No fancy tricks needed for great Super Bowl grub
(02/03/10)There's not a whole lot of high-end culinary wizardry involved in typical Super Bowl party foods. But because it's easy to end up with a bland batch of chili, soggy nachos and brown guacamole, we wondered if there were simple tricks to avoiding these common problems...
U.S. reviewing ban on Scottish haggis
(02/03/10) EDINBURGH, Scotland -- Just how risky is the Scottish national dish? At the request of Scottish officials, the U.S. government will sort that out as it reviews its ban on haggis, a sort of sausage made by rolling cooked sheep's offal -- the liver, heart and lungs -- in oats and pepper, then stuffing it into beef intestine and boiling it...
Recipe Swap: Club trades recipes from around the country
(02/03/10) Jodi Thompson, an avid recipe and cookbook collector, sent me these recipes to include here. She has an Internet recipe club that shares recipes from all across the country, and these are a few that came from her recently. I save many of the recipes she sends me, and I enjoy going back and looking through them from time to time. ...
Quick and easy meals from snack to finish
(01/27/10) For Christmas I was fortunate enough to get several new cookbooks as gifts from friends and family. This first book I will share with you is the Gooseberry Patch book "Quick & Easy Family Favorites," which I received from Joan Weeks, a friend and volunteer at the senior center. ...
Recipe Swap: An auxiliary stash of recipes for 50th anniversary
(01/20/10) Saint Francis Medical Center Auxiliary is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the release of a new cookbook to commemorate the occasion. The book is a lovely three-ring binder with the prettiest cookbook cover I have seen in a long time. It also has a nice stand or easel to hold the book up while cooking. The medical center's auxiliary works hard all year long to help with a variety of projects that benefit patient program. The book is available in the gift shop on their campus... 
A Harte Appetite: Toy oven can cook more than cookies and cakes
(01/20/10)What do award-winning cookbook author Rick Bayless, Food Network Iron Chef Bobby Flay, nationally acclaimed pastry chef Gale Gand and Chloe, my 5-year-old granddaughter, have in common? They all began their culinary education by slaving over a hot light bulb...
A Canadian culinary primer
(01/20/10) Canada may be a close neighbor, but most of Americans are pretty clueless about what's going on up there. Here is a quick primer on the Canadian culinary scene. Vancouver is a particularly international city, with numerous cultures. Pick from near endless options for Chinese and Indian fare to more obscure amalgamations such as Aburi-style sushi (seared slivers of seafood infused with French sauces)...
Young, young at heart provide sweet, savory recipes
(01/13/10) The youths from Good Shepherd Lutheran Chapel in Cape Girardeau have put together a cookbook to sell to help with a mission trip they hope to take. "Heavenly Recipe" features all of the favorite recipes of church members both young and young at heart. ...
Recipe Swap: Recipes from the Altenburg museum
(01/06/10) One of the highlights of my entire Christmas was taking the Country Church Tour in Cape Girardeau and Perry counties. My friend Doloris Meyr and my sister Pat and I toured as many churches as we could get around to. If you have not taken the tour, I highly recommend it. At several of the churches there was singing, some in German, refreshments and lots of friendly people ready to tell you all about their church and its history.
Have you heard? The herb is the word
(12/30/09) Laura Law of Cape Girardeau and I were talking last Sunday morning after church about, what else, recipes. She mentioned she had a few she wanted to share with me that I could pass along to you. All of these sound delicious, and I am eager to try this first salad recipe. Laura has a cookbook from the St. Louis herb society, and she recently found out it has a new cookbook out, so as soon as she gets her copy I hope she will send in a few recipes from that book... 
Crostini a convenient party food
(12/30/09)If the holidays have you scrambling for party-worthy grub, consider crostini (Italian for bread with stuff piled on it). The beauty of crostini is that the components often can be prepared ahead of time. The bread, for example, can be sliced, drizzled with olive oil and toasted up to a day in advance. Just let the slices cool completely and store them in an airtight container until needed... 
A Harte Appetite: Dresden and the history of stollen
(12/23/09)I well remember the devastation I felt when, following the intimations of family and friends, I began to wonder if there really was a Santa Claus. After all, it wasn't that long ago. I was 45 at the time. My sense of demoralization must be akin to that experienced by the citizens of Dresden, Germany, in the wake of recent claims that their city may not be the birthplace of stollen, the archetypical holiday pastry of Saxony. ...
Recipe Swap: Feeling nutty this Christmas? Try fruitcake
(12/23/09) Fruitcake seems to be one of those foods that either you really like or you really don't. There are jokes and tales galore about fruitcake: "What would Christmas be without a fruitcake? A good one!" People have kept them for years and joked about using them as doorstops. ... 
Sauce a stealthy way to flavor light entrees
(12/23/09)The trouble with light entrees is that low-fat proteins generally are at the heart of the dish. While this is great for your health, it often is wanting in flavor. How to make it work? The secret can be in the sauce. As long as you don't go crazy with the butter and cream, sauces can be a stealthy healthy tool for adding tons of flavor and moisture...
Recipe Swap: Church offers cookbook, recipes for holidays
(12/16/09) What could be a better last-minute Christmas gift than a new cookbook? The First Free Will Baptist Church in Cape Girardeau can help with that. The new cookbook they have just released contains 228 recipes and is full of great favorites and new recipes for you to try. ... |
