Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Break the eggs into another bowl and mix until yolks and whites are blended. Make a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in beaten eggs. (French chefs often break the eggs right into the dry ingredients but this makes mixing more difficult. Stir the flour mixture into the eggs little by little. The dough will be difficult to work and it may be necessary to add a little milk (or whatever liquid is used in the particular recipe) to incorporate all the flour. Add the liquid a spoonful at a time and mix it in thoroughly before adding more liquid. When the mixture becomes easy to work (when about half of the liquid has been used) the remainder can be added in two portions. Add melted butter (and flavorings if indicated). Mix again, cover and set aside for at least an hour but not more than 6 hours at room temperature. Crepe batter can be held overnight in the refrigerater. If necessary, the crepe batter can be cooked immediately, but the "resting" time allows the flour to absorb more liquids, makes the mabber easier to handle, and gives the crepes more flavor. Since flours vary in their ability to absorb liquid, if the crepe batter seems too thick when you are ready to cook it, a small amount of extra liquid can be added at this time. The consistency could be at least as thin as heavy cream. From: You can do anything with crepes. 1993 Cooking Echo Picnic Cookbook exchange.

MICHAEL ROBERTS - PRODIGY GUEST CHEFS COOKBOOK MMMMM MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.07 Title: Basic Fondue (Fondue Neuchateloise) Categories: Appetizers, Cheese Servings: 1 2 1/2 fl Dry white wine Clove garlic 5 1/2 oz Emmental and Gruyere cheese* 1 ts Cornstarch 1/2 fl Kirsch** Shake pepper Grind fresh nutmeg 6 oz White bread, cubed (Note: the above measurements are for *each* person. Multiply by your number of guests.) * Grated and mixed half and half. ** This is Swiss cherry firewater: clear, dry-tasting -- *not* "cherry brandy", which is dark and sweet. Most good liquor stores should carry it, at least one of the US brands like Hiram Walker, or else maybe Bols. The best Kirsch is "Etter" brand from Switzerland, but the odds of your finding it are minuscule. -- In Switzerland, fondue is usually perpared in a "caquelon", an earthenware dish with a handle, glazed inside; but any enamelled saucepan can be used, or a not too shallow fireproof dish. Rub the inside of the pan with half a cut clove of garlic, and let it dry until the rubbed places feel tacky. Put the wine in the dish and bring it to a boil. Slowly start adding cheese to the boiling wine, and stir constantly until each bit is dissolved, then add more. When all the cheese is in, stir the kirsch into the cornstarch well, then add the mixture to the cheese and keep stirring over the heat until the mixture comes to a boil again. Add freshly ground pepper and nutmeg to taste. -- Remove the dish to on top of a small live flame (Sterno or alcohol burner) and keep it bubbling slowly. Bread should have been cubed ~- about 1-inch cubes -- for spearing with fondue forks and stirring around in the cheese. The old custom is that if you accidentally lose the bread into the cheese from the end of your fork, if you're male, you have to buy a round of drinks for the table: if you're female, you have to kiss everybody. (Hmm.) . Other fondue info: Do not drink water with fondue -- it reacts unkindly in your stomach with the cheese and bread. Dry white wine or tea are the usual accompaniments. Another tradition: the "coupe d'midi", or "shot in the middle", for when you get full: a thimbleful of Kirsch, knocked straight back in the middle of the meal, usually magically produces more room if you're feeling too full. Don't ask me how this works...it just does. -- The crusty bit that forms at the bottom of the pot as the cheese keeps cooking is called the "crouton", and is very nice peeled off and divvied up among the guests as a sort of farewell to dinner.

But it's possible to buy low salt black olives, featured in the Mediterranean style sauce, that have all the good flavor without all of the salt. Yes, the capers that lend spark to the sauce are themselves salty; but you can cut down on their saltiness by choosing a brand that ranks salt further down, and thus in lesser concentration-on the ingredients list,and then draining and rinsing the capers well before adding them.

Stir in 1 cup of the milk, heated to lukewarm, the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons of the butter, and the buckwheat flour, beat the batter for 1 minute, and let it rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 2 hours or chill it, covered tightly, overnight. (Chilling overnight produces a tangier flavor. Let the batter come to room temperature before continuing with the recipe.) Stir in the remaining 1 cup milk, heated to lukewarm, the all-purpose flour, the salt, and the yolks, beat the mixture for 1 minute, and let it rise, covered with the plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is double in bulk and bubbly. In a bowl beat the cream until it holds soft peaks and fold it into the batter. In a metal bowl beat the egg whites until they just hold stiff peaks and fold them into the batter gently but thoroughly. Heat a griddle or large skillet over moderate heat until it is hot, brush it lightly with the additional melted butter, and spoon tablespoons of the batter onto the griddle, spreading them to form 3-inch rounds. Cook the blini for 1 minute on each side, or until the undersides are golden. Transfer the blini as they are cooked to a platter and keep them warm, covered with a kitchen towel. Make blini with the remaining batter in the same manner, brushing the griddle lightly with the butter as necessary. The blini may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the blini, covered with foil, in a 350~ F. oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are warm, or microwave them on a microwave-safe platter, covered with microwave-safe plastic wrap, at high power (100%) for 2 minutes, or until they are warm. Arrange 3 or 4 blini on each of 18 small plates, top them with some of the sour cream, and arrange some of the caviar decoratively on the sour cream. Serves 18 with blini to spare.

Original directions suggested shaping into a roll 1 1/2 inch wide, chilling at least 2 hours wrapped in wax paper and cutting in thin slices to make 1 dozen or more crackers. This would produce neatly shaped crackers, possibly thicker than desired. By rolling very thin, this amount of dough will make small crackers about 1/2 inch apart to cover 1 1/2 small cookie sheets. They do puff up while baking. May be cut quickly in random small shapes with a plastic knife. Suggested toppings coarse salt (made them too salty), garlic salt, celery salt, curry powder, or freshly ground black pepper. If the dough is very dry after rolling, brush tops with water before salting. If it is soft, sprinkle lightly and press the salt into the crackers. Bake 5 minutes at 425 F or until browned.

But if a food processor is not handy, you can use a blender and a chef's kniofe. It will still come out great, no matter how you do it! First, mix the cream cheese to a pasty consistency. It has to be soft and pliable. THen, in a large mixing bowl, whip together the cheese and the mayonnaise until the mixture is smooth. Toss in the Tabasco at this point and blend it in, too. Next, add the minced onions, the celery, the seasonings, the finely chopped black olives, and the crabmeat. Just put them all together -- it's not necessary to add them one at a time. But is *is* necessary to blend them all *gently*. If you get rough, you'll smash the ingredients and you'll lose the crispness. When you're ready to serve, lay out the *whole* bag of Doritos on a pizza pan and stuff each one, heaping on the crabmeat mixture and sprinkling the tops with paprika. To increase the flavor, put the stuffed chips in the refrigerator for an hour or two. Author's note: ...While crabmeat is used in the original dish, you can also substitute chopped shrimp or crawfish for the crabmeat, and the basic mix is also excellent for stuffing avocados, tomatoes, celery stalks, and just about anyting your taste dictates. Note from me: I don't care for Nacho Cheese Flavor Doritos but instead these are great with the unsalted style chips you get with salsa at Mexican restaurants.

Simmer the mixture for 20 minutes or until the liquid is reduced to about 3 T. Lay the salmon on a piece of heavy foil, twice as long as the fish. Pick up edges of foil and pour the wine mixture over the fish. Season with salt and fold the foil to enclose it, crimping the edges tightly to secure them. Put the salmon on a large baking sheet or roasting pan and bake it in the middle of a preheated 375øF oven for 50-60 minutes or until the fish just flakes. Transfer the package to a work surface, open foil carefully, and remove the skin from the top of the salmon below the head to the bottom of the salmon at the tail. Scrape away any brown flesh, leaving head and tail intact. Drain liquid from the foil, and using the foil as a guide, invert the fish onto a platter. Remove foil and skin and prepare the other side of the salmon in the same manner. Chill the fish, covered, overnight. Peel turnip and cut into thin slices. Trim each slice to ressemble a flower or cut with a flower cutter. Place in a bowl of ice water to hold until ready for use. Mash the egg yolk with the butter and reserve at room temperature. Spoon a thin coat of cool but liquid fish aspic over the salmon and arrange the additional tarragon sprigs and turnip flowers decoratively on the fish.

MMMMM MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.07 Title: Country Pate Categories: Appetizers, Pork, Veal Servings: 3 1 1/2 lb Boneless pork, ground fine -twice 1 lb Boneless veal, ground fine -twice 3/4 c Dry white wine 2 tb Brandy 2 tb Oil Salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 lg Onions, sliced thin 2 sm Cloves garlic, halved 1 lb Fresh pork fatback, sliced -thin 1 Cornichon pickle for garnish Servings: Makes about 3 lbs From: Sallie Krebs DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, combine the pork and veal. Mix the wine, brandy and oil with salt and pepper to taste, and pour the mixture over the meats. Scatter the onions and garlic on top. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate it for at least 24 hours. Preheat the oven to 375-F. Discard the onions, but put the garlic through a press and knead it into the meats together with the wine mixture. Break off a small piece of meat and fry it in a lightly oiled skillet over moderate heat for 3 or 4 minutes, or until its juices run clear, without a trace of pink. Taste the piece and, if you like, add more garlic, salt and pepper. (Pork is unsafe to eat uncooked; do not taste the meats raw.) Slightly overlapping the slices, line the bottom and sides of a 2-quart terrine mold or a 7 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch loaf pan with the fatback. Pack the meat mixture into the mold, and arrange the remaining slices of fatback on top of it. Fit foil over the mold, or cover the meat mixture with foil and a lid. To let steam escape, pierce a hole in the foil with a skewer. If you are using a lid, insert the skewer through its hole to puncture the foil. Set the mold on a rack in a large pan or dish. Place them all in the oven, and pour enough almost-boiling water into the pan to cover 2/3 of the mold. Bake for 2 hours or until the pate shrinks slightly from the sides of the mold and the surrounding fat and juices are a clear yellowish white with no traces of pink. Or insert a meat thermometer; it should register 160-F when the pate is done. Take the pate from the oven, but leave the foil in place. Set the pate on a rack to cool to room temperature. Then put another pan with a heavy can or weights inside it, or even a brick, on top of the pate to compact the meats. Chill the pate thoroughly (overnight is best) with the weights in place. Before serving, cut the cornichon into a fan shape, slicing lengthwise through the pickle 4 or 5 times to within 1/2 inch of one end. Spread the slices into a fan, and garnish the pate with it.

Belita's are famous all over Brazil. Empanadas are traditionally made in special molds that are almost as deep as they are wide. If they are unavailable, any small tartlet molds will do. "The secret to making good dough," says Belita, "is to massage it, not knead it." It may look as if she's making mud pies, but the results are truly superb. For the dough: To prepare the dough: Place the flour in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Place the butter, shortening, eggs, salt, and 1 cup water in the well. Using one hand to mix, squeeze these ingredients through your fingers to make a paste. Gradually work in the flour, squeezing the dough between your fingers to mix it. Add water as necessary; the dough should be quite soft. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes while you prepare the filling. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Saute the onion and garlic over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until soft but not brown. Add the chicken, bay leaf, tomato paste, salt, and pepper, plus water just to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked. Skim off the fat that rises to the surface. Remove the chicken, then strain and reserve the broth. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and remove the meat from the bone. Finely shred the meat with your fingers or in a food processor. Stir in the flour, peas, and olives. Stir in 3 to 4 Tbsp broth; the filling should be moist but not runny. Add enough cayenne to give the chicken a little bite. Pinch off cherry-sized pieces of dough and use them to line the tartlet molds. Belita pushes the dough in with her thumb. The dough should just reach over the top of the mold. Place a spoonful of filling in each crust. Roll out the remaining dough and cut out tops for the empanadas. Try to capture an air bubble when you place the top over the filling; according to Belita, this is what makes the pies light. Seal the tartlets by pinching together the top and bottom crust. Note: The empanadas can be prepared ahead to this stage and frozen. Preheat the oven to 350-F. Brush the tops with egg glaze. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Unmold and serve.

Cut in the shortening or lard till pieces are the size of small peas. Add a small amount of water to slightly moisten. Form dough into a ball. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 thick and cut into 4" circles. Flour lightly both side of circles and then stack up for later use. DESSERT FILLING: Just about any kind of fruit or melon may be used. Combine ingredients and heat to thoroughly mix, coarse chop, so that filling is chunky but bite-sized. Pumpkins is very good!! CARNE: Just about any kind of meat may be used, depending on availability. The sauce seems to be the only fairly consistent thing. Saute the onion and green pepper in olive oil. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 20 minutes. ( In S.A. this is continually cooked and prepared on the back burner, often being used and added to for several months at a time. It developes a flavor all its own...) Add meat and coat thoroughly with the sauce. COOKING: Add a large spoonfull of one of the above mixtures to the center of a dough circle. Place another circle on top. Fasten the two circles together by reeding the edges with a fork. These may then be baked, at around 350 degrees F until brown, deep fat fried, fried, cooked or heated on a barbecue. They may also be wrapped in banana husks, well moistened corn husks, etc. The object is to heat thoroughly, cooking the meat and browning the outsides so they are dry enough to hold together.

Cut the butter into 1/4 inch cubves. 2. Place the flour, baking powder, salt, and butter in a mixing bowl. Combine the ingredients with a pastry cutter (or with the steel blade in a food processor). 3. Beat the egg yolks. Mix half of them into the flour mixture. Reserve the remainder for step 12. 4. Incorporate the water slowly into the flour mixture until the dough becomes a cohesive and semifirm mass. 5. Shape the sough into two balls. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for 15 minutes. 6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 7. Heat the oil in a large saute pan or skillet over moderate heat. Saute the meat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer the meat with a slotted spoon to a warm bowl. 8. Add the onions to the pan and saute them over low to moderate heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. (Add 1 or 2 extra teaspoons of oil if necessary). 9. Return the meat to the pan and add the remaining ingredients. Cook the mixture for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Reserve it for step 11. 10. Roll each ball of dough on a lightly floured board into a 1/8-inch thick sheet. Using a cookie cutter with a 4- to 5-inch diameter, cut out rounds. Collect the scraps and repeat step 10 until the dough is used up. 11. Place one tablespoon of the meat mixture in the center of each dough round. Lightly moisten the exposed dough with cold tap water. Fold each round in half, creating a half-moon shape. Crimp the two edges of dough together, so that the stuffing cannot ooze out during the baking step. 12. Brush the tops of the uncooked empanadas with the remaining egg yolk. 13. Place the uncooked empanadas on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake them in the middle of the oven until the tops become light golden brown (roughly 20 minutes). Serve the empanadas fresh from the oven.

Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and the parsley. Serve immediately. Makes One 12-inch Pizza! Recipe from Cuisine, November, 1984. See Whole Wheat Pizza Dough recipe. Which Pan for Pizza? Almost any type of pan can give good results, though directions for brushing with oil and sprinkling with cornmeal differ slightly with each. In fact, the use of cornmeal is not required to prevent sticking except when using a pizza stone, but a little sprinkled on the surface of any pan will give added texture to the crust. Tin-lined steel; aluminum round pizza pans or baking sheets: Generously brush the pan with olive oil. Black-finished metal baking sheets and pizza pans: Follow the manufacturer's directions for care. Lightly brush bottom and sides (if any) with olive oil. Pyrex pizza pan: Generously brush pan with olive oil. Pizza Stone: Stones require preheating in a 500F oven. They require no oiling but must be sprinkled with cornmeal to prevent sticking just before the pizza is transferred from the peel (paddle). The peel must also be sprinkled with cornmeal before the uncooked pizza is place on it for transfer to the heated pizza stone. When removing the hot pizza stone from the oven, be careful not to set it on a cold surface, or the stone will crack.

To make the dough: place the flour and salt in a large bowl; mix well. Cut the shortening into small pieces about the size of walnuts. Add to the flour and, using your fingers, rub the flour and shortening together, making a coarse, mealy dough. Add the ice water and gather the dough into a ball. The dough should be firm and not sticky. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, but if the dough is too sticky, add just enough flour to make it form a ball. Divide the dough into 2 equal balls and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days. To make the filling: in a large skillet, cook the onion, garlic, and chilies in the oil over moderate heat for about 10 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add the beef, herbs, spices, bell pepper, and tomatoes, and cook over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is thick and saucy. Add the green onions and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and cool to room temperature. To assemble the patties: on a lightly floured surface, divide each ball into 2 equal balls, so that you have 4 equal balls. Flatten into disc shapes, then divide each disc into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball into a 3 1/2 inch diameter circle. Brush the edges with beaten egg. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling on one side of each circle, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Fold the dough over, making a half-moon shape. Seal the edges with the tines of a fork, and brush with the remaining egg. Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the patties are golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Preheat the oil in your deep fat fryer to the proper temperature for the food you are cooking. Dry the fish or the vegetables with a paper towel and dip into the batter. Place in the hot oil one piece at a time. Try to keep the pieces from colliding until the batter has had a chance to set (which it does almost instantly). Cook until the batter has turned a golden brown, remove to a paper towel to drain and serve at once. This is very good to use for zucchini, broccoli, peppers, green beans, onion rings and any other firm vegetable.

Press all the dough together into a ball then, finally, work it thoroughly with the heel of your hand, gathering it up with pastry scraper as you do so until it is soft and pliable. Leave it in the refrigerator to firm up again before you roll it out. Filling Peel the onions. Cut them into fine rings and weigh out 300 g. Cook the bacon strips (which need to be VERY finely cut) in the butter. Let them take on a golden colour, then add the sliced onions and leave them to cook gently until they are tender. In a bowl beat together the cream, milk and eggs, adding salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. When the onions are cooked, add them to the mixture in the bowl and add the chopped parsley. Preparation Roll out the dough 2mm thick and use it to line a buttered tart tin 26 cm in diameter and at least 3cm deep. Cut a disc of aluminium foil of the same diameter as the tin and place it on the pastry. Weight it down with a handful of beans or crusts. Pre-heat the oven to 150 oC (300 oF) and cook the pastry 'blind' for half an hour. Watch the coulouring of the edge and as soon as it starts to turn golden remove the aluminium foil and beans or crusts. Cook the pastry shell until the base is baked but not coloured. Fill the shell with the onion mixture. Put the tart back into the oven. Check that the temperature is still 150 oC and keep the oven at or just below this temperature for about 1 hour. Towards the end you could reduce the heat a little, as the tart needs TO COOK VERY SLOWLY. The tart is ready if, when you shake it, the filling appears to be quite firm with no hint of a whole in the centre. Serve warm, in small slices !

Stir in 1/2 cup reserved oyster juices and Champagne and cook, uncovered, on high, stirring twice during cooking, for 4 minutes or until thickened. Recipe can be made to this point a few hours ahead. COOKING AND SERVING: Heat the broiler with rack set at its highest level. Stir celery seed and white pepper to taste into the sauce.

See end of recipe for related info. ~------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cut the fish into long strips; the shrimp and scallops can remain whole. Put the seafood, jalapenos and cilantro through a coarse blade of a meat grinder. Combine the ground seafood with the egg whites, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Rinse the hog casing in cold water by letting the water run from the tap directly through it. (The casing should not have any holes.) Gather the casing up onto the sauce stuffing funnel attachment on your meat grinder. Put the seafood mixture back in the grinder and begin to grind it through. When it begins to emerge from the funnel, tie the end of the casing in a knot, leaving 3 inches of it unfilled for expansion room. Grind the mixture out, taking care not to overstuff the length of sausage; it should be about 1 inch wide. If necessary, squeeze it gently with your hands to make this width as you work. Continue with the entire length; you will have about 4 feet of sausage. Remove the funnel and use your finger to press out the last remaining seafood mixture. Leave 3 inches for expansion and tie the end in a knot. Shape to make it even. Coil it into a spiral and set it aside. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large heavy skillet with a lid. Reduce the heat so that the water barely quivers. Prick the sausage with a sharp knife pint at 3-inch intervals. Place it in the barely moving water, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the sausage rest for 10 minutes before serving. NOTE: If you use kitchen parchment, butter the paper and place 1/2 cup of the mixture on each piece. Roll it up, twist the ends and tie them securely with string. Poach as directed.

MMMMM MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.07 Title: Phyllo, Eating Well's Low-Fat Method Categories: Appetizers Servings: 1 For appetizers with a lot of style but little fat, phyllo pastries are a natural. The paper-thin sheets of phyllo dough can be rolled, folded, shaped, seasoned, or filled in countless ways. In typical phyllo recipes, however, the layers of dough are freely brushed with melted butter; when baked, the butter keeps the thin sheets separate, producing a flaky--and fat-saturated--result. We developed a technique in which the leaves of phyllo are lightly coated with a blend of egg white and olive oil. During baking, the egg whites become crisp while the oil keeps the leaves separate. The low-fat technique has an unexpected and welcome benefit: the pastries turn out crisper and less oily than those made with pure fat, and filled pastires don't become soggy. Frozen phyllo (or filo or fillo) is available in most supermarkets; it is also sold fresh in some Greek and Middle Eastern specialty shops. One pound of dough averages 25 large sheets of pastry. Our recipes were devloped for full-sized sheets, either 14 by 18 inches or 12 by 17 inches. These appetizers work beautifully for entertaining because they can be prepared in advance and refrigerated or frozen. TIPS: Phyllo Dough is easy and fun to work with as long as it doesn't get soggy or dried out. To avoid these potential hazards: Thaw frozen phyllo in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight; this will prevent damp spots that could cause the sheets of dough to stick together. Remove phyllo from refrigerator, and leave unopened at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. Clear a large work surface before removing phyllo from the box. Carefully unroll sheets onto a dry surface. Keep sheets of phyllo covered with plastic wrap or wax paper while you work; if the dough is left uncovered for even a short period of time, it dries out and breaks into flakes. Work quickly and with a gentle hand. From Eating Well, May/June 1993.

Remove the papery outer covering of whole garlic head, but do not seperate the cloves or peel them. Place as many whole heads of garlic on a large square of heavy-duty aluminum foil as there are people to be served. Fold up foil so that the cloves are completely wrapped. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. Serve each diner a head of garlic and some bread and butter. Separate cloves. Hold a clove over a piece of buttered bread and squeeze. The garlic puree will pop out, like toothpaste from a tube. Spread and eat. GARLIC PUREE: To make a batch of Garlic Puree for later use, let roasted heads of garlic cool, unwarapped for at least 5 minutes. Gently separate the cloves and squeeze each one over a fine meshed sieve, so that the softened garlic pops into the sieve. With wooden spatula or wooden spoon, rub garlic through the sieve into a small container or bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the puree if needed. QUICK PUREE: If you are in a hurry, you may skip the refinement of the sieve. Simply squeeze the cloves, one by one, over a bowl. When they have all been squeezed, use a rubber spatula to push the puree into a neat mound cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed. It will keep for months. To keep indefinitely, cover with a film of olive oil.

Working with four balls of dough at a time, roll each into a round the size of a large saucer (15 cm in diameter). Using your fingers, spread a little oil on each round,covering it well so that it does not stick during cooking. Sprinkle lightly with flour and place one round on top of the other, oily sides together. You will now have two rounds, each made up of a double layer of dough. oil and flour the tops in the same way as before. Sandwich these together to form a single pile of four rounds. Each layer of which has been oiled and dusted with flour. Repeat with remaining balls of dough. Gently roll out piles of rounds on a lightly floured board to a 25 cm diameter circle or oval. Turn the pastry from time to time. Place the rolled out pastry on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 2-3 minutes or until the pastry has puffed up slightly. Remove from oven and cut into strips 6 cm wide and 25-30 cm long. Then separate into thin layers before the pastry cools down. Cover with a damp cloth to prevent the pastry from drying out.

(I would cut off the top third of the artichoke and cut off the tips of the leaves remaining to remove "spikes".) Put artichokes into a kettle of boiling salted water and simmer about 35 to 40 minutes or until a leaf can be pulled out easily. Drain, refresh under cold running water, and let stand upside down until cool. To make the dressing: Saute green onions slowly in 2 tablespoons of the oil, until just tender. Stir in mushrooms and cook 2-3 minutes; then stir in bread crumbs and cheese. Transfer mixture to a bowl and let stand until cool. Stir in wine, lemon juice and remaining oil. Season well with garlic salt, salt and pepper, then add ham. Prepare each artichoke by pulling out some of the center leaves until the choke can be reached. (I'd just cut off about the top third of the artichoke and the choke would be reachable.) With a teaspoon, scrape out all the hairy choke. Fill each artichoke with dressing and top with parsley.

Lightly coat 2 mini-muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, whisk together egg white, oil and salt. Lay a sheet of phyllo on a work surface and with a pastry brush, lightly coat it with the egg-white mixture. Lay a second sheet smoothly on top, taking care to line up the edges before setting the sheet down. (Once you set down the sheet, it cannot be moved.) Brush with the egg-white mixture and repeat with 1 more sheet. Lay a fourth sheet on top but do not brush it. With a knife, cut the dough into 4 strips lenghtwise and 5 strips crosswise, making 24 squares. Press squares into muffin cups and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer the tartlets to a rack and let cool. Repeat the procedure with the remaining 4 sheets of phyllo and egg-white mixture. (The baked tartlet shells may be stored in a closed container at room temperature for 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.) To make smoked trout filling: In a food processor, combine cream cheese and smoked trout; process until fairly smooth. Add scallions and horseradish and pulse until just combined. (Alternatively, finely mince the smoked trout with a knife and combine with the cream cheese, scallion and horseradish in a small bowl.) (The smoked filling may be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.)

Season with salt and pepper. Beat egg whites lightly with a fork and stir into the spinach mixture. To form phyllo rolls: Set oven rack on the upper level; preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet lightly with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together egg white, oil and salt. Lay one sheet of phyllo on a work surface with a short side toward you. Brush lower half of the sheet with the egg-white mixture. Repeat this step with a second sheet of phyllo and set on top of the first. Spoon one-quarter of the spinach filling along one long edge. Tuck in the side edges and roll up, jelly-roll fashion. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo, egg-white mixture and filling, making 4 rolls in all. Brush tops of the rolls lightly with the egg-mixture and sprinkle with seeds, if desired. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. With a serrated knife, cut each roll diagonally into 9 pieces and serve hot. The rolls may be prepared, baked and sliced up to 2 days in advance. Reheat in a 350 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until heated through.

Re-cover and cook for 8 minutes longer. Prick plastic to release steam. Remove from oven and uncover. Stir well and allow to stand, stirring occasionally, until cool and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Transfer to a 1-1/2-quart souffle dish. Pour 3/4 cup of the olive oil and the vegetable oil over the tomato mixture. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap and cook for 5 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam. Remove from oven and uncover. Stir and allow to stand until cool. Transfer to the work bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. Scrape into a large bowl and stir in remaining olive oil if serving immediately. Otherwise, pack in a refrigerator storage container with a tightly fitting lid. The dip will keep as long as a month, so think about making the whole quantity. STOVE-TOP METHOD: Cover sun-dried tomatoes with water in nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil over med heat, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for 22 minutes. Allow to cool. Drain. Cook with oil, garlic, oregano and thyme over low heat, covered, for 20 minutes. Puree. Above makes 3 cups. Author's note: The sun-dried tomato dip is a real breakthrough. At a recent cocktail party, 7 guests demanded the recipe. Buying sun-dried tomatoes dry in bulk instead of packed in oil makes them less expensive. Reviving them in the microwave means that you can use a minimum of liquid for optimum intensity of flavor. Then they be packed up in good quality olive oil (much better than that which comes with them in jars) to use as needed or to turn into this dip, with its rich, mystifying flavor. The dip keeps for weeks in the refrigerator. You will want to have the ubiquitous sliced raw vegetables; fennel does well with this dip. You don't have to use a microwave oven; you can still make this dip even if it is slightly less intense in flavor. The reward is the cooking water. Save it to use for boiling pasta. Cooked either way, this dip makes a delicious pasta sauce. Below are timings for other amounts of sun-dried tomatoes so that you can multiply and divide the recipe as you want. Almost every informal party requires at least one dip. Allow 1/4 cup per guest. At bigger parties, I often supply two or three, spacing them around the room(s) with dippers at each location. MICROWAVE OVEN METHOD: FOR 1/4 POUND DRIED TOMATOES: With 1 cup water in a 2-1/2 quart souffle dish, cook, covered, at 100% in a high-wattage oven 5 minutes; prick plastic to release steam; stir; cook, uncovered, 5 minutes. In a low-wattage oven, cook 9 minutes and 9 minutes. FOR 1/2 POUND DRIED TOMATOES: With 2 cups water in a 13x9x2-inch oval glass or ceramic dish, cook in a high-wattage oven 8 minutes, then 8 minutes. In a low-wattage oven, cook 12 minutes and 14 minutes. FOR 1 POUND DRIED TOMATOES: With 4 cups water in a 5-quart casserole, cook in a high-wattage oven 14 minutes, then 14 minutes.

In a heavy skillet, heat oil and add chopped onions. Cook over medium high heat until translucent and golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add butter to skillet. Heat until melted. Add liver pieces. Over medium heat, fry liver until just done - 3 minutes on each side. Alternatively, liver can be brushed with butter and broiled. To test for doneness, cut a piece from liver slice. If still pink, continue cooking for 30 - 60 seconds. Overcooking causes the liver to be dry and tough. For finely mashed egg that disappears in the liver mixture, force egg through a wire strainer. For best results, separate the hard cooked whites from yolks and sieve them separately. Set aside. Fit meat grinder with a medium blade and place cooked liver and cooked onions in the grinder. Grind, then regrind the ground mixture. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the twice ground meat and onions mixture with the sieved eggs. Add salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. If desired, add a few drops of commercial gravy browning liquid to heighten color. Refrigerate for 24 hours before serving. Serve with slices of tomato, cucumber and dark rye bread.

MMMMM MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.07 Title: Vidalia Onion Tart Categories: Appetizers Servings: 6 Filling 2 lb Vidalia sweet onions 2 Egg yolks 6 tb Heavy cream 1/2 c Water 1/4 lb Bacon; cut in strips 1 ts Flour 1 ts Salt 1/4 c Peanut oil Pie pastry; see below Pie pastry 2 c All-purpose flour 1/2 c Unsalted butter 2 Egg yolks 1 ts Salt 6 tb Cold water FILLING: Slice onions thinly and layer in large saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to them and set aside to draw out the water for at least 30 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of oil and 1/2 cup of water. Steam onions until transparent and water is cooked out. Meanwhile, place sliced bacon in a small amount of water in a shallow pan and blanch to remove excess fat. Bacon should be limp. Pour off liquid and coarsely chop. When water is cooked out of onions, add 1 teaspoon of flour and stir to dissolve. Remove from heat and add 2 egg yolks and cream with the onions. Stir constantly. PIE PASTRY: Sift flour onto a pastry board, cloth or dough bowl and make a large well in the center. Pound butter to soften slightly or have at room temperature. Place butter, egg yolks, salt and smaller amount of water in the well and work together with the fingertips of one hand until partly mixed. Gradually work in flour, pulling dough into large crumbs using the fingertips of both hands. If the crumbs are dry, sprinkle over a tablespoon of more water. Press dough firmly together - it should be soft, but not sticky. Work on a lightly floured board, pushing dough away with the heel of the hand and gathering it up with a dough scraper until smooth and pliable. Press dough into a ball. Wrap in foil or plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. It can be stored tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. DIRECTIONS: Roll pastry to about 1/2 inch thickness in a rectangular shape. Place pastry on an oiled baking sheet. Crimp edges of pastry if desired. Beat an egg yolk with a pinch of salt and brush over the entire pastry. This is called "egg glazing" and helps the filling adhere to the pastry. Pierce pastry with a fork in several places to prevent bubbles from forming while baking. Spread onion mixture over the pastry and sprinkle the chopped bacon on top. Bake at 300 degrees F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until nicely borwned. Cut into 1 inch squares for hors d'oeuvres. May be made a day ahead and reheated. Wait to cut until after heating if made ahead. May be baked in individual tartlet pans or a pie plate.

Remove filo pastry from freezer and let it come to room temperature while you prepare the filling. Unfold the dough, and cut the stack of sheets in two. If you are making just one recipe, refold half the dough, and wrap it in plastic. It can either be refrozen or kept for a few days in the refrigerator. Cover the sheets to be used with a sheet of waxed paper covered in turn with a damp kitchen towel, to keep them from becoming dry and brittle. Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a hand grater or in a food processor. Toss with the salt and set aside for 30 minutes. Then drain and squeeze dry in a clean kitchen towel. Roast the pine nuts for 5-to-8 minutes in oven, chop them finely, and set them aside. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and saute the onion until it begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the zucchini, season with freshly ground black pepper, and cook another 4 minutes; then add the garlic, basil, parsley and white wine or water. Cover for 3 to 4 minutes, and remove from heat. Beat the eggs, stir in the cheeses, then cook the vegetables. Check the seasoning. Brush a 9-by-13-by-2-inch pan with the melted butter and lay a sheet of filo pastry with butter, or mixture of butter and olive oil, and continue buttering and layering, until you have used half the sheets. Scatter half of the chopped pine nuts between several of the layers. Brush the top layer with butter and spread the filling over it. Continue layering the rest of the pastry sheets. If the butter begins to congeal, reheat it so it spreads easily. Cut the assembled pastry into 3-inch squares, then into diamonds, making sure you cut through all the layers; refrigerate the pastry if you will not be baking right away. Bake in a preheated 400F oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until browned. Serve the pastries warm from the oven, slightly cooled, or at room temperature. Makes one 9-by-13-inch filo pastry.
