (Traditional Ukrainian Cookery) Serves:
6
NOODLES:
Dough: First mix flour with the salt. Combine the egg, milk and cottage
cheese in blender. Stir combination into the flour and salt and knead to
make a soft dough. Cover and let the dough stand for 10 minutes.
Filling: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the egg, and season to
taste with salt. The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape in a
spoon.
Roll the dough quite thin on a floured board. Cut rounds with a large
biscuit cutter or with the rim of a glass. For speedier work, the dough may
be cut into 2 - 2 1/2 inch squares. Put a round or square of dough on the
palm of your hand. Place a spoonful of the cheese filling on the dough,
fold it over to form a half circle or triangle, and press the edges
together with your fingers. The edges should be free of filling. Be sure
that the edges are sealed well to prevent the filling from running out.
Place the vareniki on a floured board or a kitchen towel (don't crowd
them), and cover with a kitchen towel to prevent drying.
Drop a few vareniki at a time into a large quantity of rapidly boiling
salted (optional) water. Do not attempt to cook too many at a time.
Stir very gently with a wooden spoon to separate the vareniki and to
prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Continue boiling for 3
4 minutes. Vareniki are ready when they are well puffed. Remove them to a
colander and drain thoroughly. Place in a deep dish, sprinkle generously
with melted butter, and toss very gently to coat them evenly with butter.
Serve in a large dish without piling or crowding them. Top with bread
crumbs. The traditional accompaniment is sour cream or crumbled bacon, or
both.
An additional egg or egg yolk, or some thick sour cream, may be used in the
filling if the cottage cheese is very dry.

1/3 c Raisins
2 tb Grappa or brandy
2 lg Eggs
A 15-ounce container
-whole-milk ricotta
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1 ts Vanilla
1 ts Freshly grated orange zest
2 oz Fine-quality bittersweet
-(not unsweetened)
-chocolate,
Chopped fine
An egg wash made by
-beating 1 large egg yolk
-with 1 teaspoon water
Confectioners' sugar for

-desired
Roll out the larger disk of dough 1/8 inch thick on a floured surface, fit
it into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable fluted rim, and crimp the edge.
Chill the shell for 30 minutes.
In a small bowl combine the raisins and the grappa and let the raisins
macerate for 30 minutes. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the ricotta,
the granulated sugar, the vanilla, and the zest, stir in the chocolate and
the raisin mixture, and pour the filling into the shell.
Roll out the remaining disk of dough 1/8 inch thick on a floured surface,
cut it into 1/2-inch-wide strips with a fluted pastry wheel, and arrange
some of the strips, about 1 inch apart, over the filling. (If desired,
arrange the remaining strips, about 1 inch apart, perpendicular to the
others, forming a lattice, but do not weave the strips.) Trim all the
strips, press them against the inside of the shell, and brush them with the
egg wash. Bake the tart in the middle of a preheated 350 degree oven for 50
minutes, or until the pastry is golden and a knife inserted in the center
of the filling comes out clean, and let it cool in the pan on a rack for 10
minutes. Remove the rim, let the tart cool completely on the rack, and dust
it with the confectioners' sugar.

Title: Crostata Di Fragole
Categories: Desserts, Italian
Servings: 10
MMMMM--------------------PASTA FROLLA ALLE MANDORLE-------------------------
MMMMM----------------------SWEET DOUGH W/ALMONDS---------------------------
1 1/4 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Ground blanched almonds
1/4 c Sugar
1 pn Salt
5 tb Cold unsalted butter
1 Egg
MMMMM-----------------------FOR THE STRAWBERRIES----------------------------
3 pt Ripe strawberries
2 tb Sugar
1 ts Lemon juice
1/2 c Strawberry jam
Confectioners' sugar
- for finishing
Use a sharp knife to cut the crostata to keep the berries from toppling and
lessening the elegant symmetry of the dessert.
FOR THE PASTA FROLLA: Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Rub in the butter until it is absorbed. Make sure the mixture remains cool
and powdery and does not become pasty. Beat the egg and stir in with a
fork. Continue stirring until the dough holds together, then knead it
smooth, briefly. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at
least 1 hour, or until firm.
FOR THE STRAWBERRIES: Rinse and hull berries. Choose the best ones to
border the tart (draw a 9-inch circle on wax paper and arrange berries
inside to see how many you need). Slice remaining berries into a bowl; add
sugar and lemon juice. Toss to combine and cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the sliced and whole berries until ready to assemble the
crostata. Preheat oven to 350F and set a rack in the middle level. To form
tart base, roll three-quarters of the dough on a floured surface to a
9-inch disk. Transfer to a cookie sheet lined with parchment or buttered
wax paper. Place a 9-inch disk, like a spring- form bottom, on dough and
trim to a 9-inch diameter. Pierce the dough all over with a fork at
1/2-inch intervals. Combine the scraps with the remaining dough and roll it
into a thin cylinder, about 30-inches long. Moisten the edge of the base
with water and arrange the cylinder of dough on it, to form sides on the
tart shell. Press the cylinder with fingertip to make it adhere and mark a
series of diagonal lines on it with the back of a small knife. Bake about
25 minutes, until the dough is an even golden color and feels firm when
pressed with fingertip. Cool the tart shell on a rack on the pan. Place
cooled shell on a platter. Spread bottom evenly with jam. Arrange a row of
the whole strawberries inside the edge. Drain sliced berries well; pile in
center. Dust with sugar.

Title: Crusty Persian Rice with Cinnamon and Pistachios
Categories: Rice, Persian
Servings: 8
2 1/2 c Basmati rice (18 ounces)
2 tb Salt (plus 1/4 teaspoon)
1/8 ts Saffron threads
1 sm Orange
6 tb Butter
1 ts Sugar
1/4 ts Cinnamon
1/2 c Shelled unsalted pistachios
-(2 1/2 ounces)
1/2 c Golden raisins
2 tb Vegetable oil
Put rice in medium bowl with water to cover. Drain and repeat procedure 5
times. Return rice to the bowl and gently fill the bowl with cold running
water. Keep the water running gently into the bowl until the liquid runs
clear. Drain, return rice to the bowl with water to cover, and let stand
for at least 6 hours. (Can let stand at room temperature overnight.)
Bring 4 quarts of water with 2 tablespoons salt to boil in a soup kettle.
Keep the water boiling while slowly adding the drained rice. Simmer for 5
minutes; rinse with cold running water and drain thoroughly. Remove 1 cup
of rice and stir in the saffron threads; set aside. Put the plain rice in
a large bowl. Peel a 3- by 1-inch strip of zest from the orange and cut
into 1/8-inch dice. Bring 1 cup of water to boil in a small saucepan, add
the zest, and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain the zest and pat dry. Heat 1
tablespoon butter in a small skillet and saute the zest for 15 seconds; add
the sugar and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in cinnamon, pistachios, raisins,
and 1/4 teaspoon salt; saute, stirring continuously to coat with
butter-sugar mixture. Stir zest mixture into the plain rice.
Melt the remaining butter. Coat the bottom and sides of a heavy, lidded,
3-quart saucepan (preferably cast iron) with 1 tablespoon of the melted
butter mixed with the oil. Heat the coated pan until hot. Remove from the
heat and spread half of the zested rice over the bottom of the pan,
pressing down well with a spoon. Cover with a mound of the remaining
zested rice. Sprinkle the saffron rice over the top. Use the handle of a
wooden spoon to make a hole in the center of the rice deep enough to reach
the bottom of the pan. Make 2 or 3 additional holes in the rice to allow
steam to escape. Drizzle rice with remaining 4 tablespoons of melted
butter. Cook rice for 6 minutes over low heat, uncovered. Wrap lid in a
linen towel, securing towel ends under or around lid handle. Cover the pot
with the towel-wrapped lid and steam over low heat for 40 to 60 minutes,
until a crisp golden crust forms on the bottom of the rice. Remove pan from
heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
SERVING: Spoon soft, fluffy rice onto a platter. Break the bottom crust
into pieces and arrange around the fluffy rice. Serve immediately

Categories: Octopus, Italian
Servings: 6
2 Octopus (about 1 1/2 pounds
-each)
1/4 c Olive oil
5 Cloves garlic, crushed
1 Bay leaf
1/2 ts Cumin seeds
Salt
1 sm Green pepper, chopped
rosemary leaves and parsley
Cut out the eyes and mouth of the octopus. Remove the ink sac and internal
bone. Cut off the tough points in the tentacles. Put each octopus on a
board and beat them well to break the fibers and make the meat more tender.
Wash them in running water until they are very white; do not dry but put
them in an earthen- ware dish and season with oil, flavored with garlic,
bay leaf and cumin seeds. Cover the dish tightly with a sheet of waxed
paper or foil tied around the top with string. Put the dish over a very low
heat between 1 and 2 hours, according to the size of the octopus. When they
are tender, drain them, season with additional oil, salt, green pepper,
rosemary leaves and parsley. Serve in a tureen.

It doesn't make reference to it in the text, but in the pictures of both
these dishes, it shows one or two largish octopi garnished with reseattes
of baby octopi tentacles. I imagine you'd do quite well using the 'baby'
octopi like those I see sold around here in the supermarkets, or even with

1 ts Baking powder
12 tb Lard or butter
2 Eggs
1/3 c Milk
MMMMM---------------------EGG WASH FOR ASSEMBLING--------------------------
1 Egg
1 pn Salt
Confectioners' sugar
The name of these filled pastries is Cucidati, which is Sicilian for
Buccellati, or "little bracelets."
FOR THE FILLING: Stem the figs and quarter them. Place in a bowl and cover
with boiling water; steep 10 minutes. Drain and chop coarsely in the food
processor. Combine with remaining ingredients. To prepare in advance, cover
tightly with plastic wrap and keep at a cool room temperature or in the
refrigerator up to 3 days.
FOR THE DOUGH: Combine the flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl and
stir to mix. Rub in the lard or butter finely, leaving the mixture powdery.
Beat the eggs and milk to combine in a small bowl and stir into the flour
mixture to form a dough. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface
and knead lightly a few times. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill. Divide
the dough into 12 pieces and roll each into a cylinder about 12 inches
long. Flour the surface and the dough lightly and roll it into a rectangle
about 14 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place a line of the filling down
the center of each rectangle, using 1/12 of the filling for each piece of
dough. Bring up the dough around the filling and pinch to seal. Turn the
filled sausage of dough over so that the seam is on the bottom and cut it
into 3 1/2- to 4-inch lengths. Using a sharp paring knife or single-edge
razor blade, make a series of diagonal slashes in the top of each little
sausage. Pull and twist gently, holding the sausage at each end to open the
slashes. Transfer the Cucidati as they are formed to paper- lined cookie
sheets, curving them into wide horseshoe shapes. Make an egg wash by
beating the egg and salt together with a fork until it is loose. Paint each
shape with the egg wash. Bake the Cucidati in a preheated 350F oven about
20 minutes, or until they are a light golden color. Cool, dust with
confectioners' sugar and store the Cucidati in tins, between layers of wax
paper.

1 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Water
MMMMM-----------------------------COUSCOUS----------------------------------
1 c Couscous, not instant
3 c Water
MMMMM---------------------FLAVORING & 2ND STEAMING--------------------------
1 tb Water
1/2 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Shelled green pistachios
- unsalted and very green
1 ts Almond extract
1 ts Cinnamon
1/4 c Almond oil
-=OR=- Mild vegetable oil
MMMMM----------------------------FINISHING---------------------------------

Couscous is normally a savory dish found in Morocco. This unusual dessert
version is the specialty of a small convent in Sicily.
FIRST PREPARE THE PAN for steaming the couscous: For the sealing dough, mix
the flour and water together in a bowl and scrape onto a floured work
surface. Knead briefly to form a rough, sticky dough, adding a tablespoon
or 2 of flour if necessary. Roll into a rope as long as the circumference
of the bottom pan and apply the dough to the rim of the pan. Add water to
the pan so that the water is below the bottom of the couscousiere or
colander and press the couscousiere into place. Bring the water to a boil
on high heat, until steam is escaping freely through the perforations, then
lower to a simmer, so that the steam escapes very gently. While the water
is coming to a boil, prepare the couscous to be cooked: Place the grain in
a bowl and add the water. Swish the water through the grain with the
fingers of one hand splayed apart, "raking" through it. Tilt the bowl and
drain away excess water. Set aside for 5 minutes. Line the couscousiere
with a dampened napkin or cheesecloth and add the grain. Cover and steam 15
minutes. While the grain is cooking, prepare the flavoring. Half fill a
saucepan with water and add the pistachios. Bring to a boil; drain in a
strainer. Pour the pistachios onto a towel, fold the towel over them and
rub to loosen skins. Separate pistachios from skins, going over them
carefully. Combine the freshly blanched pistachios, extract and cinnamon in
a food processor bowl and process for 2-3 minutes, until very finely ground
and starting to become pasty. Add the oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, and
continue processing mixture to a smooth paste, stopping the machine and
scraping the inside of the bowl 3-or-4 times. Reserve pistachio paste.
After the couscous has steamed 15 minutes, remove it from the couscousiere
in the cheesecloth and put it in a large, non-reactive roasting pan. Spread
it out with a fork and let cool. Combine the salt and water and work it
into the cooled couscous, raking it through with 1 hand. Add the pistachio
paste in 3-or-4 additions, working it in by rubbing it and the couscous
together with the fingertips. Return the water in the bottom pan to a
simmer, and line the couscousiere again with the dampened cheesecloth. Add
the seasoned couscous to the couscousiere, cover and steam 15 minutes.
Remove the couscous to the roasting pan, spread out with a fork, without
compressing the mixture, and leave uncovered until cool. To finish the
couscous, bring the sugar and water to a boil, stirring to dissolve all
sugar granules, and cool the syrup. Work the cooled couscous between the
palms of the hands again to separate the grains and toss in the syrup in
5-or-6 additions, fluffing the couscous with a fork. Allow the couscous to
dry uncovered, several hours, in a cool place, fluffing it with a fork
occasionally, until all the grains are separate. For advance preparation,
cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to several days. To
serve, fluff up with a fork so the grains separate well and mound the
couscous on a platter. Sprinkle the couscous evenly with the grated
chocolate, then the confectioners' sugar. Decorate with no more than 5-or-6
pieces of the candied fruit.

Title: Cuttlefish With Spinach
Categories: Greek, Seafood, Main dish
Servings: 6
Karen Mintzias
750 g Cuttlefish or squid
1/3 c Olive oil
Water
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
750 g Spinach
1 c Chopped spring onions
1/2 Lemon (juice only)
Cuttlefish (soupies) as distinct from squid (kalamaria) are preferred for
this dish, though either may be used. Cleaning cuttlefish can be a rather
messy business as these marine molluscs have an ink sac from which the
pigment sepia is obtained. The sac ruptures easily and is usually ruptured
by the time you purchase them, so don't be put off by their colour - the
ink rinses off easily.
Rinse cuttlefish or squid and remove head, attached tentacles and
intestines; discard intestines. Pull out cuttle bone or fine transparent
bone if squid is being prepared. Pull off fine skin and rinse. Remove
eyes and beak from head, leave head attached to tentacles and pull or rub
off skin from tentacles, or as much skin as will easily come off.
Slice hood or body into strips. If squid are large, slice head and
tentacles - cuttlefish tentacles are usually small and these are left
intact. Place prepared cuttlefish or squid in pan and set on medium heat.
Cover and cook for 15 minutes in its own juice. Add half the oil, just
enough water to cover, and salt and pepper to taste, cover and simmer
gently for 45 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile trim spinach and wash thoroughly. Drain well and chop leaves and
stalks coarsely.
Heat remaining oil in a separate pan and gently fry spring onion until
soft, add spinach and stir over heat until it wilts. Add spinach mixture
to cuttlefish or squid with lemon juice and adjust seasonings with salt and
pepper. Cover and simmer for further 10-15 minutes. Serve hot.

Title: Czechoslovakian Potato Dumplings
Categories: Potatoes, Czech
Servings: 1
6 md Potatoes
1 Egg yolk
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/2 All-purpose flour
These are *not* fluffy dumplings as in chicken and dumplings. They are a
"sturdy" potato dumpling served as a side dish to meat, and usually with a
sweet sauerkraut/carraway/honey dish as the vegetable.
* * *
Boil peeled potatoes in small quantity of water. Drain potatoes
thoroughly. Rice potatoes through hand held masher/ricer. Let potatoes
cool. On floured board, gradually add flour working mixture into dough
with hands. Shape potato mixture into a long roll and cut into 10 slices.
Drop dumplings into boiling water and boil gently about 5 minutes.
Drain dumplings on paper towel. The dumplings are fully cooked after the
boiling process, but traditionally, Czechoslovakians then melt butter in a
heavy frying pan, and fry the dumplings until they are lightly browned on
all sides.

Title: Dad's Kaluski
Categories: Polish, Potatoes
Servings: 6
4 c Flour
4 c Mashed Potatoes
1 tb Salt
4 Eggs
MMMMM---------------------------ONION SAUCE--------------------------------
1 lg Onion
4 tb Butter
Salt
Pepper
This recipe is approximate. One of the controlling factors is the amount
of leftover mashed potatoes you have----- Besides, Dad never did write this
one down!
KALUSKI:
Blend flour and salt.
Make a well with the flour. Mix in the eggs, thoroughly, one at a time.
Add the mashed potatoes.
You should have a dough that is not quite as stiff as a noodle dough. Add a
little water, if necessary, to thin it out.
Roll the dough into long strands, about 1 inch in diameter. Cut into
sections about 1 1/2 inches long.
Gently add to a large pot of boiling water. Do not add too many, nor add
them too fast. You want to keep the water boiling. They are down when
they start to float. Remove the floaters to a bowl, and continue till you
finish off the dough pieces.
ONION SAUCE:
Melt butter in pan. Add coarsely sliced/diced onion. Saute to taste. I
like them just transparent, Dad liked them browned, almost burnt. Salt and
pepper, to taste.
SERVE:
You've got a few options, here---
A: Pour Onion Sauce over the whole batch
B: Serve each separately, for the whiners
who don't like onions. Plain butter
works out, just fine.
C: As a side dish, they are great with
meat gravy
LEFTOVERS:
Should you be fortunate to have some left over, just place in the
refrigerator. They are ok, cold, but just reheat in a frying pan. They
heat more evenly if you slice the kaluski into somewhat smaller pieces.

Title: Dampfnudle (Yeast Dumplings)
Categories: German
Servings: 4
500 g Flour (4 1/2 cups less 1
-Tbsp)
1/4 l Milk (1 cup plus 1 Tbsp)
40 g [fresh] yeast (1.4 oz)
1 ds Salt
150 g Butter OR, better yet,
-clarified butter (2/3 cup)
1 To 2 eggs
Heat the milk a bit and then dissolve the yeast in it. Make a well in the
flour, and pour the yeast mixture into it. Let rest for 1/2 hour. Then,
add the remaining milk and the salt, and knead well. Vigorously beat the
dough until it forms bubbles, then cover, and in a warm spot, let rest for
1 hour. Cut off fist size pieces, and - on a floured pastry board - let
these pieces rise one more time, for another 15 minutes.
In a wide pot, melt the fat, and then add warm, salted water to a depth of
about 3/4 inch. Add the dumplings, arranged in one layer, touching each
other. Put a lid on the pot, and additionally seal the edges - where the
lid rests on the pot - with damp cloths in order to keep the steam inside.
Bake at low heat. The dumplings should be done in about 20 minutes, and
have the highly desirable 'Schuepet' (hard, brown crust) on the bottom.
'Dampfnudle' may be served sour, with sauerkraut, or sweet, with stewed
fruit or vanilla sauce.
Variation: DAMPFNUDLE IN DER SCHLEIFERBRUEH* (Steamed Dumplings in Thin
Gravy):
Prepare as for regular 'Dampfnudle', but prior to arranging them in the
pot, thoroughly dust the bottom of each dumpling with flour. During the
steaming process, the flour and water will form a whitish gravy that is
called 'Schleiferbrueh'.
[*Note: In the olden days, scissors-and-knife grinders would go from house
to house, wheeling a little cart with a round, treadle-operated whetstone.
The bottom of the whetstone would be in a bit of water, which - with the
treadle turning the stone - would keep the grinding surface wet. As the
grinder sharpened knives and scissors, a bit of the whetstone would wear
off, and this somewhat cloudy water was the original application of the
term 'Schleiferbrueh'. K.B.]

Title: Damson Cheese (Zwetschgenmus)
Categories: German
Servings: 6
5 lb Plums
1 c Water
Pit the damsons and mince them (or put them through the meat grinder or
puree in the blender or food processor), retaining as much of the juice as
possible. Add a little water to the minced damsons and the juice and
slowly bring to a boil' reduce the fruit pulp over low heat for several
hours, but do not stir or the damson pulp is quite likely to scorch on the
bottom.
When the pulp has thickened somewhat, it will have to be stirred -
continuously - for several hours, until it is literally thick enough that a
spoon will stand up in it. It may sputter and bubble during this stage.
(In former days, it was usual for several families to convene in the
village washhouse for a cooperatove 'Zwetschgenmus' cooking session, with
story-telling and other impromptu entertainments to give encouragement to
the stirrers.)
When the damson cheese has sufficiently thickened, transfer it to stoneware
crocks and bake in the oven until a dry crust has formed on top. The
damson cheese will keep better if a piece of parchment paper that has been
soaked in rum is placed on top of this crust before the crock is sealed
with plastic wrap (formerly a piece of linen or parchment was used). A good
imported product is available on the American market under the name of
'Pflaumenmus' (pronounced Flaumenmoose).

Title: Danish Pastry - Dansk Wienerbrod
Categories: Danish, Desserts
Servings: 6
4 c Flour
1 ts Salt
1/4 c Sugar
2 1/4 oz Yeast cakes
1 c Milk
1 Egg
1 1/2 c Butter
Sift flour and mix with sugar and salt. Mix yeast with a little cold milk.
Add this, the rest of the milk and the beaten egg to flour and sugar. Beat
well until smooth with a wooden spoon.
Roll out the dough on baking board to 1 finger thickness. Spread small
pieces of butter on 2/3. of the dough. The butter must have same
consistency as the dough; if it is too soft it melts into the dough. Fold
together into three layers like folding a napkin, first the part without
butter. Roll out and fold again. Repeat three or four times.
Leave in cold place 1/2 hour. This is the dough with which many different
kinds of Danish pastry is made. When pastry is shaped, place on baking
sheet and leave in cold place to rise for 15-20 min., then brush with egg
white and bake in a fast oven until golden brown.
Cocks' Combs (Hanekamme). Roll out dough to finger thickness and spread
with a paste made of equal parts of butter and sugar, then cut into square
pieces 4" x 4". Place filling across middle and fold over. Press the edges
firmly together and make 4-5 deep slashes in this side. Let rise, brush
with egg white and spread with chopped almonds and sugar.
Spandauers. Roll our dough, spread with paste and cut as above. Place
filling in middle. Fold corners to the center and press down. After baking
drop 1 teaspoon of jelly in the center and spread with frosting of
confectioner's sugar and water.
Chocolate Buns (Cremeboller). Roll out dough, spread with paste and cut as
above. Place filling of vanilla creme in middle, fold corners to center,
forming dough as a ball and place upside down on baking sheet. After baking
spread with frosting of con- fectioner's sugar, cocoa and water.
As filling may be used apple sauce, jelly, prunes, vanilla creme or almond
paste:
Vanilla Creme. Mix 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 table- spoon flour and
3/4 cup milk and cook until thick. Take off, add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
extract and cool stirring occasionally.
Almond Paste. Cream 1/2 cup butter, add 1/4 lb. ground, blanched almonds
and 1/2 cup sugar and well until smooth. Another kind of almond paste
without butter is made of: 1/4 ]b. almonds, 1/2 cup sugar and 3 egg whites.
Work well together until smooth.

16 oz Grape leaves
3/4 c Extra virgin olive oil
3 Onions; more if desired
(shredded or minced finely)
1 3/4 c Rice
1 Lemon, juiced
- or more, to taste
Dill; very finely chopped
1 3/4 c -Hot water
3/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
Sautee the onion with half the oil. Add the rice and let cook for a few
minutes. Add the dill, the hot water and salt and pepper. Boil for about 5
minutes. Let it cool.
Steam the grape leaves and rinse with plenty of water in a collander.
Wrap the rice mixture with the grape leaves. This is the most difficult and
time consuming part, although after you are through it a couple of times
you enjoy it the most. It is better if two people work on it
simultaneously, talking, joking etc. You want to make them small in size
(about 1-2 inches.) Do not hesitate to cut big leaves in half. Discard the
central stem of these leaves and if you can reduce (with a sharp knife) any
other tough stems it would be good. You want to wrap the rice very tightly.
You place the rice in one end, fold from the short end and the two sides
and then roll while pushing the rice downwards to pack it really tight. You
have to do it a couple of times to understand. If they are not tightly
packed they will unroll later. Also be careful to wrap totally, do not
leave any holes.
You arrange the dolmadakia in a casserole, tightly. Make more than one
layers. Add the lemon juice, the rest of the olive oil and 1 1/2 cups of
hot water. Cover them with a plate or something to keep them in place. Let
them simmer for 35 minutes.
Serve then cold, with strained yogurt or taramosalata. Enjoy.

Title: Dolmades Yialandzi (Stuffed Grapevine Leaves)
Categories: Greek, Appetizers, Vegetarian
Servings: 60
Karen Mintzias
3/4 c Olive oil
1/2 sm Onion; chopped
8 Scallions; chopped fine
2 lg Garlic cloves; chopped
1 c Raw long-grain rice
1 bn Fresh dill; chopped
1/2 bn Fresh parsley; chopped
1 1/2 Lemons (or more), juice only
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1 c Hot water
1 lb Jar grapevine leaves
Heat the 1/2 cup oil in a skillet. Add the onion and scallions and saute
for about 5 minutes, until soft and transparent. Add the garlic and cook
for a few minutes, then add the rice, dill, parsley, lemon juice, salt,
pepper, and remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Stir well, then add the hot
water. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
Meanwhile, carefully remove the grapevine leaves from the jar, leaving the
brine in the jar. Wash grapevine leaves thoroughly and drain, then with a
sharp knife cut the heavy stems from the leaves. (If using fresh grapevine
leaves use the same procedure, parboiling leaves for 5 minutes when not
tender, then drain.) Line an enameled pan with a few heavy grapevine
leaves and set aside. To stuff a grapevine leaf, put it on your working
surface rough side up and stem end near you, and place a teaspoonful of the
rice mixture near the stem end. Using both hands, fold the part of the
leaf near you up and over the filling. Then fold the right side of the
leaf over the filling, then the left side, and roll tightly and back away
from you and toward the pointed end of leaf. Place the "dolma", seam side
down, in the prepared pan. Continue stuffing grapevine leaves until the
mixture has been used. (If any grapevine leaves remain, replace in the
reserved brine for future use.) Place an inverted plate on the dolmades,
then add enough water to cover the dolmades (about 1 to 1-1/2 cups). Bring
to a boil, then cover the pan, lower the heat, and simmer as slowly as
possible for 1-1/4 hours, then taste one to see if the rice is tender, and
continue cooking slowly if necessary. Cool, then chill. Serve cold, as an
appetizer or as an entree.
Note: An important variation, particularly in Macedonia and Thrace: add a
few tablespoons of raisins and pine nuts to the filling when adding the
rice. Also, you may vary the size of dolmades as you wish by adding 1-1/2
teaspoons of the filling. However, be consistent to allow them to cook at
the same rate. They may be stored in the refrigerator for a week or so.

Title: Dolmas (Greek Stuffed Grape Leaves)
Categories: Greek, Rice, Appetizers
Servings: 50
1 c Long-grain white rice
1 c Plus 3 Tbsp olive oil
1 c Finely chopped yellow onion
3 Green onions, including
-green tops, finely chopped
1/4 c Minced fresh parsley
2 tb Minced fresh mint
1/2 c Pine nuts
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground allspice
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper
16 oz Jar grape leaves
Servings: makes about 50 dolmas
Several stems of fresh parsley About 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
About 1 cup homemade chicken stock, canned chicken broth, or water, heated
Additional freshly squeezed lemon juice Grated or minced lemon zest for
garnish
Wash and drain rice. Heat 3 Tbsp of the olive oil in a skillet over
medium-high heat. Add the yellow onion and saute until soft but not brown,
about 5 minutes. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the drained rice, 1/2
cup of the remaining olive oil, green onions, parsley, pine nuts, cinnamon,
allspice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Rinse the grape leaves under running cold water to removes as much brine as
possible, pat dry, and stack on a plate. Place 1 leaf at a time, shiny
side down, on a flat work surface. Cut off and discard the tough stem end.
Spoon about 1 Tbsp of the rice mixture in the center near the base of the
leaf. Fold the stem end over to cover the filling, fold both side inward
lengthwise and then tightly roll leaf toward pointed tip end to form a
compact packet. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Pour about 2 Tbsp. of the remaining olive oil in the bottom of a large pot
and strew with a layer of parsley stems to prevent grape leaves from
sticking. Arrange the stuffed leaves, seam side down and almost touching,
on top of the parsley, making as many layers as necessary. Drizzle the
remaining 5 Tbsp olive oil, the lemon juice, and 1/2 cup stock, broth, or
water over the leaves. Top with a heat-resistant plate and weight with a
heavy can to keep leaves from unwinding during cooking. Cover the pot,
bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low, and cook until rice is
tender, about 1 hour. During cooking, add a little heated liquid as needed
to keep dolmas moist. Remove from the heat and cool in the pot.
Sprinkle with lemon juice to taste, garnish with lemon zest, and serve at
room temperature.

Title: Domates Yemistes (Stuffed Tomatoes)
Categories: Greek, Main dish
Servings: 6
Karen Mintzias
12 Firm, ripe tomatoes
Salt
Granulated sugar
3 tb Olive oil or butter
1 md Onion; finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves; chopped
1/4 c Chopped fresh parsley
1/2 lb Lean lamb or veal, ground
1/4 c Dry white wine
1/4 c Water
6 tb Raw long-grain white rice
Tomato juice (if necessary)
Freshly ground pepper
2 Sprigs fresh mint or basil
1 pn Grated nutmeg
Wash the tomatoes, then turn each stem-side down, and with a sharp knife
carefully cut the end now up to make an opening or "cap" being careful not
to detach the cap entirely. With a small spoon, carefully, without
breaking the outer skin of the tomatoes, scoop the pulp into a bowl. Place
the tomato shells in a baking-serving dish large enough to support them
touching. Sprinkle the inside of the shells with salt and sugar.
Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add
the onions. Cook over moderate heat until soft and transparent, then add
the garlic and parsley, and blend. Add the meat, mashing with a fork, then
add the wine and water, cover, and simmer for a few minutes. Add the rice
and tomato pulp and stir. (Tomato juice may be added if necessary, since
the mixture should provide enough liquid for the rice to absorb.) Cover the
skillet and simmer about 7 minutes, then add salt, pepper, mint or basil,
and nutmeg. Taste for seasoning. Remove from heat, and fill the tomatoes
up about two-thirds of the way with the stuffing and liquid. Cover with
tomato caps, brush with oil. Bake in a moderate oven (350 F) until the
rice is tender (approximately 50 minutes to 1 hour), basting inside the
tomatoes with liquid released by them. Serve warm.
Note: For Tomatoes stuffed with Rice, use 1 1/4 cups raw long-grain white
rice instead of the meat and rice in the above recipe, eliminate the wine,
and include with the other seasonings a few tablespoons each of black
raisins and 2 tablespoons pine nuts, if desired. Rice in baked stuffed
dishes takes much longer to cook then over a burner. Stuffed green
peppers, also popular in Greece, can be made the same way with an entirely
different flavor.

Title: Dr. Oetker's Rouladen
Categories: Beef, German
Servings: 4
8 Beef, thin slices
1 ts Cornstarch
Mustard, prepared
1 ts Paprika
4 oz Bacon, uncooked; diced
1 c Tomato puree
1/2 c Onion; diced
1 tb Lemon juice
8 tb Oil
Sour cream; (optional)
1 c ;Water, boiling
Creme fraiche; (optional)
Cut thin slices of roasting beef to around 4 x 6 inches off a roast. It is
best to cut the meat WITH the grain of the meat, so the slices will hold
together. Pound the slices lightly to flatten and tenderize them. Brush
lightly with prepared mustard. Then sprinkle the slices with salt and
freshly ground black pepper to taste. In a small bowl mix together the
diced bacon and diced onions. Spread the mixture on the meat slices. Then,
starting at the narrow end, roll up the meat slices and secure them with
skewers, toothpicks, or string.
Heat the oil in a heavy pot. Brown the rolls well in the oil. Add about 1
cup of boiling water to the pot VERY CAREFULLY! Cover the meat and braise
gently until done, about 2 to 2-1/2 hours. Add water as needed to keep
level fairly constant. When the meat is cooked, remove the rolls to a hot
plate and thicken the gravy with corn starch and season to taste. The sauce
may be seasoned with paprika, tomato puree, lemon juice, sour cream, and/or
creme fraiche.
Serve this with a potato or pasta dish.

Title: Dry Salt Cure for a 14-Lb Ham
Categories: Pork, British
Servings: 6
1 Ham (English hams weigh
-roughly 14 to 20 lbs)
1 oz Brown sugar
1/2 oz Saltpeter (from the
-drugstore)
2 lb Rough salt
The same method may be used for bacon. A leg of pork severed from the
whole side is called a ham. When the leg is left attached to the side, and
severed only after the cure, it is called a gammon.
You will need a salting pan. Leave the ham unskinned. Rub in the sugar
and the saltpeter first, paying particular attention to the bone ends. Then
rub on half the salt and put the ham to rest on slats in a slating trough
(best if it has a channel for the brine to drain out). Rub in the rest of
the salt at the end of a week. Leave the ham to take the salt for a total
of 3 weeks (depending on the size of the ham), turning regularly. Then hang
the ham to dry in a draft of warm air for a day or two. If you would like
to smoke your own, you will need a barrel smoker or a smoking shed. Light
the fire with kindling first, then feed it with beech, birch, or oak
sawdust. Smoke over the open end of a smoker barrel. Keep the fire
smoldering constantly - it is not good for the cure to allow changes in
temperature.
Twenty-four hours in the smoke shoudl suffice for a ham; 6 hours is enough
for a side of bacon. York hams are then hung to mature for 2 to 3 months
in a tgemperature and humidity controlled room.
Time: 3 weeks plus.

visit us from Holland, she would expect it with her coffee. Once, when i
went to Holland, for a visit, my aunt served me some, but it just didn't
taste as good as the one at Oma's house. I was told my aunt's cake was
store bought. My mother passed Oma's recipe on to me, and now i carry on
the tradition."

Title: Eggplant Parmesian
Categories: Vegetables, Italian
Servings: 2
1 lg Eggplant ;sliced short side
1 pk Shredded Mozzerella Cheese
Parmesian Cheese ;(optional)
1 Jar Tomato Sauce (Ragu
-Today's Recipe Mushroom I
-use)
Oil ;enough for frying
-slices
Flavored Bread Crumbs ;
-enough to cover all egg-
-plant slices
You are going to cut, bread and fry the eggplant first.
Peel the dark skin off the eggplant. Slice into medium slices slices (about
1/2 in thick) on the smaller side. Pour Flavored Bread crumbs into a plate
or into a dish for coating the eggplant patties. . Beat 3 eggs for dipping
into eggplant. Heat up oil in a large pan, enough to fry the eggplant. Dip
eggplant into egg and coat it with egg thoroughly. Then coat it with bread
crumbs. Put them on to a plate when finished till you have enough to fry in
your frying pan. Place the eggplant in the frying pan if you think it is
hot enough to fry properly. Keep it frying till both sides are brown. Make
sure you flip eggplant over so all sides will brown. When finished frying a
batch place fried patties onto a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb
the oil. Pre heat the oven to 350~.
After all the frying is done. Coat a pan with some oil (about a 9in square
by 1 1/2 in deep disposable aluminum pan). Pour a little bit tomato sauce
on the bottom of the pan. Place a layer of the eggplant patties on top.
Cover that with sauce and a little bit of mozzerella cheese. Place another
layer on top of that, repeat. When done put sauce and a lot of cheese at
the very top add parmesian cheese to the top if desired or available.
Cover the top of pan with foil. Place in the oven for 45 minutes. Stick
fork in middle to see if it is hot all the way through. If not hot enough
cook another 10 minutes. Leave it cooking with the foil off the top for the
last 10 minutes of the cooking.
Let it settle before serving for about 5 minutes. This taste good or better
reheated. Can be reheated in Microwaveable dish.

3 md Eggplants (1 lb ea.)
1/4 c Olive oil
1/3 c Chopped scallions
-=OR=- Shallots
1 Garlic clove; sliced (opt.)
1/4 c Chopped fresh parsley
2 tb Chopped fresh fennel or dill
1/2 ts Allspice; more if necessary
1/4 c Dry white wine
2 tb Tomato paste; MIXED WITH:
1/2 c Water
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1/2 c Bread crumbs
Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise. With a small knife, cut away the
eggplant flesh from the skin without breaking the skin (if planning to
stuff the shells, leave 1/4-inch of the flesh with the skin as a firm base)
and set the shells aside. Dice the eggplant flesh and push through the
medium blade of a meat grinder as quickly as possible to avoid
discoloration. (Or the eggplant may be pureed in a blender or food
processor.)
Heat the oil in a frying pan and saute the scallions and garlic. Add the
parsley, fennel, allspice, wine, and the diluted tomato paste. Stir in the
eggplant pulp, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Taste to adjust seasonings. Add the bread crumbs to absorb excess liquid.
Stuff the eggplant shells, if desired, and place in an oiled baking dish.
Bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 35 minutes. Serve warm - or
particularly good - cold.

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 2. Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, if
using the small ones and take out the flesh, being careful not to damage
the skin. Mince the pulp well and place in colander after sprinkling with
coarse(sea or kosher) salt for 30 minutes. Do the same with the eggplant
shells and put them on a paper towel to drain. 3. Heat 4 tablespoons of
olive oil in a large skillet. Add the well drained eggplant pulp and cook
until lightly browned. 4. Add the tomatoes and cook the mixture over high
heat until the liquid is evaporated. 5. Add the other ingredients (Note:I
do not use the tuna fish or the olives if I'm making this as a side
dish;but they would be necessary if this is to be a main dish entree.) Cook
the mixture for 2 more minutes. Season with care as the anchovies and
capers are quite strongly flavored. 6. Fill the eggplant halves with the
mixture. there will probably be leftover ingredients to be placed in a
baking dish. Drizzle the leftover olive oil on top and bake for 1 hour.

towels. Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat oil in heavy large
skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft, about

With machine running, add just enough water through feed tube to form
ball. Remove from processor. Cover dough and let rest for 30 minutes.
(Pasta dough can also be made by hand.) Cut dough into 4 pieces.
Flatten 1 piece (keep remainder covered), then fold in thirds. Turn pasta
machine to widest setting and run dough through several times until smooth
and velvety, folding before each run and dusting with flour if sticky.
Adjust machine to next narrower setting. Run dough through machine without
folding. Repeat, narrowing rollers after each run, until pasta is 1/16 to
1/8-inch thick, dusting with flour as necessary. Line baking sheets with
towels. Set sheet of dough on work surface. Place about 1-1/2 teaspoons
filling at 2-inch intervals along sheet. Roll second piece of dough. Set

firm to bite, about 4 minutes for fresh. Remove with slotted spoon; drain.
Divide among plates. Spoon sauce over. Garnish with basil. Serve
immediately. Serves 6. DO AHEAD HINTS: * Ravioli can be prepared one day
ahead and refrigerated or one month ahead, wrapped tightly and frozen. Do
not thaw before cooking. * Sauce can be prepared one day ahead;
refrigerate. EVEN EASIER: * Purchase sheets of fresh pasta for the ravioli

Title: Elizabethan Orange Tart
Categories: Desserts, British, Pies
Servings: 8
1 10" shortcrust pastry case*
2 Thin-skinned oranges
Honey and sugar
Stick cinnamon
Ground cinnamon
Allspice
1/4 pt Double cream
1/4 lb Fromage blanc (or see note)
2 tb Ground almonds
*Note: Shortcrust pastry case should be thoroughly blind-baked. Low-fat
soft cheese may be substituted for fromage blanc.
Measure 2 tablespoons sugar into a bowl and stir in 4 tablespoons boiling
water. Add a cinnamon stick and 1/4 pint cold water. Scrub the oranges,
flute the peel lightly with a citrus zester and slice the fruit thinly,
discarding the ends. Remove pips (seeds), put the orange slices into the
sweetened water and leave to soak overnight. Next day, turn the oranges and
their liquid into a saucepan. Cover and cook very gently for about 30
minutes. Carefully turn the slices once they cook. Lift the cooked orange
slices from the pan one at a time, shaking to let the syrup drip back into
the pan, and put them on a rack to drain and become cold. Remove the
cinnamon stick, then boil the syrup until reduced to a few sticky
spoonfuls. Cool slightly then stir in the 1 tablespoon honey. Assemble the
tart just before serving. First sprinkle the ground almonds over the base
of the cold pastry shell. Sweeten and flavour the soft cheese by stirring
into it 1 teaspoon or so of honey and a little each of ground cinnamon and
allspice. Whip the cream, fold in the sweetened and flavoured cheese, then
spoon this mixture into the pastry shell. Arrange the orange slices on top,
overlapping them slightly in decorative circles, and glaze with the gently
re-warmed syrup.

1 lb Smoked sausage
3 tb Butter or margarine
Salt and pepper
Peel, cook, and mash potatoes. At the same time, chop kale finely, cook

of the cooking water to make a thick slurry. When done, add to the mashed
potatoes. Add cooked sausage. Add butter. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix
well and serve piping hot. For a more festive apprearance, put into a
cassarole dish, garnish with slices of Oude Gouda (Old Gouda) or a medium
cheddar and sprinkle with paprika. Place in medium oven until cheese melts
and begins to brown. Then serve or take to your pitch-in.
Don't sell the kohl crops short. Try collards and savoy. They are still
doing quite well in the garden despite 15 F. temperatures lately. Savoy is
a joy to eat at Yule. The frost seems to sweeten and intensify the flavor.
Our annual homemade sauerkraut is making its presence known by the merry
burbling of the water-seal crocks in the utility room. This is the best
time of the year to make kraut. It is cool and the fermentation takes a
longer time, leaving the salted sour cabbage as crisp as the bright windy
day in October it was put up.
We are lucky to have antique apple trees. Three bushels of mixed russets
are slumbering in the garage and will last until spring. Fie on the Granny
Smiths and Red Delicious! A Golden Russet or Ashmeads Kernel, peeled and
sliced, served with a wedge of sharp cheddar at your side on a winter
evening while reading a good book is one of lifes great luxuries.
Rereading this post makes me hungry. No I'm not going to crack open a

20 minutes, or until dark golden brown, stirring occasionally with a wooden
spoon.
Transfer to a food processor or blender container and add the bread. With
the machine running, add about two thirds of the lemon juice and 2
tablespoons of the olive oil, and process until thick and smooth. Add a
few tablespoons of water if the puree seems too thick, and add salt,
pepper, olive oil, and/or lemon juice to taste.
Serve on a platter, sprinkled with the remaining parsley and olive oil and

COOKING Feta and Ricotta Cheese Fondue
Melt the butter in a heavy 8-inch skillet or a 1 quart saucepan over
low-heat. Add the feta and ricotta cheese, and pepper. Cook, stirring
constantly, and mashing the cheeses slightly, until they soften and begin
to bubble - about 5 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice, and garnish with the parsley if desired. Serve at
once; as the fondue cools, it loses flavor. VARIATIONS: Substitute Fontina
cheese for the Feta Cheese or you can substitute cottage cheese for the
ricotta. You can make both of these substitutions.

6 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
1 pn Of ground dried chili
Fettuccine con Crema di Aglio e Peperoncino From the Williams-Sonoma
Kitchen Library Pasta Cookbook by Lorenza de Medici "Whole roasted garlic
heads have such a wonderful fragrance and flavor that you might want to
bake a few extra, for guests to squeeze onto crusty chunks of bread. You
can also make a similar onion sauce: roast 3 small brown-skinned onions,
using the same method as for the garlic heads, peel them and puree with the
oil in a food processor. Both versions of the California cuisine-inspired
sauce are also excellent at room temperature."
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Wrap each head of garlic separately in
aluminum foil. Place the parcels on a rack in the center of the oven and
bake for 45 minutes. Remove the garlic heads from the oven and set aside to
cool slightly so that they can be handled. In a large pot bring 6 qt salted
water to a boil. Add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook until al
dente. Meanwhile, unwrap the garlic heads, separate the cloves and squeeze
the garlic cloves from their papery sheaths into a hot serving bowl. Add
the olive oil and season to taste with salt. Sprinkle with the chili and
blend together well with a fork. Drain the pasta and transfer it to the

1 lb Fresh Fettucine noodles
1/2 c Light cream (or diluted
-Creme Fraiche),
1 c Freshly grated parmesan
-cheese,
1 Pinch of nutmeg,
1 Pinch of fresh parsley
-(optional),
1 Little pepper (optional).
Put water on to boil for the noodles. As the water comes to a boil, start
preparing the sauce. In a separate pan melt unsalted (sweet) butter
over very low heat - DO NOT LET IT BROWN!!
Once the butter has melted, stir into the butter: light cream (or the
diluted Creme Fraiche), freshly grated parmesan cheese. Beat this with a
whisk to keep the sauce from clumping. Once the sauce is smooth, season
the sauce with a pinch of nutmeg, a pinch of fresh parsley (optional), and
a little pepper (optional).
Turn the sauce down to a simmer and add fresh Fettucine noodles (or a batch
of homemade noodles) to the boiling water. When the noodles are cooked
al dente, drain and toss gently with sauce. Serve immediately.
The order of these steps is important, as it is better to make the sauce
wait for the noodles than to make the noodles wait for the sauce.

Servings: 2
3 sl Bacon, cut into 1" pieces
3 tb Onion, diced
4 Garlic cloves, crushed
3/4 c White wine
3/4 c Half-and-half
1/2 c Romano cheese, grated
1 Egg yolk
2 x Servings fettucini, cooked
Chopped parsley for garnish
In an 10" pan, fry the bacon until the fatty portions are just beginning to
turn clear. Add the onion, and saute over high heat until the onion is
translucent. Drain off the fat, remove the bacon and onion, and set aside.
Add the garlic to the pan, and deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up
any bacon leavings. Simmer for about 1 minute. Add the half-and-half to
the pan, and wait until the sauce come back up to the simmer (with
practice, this can be done so that the half-and-half does not curdle in the
wine. If it does curdle, that's okay - the taste will still be there, it
just won't look as nice). Add the Romano cheese (parmesan is acceptable,
but the taste will be a little more pungent), and stir until smooth, about
30 seconds. At this point, the sauce may be removed from the heat and held
for about 15 minutes.
To serve, bring the sauce back up to temperature. Add the cooked fettucini
to the pan and toss to coat the pasta. Add the bacon, onion and raw egg
yolk, and toss to mix thoroughly. Dish onto two plates, garnish with a bit
of chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

rum over each layer. Butter-Cream Filling: For butter-cream filling, boil
sugar and water to 238°F, (soft ball stage). Beat egg yolks until very
light and fluffy, 5 to 10 minutes. While still beating the egg yolks, add
the sugar syrup in a thin stream. Beat 5 minutes more, until very thick
and doupled in bulk. Slowly beat in the rum. Beat the butter in a small
bowl until soft and light. Beat butter into the egg mixture a little at a
time. Continue beating until thick. Chill until mixture can be spread. If
mixture is too soft, beat in additional butter. PRALINE TOPPING: While
butter-cream is cooking, spread 2 T butter thickly in a 9 X 13-inch baking
pan for praline topping. Then in a 1-quart saucepan, boil sugar an water
to 238°F, (soft ball stage). Stir in almonds; cook until mixture reaches
310°F, or until syrup carmelizes. Pour syrup into prepared baking pan.
When cool, break up praline and grind it in a blender for a few seconds.
APRICOT GLAZE: Finally heat jam and press through a strainer or sieve to
make apricot glaze. CAKE ASSEMBLY: To assemble cake, place bottom layer
of cake on cake plate and spread with half of the butter cream. Repeat with
second layer. Place third layer on top. Spread top and sides of cake with
apricot glaze. Press praline powder onto glaze. Any remianing butter cream
can be used to decorate the top of the cake.

Title: Frankfurter Gruene Sauce (Frankfurt Green Sauce)
Categories: Sauces, German, Eggs
Servings: 2
3 c Mixed herbs (parsley,
-chives, chervil, borage,
-dill,
Spinach greens, watercress,
-tarragon, basil,
Pimpernel)
1 c Sour cream or plain yogurt
2 sm Onions. coarsely chopped
2 tb Cream
2 tb Mayonnaise
3/4 c Low-fat cottage cheese
-(pressed through a fine
-sieve
In order to smooth curds)
Ground white pepper
Small pinch of sugar
1 To 2 eggs, hardboiled and
-coarsely chopped
Choose all or merely a selection of the herbs and greens mentioned in the
list of ingredients (using the tarragon more sparingly than the others.)
Wash them thoroughly and drain on paper towels. Coarsely chop the greens;
loosely packed, they should amount to about 3 cups altogether. Take 2 cups
of the greens, combine with the sour cream or yogurt and the onions, and
puree in the blender or processor; add a few tablespoons of cream if it
doesn't seem to be fluid enough. The rest of the greens should just be
finely chopped and stirred in a mixing bowl with the puree in order to give
the sauce a little bite. Stir in as much mayonnaise and low-fat cottage
cheese as it takes to produce a smooth, creamy sauce.
Season with salt, pepper, and a very little sugar. The hardboiled eggs can
either be mixed in with the sauce or strewn over it as a garnish.
Makes 2 - 3 cups.

Categories: Desserts, French, Pies
Servings: 8
1 (9-in) pre-cooked tart shell
2 lb Apples
-preferably Golden Delicious
1/2 Lemon, juiced
2 tb Sugar (or more if needed)
3/4 c Apricot jam
1/4 c Calvados
-=OR=- Dark Rum or Cognac
2 tb Butter
PEEL, QUARTER and core the apples. Slice 3 apples into thin slices, toss
with lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of the sugar and set aside. Make
applesauce with the rest of the apples: Chop coarsely, place in a saucepan
with 2-3 tablespoons of water, cover and cook over a medium-low heat until
very soft. Warm the jam, then force it through a sieve (fruit bits can be
returned to the jar). Add 1/4 cup of strained jam to applesauce, together
with the Calvados and butter. Continue cooking, if needed, until fairly
thick. Taste and add sugar if needed. It should taste sweet, but not like
jam. Spread the applesauce over the tart shell, then layer the drained
apple slices in concentric circles over it. Bake about 30 minutes, until
the apples are tender. Warm remaining apricot jam, adding a tablespoon or
so of water if needed, to paint over the tart. Best served warm.

Title: French Apple Charlotte
Categories: Desserts, French
Servings: 8
10 To 12 apples
3/4 c Sugar
1 1/2 c Unsalted butter
12 sl Bread, crusts removed
This takes a while to prepare, but it isn't difficult and it has a most
distinctive and delicious flavor. (A charlotte mold is round a 3-1/4 -4
inches high, but a 2 quart souffle dish will do as well.)
Peel and core apples and cut them into thin slices. Melt the sugar and 5
tbsp of the butter in a large frying pan. Add apples, stir until coated
with butter, cover and cook over low heat until tender. Uncover and
continue to simmer until water formed is evaporated. You should now have a
thick apple puree. Cut bread into pieces and completely cover the bottom
and sides of the mold. (easy when bread is cut into 1 inch strips for
sides, and triangles for the bottom.) Then brown the triangle pieces in
some of the butter and place in bottom of mold. Dip strips of bread in
melted butter and line sides. Pour hot puree into mold and cover with more
trips of bread dipped in melted butter. Set the mold on a baking sheet and
place in a 400 F oven. Bake 40-50 minutes, or until bread on top is a deep
golden brown. Remove from oven and let stand 20 minutes. Slip a knife
between mold and bread and turn on to a platter. Serve hot with cream or
apricot rum sauce. (1/2 cup apricot jam warmed up with 1/4 cup rum.) Serves
8.

Title: French Onion Soup
Categories: Soups, French
Servings: 6
3 tb Butter
1 tb Light olive oil
2 1/2 lb Thinly sliced onions
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Sugar *
2 tb Flour
2 1/2 qt Beef stock **
5 tb Cognac
1 c Dry white French vermouth
* Sugar helps the onions brown. ** At least 2 cups of the beef stock should
be hot. This is certainly one of the all-time favorites. The canned and
packaged onion soups I've tried have been very good, and the only way to
better them is for you to have your own beautiful beef stock. However,
bought onion soup will benefit from the flavor additions suggested here.
TIMING: For most delicious results, you want a slow simmer for 2 3/4 to 3
hours.
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT SUGGESTED:
A food processor with slicing blade or a hand slicer is useful for the
onions; a heavy-bottomed 3-quart saucepan with cover for onion cooking and
simmering.
Browning the onions - 40 minutes. Set the saucepan over moderate heat with
the butter and oil; when the butter has melt- ed, stir in the onions, cover
the pan, and cook slowly until tender and translucent, about 10 minutes.
Blend in the salt and sugar, raise heat to moderately high, and let the
onions brown, stirring frequently until they are dark walnut color, 25 to
30 minutes.
Simmering the soup. Sprinkle in the flour and cook slowly, stirring, for
another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool a moment, then whisk in
2 cups of hot stock. When well blended, bring to the simmer, adding the
rest of the stock, the Cognac or brandy, and the vermouth. Cover loosely,
and simmer very slowly 1 1/2 hours, adding a little water if the liquid
reduces too much. Correct seasoning.
Ahead-of-time note: May be prepared in advance; chill uncovered, then cover
and refrigerate or freeze.
Serving. Serve the soup as it is, accompanying it with French bread and a
bowl of grated Swiss or Parmesan cheese.

Peel the onions, quarter them and slice thickly.
Wipe the chicken inside and out with a cloth wrung out in boiling water.
Cut into 10 serving pieces: 2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, 2 wings and 2 breasts
halved. Season each piece on both sides. Melt the butter in a sauteuse or
large frying pan over low heat and when foaming add the chicken and colour
to the golden stage on both sides. Remove from the pan with a slotted
spoon, cover and keep hot. Add the onions to the fats in the pan, sea- son,
increase the heat to medium, mix well and colour to the golden stage,
moving them around with a wooden spatula to prevent sticking and colouring
too fast.

remainder. Cook for a few moments, stirring constantly, reduce the heat to
low, add the vinegar, stir well and arrange the chicken on top. Cover and
cook slowly for about 40 minutes until the chicken is tender and the
moisture from the onions has made the sauce. During this time shake the pan

Karen Mintzias
6 c Milk
1 c Fine semolina
3 1/2 tb Cornstarch
3 c Granulated sugar
1/4 ts Salt
6 Eggs
1 ts Vanilla extract (optional)
1 tb Butter
12 Commercial filo sheets
3/4 c Butter; melted & hot
1 c Water
1 Lemon or orange (peel only)
2 tb Fine brandy or Cognac (opt.)
In a heavy-bottomed, 3-quart saucepan, bring the milk gradually to a boil;
do not allow it to scorch. Meanwhile, sift the semolina, cornstarch, 1 cup
of the sugar, and salt together and gradually add to the boiling milk,
stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook slowly over medium heat
until the mixture thickens and comes to a full boil, then remove from the
heat.
Beat the eggs on high speed of an electric mixer. Gradually add 1/2 cup
sugar and continue beating until very thick and fluffy, about 10 minutes,
then add the vanilla. Stirring constantly, add eggs to the hot pudding.
Partially cover the pan and allow to cool. Butter a 9 x 12 x 3-inch baking
pan and cover the bottom with 7 sheets of the filo, brushing butter
generously between each and making sure that a few sheets come up the pan
sides. Pour the custard into the pan over the filo. Cover with the 5
remaining sheets, brushing butter between each and on the surface. 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. Store in the refrigerator.

Finely chopped onion greens
1 Pancake, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Egg white (for sealing

The liquid the smoked meat has been cooked in makes a suitable broth.
Combine the flour, eggs, salt, and water into a pasta dough. Knead well,
and immediately roll out thin on a floured pastry board. Cut the dough
into 5-inch squares.
Make the stuffing by mixing the smoked meat, sauteed cubed roll, onion
greens, and diced pancake. Add salt and pepper to taste. Put one heaping
tablespoon of this stuffing on each square of dough. Brush the edges of
the dough with egg white, and fold each square over, into a triangle. With
your fingers, press the edges of the dough which should seal immediately.
Put the 'Maultaschen' into barely cooking salted water, and let them simmer
for 5 minutes, turning over the pasta once.
Carefully remove 'Maultaschen' from water, as they are very fragile.
Immediately transfer them to the hot broth, and serve.

-Smith
1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter
1 c All purpose flour
1 c Milk
1 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Grated nutmeg
Confectioners sugar
Preheat oven to 475. Peel, core, and very thinly slice the apples, you
should have approximately 1-1/2 cups. Melt 2 Tbsp. of the butter over
medium low heat in a small fry pan, and saute the apples until they are
just tender, about 3 minutes. Keep warm while preparing the batter. Place
a 9 or 10 inch cast iron skillet or very heavy ovenproof pan in the oven to
heat for at least 5 minutes, the pan has to be very hot for this recipe to
really work properly. When it is well heated, add the remaining 2 Tbsp. of
butter to melt and put skillet back in oven; the butter should be very hot
but not brown when you add the apples and batter. While the skillet is
heating, place the flour, milk, vanilla, salt and nutmeg in a blender, and
whiz until smooth. Remove the skillet from the oven, quickly arrange the
warm apple slices over the melted butter, and pour the batter evenly over
all. Bake for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 375 and bake 10 minutes longer.
The pancake will puff and climb up the sides of the pan. Sprinkle with
confectioner's sugar, then cut in wedges and serve with maple syrup and
crisp bacon. NOTE: If you do not use apples, add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of
butter to the hot skillet

Categories: Pancakes, German
Servings: 6
4 Eggs
1 c Flour
1/4 ts Salt
3 ts Sugar
1 1/3 c Milk
1 c Butter (2 sticks)
Cinnamon sugar Juice of 1 lemon jam...suggested are loganberry, boysenberry
or seedless raspberry
You will need a LARGE skillet for these...
Beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add flour, salt, sugar and milk.
Beat for 5 minutes more. The batter will be thin, but very smooth and
creamy.
Place 2 T of butter into the pan for each pancake. Heat until pan is very
hot, but don't allow butter to burn. Ladle in enough batter with one hand
so that, with the other hand holding the skillet handle and rotating the
skillet, there is just enough batter to cover the bottom and slightly up
the sides of thepan, but not a lot of excess. This will produce a giant,
crepelike pancake.
Check the cake by gently lifting the edge with a spatula. When it is
nicely browned, tunr the cake. The second side will brown quickly.
Place the pancake onto a warm plate, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar then
lemon juice, then spread with jam. Roll up like a small jellyroll, sprinle
again with cinnamon sugar, cut into two pieces, and serve.

Title: German-Style Mustard
Categories: Spreads, German, Sauces
Servings: 6
1/4 c Yellow mustard seed
2 tb Black or brown mustard seed,
-heaping
1/4 c Dry mustard
1/2 c Water
1 1/2 c Cider vinegar
1 sm Onion chopped
2 tb Firmly packed brown sugar
1 ts Salt
2 Garlic gloves, minced or
-pressed
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Ground allspice
1/4 ts Dried tarragon leaves
1/8 ts Turmeric
Adapted from Gift Ideas from the Kitchen
In a small bowl, combine mustard seed and dry mustard. In a 1- to 2-quart
non-aluminim pan, combine remaining ingredients. Simmer uncovered, on
medium heat until reduced by half, 10-15 minutes. Pour the mixture into the
mustard mixture. Let mixture soak at room temperature 24 to 48 hours,adding
additional vinegar if neccesary in order to maintain enough liquid to cover
seeds.
Process the seeds and mixture in a blender or food processor until pureed
to the texture you like --this can take at least 3 or 4 minutes. Some
prefer whole seeds remaining, others a smooth paste. The mixture will
thicken considerably upon standing. If it gets too thick after a few
days,stir in additional vinegar.
Scrape mustard into clean, dry jars; cover tightly and age at least 3 days

and the cocoa powder until the mixture is combined well. In a small bowl,
whisk together the gingerroot, the almond extract and the eggs, add the
mixture to the flour mixture, beating until a dough is formed, and stir in
the almonds. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead it
several times and divide it into thirds. Working on a large buttered and
floured baking sheet, with floured hands, form each piece of dough into a
flattish log 10 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide and arrange the logs at
least 3 inches apart on the sheet. Bake the logs in the middle of a
preheated 350F oven for 25 minutes and let them cool on the baking sheet on
the rack for 10 minutes. On a cutting board cut the logs crosswise on the
diagonal into 3/4 inch slices, arrange the biscotti, cut sides down, on the
baking sheet, and bake them in the 350F oven for 5 minutes on each side.
Transfer the biscotti to racks to cool and store them in airtight

Title: Glitscher
Categories: Potatoes, German
Servings: 4
3 md Raw potatoes
1 3/4 lb Potatoes, boiled in their
-jackets a day ahead
3 tb To 4 tb (heaping) flour
2 Eggs
1/4 c Water
Salt
So called for their well-known propensity to slip ('glitschen') off one's
plate, 'Glitscher' are also called 'Wetzsteine' (whetstones) because they
are more or less the same shape (although shorter) as the old-fashioned
sharpening stones used for a sickle or scythe blade.
Grate the raw potatoes into a bowl full of water, then place in a coarse
muslin bag or wrap in a rolled-up dishtowel, and wring out thoroughly. The
boiled potatoes should be cooked a day in advance, then peeled and grated
on the following day. Combine the two, along with the flour, eggs, and
water, and mix thoroughly; season with salt. Shape the dumplings with wet
hands. The dumplings should be fairly long and pointed at both ends. Cook
in simmering salted water for about 20 minutes.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.

1/4 c Plain flour for kneading
1/2 ts Ground cardamom
Oil for deep-frying
MMMMM----------------------------TO FINISH---------------------------------
1 c Icing (confectioners') sugar
1/2 ts Ground cardamom (optional)
1/2 c Finely chopped pistachios
*Note: Pistachio nuts should be blanched. Optionally, same amount of
finely chopped walnuts may be used intead of pistachios.
Beat eggs until frothy, beat in sugar and salt. Stir in milk and oil. Sift
flour, add half to egg mixture and blend in with wooden spoon. Gradually
stir in remainder of flour, holding back about 1/2 cup. Turn onto floured
board and dust with some of reserved flour. Knead for 10 minutes until
smooth and glossy, using more flour as required. Dough will still be
slightly sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and rest for 2 hours.
Take a piece of dough about the size of a large hazelnut and roll out on a
floured board to a circle about 8-10 cm (3-4 inches) in diameter. Gather
up dough on one side and pinch, forming a shape resembling an elephant ear.
Place on a cloth and cover. Repeat with remaining dough.
Deep fry one at a time in oil, heated to 190 C (375 F) turning to cook
evenly. Fry until golden, do not over-brown. As dough is rather elastic,
the pastry tends to contract with handling, so just before dropping pastry
into hot oil, pull out lightly with fingers to enlarge.
Drain pastries on paper towels. Sift icing sugar with cardamom if used and
dust pastries with mixture. Sprinkle with nuts and serve warm or cold.
Store in a sealed container.
Alternative topping: Make a syrup with 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water.
Bring to the boil when sugar is dissolved and boil for 5 minutes. Dribble
syrup onto warm pastries and sprinkle with cardamom and nuts.

6 md Potatoes
1 Egg yolk
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/2 All-purpose flour
These are *not* fluffy dumplings as in chicken and dumplings. They are a
"sturdy" potato dumpling served as a side dish to meat, and usually with a
sweet sauerkraut/carraway/honey dish as the vegetable.
* * *
Boil peeled potatoes in small quantity of water. Drain potatoes
thoroughly. Rice potatoes through hand held masher/ricer. Let potatoes
cool. On floured board, gradually add flour working mixture into dough
with hands. Shape potato mixture into a long roll and cut into 10 slices.
Drop dumplings into boiling water and boil gently about 5 minutes.
Drain dumplings on paper towel. The dumplings are fully cooked after the
boiling process, but traditionally, Czechoslovakians then melt butter in a
heavy frying pan, and fry the dumplings until they are lightly browned on
all sides.

white of the leeks, and simmer gently for 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Add the potatoes
(cut in four) and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes. When the
potatoes are almost cooked, thicken with flour and a little water. Lastly,
add the green of the leeks and parsley (chopped) and simmer for further 10
minutes and serve in basins while hot. Cawl was the dish most commonly
served for dinner on the farm during the winter months in the counties of
South and West Wales. The broth itself would be served in basins or bowls,
with bread, and the meat and vegetables served as a second course. Croeso

Karen Mintzias
40 Whole walnuts
12 oz Frozen grape juice;undiluted
10 ts Cornstarch
Confectioners' sugar
Thread a needle with 2 foot length of white, heavy-duty carpet thread. Tie
a knot 8 inches from the end. Carefully string 20 walnuts. Tie a knot after
the last walnut. Tie thread ends together forming a necklace. Repeat for
remaining 20 walnuts. Divide the grape juice concentrate. From one half,
pour 1/3 cup into a jar. Pour the remaining amount of that half into a
small saucepan. Heat to boiling. Spinkle 5 teaspoons of cornstarch into the
jar of juice. Shake vigorously. Gradually stir into boiling juice. Cook
until thick enough to heavily coat spoon. Remove from heat. Dip one
"necklace" into grape juice until every nut is coated. Hang loop in an airy
spot. Dip and hang second necklace. Allow to hang 30 minutes. Repeat the
whole procedure. Dry necklaces several days until coating is no longer

Title: Grape Nut Roll (Soutzouki)
Categories: Candies, Greek
Servings: 1
Karen Mintzias
6 oz Frozen grape juice;undiluted
1/2 c Sugar or honey
1 sm Box pectin jell
Citric acid (pea-sized);*OR*
1 -Lemon, juice only, instead
1/2 c Whole walnuts
3 tb Cornstarch
1/4 c Cold water
Candied nuts and grape juice, "soutzouki", is an ancient candy recipe still
being used in the villages of Greece. The traditional recipe is quite
involved, calling for the stringing of walnuts like beads on linen thread,
boiling many pounds of grapes into a thick syrup and coating the nuts by
pouring the thick syrup over them just as if you were making candies until
a purple necklace is formed. You can make this recipe in a simpler way
without having to stamp on the grapes with bare feet.
In a large deep pot bring juice and honey or sugar to a vigorous boil.
Add pectin and boil 5 minutes. Dissolve citric acid first in a tablespoon
of hot syrup, then add to the rest of the syrup, mixing it in. Add nuts.
Dissolve cornstarch in cold water and mix into syrup, stirring quickly.
Cook 1 minutes more.
Ladle thick mixture on to heavy waxed paper. Make a long thick roll.
Pick up two sides of paper and press together to make a fat sausage of
candy. Let set at room temperature. Store in plastic bag. Slice as
needed.

1/2 lb Pale muscovado sugar
1/2 lb Butter
2 tb Golden syrup
Line a swiss roll or baking tin measuring about 9 x 13 inches with bakewell

together. Melt the butter and syrup over low heat, pour on to the dry
ingredients and stir well to make a fairly stiff mixture. Spread the
mixture evenly over the base of the prepared tin and bake at 350 F (180 C)
gas mark 4 for 25-30 minutes. Do not be alarmed by the fact that the
mixture will look a little runny when it emerges from the oven; this is
normal. Mark the biscuits into fingers or squares while still warm but
leave in the tin until completely cold. Don't make the biscuits very big ~
they are chewy and very filling. Good exercise for the jaws and high in
calories. Source: Philippa Davenport in "Country Living" (British), March

2 lb Ground lamb; (or beef)
3 tb Tomato paste
1/2 c Red wine
1/2 c Chopped parsley
1/4 ts Ground cinnamon

1/4 lb Butter
6 tb Flour
1 qt Milk
4 Eggs; beaten until frothy
Grated nutmeg
2 c Ricotta or cottage cheese
1 c Fine bread crumbs
1 c Grated Parmesan cheese
Peel the eggplants and cut them into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Brown the
slices quickly in 1/4 cup of the oil. Set aside. Heat the remaining oil in
the same skillet and cook the onions until they are brown. Add the ground
meat and cook 10 minutes. Pour off excess fat. Combine the tomato paste
with the wine, parsley, cinnamon, salt and peper. Stir this mixture into
the meat and simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until all the
liquid has been absorbed. Remove the mixture from the fire. Preheat the
oven to 375F. Make a white sauce by melting the butter and blending in the
flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Meanwhile, bring the milk to a boil and
add it gradually to the butter-flour mixture, stirring constantly. When the
mixture is thickened and smooth, remove it from the heat. Cook slightly and
stir in the beaten eggs, nutmeg and ricotta. Grease an 11x16-inch pan and
sprinkle the bottom lightly with crumbs. Arrange alternate layers of the
eggplant and the meat sauce in the pan, sprinkling each layer with Parmesan
and crumbs. Pour the ricotta sauce over the top and bake 1 hour, or until
top is golden. Remove from the oven and cool 20 to 30 minutes before
serving. Cut into squares and serve. The flavors in this dish really
improve if you make it a day ahead.

2 lb Fresh tomatoes*
1 ts Granulated sugar
1/4 c Red wine
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1 Stick cinnamon (optional)
2 Sprigs parsley; chopped

Title: Greek Tsoureki (Easter Bread)
Categories: Greek, Breads, Holiday
Servings: 2
Karen Mintzias
1 c Milk
1/2 c Sweet butter
1 pk Active dry yeast
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1 ts Salt
2 Eggs; beaten
5 tb Orange juice
1 tb Grated orange rind
5 1/2 c Sifted flour
Butter; melted
Red-dyed, hard-boiled eggs
1/4 c Slivered almonds
2 tb Granulated sugar
In a small saucepan, combine the milk and butter over medium heat and
scald. Stir until the butter melts, then pour into a mixing bowl. When
lukewarm, sprinkle in the yeast, and with fingers or a heavy spoon
gradually stir in the 1/2 cup sugar until it dissolves. Then add the salt,
eggs 3 tablespoons of the orange juice, and the orange rind, stirring
continuously, and gradually add half the flour until the mixture begins to
bubble. Continue adding flour gradually by hand; the dough will be sticky,
but should not be stiff. Flour your fingers lightly and knead for 15
minutes. Place the dough in a large buttered bowl, brush the dough with
melted butter, cover, and place in a warm area to rise until doubled in
bulk (approximately 2 to 3 hours).
Punch the dough down and divide into 2 parts. Divide each half into 3
parts and roll each into a long rope about 10" x 2". Braid the three ropes
together; pinch to seal the ends if leaving long, or join together to form
a long round loaf (see note below). Repeat with the other half of the
dough to make a second tsoureki. Place in large baking pans or on a cookie
sheet, cover, and let rise until doubled in bulk (approx. 1 1/2 hours).
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by mixing the remaining orange juice,
remaining sugar, and the almonds in a small bowl. Bake the tsourekia in a
375 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and with a pastry
brush glaze the tops and sides of loaves. Return to the oven and bake for
another 15 to 20 minutes until the color is a rich and shiny chestnut.
Note: If using the Easter eggs, tuck them into the center when you
shape the loaves, leave until loaves have doubled and bake them with the
loaf. After baking, though lovely, the eggs will be inedible. Also in
some provinces, the tsoureki is formed with a large braid and a smaller one
over it, making a much larger loaf requiring a longer baking time. From

Title: Gruiben (Cracklings)
Categories: Pork, German
Servings: 4
2 1/2 kg Fresh pork bacon [the fatty
-layer right underneath
The skin. K.B.] (approx. 5
-1/2 lbs)
1/8 l Milk or water (1/2 cup plus
-1/2 Tbsp)
Cut the bacon into 3/4-inch cubes and put into a tall pot which must not
get filled more than halfway up (to prevent the large amount of foam during
the rendering process from running over and spilling). Heat up slowly,
else the bacon will stick to the bottom and scorch. As soon as there is a
little liquid fat covering the bottom of the pot, add milk or water, and
heat up more, constantly stirring. Let the cracklings brown a little bit
more, then pour off the liquid lard, through a sieve, into an earthenware
pot. Warm cracklings are very popular in-between meal.
Serves 4.

Title: Guvec or Turlu - Vegetable Casserole
Categories: Turkish
Servings: 6
2 Long eggplants; -OR-
1 md -Oval eggplant
Salt
4 sm Zucchini
3 sm Sweet green peppers
250 g Okra; optional
250 g Green beans
4 sm Tomatoes, ripe, peeled
1/2 c Olive oil
3 sm Onions; sliced
2 Garlic cloves; crushed
1/4 c Chopped parsley
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c -Water
There is some confusion about the name of this dish. To the Turks, Turlu
is a lamb or chicken and vegetable casserole. Yet in other countries of
the region Turlu is prepared as an all-vegetable casserole, with cooks
admitting to it being a Turkish dish. Guvec on the other hand is a
casserole of meat or poultry and vegetables, or vegetables on their own.
Oven temperature: 180 C (350 F) Cooking time: 1-1/2 to 2 hours
Remove stem from eggplant, wash well then peel off 1 cm (1/2 inch) strips
of skin lengthwise at intervals giving a striped effect. Cut long
eggplants in 1 cm (1/2 inch) slices; oval eggplant should be quartered
lengthwise, then cut into chunky pieces. Spread eggplant on a tray and
sprinkle liberally with salt. Leave for 30 minutes, then pat dry with
paper towels.
Trim zucchini and cut into 4 cm (1-1/2 inch) pieces. Remove stem and seeds
from peppers and quarter. Wash, trim and (if desired) de-fuzz okra. Soak
in vinegar to remove slime. Drain.
String beans if necessary and slit in half (French cut). Slice tomatoes.
Heat half the oil in a frying pan and fry eggplant until lightly browned.
Remove to a plate - do not drain.
Add remaining oil to a pan, add sliced onions and fry gently until
transparent. Stir in garlic, cook 1 minute, then remove pan from heat.
Place a layer of eggplant in the base of a casserole dish. Top with some
of the zucchini, peppers and beans. Spread some onion mixture on top and
cover with tomato slices. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and some of the
parsley. Repeat until all ingredients are used, reserving some tomato
slices and parsley.
Place prepared okra on top if used and cover with last of tomato. Sprinkle
with parsley, salt and pepper and add water and oil drained from eggplant.
Cover casserole and cook in a moderate oven for 1 to 1-1/2 hours until
vegetables are tender. Serve from casserole as an accompaniment to roast
or grilled meats or poultry. Often this is served as a light meal on its
own; bread and peynir (feta) cheese are then served with it.

"Haggis, "The great Chieftain of the pudding' race", as Robert Burns,
described it, is indeed a toothsome morsel and it is a great pity that many
English people look upon it as more a Scottish joke than a good Scottish
dish. However since Haggis is made from the stomach, lungs and other
internals of a sheep it is a rather gruesome sight during certain stages of
its cooking, as anyone who has witnessed the process will agree. The lung
must be first be heating in a pan of hot water with the trachea hanging
over the side to allow any blood and froth to escape and the stomach bag
must be cleaned and scraped very thoroughly before it is used. I must say
from experience that it takes needs a fairly robust stomach to first
prepare and then eat it. If you can buy prepared haggis I do strongly
recommend you to try it. All you need to do is slice it and fry it in a
lightly greased frying pan. If you cannot buy ready-made haggis, then the
following is tasty substitute.."
Boil the liver for five minutes. Drain and put aside to cool. Toast the
oatmeal in a dry frying pan or in the oven until it begins to turn a pale
brown. Peel and mince the onions and the liver. Mix all the ingredients
with the seasoning and stir in some of the water in which the liver has
been boiled. The mixture should be thoroughly moist but not wet. Have ready
a greased basin large enough to give the mixture room to swell. Cover with
greaseproof paper and a cloth and boil or steam for three hours. The
traditional way to serve haggis is with mashed potatoes and turnips -
"tatties and neeps", as they are called in Scotland - and to give the meal
a truly Scottish flavour you should serve a glass of whiskey along with it.
I like to let the mock haggis go cold and then slice it and heat it through
in a frying pan (without fat) until golden brown on both sides. This way it
is very good with poached eggs and even with chips.
Note: if your mince looks to be on the fatty side, then cut down the
quantity of suet to 4 oz (100grams).

Categories: Scottish, Pork
Servings: 8
2 1/2 lb Pork fat or salt pork
1 lb Pork liver; approx 3 lb
1 1/2 c Rolled oats
2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
This New Brunswick recipe reflects a change in the traditional haggis - a
change which recent Scottish arrivals consider akin to sacrilege.
Directions: Grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Cut Pork fat in cubes and fry
out the fat from the pork or salt pork fat. Pour off the grease as it
accumulates. When the pieces are golden brown and crisp they are called
"crackin's in Ontario, or "Kips" in the Maritimes. Drain well. Cool.
Wash the pork liver and place in a large pot. Cover with boiling water and
boil for about 1 hour, or until a fork can easily be inserted. Remove liver
and allow to cool. Reserve liquid. Put cooled liver and 2 cups of
cracklin's through the food grinder. Mix together. Stir in the oats, salt
and pepper. Add sufficient cooking liquid to hold mixture together. Press
into prepared loaf pan, cover with waxed paper and foil. Steam for 1 hour.
Cool.
To Serve, slice 1/2 inch thick and pan fry until golden brown on both
sides. Serve piping hot.

2 Onions; peeled
2 c Pinhead oatmeal; (Irish

1 2/3 c Suet
Salt & pepper
-trussing needle and fine

Thoroughly wash the stomach bag in cold water. Turn it inside out and
scald it, then scrape the surface with a knife. Soak it in cold salted
water overnight. Next day remove the bag from the water and leave it on one
side while preparing the filling. Wash the pluck. Put it into a pan, with
the windpipe hanging over the side into a bowl, to let out any impurities.
Cover the pluck with cold water, add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring the water
to a boil. Skim the surface, then simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Meanwhile
parboil the onions, drain, reserving the ligquid, and chop them roughly.
Also tpast the pinhead oatmeal until golden brown. Drain the pluck when
ready and cut away the windpipe and any excess gristle. Mince half the
liver with all the heart and lights, then stir in the shredded suet, the
toasted oatmeal and the onions. Season well with salt and pepper. Moisten
with as much of the onion or pluck water as necessary to make the mixture
soft. With the rough surface of the bag outside fill it just over half
full, the oatmeal will swell during cooking, and sew the ends together with
the trussing needle and fine string. Prick the bag in places with the
needlw. Place the haggis on and enamel plate and put it into a pan of
boiling water. Cover the pan and cook for about 3 hours, adding more
boiling water when necessary to keep the haggis covered. Serve with the
traditional accompaniment of Tatties-an'Neeps. (Mashed potatoes and mashed
turnips.)
This is typically served on Burns' Night, January 25, when Scotland
celebrates the birth of their greatest poet, Robert Burns, who was born in
Ayrshire on that date in 1759. During the celebration, Burns poems are
read, and the haggis is addressed by a member of the party, ceremonially,
in the for of verses from Burns' poem, "Address to a Haggis" A typical meal
for Burn's night would include, Cock-a-Leekie, Haggis with
Tattie-an'-neeps, Roastit Beef, Tipsy Laird, and Dunlop Cheese.

1 lb Lean mutton
6 oz Fine oatmeal
8 oz Shredded suet
2 lg Onions, chopped
salt and pepper about 1/4 pint beef stock
Soak the stomach bag in salted water overnight. Place the pluck (lights,
liver and heart) in a saucepan with the windpipe hanging over the edge.
Cover with water and boil for 1 1/2 hours. Impurities will pass out through
the windpipe and it is advisable to place a basin under it to catch any
drips. Drain well and cool. Remove the windpipe and any gristle or skin.
Mince the liver and heart with the mutton. (Add some of the lights before
mincing if you wish.) Toast the oatmeal gently until pale golden brown and
crisp. Combine with minced mixture, suet and onion. Season well and add
sufficient stock to moisten well. Pack into the stomach bag, filling it
just over half-full as the stuffing will swell during cooking. Sew up the
bag tightly or secure each end with string. Put an upturned plate in the
base of a saucepan of boiling water, stand the haggis on this and bring
back to the boil. Prick the haggis all over with a large needle to avoid
bursting and boil steadily for 3 to 4 hours. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

1 Sheep's stomach, thoroughly
-cleaned
The liver, heart, and lights
-(lungs) of the sheep
1 lb Beef suet
2 lg Onions
2 tb Salt
1 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 ts Cayenne or red pepper
1/2 ts Allspice
2 lb Dry oatmeal (the
-old-fashioned, slow-cooking
-kind)
2 Or 3 cups broth (in which
-the liver, heart and lights
-were
Cooked)
Utensils
4 qt Pot with lid
What you need:
Canning kettle or a large spaghetti pot, 16- to 20 quart size with a lid to
fit it Meat grinder Cheesecloth
What to do:
If the butcher has not already cut apart and trimmed the heart, liver and
lungs, do that first. It involves cutting the lungs off the windpipe,
cutting the heart off the large bloodvessels and cutting it open to rinse
it, so that it can cook more quickly. The liver, too, has to be freed from
the rest. Put them in a 4-quart pot with 2 to 3 cups water, bring to a
boil, and simmer for about an hour and a half. Let it all cool, and keep
the broth. Run the liver and heart through the meat grinder. Take the
lungs and cut out as much of the gristly part as you easily can, then run
them through the grinder, too. Next, put the raw beef suet through the
grinder. As you finish grinding each thing, put it in the big kettle.
Peel, slice and chop the onions, then add them to the meat in the kettle.
Add the salt and spices and mix.
The oatmeal comes next, and while it is customary to toast it or brown it
very lightly in the oven or in a heavy bottomed pan on top of the stove,
this is not absolutely necessary. When the oatmeal has been thoroughly
mixed with the rest of it, add the 2 cups of the broth left from boiling
the meat. See if when you take a handful, it sticks together. If it does,
do not add the third cup of broth. If it is still crumbly and will not hold
together very well, add the rest of the broth and mix thoroughly. Have the
stomach smooth side out and stuff it with the mixture, about three-quarters
full. Sew up the openings. Wrap it in cheesecloth,so that when it is
cooked you can handle it. Now, wash out the kettle and bring about 2
gallons of water to a boil in it. Put in the haggis and prick it all over
with a skewer so that it does not burst. You will want to do this a couple
of times early in the cooking span. Boil the haggis gently for about 4 or 5
hours.
If you did not have any cheesecloth for wrapping the haggis, you can use a
large clean dishtowel. Work it under with kitchen spoons to make a sling
with which you can lift out the haggis in one piece. You will probably want
to wear lined rubber gloves to protect your hands from the hot water while
you lift it out with the wet cloth. (You put the dish cloth in the pot only
after the haggis is done; you do not cook the towel with the haggis as you
would the cheesecloth.)
Note: Even if the butcher has cleaned the stomach, you will probably want
to go over it again. Turn the stomach shaggy side out and rinse. Rub it in
a sinkful of cold water. Change the water and repeat as many times as
necessary, until the water stays pretty clear and handling it does not
produce much sediment as the water drains out of the sink.

3 c Water
2 c Granulated sugar
1 Cinnamon stick
3 Whole cloves
1 Lemon (peel only)
1/2 c Butter
1 c Coarse semolina or farina
4 tb Pine nuts
2 tb Blanched, chopped almonds
3 tb Whole blanched almonds
Combine the water, sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, and lemon peel (or 1
tablespoon lemon juice) in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for
10 minutes, then cool.
Meanwhile, slowly melt the butter in a heavy saucepan, and cook for several
minutes, without browning. Stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, slowly
add the semolina or farina. Cook over low heat until the mixture turns a
golden chestnut color; do not brown. Add 2 tablespoons of the pine nuts and
chopped almonds and continue cooking 1 more minute.
Remove cinnamon stick, cloves, and peel from the cooled syrup. Gradually
add the syrup to the semolina mixture, stirring with a long-handled wooden
spoon; the mixture will bubble furiously. Cook over the lowest possible
heat until the syrup has been absorbed and the mixture thickens. Remove
from the heat and drape with a clean towel for 10 minutes. Turn into a
mold, spreading with a knife or a spatula. Cool, then reverse onto a
serving platter, sprinkle with cinnamon, and garnish decoratively with the
remaining pine nuts and the whole almonds. Cut into small, diamond-shaped
pieces.

-flour
1/2 ts Salt (optional)
4 tb Olive oil
1 1/2 c Cubed ham or pork

2 ts Chopped fresh thyme OR 1 tsp
-crumbled dried
2 ts Chopped fresh sage OR 1 tsp
-crumbled dried
...This French style loaf can be made from start to finish in a little over
an hour. It's a hearty loaf that is delicious sliced and lightly toasted
and served with soups, stews, and salads...
generous grinding of black pepper
1. Place the yeast in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the warm water and
honey and set aside in a warm spot for about 10 minutes, or until the yeast
is dissolved and begins bubbling. (If the yeast does not bubble it is
probably dead. Begin again, using fresh yeast.) Gradually sift the flour
and salt into the yeast mixture, stirring constantly until the dough begins
to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
2. Sprinkle some flour over a working surface and gently knead the dough
for several minutes. Cut the dough in half and roll out one half into a
rectangle (like a rectangular pizza) about 14 inches by 10 inches. Brush
the dough with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Scatter half the ham
over the surface, pressing it gently into the dough.. Sprinkle half the
cheese on top and scatter half the herbs and a generous grinding of fresh
black pepper over the dough. Using your hands, gently roll the dough
lengthwise, into the shape of a long cigar. Lightly seal the edges of the
dough. Place in a well-greased French bread pan (or on a well-greased
cookie sheet) and cover with a clean tea towel.
3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
4. Make the second loaf. Place the two loaves of bread in a dry warm spot
and let the sit, covered, for 15 minutes.
5. Just before baking, lightly brush the loaves with the remaining 1
tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the middle shelf of the hot oven and
bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bread has a golden brown crust and
sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Serves 8. Makes 2 loaves.

Orecchi di Aman For the Italian Jews orecchi di Aman are as synonymous with
the festival of Purim as the Hamantaschen are for the Ashkenazim.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks with the sugar, lemon rind, olive
oil, vanilla extract and rum. Gradually add enough flour to make a rahter
soft dough. Turn out onto a floured working surface and knead for 2 or 3
minutes. Roll very thin. With a pastry cutter or sharp knife, cut into
strips 1 inch x 4 to 7 inches. Slowly heat the oil in a small saucepan.
(Oil is at the right temperature when a small piece of dough drops into it
floats and begins to sizzle.) Fry a few strips at a time, twirling them to
give them odd shapes until they are lightly golden. (Tie the longer pieces
into a knot before frying them.) Drain and place on a paper towe. When all
the ears are done, transfer to a large serving dish, sprinkling each layer
with confectioner's sugar (through a sieve). YIELDS: 2 to 3 dozen

In a heavy skillet or wide flameproof casserole, heat 2 tablespoons olive
oil and saute the eel pieces until well browned on all sides. Remove from
the pan and add another tablespoon oil if necessary.
Add the onions and fry gently until translucent. Pound the sun-dried
tomatoes, if using, to a paste. Add to the pan with the chopped tomatoes,
honey, thyme, bay leaf, lemon zest, and garlic and simmer for 10-12 minutes
until the sauce begins to thicken.
Return the eel pieces to the sauce and stir in the parsley, mint, and salt
and pepper to taste. Move to a baking dish or earthenware casserole, if
necessary. Strew with the crumbled feta and shake the dish, so the cheese
settles a little. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Bake in an oven preheated to
350 degrees F for about 30 minutes.

Title: Herbed Focaccia
Categories: Breads, Italian
Servings: 8
1 pk Dry yeast
1 ts Sugar
1 c Warm water (105-115F)
2 1/3 c Bread flour
1/3 c Cornmeal
1 1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Light-tasting olive oil
2 lg Garlic cloves; minced
1 ts Dried rosemary
1 ts Dried basil
1 ts Dried oregano
Kosher salt
1 tb Fresh chives, snipped
1 tb Fresh parsley, minced
1 tb Red pepper flakes
A small amount of cornmeal gives this focaccia--a flat bread--a perfect
texture for improvised open sandwiches. You might start with thinly sliced
salami and cheese.
PREHEAT OVEN TO 450F. Fifteen minutes before baking focaccia, put rack in
center of oven. If you have 2 ovens, preheat both; otherwise bake focaccias
in sequence, one after the other. Generously oil 2 large baking sheets,
preferably black steel. Stir yeast and sugar into warm water. Let stand
until foamy, about 5 minutes. Mix flour, cornmeal and salt in food
processor fitted with metal blade (can also be kneaded with mixer dough
hook or by hand). Turn on processor. Slowly pour yeast mixture through feed
tube. Also pour 2 tablespoons oil through. Process until dough cleans
inside of work bowl but is still moist. If it sticks, add a little flour;
if it's dry, add a little water. Once dough is moist but not so wet that it
sticks to sides of bowl, process until uniformly kneaded, elastic and
supple, about 40 seconds. Transfer dough to large plastic food bag, squeeze
out air and seal at top, allowing room for dough to expand. Let dough rise
in warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down; use immediately or
refrigerate overnight. Combine remaining 6 tablespoons oil, garlic and
dried herbs. Gently heat until warm (not hot) on stove top or microwave
oven. Divide dough in half. Let rest 5 minutes. On floured board, roll each
piece into about a 12-inch round. Transfer to prepared baking sheets. Prick
surface with fork. Brush with oil mixture, including edges. Sprinkle with
Kosher salt. Bake, one at a time, until very lightly browned around edges
only, about 8-10 minutes. Do not overbake. Check after 2 minutes in oven;
prick any air pockets with fork. Brush with any remaining oil, including
edges. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and pepper flakes. Can be baked in advance
and frozen. To do so, cool completely, freeze and then wrap airtight. Let
thaw in wrapping. To reheat, place in cold oven and set at 300F. Bake until
hot, about 5-7 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve hot. Yield: 2 12-inch
rounds.

Title: Highland Sausage Roll
Categories: British, Appetizers, Game
Servings: 4
10 oz Venison (trimmed weight)
6 oz Belly of pork (trimmed wt.)
2 oz Pitted prunes
1 sm Onion
Remains of a pot of tea
3 tb Port
Allspice, thyme or Worcester
1 lb Ready-made puff pastry
Beaten egg to glaze
Mince the meats fairly finely, chop the onion very finely and mix together.
Season with a good grinding of pepper - but no salt - and some allspice,
thyme or a few shakes of Worcester sauce. Pour on the port and mix well,
then cover and leave for several hours or overnight to allow the flavours
to blend. Cover the prunes with cold tea and leave to soak for several
hours.
Season the sausagemeat with salt and roll it into a long, fat sausage
shape. Roll the pastry out to a rectangle and lay the "sausage" down the
length of it. Lay the whole drained prunes on top of the meat. Damp one
long edge with beaten egg, roll up carefully and seal. Alternatively you
may like to enclose the sausage in a decorative pastry plait. In this
case, roll the pastry out to a square, lay the "sausage" down the centre
and place the whole drained prunes on top. Cut the pastry diagonally into
1/2-inch strips on either side of the meat. Damp the end of each pastry
strip with beaten egg then fold the strips alternately from each side, over
the meat to create a plait effect. Seal the pastry ends.
Slide the pastry parcel on to a damp baking sheet and glaze the top. If
you have made a sausage roll, decorate it with pastry leaves and make one
or two steam slits in the top of the pastry. Bake at 425 F (220 C) gas
mark 4 for a further 25 minutes or so.

Title: Hollandse Kippesoep (Spiced Chicken Soup)
Categories: Dutch, Soups, Poultry
Servings: 8
MMMMM-----------------------MM BY HELEN PEAGRAM----------------------------
4 lb Chicken, cut in pieces
1 Onion, peeled
4 Cloves, whole
1/2 ts Mace
1/4 ts Pepper
2 Celery stalks, cut in
-chunks
2 Bay leaves
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Thyme
1/2 ts Rosemary
4 Sprigs parsley
2 lg Carrots, cut in chunks
1/4 lb Vermicelli pasta
Chopped fresh parsley
In the 1600's when Amsterdam was a booming commercial centre, the Dutch
East India Company brought pungent spices, such as nutmeg, cinnamon and
cloves, to Holland. These spices linger on in Dutch cooking. If mace is
not available, nutmeg can be substituted.
In a large pot, place chicken. Pour in enough boiling water to cover;
bring to a boil over high heat. Remove chicken to a clean pot. Stud onion
with cloves and add to chicken along with bay leaves, 1/2 ts salt, thyme,
rosemary, mace, pepper, celery, parsley sprigs and carrots. Pour in 12
cups cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and
simmer, covered for 5 hours, or until meat comes away from the bones. Let
cool and skim off fat. Strain through cheesecloth lined sieve. Remove meat
from bones, chop and set aside.
Return chicken stock to a clean pot and bring to a boil. Add vermicelli.
Cook for 5 minutes. Return chicken and remaining salt to pot. Cook just
until heated through. Taste and adjust seasonings. Garnish with chopped
parsley.

Title: Homemade "Little Ears" Orecchiette Casalinga
Categories: Pasta, Italian
Servings: 1
1 c Semolina flour
2 c Unbleached flour
1/4 ts Salt
3/4 c Lukewarm water
-(approximately)
Source: 'The Good Cook - Pasta' Serves: Makes about 1 1/2 pounds fresh
pasta, or 10-12 oz dried pasta
Combine the semolina, unbleached flour and salt, and mound it on a large
work surface. Make a well in the center with your finger and pour in 3 - 4
Tbls. water. Begin pulling the flour from the inner wall of the well into
the liquid. Add more water and continue forming a paste until the flour has
absorbed as much water as possible with becoming hard or dry. The perfect
consistency is softer than the basic flour and egg pasta, but not at all
sticky. Knead vigorously on a lightly floured board until the dough is
smooth and elastic. This may take 20 minutes or so. Form the dough into a
ball and cover.
To make the 'little ears', pull off a scant handful of the dough (keep the
rest of the dough covered). On a lightly floured board, roll the dough into
a rope about 3/4 inch in diameter. Cut the rope into slices no more than
1/8 inch thick to form small circles of dough. Now put one of these circles
into the cupped palm of your hand and, with the thumb of the other hand,
press and turn the circle at the same time to form a dent in the center
that will spread the dough a little on each side. It should look like a
small ear, with slightly thicker ear lobes. Repeat with all of the
remaining dough, placing the orecchiette on a lightly floured cloth as they
are made.
The orecchiette are cooked in the same manner as fresh flour and egg pasta,
although they take longer to cook. Watch them carefully and taste
frequently for doneness.

Title: Homemade Pan Bread with Fresh Herbs
Categories: Breads, Fresh herbs, Italian
Servings: 8
2 c Warm water
1 tb Dry yeast
3 tb Sugar
6 c To 7 c all purpose flour
1 tb Salt
1/2 c Olive oil
1 tb Dry italian seasonings
2 tb Minced fresh garlic
1/4 c Chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tb Chopped fresh oregano
From Sheryl Benesch, Korbel Champagne Cellars.
This pan bread has an Italian heritage. It does not need butter and is
best eaten shortly after it has emerged from the oven. It is excellent with
vegetable soups.
Combine the waterm, yeast, sugar, and approximately 2 cups of the flour to
make a thick paste. Mix thoroughly and let stand a few minutes until
bubbles rise to the surface.
Combine the salt with the remaining flour; add gradually to the yeast
mixture, until it will absorb no more flour. Knead the dough until the
texture is smooth and not sticky to the touch; about 5 to 10 minutes. Place
the dough in an oiled bowl and let it rise in a warm place until it has
doubled in bulk. Punch dough down, place on a lightly floured surface, and
knead for another minute. Let dough rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Brush a 9 x 13 inch sheet pan with 1/3 of the olive oil. Sprinkle the pan
with 1/2 tablespoon of the dry Italian seasonings and 1 tablespoon of
garlic. Roll the bread dough out to line the pan.
Lay the dough into the pan, brush with the remaining olive oil, sprinkle
with the remaining garlic and Italian seasonings, and then the fresh herbs.
(At this point the bread may be prepared a day ahead and kept in the
refrigerator, on the prepared pan, to rise.)
Let the dough rise for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Bake in a preheated 350
degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Serves 8 to 12.

Servings: 60

1 c Butter
3/4 c Caster sugar
3/4 c Maize or peanut oil
1 Orange; grated rind only
6 c Plain flour
4 ts Baking powder
3/4 c Orange juice
MMMMM----------------------NUT FILLING (OPTIONAL---------------------------
1 tb Honey
2 ts Orange juice
1 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 1/2 c Finely chopped walnuts
2 dr Almond essence
MMMMM---------------------------HONEY SYRUP--------------------------------
1 c Sugar
1 c Water
1/2 Cinnamon stick
1 1/2 ts Lemon juice
1 Thin strip of lemon rind
1/4 c Honey
Oven temperature: 180 C (350 F)
Beat butter and sugar with orange rind until creamy. Gradually add oil and
continue beating until mixture is very light and fluffy. Stir in flour
alternately with orange juice. Knead dough lightly with hands for 1
minute.
Take a scant tablespoon of dough and flatten it a little. Place a teaspoon
of the nut filling in the centre and fold dough over to enclose filling.
Shape into ovals, pinching ends to a point. Decorate tops with tines of
fork or by crimping cookies diagonally across top in four rows with special
crimper (see NOTE), or leave them plain.
Place on lightly greased baking trays and bake in a moderate oven for 20-25
minutes until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
Dip in boiling syrup, four at a time, turning cookies once. Leave in syrup
10 seconds in all, longer if well-soaked cookies are preferred. Lift out
onto a plate and leave until cool.
(If no nut filling is used, sprinkle tops with crushed walnuts or toasted
sesame seeds and cinnamon. Only those which are to be served should be
dipped; store remainder in an airtight container and dip when required.
TO MAKE NUT FILLING: Thin honey down with orange juice and blend into
remaining ingredients.
TO MAKE HONEY SYRUP: Place ingredients in a heavy-based saucepan and stir
over heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and boil over
moderately high heat for 10 minutes and skim. Let syrup boil on a moderate
heat while dipping cookies. Add a little water to syrup when it thickens
too much during dipping.
NOTE: Icing crimpers will be familiar to many pastrycooks and cake
decorators who work with icing. If you don't own a crimper (or have never
seen one), have the family handyman cut a piece of tin or aluminium plate
about 2.5 x 10 cm (1 x 4 inches). Bend metal in half over a thin rod and
cut 6 to 8 evenly spaced saw-like teeth on the narrow edges. Curl the
"teeth" slightly inwards.

MMMMM-----------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
2 c Chopped nuts (or more) *
1/4 c Sugar
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1 Orange (grated rind only)
1/2 lb Commercial filo sheets
1/2 lb Sweet butter; melted
MMMMM------------------------------SYRUP-----------------------------------
2 c Honey
1 c Water
2 c Sugar
1 tb Lemon juice
*Note: Nuts may be walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios or any combination.
Defrost filo to room temperature at least 2 hours before using. Mix
filling in a bowl and set aside. Melt butter in a small pan, and return to
heat when it cools and doesn't flow easily while you are working with filo.
Smooth 3 sheets of filo flat on a cutting board. With a pastry brush,
dribble warm butter between sheets. Sprinkle 2/3 cup of nut filling over
top, spreading to corners. Lay another 3 sheets of filo over filling,
buttering between them. Fold edges over on each side to keep nuts from
rolling out. Starting with the end nearest to you, roll away from you as
tightly as you can. Cut into 1" slices. Place each roll in oiled pan,
next to each other, snugly, nuts facing upwards. Continue using all the
filo and filling. When all the slices are in the pan, dribble a teaspoon

Oil for frying peppers
1 lb Feta cheese
3 tb Oil (olive, what else? K.M.)
Tsouskes are hot spicy peppers. Of course the best is green long peppers
which grow only in Macedonia are extremely hot and very tasty.
You fry them in oil, you peel their skin and you chop them into very small
pieces. How many it depends on how hot they are and how spicy you can eat.
After, you cut about 1 pound of feta in to small pieces and you mix it with
the peppers. Add about 3 table spoons of olive oil. Work all the
ingredients with the fork until it becomes a paste. Be careful: I said with
fork. Not with food processor, not with goudhi. Just FORK. :)
You are all set. Enjoy with bread or crackers as appetizer.

allow to sit while you clean the casings.
Rinse the casings thoroughly in cold water and run fresh water through
them. Drain.
Using a sausage machine, a KitchenAid with a sausage attatchment, or a
sausage funnel, fill the casings and tie them off into about 16" lengths.
Do not fill them too tightly as they must have room to expand when they
cook.
Hang the sausages in a home style smoker and smoke them for abour 1
hour. Do not allow the temperature of the smoker to go above 150 F.
Remove the sausages and hang over a stick or dowel. Put the stick in a

Categories: Breads, Scandinavia
Servings: 6
4 c All purpose flour
1 ts Baking powder
1 tb Sugar
1 tb Melted butter
2 c Milk, heated to boiling
hot fat for frying powdered sugar (optional)
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and sugar. Mix in the butter and
hot milk until a stiff dough is formed. Turn out onto a lightly oiled
surface and knead until smooth and cooled. Divide dough into four parts.
Shape each into a ball. Divide each into 4 parts to make 16, then divide
each of the resulting balls into 2 parts to total 32.
Cover baking sheets with waxed paper and dust the waxed paper lightly with
flour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each part of dough to make a thin
round about 8 inches in diameter. Place the rounds on the floured waxed
paper. Chill 30 minutes.
In a skillet, heat 2 inches of fat to 375 to 400 degrees F. Vegetable
shortening or corn or peanut oil may be used but the authentic fat is lard.
Fold gthe dough rounds, one at the time, into quarters, and, with a
sharp-tipped knife, make little cuts and cut-outs in the dough. Fry the
bread rounds, until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove and
drain on paper toweling. Store in an airtight container in a cool place or
in the freezer until ready to serve.

Title: Imam Bayaldi (Eggplant Stuffed with Aromatics)
Categories: Greek, Vegetarian, Vegetables
Servings: 5
Karen Mintzias
2 1/2 lb Eggplants
Salt
3 md Onions, peeled and sliced
1/2 c Water
5 tb Olive oil
5 Fresh tomatoes, peeled and
- sliced, or: canned plum
8 Tomatoes, sliced
1/2 c Chopped fresh parsley
4 Garlic cloves, peeled and
- sliced
Freshly ground pepper
1 pn Granulated sugar
Fresh parsley for garnish
*Note: 8 canned plum tomatoes, sliced, may be substituted for the 5 fresh.
Wash the eggplants, cut off the stem end if using large ones and cut in
half lengthwise. With the tip of a sharp knife, make at least 3 lengthwise
slashes on the cut sides of the eggplants, being careful not to pierce the
skin on the opposite side. Sprinkle with salt and let stand for 30
minutes. Rinse with cold water, dry, and invert to drain.
Meanwhile, put the onions in a small pan with the 1/2 cup water and simmer
a few minutes. Drain and discard the water or save for soup.
In a medium frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil and saute the onions
until soft, then put approximately a third of them in the bottom of a
buttered casserole large enough to accomodate all the eggplants. Set 4 to 5
tomato slices over the onions in the casserole and add the rest of the
tomatoes to the onion remaining in the frying pan. Saute onions and
tomatoes for 10 minutes, then stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the parsley
and remove from the heat. Set the eggplants into the casserole, tuck a
slice of garlic into each eggplant slash, and stuff the slashes with the
filling, allowing some to cover the top of the eggplant. Season lightly
with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar, then dribble the remaining oil and
chopped parsley over the eggplants. Cover the casserole with a lid or
aluminum foil and bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 30 to 40 minutes,
until fork-tender, removing the cover during the last 10 minutes, to allow
the sauce to thicken. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Note: This is excellent as a first course of a subsequently light meal
topped with fresh fruit and Turkish coffee.
If you wish, you may leave the eggplants whole, slash one side and remove
some of the pulp with a small spoon. This pulp is then sauteed with the
filing and stuffed into the eggplant, a very attractive method for the
smaller eggplants. As you might suspect, both variations may also be
prepared on top of the stove.

on a lightly floured baking sheet and with the palm of your hand flatten
out in a circle 1 1/2 inches thick. With a knife dipped in flour, make a
cross through the center of the bread so that it will easily break into
quarters when it is baked.
Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake
a further 15 minutes.
If the crust seems too hard, wrap the baked bread in a damp tea cloth.
Leave the loaf standing upright until it is cool.
The bread should not be cut until it has set - about 6 hours after it comes

Title: Irish Soda Bread #1
Categories: Breads, Irish
Servings: 8
3 1/2 c Flour
1/2 ts Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Bicarbonate of soda
1 1/4 c Buttermilk: to 2 1/2 c *
* You will need somewhere between these two amounts of buttermilk,
depending on how much liquid your flour tends to absorb. Try to avoid using
regular milk: if you must, use baking powder instead of bicarbonate of
soda. -- Lightly grease a heavy skillet (if making "soda farl", the flat
version of soda bread) or preheat the oven to 450 F (if making "soda cake",
the round, more breadlike version.) Sift the dry ingredients together into
a large bowl; make sure the soda is evenly distributed. Make a well in the
center of the dry mixture and add about half the buttermilk. Stir until you
have a raggy dough that is very squashy but which looks more or less dry.
Add more liquid sparingly until you achieve this texture. Blend until all
the flour has achieved this consistency; then turn out immediately onto a
lightly floured board and knead ***for no more than a minute or a minute
and a half***. Overkneading makes this bread very tough, and it's very easy
to overdo it. If making soda cake, shape the dough into a circle about 8-9
inches across and about an inch and a half thick. Cut a cross about on the
top, about half an inch deep, and place on a floured baking sheet. Bake at
450 F for 45-50 minutes. If making soda farl, shape the dough into a circle
about 9 inches by one inch thick and cut into four wedges or "farls": place
in the preheated skillet, with cut edges about half an inch apart. Cook
slowly on the stovetop over low-to-medium heat: it should take about 20
minutes for the farls to puff up and turn a light brown on the pan side.
Turn them and cook for another 20 minutes. -- For a softer crust on either
soda cake or soda farl, wrap in a dishtowel after baking. -- For more
information on making sodabread and its variations, please see the file

Title: Italian Braised Lamb & Potatoes
Categories: Casserole, Lamb, Italian
Servings: 6
5 tb Olive oil
1 kg Lamb, lean boneless from the
- shoulder cut into 4cm pcs
2 Brown onions
1/2 bn Italian parsley, leaves only
-chopped
3 Garlic cloves crushed
1 Capsicum red, cut into strip
250 ml Lamb or beef stock
500 g Potatoes, peeled & cut into
- 4cm pieces
60 g Pecorino, grated
The potatoes should be yellow, waxy ones, such as Petrones or Desirees.
Heat half the oil in a large heavy pot. Brown lamb well in batches and,
using a slotted spoon, remove to a plate. Add remaining oil. Add onion
and cook until softened. Add parsley, garlic and capsicum. Return lamb
to pot, stir and add stock and freshly ground pepper to taste. (Don't add
salt yet as pecorino is a salty cheese) Reduce heat, cover, and simmer
for 30 minutes.
Add potato and simmer for another 20 minutes, or until lamb is almost
tender. Stir in cheese and cook for 10 minutes. Season with freshly
ground pepper and salt to taste.
Best if cooked 1 - 2 days ahead and refrigerated. Like all casseroles, it
will improve in flavour during the resting period. Great for
entertaining, because it can be cooked well in advance, leaving you free to
get on with the many chores involved in throwing a party.

Title: Italian Easter Bread
Categories: Breads, Italian
Servings: 1
1/4 c Sugar
1 ts Salt
1 pk Dry yeast
2 1/2 To 3-1/2 cups unbleached
-flour
2/3 c Milk
2 tb Butter
2 Eggs, at room temperature
1/2 c Mixed candied fruit
1/3 c Chopped blanched almonds.
1/2 ts Anise seed
2 tb Melted shortening
5 Uncooked eggs colored with
-Easter Egg Dye
ICING:
1 c Confectioner's sugar
1 tb Milk
1/8 ts Vanilla
colored sprinkles
In a large mixing bowl, blend the sugar, salt, and yeast well with 1 cup of
the flour. In a saucepan, combine milk and butter, heating slowly until
liquid is warm and butter is melted. Pour the milk into the dry
ingredients and beat 125 strokes with a wooden spoon. Add eggs and 1/2 cup
flour or enough to make a thick batter. beat vigorously for 2 minutes.
Then stir in enough flour to make a ball of dough that draws away from the
sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a floured board and knead for about 10
minutes, working in additional flour to overcome stickiness. Place the
dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover tightly with
plastic wrap and put in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk
about 1 hour. Meanwhile, combine the fruit,nuts, and anise seed. Punch
down the dough and return it to a lightly floured board. Knead in the
fruit mixture, keeping the syrupy pieces dusted with flour until they are
worked into the dough. Divide the dough in half. Carefully roll each
piece into a 24 inch rope - the fruit and nuts will make this slightly
difficult. Loosely twist the two ropes together and form a ring on a
greased baking sheet. Pinch the ends together well. Brush the dough with
melted shortening. Push aside the twist to make a place for each egg.
Push eggs down carefully as far as possible. Cover the bread with wax
paper and let rise in a warm,draft-free place until double in bulk, about 1
hour. Bake the bread in a preheated 350 F oven for about 35 minutes or
until a toothpick inserted in a twist comes out clean. Place on a wire
rack to cool. Once the bread is cool, drizzle the icing on top between the
eggs, and decorate with colored sprinkles. Makes 1 loaf.

[We made these, and they turned out just fine. They're really an appetizer
or part of a varied buffet - don't try to use them as the entire meal!
They're too strongly flavored for that, and you'll be sick of them by the

affordable and will add flavor and variety.
Chopped parsley for garnish
Saute the leeks, onions, celery, garlic and mushrooms until the onions are
clear. Add the stock, nectar or water, tomato sauce and white wine. Bring
to a heavy simmer and taste. Add the cayenne pepper and salt to taste.
Prepare the seafood and add to the pot, remembering to add first those
things which take longest to cook. The various shellfish go in with the
shells on.
Simmer until done. Serve in large bowls over spaghetti. By adding extra
fish such as a lobster per person this will become a meal instead of a

Title: Italian Sausage
Categories: Italian, Pork
Servings: 6
1 1/2 lb Italian sausage, cut into
Links
1 Oil
1 sm Onion, diced
1 lg Green pepper, diced
3 lg Cloves garlic, sliced
16 cn Tomato sauce or whole
Tomatos, smooshed
6 cn Tomato paste
1 ts Sugar (to cut acidity of
Tomatos)
8 oz Red wine
1 lg Bay leaf
Plenty oregano, basil,
Marjoram
Pinch each thyme, rosemary
Dashes ground fennel, red
Pepper flakes (optional)
Lots Parmesan cheese
6 oz Fresh mushrooms, 1/2'd or
1/4'd
1 2 slices American cheese (I
Know, heretical but good)
Contributed to the echo by: Debra Heng SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE
In a dutch oven, brown the sausages well (still in their casings) in a
little olive oil. Use tongs to remove sausage to top of pot lid. Drain off
fat if necessary, leaving about 1 T in pot. Toss in onion, green pepper and
garlic and stir to coat, scraping up the brown bits from bottom of pot. Let
cook for about 2 minutes, just 'til the onion and pepper begin to soften
(do not brown). Return sausage to pot and stir in tomatos or sauce, paste,
sugar, wine, seasonings and Parmesan. Simmer for 45-60 minutes.
Meanwhile, saute mushrooms in a dab of butter, dash of olive oil, sprinkle
of marjoram or basil and paprika. Add the mushrooms and any juice in the
pan to the saucepan during last 15 minutes of cooking. Add optional
American cheese a few minutes before serving, let melt & stir in. This
really mellows out the sauce.
Tips: You can brown pork shoulder blades or spareribs along with the
sausage. Gives a great flavor and provides a 2nd meat course if you're
having company. Use more or less wine, depending on whether you're using
whole tomatos or sauce. Just aim for a nice thick sauce. Leftovers make
great sausage sandwiches. I freeze mine a lot for quick meals later.

salt and pepper.
* Arborio, an Italian short-grain rice, is available at Italian markets and
some specialty food stores.
In Santa Barbara, California, ALLEGRO offers this fine starter.

Title: Jeff's Favorite Pizza Sauce
Categories: Sauces, Italian, Pizza
Servings: 4
28 oz Canned Progresso Plum
Tomatoes w/Basil, drained
12 oz Tomato paste
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
1/4 ts Onion powder
1 ts Oregano, heaping
3/4 ts Garlic powder
1/8 c Parmesan cheese
1 ts Light brown sugar
2 ts Olive oil
This sauce has a quality similar to restaurant flavor, but being freshly
made seems to take on a better flavor.
Puree the drained tomatoes well. It is important to use Italian Plum
Tomatoes, not regular canned tomatoes. The flavor is distinctively
different. If you cannot find Progresso Plum Tomatoes with basil, add 1/2
ts. basil to the tomatoes.
Place the puree mixture in heavy saucepan. Add remaining ingredients
except for the grated cheese and brown sugar. Simmer 1/2 hour, or longer
if necessary. Add cheese and brown sugar last 10 minutes of cooking. The
canned grated parmesan is good in this recipe, as well as fresh.
Sauce can be frozen if needed.

Title: Jennie Grossinger's Knishes
Categories: Desserts, Potatoes, Jewish
Servings: 24
2 1/2 c Sifted flour
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
2 Eggs
2/3 c Salad oil
2 tb Water
Sift the flour, baking
-powder and salt into a
-bowl. Make a
Well in the center and drop
-the eggs, oil and water
-into
It. Work into the flour
-mixture with the hand and
-knead
Until smooth.
There are two ways to fill
-the knishes. In either
-case,
Divide the dough in two and
-roll as thin as possible.
Brush with oil. Now you can
-spread the filling on one
-side
Of the dough and roll it up,
-like a jelly roll. Cut
-into
5 1/2 Inch slices.
Here's the basics, fillings follow in the next messages.
DOUGH:
Place in an oiled baking sheet cut side down. Press down lightly to
flatten. Or you can cut the rolled dough in 3- inch circles. Place a
tablespoon of the filling on each; draw the edges together and pinch
firmly. Place on an oiled baking sheet, pinched edges up
In either case, bake in a 375 degree oven 35 minutes or until browned.
Makes about 24.
FILLINGS FOR KNISHES
POTATO: 1 cup chopped onions 6 tablespoons chicken fat or butter 2 cups
mashed potatoes 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Brown the onions in the fat or butter. Beat in the potatoes, egg, salt and
pepper until fluffy.
CHEESE 1 1/2 cups diced scallions or onions 4 tablespoons butter 2 cups pot
cheese 1 egg 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons sour
cream
Scallions are better than onions for this, so try to get them. Brown the
scallions in the butter and beat in the cheese, egg, salt, pepper and sour
cream until smooth.
MEAT: 1/2 cup minced onions 2 tablespoons chicken fat 1 1/2 cups ground
cooked meat 1/2 cup cooked rice 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Lightly brown the onions in the fat. Add the meat, rice, egg, salt and
pepper, mixing until smooth.
CHICKEN 1 1/2 cups ground cooked chicken 3/4 cup mashed potatoes 1 egg, 1
teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Mix all the ingredients until smooth.
And finally, the classic:
POTATO-DOUGH KNISHES
1/4 cup minced onions 6 tablespoons chicken fat or butter 4 cups mashed
potatoes 1/2 cup potato flour 3 eggs 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Brown the onions in 4 tablespoons chicken fat or butter. Cool.
Knead together the remaining fat or butter, the pota- toes, potato flour,
eggs, salt and pepper. Break off pieces (about 2 inches long) and flatten
slightly. Place a tea- spoon of browned onions on each and cover by
pinching the edges together. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a 375
degree oven 25 minutes. Makes about 20.

Title: Jewish "Corn" Bread (1 of 2)
Categories: Jewish, Breads
Servings: 2
1 1/2 c Water,warm (110 degree)
1 pk Yeast, dry
1/2 ts Sugar
4 ts Salt
3 c Rye sourdough starter
Measured after stirring down
At room temperature.
2 c Flour, gluten
3 1/2 c Flour, all-purpose or as
Needed.
Cornmeal (for sprinkling
The baking sheets)
GLAZE:
1 Egg white beaten with 2 tbs
Water.
OPTIONAL TOPPING:
2 ts Chernushka (black caraway)
Seeds.
You can buy chernushka "black caraway" in some health food stores or from
mail-order. They are nothing like the familiar caraway seeds. This bread is
a New York specialty, usually made in bakeries.
1. Combine 1/2 cup of the warm water, the yeast and sugar and let stand
until doubled in bulk, about 10 minutes. 2. Dissolve the salt in the
remaining warm water in a mixing bowl. Mix in the sourdough starter, then
the yeast mixture, then the gluten flour and 2 cups of the all-purpose
flour; make a soft dough. 3. Spread 1 1/2 cups flour on the kneading
surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead, adding more flour if
necessary to make a soft dough that will hold its shape. Do not overknead..
the dough should be only slightly elastic, even a bit sticky. 4. Form the
dough into a ball and put in an ungreased bowl; cover with plastic, and let
rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. 5. Turn the dough out onto a
lightly flour surface and knead it a few strokes to expel air. Cover with a
towel and let rest for 15 minutes. 6. Divide the dough in half. Form each
half into a loaf by flattening in to an inch-thick oval about 12 inches
long, then rolling it up from one long side. Pinch the seam closed. Shape
the ends of the oval loaves neatly and plce them on two cornmeal-dusted
baking sheets, seam down. Cover with towels and let rise until
"three-quarters proofed," or not fully doubled.

Servings: 2
No ingredients
7. While the loaves are rising, set a large roasting pan containing 2
inches of boiling water on the oven floor (or the lowest shelf of an
electric oven) and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 8. Brush the loaves
with egg-white glaze, being careful not to let the glaze drip onto the pan,
as it sticks and burns. With a single-edged razor blade or a small, sharp
knife, cut three diagonal slashes, holding the blade almost parallel to the
surface, about 1/4 inch deep on each loaf. Sprinkle the loaves with "black
caraway" or caraway seeds, if you like. 9. Bake for 30 minutes on the
middle and upper shelves of the oven, then brush again with glaze, exchange
shelf positions, and remove the water pan. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes
longer, or until there is a hollow sound when you rap the bottom of the
loaf. 10. Cool the bread on racks.
There is no historical or etymological theory for the term, "corn" in this
bread.

Title: Joululimppa (Finnish Holiday Rye Bread)
Categories: Breads, Scandinavia, Finnish
Servings: 6
2 c Buttermilk
1/2 c Molasses
1/4 c Butter or margarine
2 ts Salt
1 ts Fennel seeds
1 ts Caraway seeds
2 tb Dry yeast
1/2 c Warm water
Grated rind of 1 orange
1 c Rye flakes or wheat germ
2 c Dark or light rye flour
3 1/2 To 4 1/2 cups uncleached
-white or whole wheat flour
Glaze:
1 tb Molasses
2 tb Water
Similar to Swedish rye. Can be toasted.
Heat the buttermilk, molasses, butter or margarine, salt, fennel seeds, and
caraway seeds until the butter melts. Set aside to cool.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let it stand for 5 minutes until the
yeast bubbles. ((My comment: whisk in some flour and molasses to nourish
the yeast.)) Add the yeast to the cooled buttermilk mixture along with the
grated orange rind, rye flakes or wheat germ, and rye flour. Beat well
until smooth. Add 3 to 3 1/2 cups of wheat flour, stirring in a cup at a
time, until the dough will not readily absorb more flour. The dough will
be rough.
Flour a work surface with the remaining wheat flour and turn the dough out
onto it. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
(The gluten in rye is more fragile than in wheat. It needs a resting time
to recuperate and reform and does not require as vigorous or lengthy a
kneading).
Gently knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes until smooth. Form the dough
into a ball and place it in a large buttered bowl or pot, turning it to
coat all sides with butter. Cover it and let it rise, in a warm spot,
until doubled in size, about an hour.
Punch down the dough and gently knead it for one minute. Form the dough
into three round loaves and place in lightly buttered 9-inch cake pans or
on buttered baking sheets. Cover and let rise until almost doubled in
size, 45 minutes to an hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the water and molasses, brush the
tops with half of this mixture to glaze. Then lightly pierce the loaves all
over with a fork.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the bread sopunds hollow when tapped on
the bottom. While the bread is hot, brush it with the remaining glaze.
Remove the loaves from the pans and cool on racks.
Yields 3 loaves.

1 ts Finely chopped dill
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 lg Eggs

The Turks' appreciation of the fair sex is apparent even in the naming of
recipes. Form the meat mixture with a certain voluptousness to an
elongated egg shape. Don't make them too plump - we all like to be
flattered, don't we?
Cooking time: about 20-25 minutes in all
Combine meat, boiled rice, onion and cheese, then pass through meat grinder
using fine screen. Add herbs, salt and pepper to taste and 1 lightly
beaten egg. Mix by hand to a smooth paste.
Take a generous tablespoon of the mixture and form into an elongated egg
shape, wider at one end than the other, or into simpler torpedo shape.
Moisten hand with water to facilitate handling. Place kadin budu into
baking dish side by side as they are finished.
Beat remaining egg well and pour over kadin budu, then turn them over in a
dish to coat them evenly with a film of egg.
Place about 1/2 cup flour in a plate and roll budu in flour, one at a time,
placing them into a frying pan of heated oil as they are coated. Use one
hand for rolling them in the flour, keep other hand dry for moving them to
the pan.
Fry over high heat until golden brown, turning them frequently with tongs
so that they keep their shape.
Drain on paper towels and serve hot with vegetable or salad accompaniment.

2 c Granulated sugar
1 1/2 c Water
1/2 Lemon; strained juice only
MMMMM---------------------------CHOUX PASTRY--------------------------------
1 c Plain flour
1/4 ts Salt
1 c Water
1/4 c Butter
2 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
1/8 ts Almond essence
MMMMM----------------------------TO FINISH---------------------------------
Oil; for shaping and frying
Whipped cream or kaymak
-(kaymak is clotted cream)
1/4 c Blanched pistachio nuts
-(finely chopped)
The name and finished dish are colourfully Turkish, while the basic dough
is very definitely French. Though the ingredient proportions differ from
the traditional formula, it is choux pastry nonetheless, prepared in the
Turkish manner.
In a heavy pan dissolve sugar in water over medium heat, stirring
occasionally. Bring to the boil, add lemon juice and boil rapidly, without
stirring, for 15 minutes. Leave syrup in pan to cool.
Sift flour and salt onto a square of stiff paper.
In another heavy pan heat water and butter until boiling. Pour in flour
all at once, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or balloon whisk. Keep
stirring until mixture leaves sides of pan, then cook on low heat, stirring
occasionally, for further 5 minutes. Remove roux from heat and turn into a
bowl. Cool for 2 minutes then gradually beat in eggs. Add almond essence
and beat until smooth and satiny. A balloon whisk will break up lumps, a
wooden spoon is better for beating to a smooth finish, so utilize the two
for the process.
Oil hands and take pieces of dough the size of a walnut. Roll into smooth
balls and place on an oiled tray. Flatten into rounds about 5 cm (2
inches) in diameter and press oiled forefinger into centre of each to make
a hole. Keep hands oiled during shaping so that dough will not stick.
Place enough oil in a large electric frypan to come to a depth of 1 cm (1/2
inch). Heat until just warm and place half of the prepared gobegi into
oil. Increase heat to 200°C (400°F) as soon as they are added. When
gobegi rise to the surface and are puffed, turn them over. Fry them for 15
minutes in all, timed from when the gobegi are first placed into pan. Turn
frequently during last half of cooking time so that they brown evenly.
When cooked, remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on
paper towels. Put into syrup, turn them and leave for 5 minutes before
removing to a plate.
Turn off frypan and allow oil to cool before adding second lot.
To serve, arrange gobegi on a flat platter and place a dollop of whipped
cream or kaymak in the center. Sprinkle with pistachio nuts.
NOTE: If you have no electric frypan, use a large frying pan set on a
thermostatically controlled hot plate or burner. Otherwise use an ordinary
burner, start at low and increase heat to midway between medium and high
settings.
Variation: Dilber Dudagi (Lips of the Beauty) Follow above directions, but
flatten the balls of dough in your hand to a 6 cm (2-1/2 inch) round and
fold dough over so that pastry resembles lips on curved edge. Place on an
oiled tray until all are shaped. Fry and finish as for Kadin Gobegi. Serve
plain or with whipped cream or kaymak.

2 Eggs; separated
1/2 c Granulated sugar
2 tb Butter; melted
4 tb Milk (or more)
2 c All-purpose flour
1 pn Salt
1 ts Vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar
For the filling, combine the cheeses, lightly beaten egg yolks, sugar, 1/2
teaspoon cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl. The mixture should be thick
enough to mound, but not stiff; add 1 tablespoon milk, if necessary. Set
aside while you make the dough.
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl, then cut in the butter and mix by
rubbing between your fingers. Mix in the vanilla, egg whites, and enough
milk to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, then break off
small pieces and roll as thin of a dime. (The dough will be elastic and
can be rolled easily.) Cut into circles 4-inches in diameter (teacup
size), then on each circle place a teaspoon of the cheese filling. Wet the
circle edge with water or milk and fold over to form a half-moon, then seal
with the tines of a fork or pastry wheel. Arrange the Kaltisounia on
buttered cookie sheets and bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 25 minutes,
or until the pastry puffs up and turns a light chestnut color. Remove from
the oven, and place on racks, and dust with confectioners' sugar and
cinnamon. Serve hot or cold.

(7 oz)
30 g Plain bread crumbs (1 oz)
1 Egg
30 g Butter (2 Tbsp)
Salt and pepper to taste
This refers to dumplings made from boiled potatoes which is the traditional
Swabian method. Dumplings made from raw potatoes originated in Bavaria and
reached Swabian kitchens relatively late.
Beat the butter and egg until fluffy. Add the cold, grated, boiled
potatoes, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper, and knead well. Depending on how
watery the potatoes are, flour may be substituted for the bread crumbs in
order to get a dough that is neither too firm not to pasty.
Form dumplings, and cook in barely simmering salted water for 15 minutes.
Serve immediately, while still piping hot.
These dumplings are also very popular as a main dish, with brown gravy.
Serves 4.

Title: Kataifi (Shredded Nut Pastries)
Categories: Greek, Desserts
Servings: 40
Karen Mintzias
500 g Kataifi pastry
1 c Butter; melted
MMMMM---------------------------NUT FILLING--------------------------------
1 c Coarsely ground walnuts
1 c Coarsely ground almonds
1/2 c Caster sugar
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Ground cloves
1 Egg white; lightly beaten
1 tb Brandy
MMMMM------------------------------SYRUP-----------------------------------
2 c Sugar
1 1/2 c Water
1 ts Lemon juice
1 Thin strip of lemon rind
4 Cloves
1 Piece cinnamon bark
1 tb Honey
Makes: 40 pieces Oven temperature: 180 C (350 F) Cooking time: 50-55
minutes
Take an eighth of the pastry strands and spread out on a board to a 18 x 25
cm (7 x 10 inch) rectangle with strands running roughly lengthwise. Using a
pastry brush, dab some butter over strands. Combine nut filling
ingredients and spread about 2 tablespoons of filling along one narrow
edge. Roll up firmly into a neat roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Place rolls close together in a 20 x 30 cm (8 x 12 inch) slab cake pan or
baking dish. Brush top with remaining butter. Bake in a moderate oven,
one shelf above centre, for 50-55 minutes until golden brown.
Meanwhile, dissolve sugar in water over heat, add lemon juice and rind,
cloves and cinnamon. Bring to the boil and boil over medium heat for 10
minutes. Stir in honey, strain and cool. Pour cooled syrup over hot
pastries and place a folded cloth on top. Leave until cool. Cut each roll
into 5 pieces diagonally if preferred.
ALTERNATIVE SHAPING: Take a small handful of pastry strands and spread out
fairly compactly on board. Have strands running towards you as much as
possible and dab with butter. Mould a tablespoon of nut filling into a
short sausage shape and place on one end. Roll up firmly into a neat roll
and place in baking dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Makes about
30 rolls each about 5 cm (2 inches) long. Bake as directed above, prepare
syrup and finish as in previous recipe.

Karen Mintzias
MMMMM-------------------------CUSTARD FILLING------------------------------
4 c Milk
3/4 c Cornflour
4 Eggs; beaten
1 pn Salt
1/2 c Sugar
1 ts Vanilla essence
MMMMM--------------------------KATAIFI CRUST-------------------------------
500 g Kataifi (shredded pastry)
3/4 c Unsalted butter; melted
MMMMM------------------------------SYRUP-----------------------------------
2 c Sugar
1 1/2 c Water
1 Thin strip lemon rind
1 Piece of cinnamon bark
3 ts Lemon juice
Oven temperature: 190 C (375 F) Cooking time: 1 hour
Combine milk and cornflour in a heavy pan. Blend in beaten eggs and add
salt and sugar. Place over medium heat and stir constantly until thickened
and bubbling. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla essence and cover top of
custard with buttered paper to prevent a skin forming.
Place kataifi in a large bowl and gently separate strands with fingers.
Grease a 20 x 28 cm (8 x 11 inch) oven dish with some of the butter. Put
half the kataifi in the base, pressing it down to make it compact. Drizzle
1/4 cup butterr evenly over it. Pour custard filling over kataifi,
spreading it evenly. Top with remaining kataifi. Spread evenly and pat
down gently. Pour remaining melted butter evenly over top. Bake in a
moderately hot oven for 45 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven
and leave until cool.
Dissolve sugar in water over medium heat, add lemon rind and cinnamon bark
and bring to the boil. Add lemon juice and boil over medium heat for 15
minutes, skimming when necessary. Do not stir once syrup is boiling.
Strain hot syrup over cooled pastry. Leave until cold and cut into diamond
shapes to serve.
Note: The previous recipe is the traditional way in which this dessert is
made. As the custard and syrup soften the kataifi, many good cooks use the
following method for a crisp finish:
Prepare the syrup as directed above and leave until cool. Place the
kataifi in a bowl and loosen stands. Pour on 1/2 cup melted, unsalted
butter and mix with fingers to coat strands. Spread kataifi in two
buttered 20 x 28 cm (8 x 11 inch) straight-sided oven dishes and press down
to make it compact. Bake in a moderately hot oven for 20-25 minutes until
golden - take care that it does not become too brown. Remove from the oven
and pour cooled syrup evenly over hot kataifi in each dish. Cover each dish
with a tea towel so that kataifi softens slightly, otherwise it will be
difficult to cut. Make custard as directed in previous recipe and pour
while hot onto kataifi in one dish. Invert other dish of kataifi on top of
the custard. Leave uncovered until cool, then cut into diamond shapes to
serve.

Salt & freshly ground pepper
16 Commercial filo sheets
6 tb Butter (or more); melted
3 Hard-boiled eggs; quartered
On the island of Kefallinia in the Ionion Sea, the Feast Day of Analipseos
(Ascension Day) is celebrated with the traditional "kreatopita" (meat-pie).
This spicy pie also ushers in the beginning of Lent on the day of Apokreas.
In a stock pot, cover the lamb bones with cold water. Simmer, covered for 1
hour. Strain, boil down to 1 cup, and set aside. Sprinkle the lemon juice
on the lamb cubes. Heat the oil or butter in a heavy pan, add the onions
and lamb, and saute the meat on all sides until the onions are soft without
browning. Pour the onions, lamb, and juices into a large bowl. Add the
diced potatoes and carrot, rice, tomato puree, cheese, parsley, mint,
oregano, garlic, cinnamon, and fruit peel and season with salt and freshly
ground pepper. Add enough reserved lamb broth for liquid while pie bakes,
then mix with a wooden spoon.
Butter the bottom and sides of a 9 x 12 x 3 inch pan. Spread 8 filo sheets,
brushing the melted butter in between the sheets, making sure the pastry
fits the sides and bottom of the pan. Pour in the filling, spreading evenly
with a spatula. Place the egg quarters here and there across the top and
cover with the remaining filo sheets, brushing with butter as before. Flute
the edges with two fingers or a fork and brush the top with butter. Using a
sharp knife, score the top 3 filo sheets into square or diamond shapes, or
prick the homemade pastry with a fork. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes in
moderately slow oven (325 F), raising the temperature to 350 F during the
last 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand on a rack for 15
minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand on a rack for 15 minutes. Cut
into diamonds or squares and serve warm.

1/2 c Cilantro; Finely Chopped
Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl and make a well in the middle.
Pour in the egg, oil, and club soda and stir into the flour, adding more
club soda if necessary, ot make a rather soft dough. Transfer the dough to
a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape
the dough into a ball, cover with a linen or cotton (not terry cloth)
kitchen towel and let stand for 1 hour. Divide the dough into four parts
and shape each one into a ball. Let stand, covered, for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F. and butter two large baking sheets. On
a floured surface, roll out one of the balls into an 1/8-inch thick square.
Brush the dough with some of the melted butter Dip your fingers into the
melted butter and pull the edges of the dough in different directions,
stretching it evenly until it is almost transparently thin. Don't worry if
the dough tears, as you will be folding it up. With a sharp knife, trim
the edges of the dough to from an even square. Fold the square in half,
brush the surface generously with the melted d fold in half again crosswise
to from a smaller square. It should be approximately 6 to 7 inches. It is
isn't, pull it out slightly to fit the dimensions. Brush the square with
butter. Shape one-fourth of the filling into a ball and place in the
center of the square. Fold in the corners of the square like an envelope.
With the palm of your hand, flatten the pie so it is about 1 inch thick.
Brush the top with melted butter and carefully transfer to a prepared
baking sheet. Repeat the procedure with the rest of the dough and filling.
Bake the pies in the middle of the oven, until golden brown, about 35
minutes. Serve warm.
Makes 4 Pies for 8 Servings
RED BEAN FILLING:
Drain the beans and place them in a saucepan along with enough fresh water
to cover by at least 2-inches. Bring to a boil and add salt, then reduce
the heat to medium-low. Cook the beans, partially covered, until almost
mushy, about 1 1/2 hours. While the beans are cooking, heat the oil in a
medium size skillet, over medium heat, and add the onion to saute it. Stir
occasionally, until dark brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. When the beans are
done, drain well and mash. Add the sauteed onions and their cooking fat
and the cilantro. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black
pepper. Cool to room temperature.
Makes enough filling for 4 pies.

Categories: Pasta, German
Servings: 4
500 g Flour (4 1/2 cups less 1
-Tbsp)
5 Eggs
1 c Water
Salt
Combine all ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth. One part at a
time, force through a spaetzle shaver and let drop straight into boiling
water. As soon as the spaetzle rise to the surface, remove them with a
slotted spoon and rinse in warm water.
In olden days, the spaetzle dough was forced through a three- legged sieve,
by means of stirring. This resulted in the so- called 'Knoepfle' (little
buttons). Another method - more common in the Wuertemberg area - is to put
the dough on a wooden board and scraping off small slivers of dough, which
then results in elongated spaetzle, similar to the ones produced by a
spaetzle press.

Categories: Appetizers, Ground beef, Swedish
Servings: 8
1/2 c Unseasoned bread crumbs
1/2 c Half and half cream
4 tb Unsalted butter
1/4 c Minced white onions
1/3 lb Ground beef
1/3 lb Ground veal
1/3 lb Ground pork
1 lg Egg
1/8 ts Freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 ts Salt (or to taste)
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1. Soak the bread crumbs in the half and half for 5 minutes in a large
mixing bowl.
2. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet over low to moderate
heat. When the foam starts to subside, add the onions and saute them for
about 2 minutes. Let cool slightly.
3. Add the beef, veal, pork, egg nutmeg, salt, pepper, and onions to the
bread-crumb mixture. Gently combine the ingredients with your hands.
4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for a couple of hours.
5. Shape the meat mixture with your hands into uniform 2/3-inch balls.
Arrange them on a plate in one layer so they do not touch each other. Let
the meatballs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
6. Melt the remaining butter in a saute pan or skillet over moderate heat.
When the foam starts to subside, add the meatballs. (Do not crowd the pan;
unless your pan is oversized, you will have to cook gthe meatballs in
batches and keep the cooked ones warm in a preheated 200 degree F oven.)

Title: Kolache Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Entertain, Polish
Servings: 6
2 c Flour
8 oz Cream cheese
1/2 lb Butter
1 Egg
2 ts Sugar
Nut Filling
1/2 lb Ground walnuts
1 Egg white, beaten
1 c Sugar or honey
1/2 ts Almond extract
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
Sift the flour and sugar together. Work in the butter, cream cheese and
egg. Knead together. And easy way to do this is to put the dough inside a
plastic bag - much less messy! Let the dough stand in the refrigerator
overnight. About a half hour before you're ready to start making the
cookies, put the dough into the freezer.
For the filling, mix all of the above ingredients together. You can also
used canned poppy seed filling (Solo brand) or an apricot or prune filling.
Spread flour and powdered sugar onto the surface where you will be rolling
the dough. Roll the dough out thin. Cut into squares about 2 inches on each
side. It's easiest to cut if you use a pizza cutter. Spread a small amount
of filling (1/2 to 1 tsp) from one corner to the opposite corner. Don't
fill them too much, or the filling will spill out when it is cooking. Fold
the two remaining corners to the center, partially covering the filling.
Wet your fingertip in a small bowl of water, and seal the edge, or it may
open up during the cooking.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 13 minutes.
Makes 6 dozen small cookies.

8 Fillo pastry sheets
1/4 c Unsalted butter; melted
2 c Granulated sugar
1 c Water
1 Thin strip orange rind
1 Thin strip lemon rind
2 ts Lemon juice
2 Pieces cinnamon bark
Cream butter and sugar with grated orange rind until light and fluffy; beat
in egg yolks. Sift flour and salt into butter mixture to form a soft
dough.
Lightly grease a round 20 cm (12 inch) dish (a "tapsi") or a 25 x 30 cm (10
x 12 inch) baking dish. As pastry moulds easily any tears can be pressed
together. An alternative is to put pastry in dish without rolling, and
press it over base and sides with fingers. Even out by rolling with a
straight-sided glass.
Bake in a moderately hot oven for 15-20 minutes until lightly coloured.
Remove and cool.
To make almond filling, beat egg yolks, sugar and almond essence until
thick and light. Sift flour with baking powder and combine with ground
almonds. Fold this lightly into beaten egg yolks. Beat egg whites with
salt until stiff but not dry and fold lightly into almond mixture. Pour
into pastry-lined dish.
On a flat surface butter a fillo pastry sheet, top with another and butter.
Continue until all sheets are used. Leave a top sheet unbuttered. Lift
onto top of almond filling and trim edges of fillo in line with pastry
crust, using kitchen scissors. Brush top with remaining butter. With a
sharp knife or razor blade make slits through the top 2 or 3 sheets running
the length of the dish and spacing them 4 cm (1 1/2 inches) apart.
Bake in a moderate oven for 45 minutes until top is golden and filling is
set. Meanwhile dissolve sugar in water over medium heat, add fruit rinds,
lemon juice and cinnamon bark and bring to the boil. Boil for 10 minutes,
strain and cool. When torte is cooked, cut through slits in pastry down to
the bottom crust. Pour cooled syrup over hot torte, leave until cool. Cut
diagonally to give diamond-shaped pieces for serving.

1 c Unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 c Confectioners' sugar
1/2 tb Finely grated lemon peel
1 pn Salt
8 tb Unsalted butter
- cut into small pieces
2 Egg yolks
1 ts Vanilla extract
MMMMM-----------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
8 tb Unsalted butter
- at room temperature
1/3 c Honey
5 Egg yolks
1 1/2 c Ground blanched almonds
2 Lemons; juiced
1/4 c Heavy cream
1/2 c Superfine sugar
1/2 c -Water
1 Lemon; juiced
MMMMM---------------------------FOR SERVING--------------------------------
Confectioners' sugar; sifted
To make the pastry, sift the flour and confectioners' sugar into a large
cold bowl, stir in the grated lemon zest and salt, and add the butter.
Quickly and lightly rub the mixture together with your fingers until it
resembles coarse meal. Beat the egg yolks and vanilla together and stir
into the flour mixture. Pull the dough together into a ball with your
fingers, adding cold water only if necessary to make a soft dough. Tightly
cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375 F.
Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the pastry to fit a 9- to 10-inch
tart pan with a removable bottom. To transfer the pastry, wrap it around
the rolling pin, lift above the pan, and unroll over the rim. With your
thumb and knuckle, gently press the pastry into the pan, then roll the
rolling pin over the rim to trim the edges. Line with aluminum foil and
bake 6 to 8 minutes or until just set. Set aside, and lower the oven
temperature to 325 F.
To make the filling, beat the butter and honey with an electric mixer or by
hand until pale and creamy. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time. Then
stir in the almonds, the juice of 2 lemons (reserve the zest, removed in
thin strips), and the cream. Pour into the pastry shell and lightly smooth
the top with a spatula. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown and
set.
Meanwhile, combine the superfine sugar, reserved lemon zest, and water in a
sugar pan or small heavy saucepan. Slowly bring to a boil, then simmer 6
minutes or until the syrup lightly coats the back of a metal spoon. Set
aside to cool slightly.
Add the remaining lemon juice to the barely warm syrup and strain,
reserving the zest. Pour the syrup over the warm pie, remove from the pan,
and liberally sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and the reserved zest.
Serve immediately.
Note: To make the pastry in the food processor, chill the processor bowl
and metal blade in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Working very quickly,
process the flour, sugar, lemon zest, and butter until the mixture
resembles coarse meal. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and pulse just to
mix. (It is unlikely that you will need to add water.) Wrap and
refrigerate.

shake the pan, and continue cooking over low heat. Stir in the tomatoes
and tomato paste, slip the cinnamon and cloves in among the pieces, and
cover. Simmer over the lowest possible heat for 1-1/2 hours, or until the

1 Chicken, stewed
1/4 c Butter or margarine
1/4 c All-purpose flour
2 1/2 c Chicken broth/stock; warmed
1/4 c Milk, optional
3 Eggs; lightly beaten
3/4 c Grated cheese *(see note)
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1 ts Grated nutmeg
Thyme or mint leaves;chopped
12 Commercial filo sheets
*Note: Suggested cheeses are either Mizithra or Kefalotyri. If
unavailable, Parmesan or Romano could be substituted. :-(
Remove the bones and skin from chicken and discard. With your fingers tear
the chicken into strips, not too small. Set aside while you prepare the
sauce. Melt the 4 T butter in a heavy pan, then blend in the flour,
without scorching, over medium heat. Remove from the heat for a minute and
stir in the warm broth, then return to the heat and cook gently until the
sauce boils. Cool. Mix in the milk if the sauce seems too thick, then add
the eggs, cheese, a little salt, pepper, nutmeg, and thyme.
Butter a 9 x 12 x 3-inch baking pan and in it spread 6 filo sheets,
brushing each with melted butter. Pour in the chicken filling, then cover
with the remaining filo sheets. Tuck the top filo over the bottom and
flute the edges. Score the top 3 filo sheets with a sharp knife. Bake in
a moderate oven (350 F) for 40 minutes, or until crisp and golden chestnut
in color. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes before cutting
into 9 to 12 squares. Serve warm. (Serves 9 to 12)
Note: In Epirus, Kotopita is sometimes made with a large amount of onions.
If you would like to try it, use the recipe above plus 1 pound of Spanish-
type onions. Peel and slice the onions, boil in water for 5 minutes, and
drain. Prepare the sauce without the cheese and bake the chicken and
onions in the sauce, between homemade filo, preferably, or commercial filo.

Title: Kouloura Rolls and Buns
Categories: Greek, Breads
Servings: 1
Karen Mintzias
2 tb Dry or cake yeast
1/2 c Warm water
2 c Milk; warm
3 tb Sugar; -OR-
5 tb Sugar; if making Koulourakia
3 tb Butter, margarine or oil
3/4 ts Salt
7 c All-purpose flour; unsifted
1 Egg
MMMMM-----------------------------TOPPING----------------------------------
1 Egg yolk
1/4 c Sesame seeds
Melt yeast in warm water. Set aside. Bring milk to boil. Add sugar,
butter and salt. Allow milk to cool slightly.
Put flour in a large bowl leaving about a tablespoon of it in the measuring
cup for hands and make a hole in the center. Pour liquid into it. Add
yeast and egg. Start mixing with spoon or paddle, pushing flour from all
sides into center. Dough will be sticky until flour is absorbed. Begin
kneading dough in the bowl and then transfer it to a lightly floured board.
Continue kneading until dough is smooth and elastic, about 20 minutes.
Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with towel dampened with hot water.
Set aside in a warm place to rise until bulk has doubled, about 4 hours.
Punch down in the middle. Knead for a few minutes and shape into a round
loaf or into individual rolls (see below). Using fingers, rub top with egg
yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place in greased baking pans. Let
rise once more, uncovered, in a warm place, approximately 1 hour.
Bake in preheated oven at 375 F for 45 minutes. Remove from oven; allow to
cool 10 minutes before removing bread from pan.
To Shape Traditional KOULOURA: Divide dough into 3 long ropes. Braid
together. Place braid in a greased tube pan or a large round baking pan.
Stretch dough to make ends meet. Use egg yolk to stick ends together.
To Shape KOULOURAKIA Rolls: Pinch off pieces of dough. Roll on board with
the palms of your hands to make a rope 6" long. Twist it into a hairpin,
coil the ends around each other and stick the tips together with a dab of
egg yolk. Or coil it like a snake, round and round; or roll into small
round balls using the palms of your hands. Do not flatten or press down as
you roll.

Categories: Greek, Cookies
Servings: 70
Karen Mintzias
1 c Butter
1 c Caster sugar
1 ts Vanilla essence
3 Eggs
5 c Plain flour
3 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Ground cloves
1/4 c Milk
1/2 c Toasted sesame seeds
Makes: 70 Cooking time: 15-20 minutes Oven temperature: 190 C (375 F)
Cream butter and sugar with vanilla essence until light and fluffy. Beat
eggs, reserve 1 tablespoon for glazing and add remainder gradually to
butter mixture, beating well.
Sift dry ingredients twice. Stir into creamed mixture alternately with
milk to form a soft dough. Knead lightly until smooth. If dough is
sticky, chill for 1 hour.
Scatter some sesame seeds lightly on one side of pastry board. Shape
pieces of dough into thick pencil shapes and roll onto the sesame seeds to
coat lightly or according to taste. Double over rolled dough and twist, or
form into rings, figure eights or coils. Place on greased baking sheets
and glaze with reserved egg beaten with a little milk. Bake in a moderate
oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack and store
in an airtight container.
Variation: Roll dough in granulated sugar instead of seeds. Glaze lightly
with milk.

Title: Kourambiedes
Categories: Cookies, Greek
Servings: 50
Karen Mintzias
1 c Sweet butter
1/2 c Powdered sugar
1 Egg yolk
2 tb Brandy or Cognac, (optional)
1 ts Almond extract
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 ts Baking powder
2 1/4 c Sifted cake flour; (or more)
3/4 c Ground almonds; toasted
1 lb Powdered sugar; sifted
In electric mixing bowl, whip the sweet butter until it is fluffy and
white. Continuing to beat on medium speed, gradually add the 1/2 cup
powdered sugar, egg yolk, and flavorings.
Meanwhile, sift the baking powder with the flour and gradually add to
the batter, mixing by hand and working the flour thoroughly into the
mixture before adding more. Mix in ground almonds. Knead until a soft,
buttery dough is formed that will stay together when a little is rolled in
the palms of your hands. Break off pieces slightly larger than a walnut,
then roll into balls, half-moons, or S-curves. Place on cookie sheets
allowing an inch between each. Bake on the center rack of a 350-degree
oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden colored, not chestnut. Remove
from the oven and carefully lift each Kourambie and place on a generous
layer of sifted powdered sugar. Immediately sift more powdered sugar over
to cover Kourambiedes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before lifting
and rolling to be sure they are evenly coated. May be served in individual
fluted paper cups.

Title: Koushari (Lentils, Macaroni and Rice in Oil)
Categories: Egyptian, Vegetarian
Servings: 6
Karen Mintzias
1 c Ads iswid (brown lentils)
Water
Salt
1 c Small macaroni noodles
1 c Short grain rice
2 tb Olive oil
1 c Tomato puree
MMMMM----------------------------TA'LEYA II---------------------------------
2 lg Onions
1/4 c Olive oil
1 Garlic clove (or more)
-- finely chopped
This is classed as an 'oil' dish by Coptic Egyptians and is prepared during
periods of fasting when animal products cannot be taken. You may cook the
lentils, macaroni and rice simultaneously in 3 pots, or if, like me, you
like to keep pots to a minimum, use the method given. This is the way they
prepare it in Egypt anyway.
Place lentils in a sieve and wash well under running water. Place in a
large pot and add 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to the boil,
then simmer for 1 hour until tender but still intact. Drain and keep
aside.
Clean same pot and add 4 cups water. Bring to the boil, add 2 teaspoons
salt and the macaroni. Stir constantly until water returns to the boil and
cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes until tender. Stir occasionally. Drain and
keep aside. Clean pot again and dry.
Wash rice well in sieve under running water and drain. Heat oil in pot and
fry rice over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add 2 cups water and 1 teaspoon
salt and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Cover and simmer over
low heat for 15 minutes or until tender. Leave covered off the heat for 5
minutes for grains to separate.
Prepare the ta'leya (directions below), add tomato puree and bring to the
boil.
Add lentils and macaroni to cooked rice and toss together lightly with a
fork. Pour hot ta'leya and tomato mixture on top, toss again and cover
pot. Leave over low heat for 10 minutes. Serve hot.
TA'LEYA: Halve peeled onions lengthwise then slice thinly to give
semicircles. Heat olive oil in a pan, add onions and fry over medium heat
until golden brown. Add garlic and cook a minute longer.

3 tb Butter or margarine
2 Shallots or onions; minced
1 lb Lean ground lamb or beef
1/2 c Dry white wine
3 Sprigs fresh parsley;chopped
1 tb Chopped fresh mint or dill
1/2 c Tomato sauce
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1/2 c Grated cheese*
1 Egg; lightly beaten
1 tb Bread crumbs; if necessary
1 lb Commercial filo sheets
1 c Butter; melted
*Note: Suggested cheeses for this recipe are Greek kefalotyri or Parmesan.
Heat the 3 tablespoons butter or margarine and cook the shallots until
soft, then add the meat and mash with a fork over medium heat until the
color changes. Add the wine and simmer a few minutes. Stir in the herbs
and tomato sauce; season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for 20
minutes. Cool. Add the cheese and egg, and if the mixture is very liquid,
stir in the bread crumbs immediately before stuffing.
Filo sheets should be unrolled flat, and cut into thirds (3 x 11 inches).
Pile up the filo, covering it with waxed paper and a damp towel. Take out
one sheet at a time and keep the rest covered. Butter the filo, one sheet
at a time, using a pastry brush and the 1 cup melted butter. Place 1
teaspoon of the meat filling 1 inch from the end nearest you. Fold the
filo back over the filling so the bottom edge meets the left edge, forming
a right angle. Continue folding back at right angles to make the triangular
shape. Place on baking sheets and keep covered until all are ready to
bake. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) for 20 to 25 minutes or until
golden and crisp, turning once. Serve hot.

Categories: Cookies, Italian
Servings: 48
1 c Unsalted butter
2/3 c Sugar
3 Egg yolks
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 c Yellow cornmeal
PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 325F. 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 scenary, 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.
Chill the cylinders of dough about 1 hour, until firm. Remove one piece at
a time from the refrigerator and slice the cylinder into disks 1/4-inch
thick. Arrange the disks of dough on paper-lined cookie sheets, 1 inch
apart on all sides. Continue with the other cylinder of dough. Bake as for
the Krumiri.
