Blame Charles and Ann for the bandwidth. They started this. :-) --- Beth Forty-Karat Carrot Cake (Stolen from "Favorite Old-Fashioned Desserts" by Pat Dailey) 4 to 5 medium carrots 1 T fresh lemon juice 1 medium seedless orange (I use a medium to large one) 1-2/3 C granulated sugar 1-1/4 C vegetable oil 4 large eggs 1 T cinnamon 2 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg 1/4 tsp ground allspice 1 C chopped walnuts (the recipe calls for toasted walnuts or pecans, but I'm lazy) 3/4 C raisins 2 C unbleached all-purpose flour Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Generously butter three 8-inch cake pans. Grate carrots in a food processor or with largest holes of a four-sided grater. Measure out 3 packed cups, toss with lemon juice. Cut a flat top and bottom on the orange and stand it on a cutting board. Using a small sharp knife, cut away all rind and white pith. Coarsely chop the orange and add it along with any juice to the carrots. In a large food processor or with an electric mixer, mix granulated sugar, oil and eggs for 2 to 3 minutes. Add cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and allspice, and mix well. Stop the processor or mixer and add the carrots-and-orange, nuts and raisins. Mix just enough to combine. Add flour and mix in lightly. Transfer batter (which is lumpy and rather thin) to prepared pans. Bake at 325 degrees F until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pans for 10 minutes and then invert cake onto a wire rack. Remove pans and cool cake completely. Frost as desired. I use the cream cheese frosting recipe from the Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook (the one with the red-and-white- checks cover). Cake can also be baked in a 12-cup Bundt pan. Dailey's cookbook contains a recipe for cream cheese glaze, or toss slices of "bare" cake on plates and top with plenty of real whipped cream. I've also done cupcakes, which take about 35 minutes to bake. Use the toothpick doneness test.

Special thank you to Martin for hosting YAWP and even if the turnout was small, Zoli and I enjoyed meating people and sampling all the yummy dishes (and to think I didn't like asparagus as a kid). Anyway, here's the cheesecake recipe. crust: 1 1/2 cups graham crack crumbs 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinamon 1/3 to 3/4 cup butter Base filling: 1/2 cup sugar 2 eggs 2, 8 ounce packages of cream cheese 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon Grand Marnier Top filling: 1 pint sour cream 6 Tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanila 1 teaspoon Grand Marnier Directions: Combine crumbs, cinamon, 1/4 cup sugar, and butter (melted, and I usually use 1/2 cup (one stick). Butter a spring form pan (I've used both an 8 inch and a 10 inch pan) and press crumbs into side and bottom of pan (1/2 to 3/4 of the way up the side) Bake for 5 minutes @ 350 degrees. beat the eggs then add 1/2 cup sugar and beat at least 5 minutes. Add the vanila, Grand Marnier, and cream cheese. blend as well as you can (there is usually still some lumps). pour into the pan/crust and bake 20 minutes at 375 degrees. Take out of oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Combine sour cream, sugar, vanilla, and Grand Marnier, Pour on top of base filling (spread out gently) bake 5 minutes at 475 degrees. Let cool overnight in a refriderator. Misc notes: The 10 inch pan gives a slightly shallower cheasecake if you want to get more slices, while the 8 inch is deaper more decadent slices. I tried all kinds of methods to break up the graham crackers and what seems to work best is the grinder attachment on a kitchen-aide blender. A food proccessor would probably work as well. Using too much butter in the crust causes it to bleed out and burns on the bottom of the oven for the final 475 bake. Use just enough to get the other ingredients to bind together well. Give the crust the 5-10 minutes time to cool while preparing the filling. Don't be afraid to really beat the eggs/sugar thats what helps the filling its light texture. (The kitchen-aide comes in handy here). Rum or other extracts can be subbed for the Grand Marnier depending on taste/interest. The sourcream topping is light enough you can use a whisk attachment or possibly even an eggbeater, don't be afraid to beat it well. That last time in the oven at 475 is hot. It may generate smoke which can give an off flavor the cheesecake, if in doubt, make sure the oven is clean and put a drip pan to catch any butter that leaks out of the springform pan. Keep chilled for transport, and don't try to transport less than a whole cheescake or you will get an avalance. -- Dave Uebele Spotted Dog Systems http://sptddog.com/daveu.html From wetladies@micapeak.com Mon May 19 13:39:02 1997 Received: from proxy1.ba.best.com (root@proxy1.ba.best.com [206.184.139.12]) by shell9.ba.best.com (8.8.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA17490; Mon, 19 May 1997 13:39:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from express.ior.com (express.ior.com [199.79.239.13]) by proxy1.ba.best.com (8.8.5/8.8.3) with ESMTP id NAA29082; Mon, 19 May 1997 13:36:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: from express.ior.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by express.ior.com (8.8.4/8.7.3) with SMTP id NAA04202; Mon, 19 May 1997 13:35:53 -0700 Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 13:35:53 -0700 Message-Id: <380B7A10.1831@ccmail.columbia.com> Errors-To: wetladies-owner@micapeak.com Reply-To: wetladies@micapeak.com Originator: wetladies@micapeak.com Sender: wetladies@micapeak.com Precedence: bulk From: Angela_Barkes@ccmail.columbia.com (Angela Barkes) To: WetLadies Chocolate & Mischief Society Subject: No-bake cookies X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0 -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Comment: WetLadies Chocolate & Mischief Society Content-Description: cc:Mail note part Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Mime-Version: 1.0 Status: RO I thought it had coconut in it, but I guess not.

Well, from where I'm sitting right now, anyting that resembles sunshine just pulled out in front of chocolate. We just got back from Mexico, and this pale, watery Seattle sunshine is not cutting it. :( I'm going through withdrawal. Margaret Wainwright's Lemon Curd 5 eggs 2 cups sugar juice of 3 lemons (strained) rind of 2 lemons 1 stick unsalted butter Beat eggs lightly and add sugar to them. Add lemon juice, rinds and butter to this mixture and cook slowly in the top of a double boiler until mixture thickens slightly. It will thicken more when cool. Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal. It's good to eat right out of the jar, too. :) 'cesca From wetfood@micapeak.com Wed Feb 25 21:28:18 1998 Received: from alutia.micapeak.com (alutia.micapeak.com [199.79.239.92]) by shell9.ba.best.com (8.8.8/8.8.BEST) with ESMTP id VAA06319; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 21:28:15 -0800 (PST) Received: from alutia.micapeak.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by alutia.micapeak.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id WAA00897; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 22:45:55 -0800 Date: Wed, 25 Feb 1998 22:45:55 -0800 Message-Id: <34F50806.4FF8@teleport.com> Errors-To: wetfood-owner@micapeak.com Reply-To: wetfood@micapeak.com Originator: wetfood@micapeak.com Sender: wetfood@micapeak.com Precedence: bulk From: diana lee tracy To: Pacific NW Motorcycle Food Forum Subject: Re: Grand Mariner Souffle X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0 -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Comment: Pacific NW Motorcycle Food Forum Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii MIME-Version: 1.0 Status: RO Grand Mariner souffle (Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking; C.

Add dry ingredients, and mix 'till blended. Save 3/4 of a cup of dough for the top crust (and chill), and press the rest of it into a 9" tart pan with removable bottom. Chill for at least an hour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake crust until light golden, piercing with toothpick if crust bubbles, about 15 minutes. Be careful not to overbake now, as that will decrease the time you can bake it with the filling in. Cool crust. Take the dough you saved for the top crust, roll it out, and cut it using 2-3" cookie cutters. I found this easier to say than do. I finally wound up with a collection of irregular shapes. Bake the shapes on a cookie sheet at 375 'till light golden, about 6 minutes. Cool. To make filling Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler. Spread chocolate over bottom crust. Drain the blackberries and arrange blackberries on top of chocolate. Melt jam in a small saucepan. Spoon evenly over berries. To finish Bake at 375 for about 35 minuties, until crust is golden brown. Cool. Put dough shapes artistically on top. Eat. Notes: Damp potholders conduct heat to your finger tips in a real hurry. Frozen black berries take a _long_ time to thaw in a very cold refrigerator. I think the filling would come out less soupy if the berries were completely thawed before being used. When pressing the dough into the pan, attention should be paid to th edges where the sides of the pan and bottom come together. I wound up with a very thick crust there, sort of ramping up to the top of the pan. For a setting where nuts were OK, I think I'd put the 1/2 cup toasted blanched almonds the recipe called for in. Next time, I want to try laticing the top crust, instead of using irregular blobs. Enjoy! -daveh -------------------- Dave Hastings daveh@microsoft.com I don't speak for Microsoft.

The only figs I could find were sun dried, which is fine because they were quite flavorful. Anyway, I pureed the figs and cooked them in some water and sugar down to a syrup. Next, I whipped up the cream. I don't have an electric mixer, so I had to whip the cream by hand! I'm not proud... Finally, I put the cream in the lefse and rolled it up. ====================== What is lefse? Lefse (pronounced lef-sah) is a scandinavian bread, similar to tortillas. It is made from potatos and flour. You can use it to make snadwiches and stuff, but I find they work better with sweeter fillings (such as the fig cream filling I made).

Wait! Stop that finger (I see it heading for the 'delete' key!). This recipe comes from southeast asia, where tapioca is a food substance; the tapioca pudding recipes YOU'RE thinking about are inherited from the English, where, like sago pudding, blancmange, and spotted dick, they were developed to punish school boys (which explains why, before today's gentler treatment, so many young Englishmen set off around the world, in search of something decent to eat). This was originally made of palm sugar (gulla malacca translates 'molaccan sugar'), but brown sugar is a perfectly satisfactory substitute. The pudding is, essentially, an excuse to spoon up large quantities of brown sugar syrup and coconut milk, so if you serve it without either, don't come whining to me about how it's boring. Gulla Malacca 1/2 C large pearl tapioca, NOT instant, soaked overnight in 3 C water 1 C brown sugar 1/4 t salt 1 T cornstarch mixed with 1 T water Add brown sugar and salt to tapioca, simmer until transparent (about an hour) stirring often. Add cornstarch combined with water, cook until clear. Put into jello mold or individual custard cups and chill. Serve with brown sugar syrup (below) and coconut cream (belower). Brown sugar syrup 1 C brown sugar 1/2 C water Heat, stirring, until all the sugar is dissolved. Cool.

I admit, I haven't made these, but the first sounds easy and the second, well, it sounds an awful lot like my favorite dessert at the Langley Cafe... the closest experience I've had to the true "Oral Orgasm". Nummmmmy! Vanilla Custard 1 cup half n half 1/4 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 whole egg 2 egg yolks Scald half n half with the sugar. Cool slightly and add the vanilla. Beat egg and egg yolks until light and lemon colored. Add hot half n half, stirring constantly. Strain thru a fine sieve (get out a big piece of your pipe screen) into 4 small custard cups or pots. Set in a pan of hot water. Cover. Bake at 325' for 20 to 25 min. or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If overcooked, it will become watery. Garnish with mounds of slightly sweetened whipped cream, etc. sounds fun! Hazelnut Bavarian Cream Soak: 1 T. gelatin in: 2 T. cold water Scald: 1/2 cup milk Beat Together: 1/4 cup sugar 4 egg yolks 1/8 t. salt Combine the milk with the egg mixture by pouring first a little of the hot milk over the mixture and adding the rest gradually. Stir over (not in) hot water until the ingredients begin to thicken. Stir in the soaked gelatin until desolved.Grind and add: 3/4 cup hazelnuts Add: 1 t. vanilla Chill these ingredients until they are about to set. Whip until stiff: 1 Cabana Boy OOPS! Sorry, wrong recipe book... *2 cups whipping cream* (THAT'S it!) Fold into the other ingredients. Place the pudding in the serving dish(s). Chill thoroughly. Serve with raspberry juice (you find this with the canned pie fillings.) Tell me how this turns out. If my girlish figure hadn't gotten so matronly, I'd make and eat it all myself!

This is the same 'Grandpa' who had the Scoop Shovel Stew recipe and he called these German, not Swedish.] Divides in half ok. I have modified where indicated* for a nutty flavor. Grandpa's Swedish Pancakes 1 cup water 3 tsp brown sugar* (IDM - I Don't Measure ) 1/2 tsp salt 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1/2 tsp nutmeg* (IDM) 1/2 tsp cinnamon* (IDM) ~ 2 cups flour Use a blender if possible. Add flour last, and slowly, while checking the consistency. Batter _must_ be _thin_. (Can I emphasize THIN?) Fry in hot skillet like a crepe. Use Pam for each. I like a skillet with a rounded edge. Put batter in pan and roll pan for thin cake. Turn when brown on edges. Serve w/butter, syrup, powdered sugar, honey, etc. 1 batch serves 5-6. I like this as a social breakfast. I can usually work 2 cooking pans at a time and serve people seated at the breakfast bar. People get to watch how others make up their cakes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OTOH, sometimes I get up late and (if it's just me) mimic the recipe by using Krusteze mix and making it _very_ thin (as described above) and add the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. It's nearly as good and a lot easier, even at a campout. (I don't apologize for substitutions, Martin.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fruit Soup (Berry Syrup) [some call it a compote] 2 pkg (approx 16oz) Blueberries (or blackberries, etc.) 1 1/2 cup water 1 1/2 cup sugar 4 tbsp cornstarch 2 tsp lemon juice Put sugar and water in saucepan, heat til sugar dissolves. Add fruit & lemon juice. Dissolve cornstarch in a little water. Add to syrup. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens. Freeze. This turns out really thick. Great for the pancakes, above. For breakfast pull some of this out and defrost. You can refreeze later if you need to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nick...

Cut into lengthwise slices (after quartering and coring) 4 to 6 Bosc pears. Toss in a bowl with a mixture of 1/4 cup apricot preserve or orange marmalade and 3 oz. bourbon or triple sec or gran...you get the idea. Lay the slices out (no more than a layer of 2) in a buttered gratin pan (shallow baking pan) and sprinkle with a good amount of granulated sugar (for caramelization). Place on oven rack about 6 to 8 inches from the top broiler element/burner. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 deg. F. Then, turn on broiler and brown (almost burn) the sugar on top of the pears (about 3 to 5 minutes should do it, it's ok to burn a few of the edges as this adds a certain flavor to the dish). The top of the pears should be a little crispy (from the caramelized sugar) when you remove it from the oven. Serve about 2 - 3 table spoon servings in a shallow bowl or boat, spoon a little of the juices over the pears and top off with about 1 tsp. of aged ( 6 to 10 years $$) balsamic vinegar. If it doesn't come out right, come over to my place and I'll make it for you. 8^) Rick Mc ...where there's smoke, there's dinner.

Mix liquid into flour and blend well. If dough is too soft, add ¼ - ½ up more flour. Chill before using. Roll out chilled pastry on well floured board Note: this is a large recipe and should make three double-crust pies. It is very nice, since it will take a fairly heavy hand without getting tough. Keeps well in the fridge (two weeks max). Freezes very well - I usually make one pie and package up the leftovers to be frozen for later use.. This pastry works well both with savoury and sweet fillings. Lard makes a 'shorter' crust.

Let stand 15 minutes at room temperature before serving. Makes about 2 dozen. Travels well 600 miles over twisty mountain roads in sweltering heat if packed in dry ice. BASIC WHITE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES 1/2 cup Heavy Cream 1 teaspoon Lemon Peel (finely grated) 1/2 lb **White Baker's Chocolate (chopped up into small pieces) **DO NOT use packaged white chocolate chips! I learned this the hard way! White chocolate chips do not melt!!!! 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Powdered Sugar (to coat) Heat heavy cream and lemon peel just to simmer. Remove from heat. Stir in White Baker's Chocolate pieces and let sit 5 minutes. Add Butter and Vanilla Extract and stir till smooth. Cover and chill 3 hours. Cover cookie sheets with waxed paper and drop chilled mixture by teaspoon fulls onto waxed paper. Chill again 10 minutes. Roll into round balls. Roll in sifted powdered sugar to coat. Keep refrigerated or frozen. If frozen, remove from freezer 15 minutes before serving. Can be served straight from refrigerator if not frozen. SWTP'S LEMON TEQUILA WHITE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES Use Basic White Chocolate Truffle recipe above BUT reduce Heavy Cream to 1/4 cup, add 3 tablespoons Tequila and increase the lemon peel to taste. Note: If you double or triple the recipe you may need to reduce the Tequila even further to only 2 tablespoons per basic recipe because, as a part of the total liquid used in the recipe, the Tequila makes the recipe more runny than an equal amount of cream would. Makes around 24 truffles. Bon Appetit!!!
