CLINTONIA Why Be Sneaky?

The very first thing you do when you get your hands on this book is— read it in private. Then, put a plain jacket on it—preferably washable—and HIDE it carefully. Don’t let the children get even a peek at it or the jig is up. I am about to share with you some top-secret pointers on how to give your family more zip, zest and zingo—when they’re not looking.

But, why be sneaky about it? Why the James Bond 007 intrigue? Why not straight from the shelf and into the pot? Why? I’ll tell you why.

Because, at certain stages of their growth and development (like from toddlers through teens and right up to the coronary stage) anything that smacks of “health” is considered square, for the birds, or, when they get sophisticated, “faddist.”

Sneaky cookery is the art of incorporating into every dish the food values, the vitamins and minerals and enzymes which would have been there in the first place if the food had not been processed, devitalized and loaded with additives and thus stripped of much of its nutritive value.

It should really be called un-buttermilk." The tart, often thickened liquid with the rich-sounding name is the residue left over from churning butter;

cream with most of the butterfat removed. Buttermilk is nutritious (high in protein, low in saturated fat), has only about half the calories of whole milk, and, best of all, is a boon to bakers.

Desserts Can Contribute to Health

DESSERTS Dessert originally meant food served after the table had been cleared or "desserted" of everything else...even the cloth removed. We find accounts of grand dinners served in the early days of our country describing the polished mahogany tables with candles in tall silver candelabra casting a mellow glow over the guests enjoying a "dessert" of fresh fruit. In Europe, "dessert" still means fruit served at the end of the meal. However, for them, this fruit course follows a "sweet"...that is, a pudding, pastry, soufflĂŠ, or an elaborate torte creation. We Americans have simply promoted the "sweet" to the place of honor at the end of the meal.

Fruit Fool One of the simplest and loveliest of all summer fruit desserts is the English fool, merely a purée of berries with lightly whipped heavy cream stirred into it in a marbleized design, which looks quite beautiful served in a glass bowl. Traditionally, this was made with tart gooseberries, which are often hard to find these days, but if yo do find them, or can grow them, here is the basic recipe. Rhubarb, strawberries, and raspberries also make delicious fools. You can use frozen raspberries, which need no sweetening.

Gooseberry Fool 1 pound hard green gooseberries ¾ cup sugar 1 cup heavy cream Cook the gooseberries and sugar over very low heat until they are quite soft—you may need to add a few drops of water. When they are mushy, put them through a sieve or food mill; taste for sweetness.

Chill, then lightly whip the cream and fold it into the purée with spatula. Chill. Serve in small glass bowls with 'thin crisp cookies, shortbread fingers, or thin slices of pound cake.' ¶Rhubarb Fool. Cook 1 pound rhubarb cut in ½-inch pieces with 1 cup sugar over very low heat until it is quite soft. Proceed as for

gooseberry fool. ¶Fruit Fool with Yogurt. For a low-calorie version use 1½ cups yogurt instead of the whipped cream. You may find this needs additional sugaring of the berries, unless you like a tarter fool.

I've been trying to develop more recipes like this one. Cakes, tarts, cookies and treats that approach the sweeteners and flours a bit differently than most traditional recipes - less refined sugar, less white flour, etc. Let me know if this is something you're interested in seeing more of, and I'll keep posting the best-of what I come up with.

Basic Chocolate Cake Recipe I typically make this frosting just before serving. I should also mention that you'll want to give your coconut milk a good shake (or stir) before using it - it tends to separate in the can.

2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour 3/4 cup non-alkaline/non-Dutched cocoa powder (I use Dagoba) 1 tablespoon baking powder (look for non-aluminum type) 3/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt 1/2 cup barely melted unsalted butter (or coconut oil) 1 cup real maple syrup, room temperature 2 eggs, lightly beaten 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup coconut milk, room temp 8 ounces good-quality bittersweet chocolate, shaved or finely chopped Preheat oven to 350F degrees with a rack in the middle. Butter and flour an 8x8 square cake pan (I've also had success using a 9x9 pan, just adjust your baking time).

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. In a separate medium bowl whisk together the melted butter and maple syrup until it looks like caramel. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, and then the coconut milk. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the flour

mixture and stir until barely combined. Add the chocolate and stir until everything comes together and is no longer dusty looking - avoid over-mixing. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30 - 40 minutes. This is a cake I like slightly under-baked, so I pull it out when the center is still a bit under cooked - the toothpick doesn't quite come out clean when testing. If you are going to use it for a layer cake - then bake it all the way (clean toothpick). Remove from oven and allow to cool (absolutely completely) in pan before frosting (frosting recipe below).

Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chopped) 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks To make the frosting melt the chocolate in a double-boiler, or in a bowl placed over a pan of boiling water. In a medium bowl beat the butter until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the maple syrup. Then add the melted chocolate. Stir until silky smooth - any flecks of butter should be melted. Pour the chocolate mixture over the whipped cream and fold the chocolate into the cream. Keep going until the chocolate is well incorporated. Use an offset spatula to frost the completely cooled cake. If the cake is at all warm, the frosting will weep and melt. It still tastes good, but isn't what you're after.

Makes one 8x8 or 9x9 cake.

The skin on a mango always needs removing, but the flesh will purĂŠe easily enough in a blender or food processor. If your flesh is bordering on the over-ripe, you can easily mash it with a fork. Once it is pulped, the colour will go brown only too quickly, so a squirt of lime juice will help to keep the sun shining a bit longer.

It breaks my heart that we cannot grow these sensual fruits here. No apple, raspberry or pear, no blackcurrant warm from the sun or blackberry bubbling from the oven can come close to the erotic pleasure of a sun-ripened mango.

MANGO FROZEN YOGURT A bright tasting, unsweetened sorbet.

350ml thick Greek-style yogurt a banana 750g thoroughly ripe mango flesh Tip the yogurt into the jug of a blender or food processor. Peel the banana, break it into chunks and add it to the yogurt. Add the superripe mango flesh. Whizz briefly - just enough to give it a smooth, thick, creamy consistency.

Pour the mixture into the drum of your ice cream machine and churn as per the manufacturer's instructions. No machine? Then freeze for a good 4 hours, stirring the mixture from time to time.

Blueberry Sorbet Ingredients: 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 2 pints blueberries (4 cups) 1 tablespoon crème de cassis 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger 1/8 teaspoon salt Method: Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Stirring occasionally, simmer over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least two hours (this mixture, known as simple syrup, will keep indefinitely).

Place the blueberries in a saucepan with 1/4 cup of the simple syrup.

Over medium heat, bring the blueberries to a boil, then bring the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the berries have all popped and released their juices. Remove from heat and cool completely.

Puree the berry mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Stain through a fine mesh sieve. You should have about 2 1/2 to 3 cups of puree.

Add the crème de cassis, lemon juice, lime juice salt and all but 1 tablespoon of the remaining syrup. Mix and taste for seasoning to ensure the balance of the sweet and tart is to your liking. Add the remaining simple syrup or more lemon juice if needed, keeping in mind that the ginger will add extra sweetness. When the mixture is seasoned to your taste, stir in the chopped crystallized ginger.

Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.

Makes about 1 quart. *

An alternative is to use a low-methoxl pectin that gels in the presence of calcium, not sugar. The calcium is supplied in the form of an additive, such as monocalcium phosphate, which comes packaged with the pectin. Using low-methoxl pectin, you need just ¾ cup to 2 cups of sugar for 2 quarts of strawberries. Honey can be substituted for some of the sugar if you are using this type of pectin. If you can’t find it at the supermarket, try a natural foods store or a mail-order source.

COOKIE SHINES q1

Won't you come into our kitchen and join us in our “Cooky Shines?�

That used to mean tea parties, but it's what we call our sessions of cooky baking. We have lots of fun trying out all the delicious cookies

that come to us from many lands. I'd like to show you the cookies most popular with Staff members and friends who have shared their favorite recipes with us. You'll see many varieties in the color picture on the next page.

CAKES We now proclaim you a member of the Society of Cake Artists! And do hereby vest in you all the skills, knowledge, and secrets of the "gentle art" of cake making. Your part is only to heed the directions herein.

For centuries, cake-making changed very little. The 16th century Spice Cake, the 18th century Nun's Cake, even the rich Pound Cake of our colonial days required long hours of labor. Old "receipts" read..."take half a peck of fine wheat-flower...three pounds of refined sugar...dry them by the fire...take four pounds of butter, beat it with a cool hand, then beat thirty-five eggs," etc. Later recipes called for smaller amounts but the method of mixing was essentially the same.

'Sugar' Cookies Cream: 1 'stick' 'butter' 1 c 'sugar' Add: 1 egg Add alternately: ½ c sour cream, buttermilk, etc. with ½ t soda mixed-in [vanilla?] * 'Flour to stiffen enough to drop or roll' ('about' 2½ c) nutmeg 1/8 t salt 'Drop by teaspoon on greased tins. Sprinkle with sugar.'

Trim the overhang to extend ½-inch beyond the rim of the plate. Fold the overhang under and tuck it in so that it is flush with the plate. Make a decorative edge by pressing dough between the forefinger of one hand and the thumb and forefinger of the other. Repeat this...continuously around the edge of the entire pan.'

Nikki's Healthy Cookie Recipe You can use unsweetened carob, or grain sweetened chocolate chips, or do what I did and chop up 2/3 of a bar of Scharffen berger 70%. I sort-of shaved half the bar with a knife and then cut the rest into bigger chip-sized chunks. You can make your own almond meal by pulsing almonds in a food processor until it is the texture of sand - don't go too far or you'll end up with almond butter. And lastly, the coconut oil works beautifully here, just be sure to warm it a bit - enough that it is no longer solid, which makes it easier to incorporate into the bananas. If you have gluten allergies, seek out GF oats.

3 large, ripe bananas, well mashed (about 1 1/2 cups) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup coconut oil, barely warm - so it isn't solid (or alternately, olive oil) 2 cups rolled oats 2/3 cup almond meal 1/3 cup coconut, finely shredded & unsweetened 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 6 - 7 ounces chocolate chips or dark chocolate bar chopped Preheat oven to 350 degrees, racks in the top third.

In a large bowl combine the bananas, vanilla extract, and coconut oil.

Set aside. In another bowl whisk together the oats, almond meal, shredded coconut, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks/chips.The dough is a bit looser than a standard cookie dough, don't worry about it. Drop dollops of the dough, each about 2 teaspoons in size, an inch apart, onto a parchment (or Silpat) lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 - 14 minutes. I baked these as long as possible without burning the bottoms and they were perfect - just shy of 15 minutes seems to be about right in my oven.

Makes about 3 dozen bite-sized cookies.

The New York Times July 9, 2008 Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies Adapted from Jacques Torres Time: 45 minutes (for 1 6-cookie batch), plus at least 24 hours’ chilling

2 cups minus 2 tablespoons (8 1/2 ounces) cake flour 1 2/3 cups (8 1/2 ounces) bread flour 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt 2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) unsalted butter 1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) light brown sugar 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (8 ounces) granulated sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract 1 1/4 pounds bittersweet chocolate disks or fèves, at least 60 percent cacao content (see note) Sea salt.

1. Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.

2. Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Drop chocolate pieces in and incorporate them without breaking them. Press plastic wrap against dough and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Dough may be used in batches, and can be refrigerated for up to 72 hours.

3. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.

4. Scoop 6 3 1/2-ounce mounds of dough (the size of generous golf balls) onto baking sheet, making sure to turn horizontally any chocolate pieces that are poking up; it will make for a more attractive cookie. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and bake until golden brown but still soft, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack for 10 minutes, then slip cookies onto another rack to cool a bit more. Repeat with remaining dough, or reserve dough, refrigerated, for baking remaining batches the next day. Eat warm, with a big napkin.

Yield: 1 1/2 dozen 5-inch cookies. *

Raspberry Buttermilk Cake Adapted from Gourmet, June 2009 You can just ignore the word “raspberry” up there and swap it up with any which berry you please, like blackberries or blueberries or bits of strawberries or all of the above. This is a good, basic go-to buttermilk cake (not unlike a lemon yogurt cake before it) — moist and ever-so-light — a great jumping off point for whatever you can dream up.

By the way, I was having a “moment” when I made this and for once, remembered to weigh my ingredients as I measured them, for all of you people out there that know weighing is way easier than dirtying a zillion cups and spoons. Now let’s just hope my scale is accurate.

Makes one thin 9-inch cake, which might serve eight people, if you can pry it from first two people’s grasp.

1 cup (130 grams) all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) baking powder 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 stick (56 grams) unsalted butter, softened 2/3 cup (146 grams) plus 1 1/2 tablespoons (22 grams) sugar, divided 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (optional) 1 large (57 grams) egg 1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk 1 cup fresh raspberries (about 5 oz) Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside. In a larger bowl, beat butter and 2/3 cup (146 grams) sugar with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about two minutes, then beat in vanilla and zest, if using. Add egg and beat well.

At low speed, mix in flour mixture in three batches, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour, and mixing until just combined. Spoon batter into cake pan, smoothing top. Scatter (see Note) raspberries evenly over top and sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 Tbsp sugar.

Bake until cake is golden and a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes (but check in on it sooner, please.

Because my oven is new and far from correctly calibrated, I can’t weigh in on the accuracy of this baking time.) Cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and cool to warm, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Invert onto a plate.

Note: Directions like “scatter” always scare me. Where’s the science?

Here’s what my neuroses taught us: the ones that were downward were almost all swallowed by the batter. The "o" ones stayed empty, like cups. Both were delicious.

Make your own buttermilk: No need to buy buttermilk especially for this or any recipe. Add one teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to one cup of milk and let it sit until it clabbers, about 10 minutes. Voila, buttermilk! *

Lemon Sugar Cookies and Bars Recipes Yield: 4 dozen cookies 2-3/4 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 cup quick oats Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar; add eggs, beating well. Beat in lemon rind and juice. Gradually add flour mixture, then stir in oats. Chill dough thoroughly (at least 2 hours). Roll level tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and place onto greased cookie sheets, allowing room for cookies to spread. Using a flat-bottomed glass or custard cup that has been greased and dipped into sugar, flatten each ball to a 1/4-inch thickness (dip the glass into sugar each time). Bake at 375 degrees F until lightly browned around the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute, then carefully move to a wire rack.

Fillings and Toppings

q1

Whipped Cream Minus the Fat and Calories This topping is delicious and can be used wherever whipped cream is suggested (great on fruit salads).

Core, but do not peel, two yellow Delicious apples. Cube and put in blender with just enough apple juice to start blender working. Add one teaspoon lemon juice.

When puréed, gradually add one cup ground raw cashew nuts, and continue to blend until smooth.

This won’t stand in peaks like whipped cream, but I’ve yet to find anyone who wasn’t enthusiastic about its rich flavor; nor has anyone ever guessed the ingredients.

This “whipped cream,” if you have any left over, will give your rice pudding a chance to come on stage again with a different character.

It’s also great on your morning cereal, can be used with fruits the same as the lemon sauce, and can be combined with the lemon sauce for an elegant parfait.

If you want to freeze it for later use, put dabs the size of a silver dollar on a glass pie plate lined with wax or parchment paper.

Freeze, then transfer the dabs to a freezer container or bag.

QUICK BREADS May we introduce to you breads with a story? You see, the families of quick breads go way, way back into history.

You will find that the bits of history given in these pages make interesting table conversation when you serve hot breads at your table.

Breads

All my life I've relished good bread and loved the resilience of dough in my hands, the relaxed rhythm of kneading, the fragrance of baking, the beautiful even-grained cross-section of a well-risen loaf.

Nowadays my ideal day begins in my Greenwich Village garden, with the little fountain splashing among the flowers, an amazing number of birds in full voice, and the distant sounds of a great city waking up.

I carry out a tray with a steaming pot of tea, curls of fresh butter, and a couple of thick golden slices of homemade toast to munch slowly.

For more and more people, I find, real bread is a part of life, one offering tremendous reward for very little effort.

Cornmeal Bread This is a deliciously crunchy loaf with a texture quite different from that of most other breads, although it is somewhat similar to oatmeal bread. I find it best freshly sliced and toasted, and make it often to use for breakfast, since it is a good keeper. It makes a beautiful, well-risen loaf that should be thoroughly cooled before slicing. Don’t let the smell of it tempt you into cutting a big chunk off while it is still hot.

[2 loaves] ½ cup cornmeal 1 cup boiling water 1 teaspoon salt * 2 packages active dry yeast ½ cup warm water (100° to 115°, approximately) 1 tablespoon granulated sugar * 1 cup warm milk 2-3 teaspoons salt ¼ cup dark brown sugar 4 to 4½ cups all-purpose flour (preferably unbleached) Pour the cornmeal into the boiling water with the salt and stir vigorously until it cooks thick (about 4 minutes). Place it in a large mixing bowl to cool. Proof the yeast with the granulated sugar in the water, then pour into the mixing bowl with the cooled cornmeal mixture. Mix well. Add the warm milk, salt, brown sugar, and flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring very well after each addition of flour. When the mixture is well blended and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, turn out on a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 to 12 minutes, adding more flour as needed.

Butter a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with the butter on all sides. Cover and set in a warm, draft-free place to

double in bulk.

Punch the dough down and turn out on a lightly floured board. Cut in half, shape into two loaves, and let rest while you butter two 9 x 5 x 3-inch pans. Place the dough in the tins, cover, and let rise again until almost doubled in bulk, or just level with the tops of the baking tins. Bake in a preheated 425째 oven for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350째 and continue baking for 20 to 25 minutes, until the bread is nicely browned and sounds hollow when removed from the tins and rapped with the knuckles on top and bottom. Place the loaves, without tins, on the oven rack for a few minutes, to crisp the crust. Cool on racks before slicing.

MAKE SAUCES AND DRESSINGS

Salad Dressings Making a good vinaigrette, the basic salad dressing, is not only a matter of using the right proportions of oil and vinegar; it also depends on the strength of the vinegar and the type of oil. I always taste vinegar before I make a dressing...My preference in oils is for a full-bodied, fruity olive oil (vegetable oils are too light and tasteless to make a decent dressing), although if I want a more delicate dressing with a slightly nutty overtone I may substitute the French walnut or hazelnut oil.

Basic Vinaigrette While the proportions of oil to vinegar are a matter of taste, this is the balance I prefer.

Makes just over ½ cup, enough for a green salad for 4 1 teaspoon coarse (kosher) salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons wine vinegar 8 tablespoons fruity olive oil Mix the salt, pepper, vinegar, and oil with a wooden spoon or a fork, then taste and add more oil, vinegar, or seasoning if you feel the dressing needs it.

This basic dressing may be flavored with chopped herbs, shallots or green onions, garlic, or Dijon mustard according to preference and the

ingredients of the salad. ¶Herb Vinaigrette. Add 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herb... ¶Shallot Vinaigrette. Add ¼ cup finely chopped shallot or finely cut green onion to the dressing. ¶Garlic Vinaigrette. ...spear a crushed garlic clove with a toothpick, put it in the dressing and remove before tossing the salad... ¶Mustard Vinaigrette. A mustard-flavored vinaigrette is mostly used for strong-flavored greens...I like to use Dijon mustard...

Mayonnaise This is such an essential dressing…that I find it odd how many people resist making it and resort to the commercial jar. It really is not difficult to make by hand with a whisk, and it’s a cinch if you have an electric hand mixer, a blender, or a food processor. I like to make mayonnaise with a fruity imported olive oil or half olive oil and half peanut oil, but according to how flavorful or bland you like your mayonnaise you can use any oil you like—olive, peanut, safflower, or the light grapeseed oil imported from France.

Makes 1¾ cups 2 egg yolks (from extra-large eggs) 1 teaspoon coarse (kosher) salt ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard 1½ cups olive oil, or half olive and half peanut oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice To make mayonnaise by hand, beat the egg yolks, salt, and mustard in a bowl with an electric hand mixer or wire whisk until the yolks become thick and sticky. Gradually beat in the oil, drop by drop, until the mayonnaise starts to thicken and stiffen, then beat in the remaining oil more rapidly, making sure it is incorporated before adding more.

When all the oil is beaten in, beat in the lemon juice. Remove to a covered jar or bowl and refrigerate. It will keep for up to 10 days in the refrigerator. ¶Blender Mayonnaise. Put 2 whole eggs, the salt, mustard, and lemon juice in the blender and mix for just 5 seconds at the blend or high setting, then, with the machine still running, remove the cover insert and dribble the oil in very slowly until the mayonnaise starts to thicken, then add the rest of the oil more quickly. The minute the mayonnaise is thick and smooth, stop blending. ¶Yogurt mayonnaise. yogurt.

Combine equal parts of mayonnaise and plain

¶Mustard Mayonnaise. To each cup of mayonnaise add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. ¶Tartare Sauce. Mix 1½ tablespoons finely chopped onion, 2 teaspoons chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill pickle into 1 cup mayonnaise. ¶Rèmoulade Sauce. Mix 1 finely chopped hard-boiled egg, 2 tablespoons finely chopped capers, 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon juice into 1½ cups mayonnaise. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. ¶Louis Dressing. Mix 1/3 cup chili sauce, 1 tablespoon grated onion, a dash of Tabasco, and 1/3 cup whipped cream into 1 cup mayonnaise.

Saucepan chocolate rice pudding Dan Lepard Saturday May 31, 2008 The Guardian Saucepan chocolate rice pudding Keep the oven turned off next Thursday, June 5, to mark World Environment Day. This recipe avoids the need to leave the cooker switched on for an hour, and instead uses the heat trapped in the saucepan to do most of the cooking, making this a rather green chocolate rice pudding. The quality, flavour and colour of cocoa varies markedly between brands - I prefer Sainsbury's own-label to Waitrose's or Cadbury's, because it looks and tastes more like one of those expensive imported ones that pastry chefs use, but at a fraction of the cost. For a superstar finish, serve in small ramekins with a brûlée sugar top. Or just eat it straight from the fridge.

100g pudding or risotto rice 800ml milk 75g caster sugar 25g cocoa 1 tsp vanilla extract Pour about half the milk into a pan along with the rice and bring to the boil. Turn off the heat, cover with a tight-fitting lid and leave for an hour to let the rice swell and slowly absorb the milk.

After the hour has passed, lift off the lid, add the remaining milk, sugar and cocoa and vanilla, whisk and bring slowly to the boil,

stirring every so often to check it's not sticking to the base of the pan. Keep the pan at a gentle slow boil for about 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the mixture reduces and thickens, then remove from the heat, pop the lid back on and leave for another 30-60 minutes. Thin with milk or cream to the consistency you prefer, then store in the fridge.

Soups and Stews are Fun to Make . . .

† † † FOREWORD

THIS IS A BOOK for the servantless American cook who can be unconcerned on occasion with budgets, waistlines, time schedules, children’s meals, the parent-chauffeur-den-mother syndrome, or anything else which might interfere with the enjoyment of producing something wonderful to eat. Written for those who love to cook, the recipes are as detailed as we have felt they should be so the reader will know exactly what is involved and how to go about it. This makes them a bit longer than usual, and some of the recipes are quite long indeed. No out-of-the-ordinary ingredients are called for. In fact the book could well be titled “French Cooking from the American Supermarket,” for the excellence of French cooking, and of good cooking in general, is due more to cooking techniques than to anything else. And these techniques can be applied wherever good basic materials are available. We have purposely omitted cobwebbed bottles, the patron in his white cap bustling among his sauces, anecdotes about charming little restaurants with gleaming napery, and so forth. Such romantic interludes, it seems to us, put French cooking into a nevernever land instead of the Here, where happily it is available to everybody. Anyone can cook in the French manner anywhere, with the right instruction. Our hope is that this book will be helpful in giving that instruction.

All of the techniques employed in French cooking are aimed at one goal: how does it taste? The French are seldom interested in unusual combinations or surprise presentations. With an enormous background of traditional dishes to choose from (1000 Ways to Prepare and Serve Eggs is the title of one French book on the subject) the Frenchman takes his greatest pleasure from a well-known dish impeccably cooked and served. A perfect navarin…for instance, requires a number of operations including brownings, simmerings, strainings, skimmings, and flavorings. Each of the several steps in the process, though simple to accomplish, plays a critical role, and if any is eliminated or combined with another, the texture and taste of the cooking suffer.

One of the main reasons that pseudo-French cooking, with which we are all too familiar, falls far below good French cooking is just this matter of elimination of steps, combination of processes, or skimping on ingredients such as butter, cream—and time. “Too much trouble,” “Too expensive,” or “Who will know the difference” are death knells for good food.

Cooking is not a particularly difficult art, and the more you cook and learn about cooking, the more sense it makes. But like any are it requires practice and experience. The most important ingredient you can bring to it is love of cooking for its own sake. *

Vegetables

The delicate flavor of a raw fresh mushroom always takes me back to a special field on a farm we owned in Oregon. As a boy I'd get up at dawn to harvest the night's crop, if any, and bring back a pailful for breakfast when the luck was good. Walking home with the rising sun warming the back of my neck and the cold dewy grass brushing my ankles, I always sampled a few. Then, as my mother sizzled the caps in plenty of butter, and a wonderful earthy aroma filled the kitchen, I could hardly wait. We had them on thick buttery toast, sometimes with a crunch of crisp bacon to set off their richness, or bubbling in thick cream; and as I savored them I could almost sense a whiff of the cool, loamy night fields.

I always urge my students to taste things raw, and to keep tasting as they cook. If you don't understand your materials and how they're changing, cooking is like blundering through the subway with the lights off. This is especially true with vegetables. I wonder how many centuries it took for us to forget and then, only recently, to rediscover how good most of them are when eaten raw.

Be attentive, I say...Try everything, be receptive to new methods, give close and renewed attention to long-neglected treasures, and I do believe that you may re-jig your cooking patterns to give more priority to vegetables. To cook them brilliantly is a sure sign of a fine palate.

VEGETABLES Vegetables have family trees that go back to the dawn of history. Even long before the Christian era, the Greeks and Romans were eating peas and spinach. In the early days of our own country, vegetables were

"garden sauce" or just "sass" to go with meat. Beets and carrots sometimes were referred to as "long sauce," while onions and potatoes were "short sauce." A vendor who sold vegetables from door to door was a "sauce man." *

'Your sense of taste and smell are excellent guides to what is good for you...If you eat what you think is good for you even if you don't like it, you are not listening to the wisdom of your body...' -Weil 'Small helpings.

ABOUT RADICCHIO The vegetable radicchio has achieved a remarkable popularity in America during recent years. Virtually unknown five years ago, it is rapidly becoming America’s most popular winter salad. Most of you are probably familiar with its slightly bitter, raw taste in a salad, but it is also delicious braised.

Radicchio is a winter vegetable used both as a lettuce and a cooked vegetable; it is grown in northern Italy. The two most popular types of radicchio are the radicchio di Verona, with a head from the size of a large Brussels sprout to that of a medium cabbage. The head opens like a flower and its color is a deep alizarine crimson with a white spine along the center of each leaf. Sometimes the flower resembles an open rose and is quite beautiful.

The other type is the radicchio de Treviso. It has a leaf about 3 inches long and looks more like a lily than a rose. The color ranges from light to deep alizarine crimson.

It is the larger heads of radicchio di Verona that are often used for braising and are a true gastronomic delight.

ABOUT DANDELIONS We look forward to early spring, when the dandelions appear and our lawn becomes a sea of yellow. We eat the greens raw in salads and cooked—a spring vegetable as popular as any other on our table. Some people think dandelion leaves should not be gathered after the flowers have blossomed, but in a temperate climate you can gather dandelion greens until mid-June, after which the days do become too hot and the sun makes the leaves bitter. Aside from the nutritional value of dandelion greens, the slightly bitter taste is most satisfying.

Soak the greens in cold water, then pick them over carefully…

Boil dandelion greens about 20 minutes. The cooking time will depend on the size and tenderness of the greens. Drain when tender and let cool. At this point you can serve the greens as a cold vegetable with finely chopped garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil, or you can serve cicoria in padella.

BROCCOLETTI

DI

RAPE

The correct spelling for this marvelous vegetable is broccoletti di rape, that is, if we are willing to accept the spelling of the vegetable by the great Italian cookbook writers Caranacini, Ada Boni, and Artusi, among others.

It is often incorrectly called turnip greens (rapa is the name for turnips), and perhaps some of the confusion stems from Artusi’s description of broccoletti di rape, which he identifies with the turnip. Although it is possible that broccoletti di rape as we know it existed in Italy in the early part of the nineteenth century, I doubt very much that it was the same vegetable we know as broccoletti di rape today. I’m certain a great deal of cross-breeding produced the modern broccoletti di rape, with its succulent broccoli-like buds and no turnip bulb. Turnips do not produce broccoli-like buds. We grow both on our property and there is a difference.

If you grow your own broccoletti di rape, as we do, you’ll notice

that after the first cutting, new growth appears with smaller buds, called cimi di rape. Some Italians prefer the cimi di rape to the larger buds, but we prefer the larger buds.

Artusi describes in his La Scienza in Cucina e L’arte di Mangiar Bene the unpopularity of broccoletti di rape in Italy at the time.

This is certainly not true now—in fact, it is by far one of the most popular vegetables in Italy today. His description convinces me that he was talking about turnip greens, not broccoletti di rape.

Haricots Verts 'Avoid doing exotic things to these choice morsels. Simply boil or steam them and serve with butter. If you can avoid salt, do so, as the delicate flavor of these beans will be more readily savored.'

There is a lot of controversy about cooking beans. It’s very much a matter of taste preference. While they used to be cooked until they were thoroughly limp and soft (some people still like them that way), nowadays there is an equally unfortunate tendency to go to the other extreme and barely blanch them, so they still taste quite raw.

Personally, I like green beans cooked until the raw taste disappears but they still retain a fresh taste and a crispness to the bite. The trick is to keep the cooking water boiling rapidly while adding the beans. My friend Julia Child owns an esoteric piece of equipment called a buffalo iron which is heated until fiery hot and plunged into the water to keep it boiling furiously and cook the beans faster.

While it might be fun to have, I’ve always managed to get along without one.

Right now our corn may not be quite as high as an elephant's eye, but it's giving the cows a run for their money. Tall and lush, its billowing leaves rustle in the breeze, hassling you to harvest the fat, gift-wrapped cobs. I find it rather a-maizing (sorry, couldn't help myself) that corn is technically not a vegetable, but a grass (in much the same way that the whale is not a fish, but an insect).

When Columbus reached Cuba in 1492, the native Indians greeted him with ears of corn, which he claimed were "most tasty whether boiled, roasted or ground into flour". Some believe that Columbus introduced corn to Europe, where the variety of maize grown was largely fed to livestock. To this day, many older Europeans still see it as something fit only for cattle. This prejudice is rather surprising, because sweeter maize varieties (what we call sweetcorn) have an almost addictive succulence and tenderness that make them perfect summer eating.

As for the notion of turning them into fuel for cars, or cheap sugar for fizzy drinks, it's just too depressing for words. In the old days, before such horrors, and even before the ubiquitous and iniquitous sandwich filling of tuna with sweetcorn and mayo, most of us enjoyed our first full-on introduction to sweetcorn as corn on the cob, that golden, butter-drenched, pomposity-seeking missile and scourge of formality everywhere. (It's hard to take yourself, or anyone, too seriously when you have a huge yellow phallus in your hands and melted butter on your chin.)

Taste-wise, a fresh cob, boiled for five to 15 minutes (depending on how recently it was picked), and smeared with lots of butter and a grind or two of pepper, is still hard to improve on. But if you fancy a change, seasoned butters work well, too. Into some slightly softened

butter, work a squeeze of lime juice, black pepper and chopped coriander, or chopped garlic, thyme and basil, or, for a spicier treat, chopped garlic, chili flakes and cumin.

Incidentally, want to know why bad jokes are "corny"? Because in the US they used to "liven up" the corn seed catalogues with amusing (not) cartoons and anecdotes. It's a similar etymology, I suppose, to the phrase, "I literally pea-ed myself laughing."

Sweetcorn fritters Good with a green salad, or a lovely brunch with eggs and bacon. Mini ones are great with a cold beer. Makes 12 big ones or 24 canapé-sized fritters.

180g fresh sweetcorn kernels (from 2 or so small cobs) 75g coarse polenta 20g plain flour ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda 1 tsp curry powder ½ tsp salt A few grinds black pepper 1 tbsp lovage or coriander, chopped 120ml buttermilk (or milk mixed with a squeeze of lemon juice) 20g unsalted butter, melted ...#8805; 1 small egg, lightly beaten 2 spring onions, finely chopped Groundnut oil, for frying Stand each cob on its end on a board, and cut downwards with a sharp knife, as close to the core as you can, cutting off the kernels. Sift together the polenta, flour, bicarb, curry powder, salt and pepper.

Whisk in the lovage or coriander. Make a well, add the buttermilk, butter and egg, stir, then add the corn and onions. Heat 1cm of oil in a heavy frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry spoonfuls of batter (soup spoons for big fritters, heaped teaspoons for canapé-sized), spaced well apart, until bubbles appear on the surface; about three minutes. Turn, cook on the other side for another three minutes, and keep warm while you cook the rest.

101 Cookbooks / July 10, 2008 Lively Up Yourself Lentil Soup Recipe I've found that French green lentils and black beluga lentils hold their shape nicely - they don't go to mush in the pot. I sometimes used fire-roasted organic crushed tomatoes, they lend a lovely deep smoky flavor to whatever you use them in. If you come across them, give them a try in this soup. If not, regular crushed tomatoes are just fine. Can't find Greek yogurt, no problem - just use whole plain yogurt. Vegans can skip the yogurt entirely and finish the soup with a generous drizzle of good olive oil instead. And just a reminder, this makes a nice big pot of soup, so use a large pot - I eat the leftovers all week.

2 cups black beluga lentils (or green French lentils), picked over and rinsed 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes 2 cups water 3 cups of a big leafy green (chard, kale, etc), rinsed well, deveined, finely chopped Saffron Yogurt a pinch of saffron (30-40 threads) 1 tablespoon boiling water two pinches of salt 1/2 cup 2% Greek Yogurt

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan, add the lentils, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.

While the lentils are cooking, make the saffron yogurt by combining the saffron threads and boiling water in a tiny cup. Let the saffron steep for a few minutes. Now stir the saffron along with the liquid into the yogurt. Mix in the salt and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy soup pot over medium heat, then add the onion and salt and saute until tender, a couple minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, lentils, and water and continue cooking for a few more minutes, letting the soup come back up to a simmer. Stir in the chopped greens, and wait another minute. Taste and adjust the seasoning if need be. Ladle into bowls, and serve with a dollop of the saffron yogurt.

Serves 6 to 8.

Variations: -

You can serve it with a poached egg on top, or crunchy, fried shallots, with a drizzle of chive infused cream, or with chunks of tiny pan-fried butternut squash cubes.

- Make a thicker version by using just a bit of water, and then spoon it over an omelette in the morning.

- Have some cooked farro or wheat berries around? Toss some in.

Millet might be good too.

- You can finish the soup by adding your favorite spices or spice blends. Smoked paprika, crushed chiles, toasted cumin, would all work nicely.

Vegan Land

Details - July 1993 Natalie Merchant's Veggie Picnic

by Natalie Merchant If I were going on a vegetarian picnic - which is the only type of picnic I'd go on - I'd bring real plates in a little wicker basket.

Nothing disposable, please.

Middle Eastern food is great for picnics - it's so portable - so I make hummus, babe ghanouj, a good grain salad, whole-wheat pita bread with sesame seeds, and a fruit salad. And lemonade. I use cookbooks like the Moosewood Cookbook as a guide, but I tend to improvise and go by taste. I always cook for twenty people because I'm Italian. It's genetic: You have to force that third helping on everyone. The following recipes will serve six.

HUMMUS You'll need: 2 cups garbanzo beans (a.k.a. chick-peas) 3 to 4 cloves of garlic, minced about 1 teaspoon salt juice from a whole lemon 他 cup tahini dash of pepper When I make hummus, I use garbanzo beans that I've soaked and boiled

myself. I don't like using canned anything, and it's much fresher tasting. The trick I've learned over all the years of cooking with tahini is that it will separate and it will be impossible to stir without spilling it all over, so I do it in the sink and wear an apron because it's going to splatter. Since my father bought me a food processor a couple of years ago, I dump the whole can of tahini in the food processor and mix it up; then it's pliable.

I usually soak two cups of beans overnight in four cups of water that's the rule with grains and beans: one solid to two liquid. Then boil them for about an hour the next day, and when they've cooled off just throw 'em in the blender with the other ingredients.

Hummus to me is about texture. If it's too thick I just add water and olive oil. If it's thin I dump in more tahini. If it sticks to the roof of your mouth, put more garbanzos in.

BABA GHANOUJ People think it’s very complicated, but it’s not. You’ll need: 2 medium-size eggplants ½ to ¾ cup tahini (to taste) 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons olive oil juice from a whole lemon 1 teaspoon salt dash of pepper Some recipes call for for twenty minutes to scoop out the insides ingredients and…there

you to blacken the eggplant, but I just bake it half an hour at 350 degrees. When it’s cool, and put it in the blender with the other it is.

GRAIN SALAD I like to make my grain salads with short-grain brown rice and corn, red peppers, carrots, parsley, and either beans or pineapple and raisins. (Just follow the directions on the rice box for the amount you want, then add about ½ cup of chopped vegetables and ¼ cup of fruit if you want it sweet.

FRUIT SALAD You get extra hungry when you’re outside, so fruit salad is great.

Adjust the amount for however many people you have to feed and combine sliced bananas and cantaloupe with orange sections plus whatever fruits are in season. Top with about a teaspoon of grated ginger, the juice of one lemon, and nutmeg - just a little bit, not too much!

Parsleyed Green Soybeans Boil 1 c water. Add 2 c fresh (or 1 10-oz. pkg. frozen) green soybeans, and a little salt. Simmer for 10 min., covered. Drain; toss with some fresh parsley and black pepper.

By MARTHA ROSE SHULMAN Published: November 20, 2008 This silky fall/winter puree tastes rich, though there is no cream or butter in it.

Times Topics: Thanksgiving 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 small onion, chopped 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 pound butternut squash, peeled and diced 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced 1 medium-size Yukon gold or russet potato, peeled and diced 6 cups water, chicken stock, or vegetable stock Salt to taste 1. Heat the oil in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and stir together until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the squash, sweet potatoes, regular potato, and water or stock, and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes, or until all of the ingredients are thoroughly tender.

2. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup (or you can put it through the fine blade of a food mill or use a regular blender, working in batches and placing a kitchen towel over the top to avoid splashing). Return to the pot and stir with a whisk to even out the texture. Heat through, adjust salt and add pepper to taste.

Yield: Serves 6 Advance preparation: You can make this a day ahead and refrigerate.

Reheat gently. The soup freezes well. Once thawed, whisk well to smooth out the texture, and reheat. *

Baked Sweet Potato Falafel These falafel are Leon's most popular veggie dish to date. They knew they wanted falafel on the menu, but chose not to have deep fryers.

After some experimenting, this sweet potato and chickpea flour version was developed.

2 medium sweet potatoes (orange inside), around 700g or 1 1/2 pounds in total 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 small cloves of garlic, chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander 2 big handfuls of fresh cilantro/coriander, chopped Juice of half a lemon a scant cup (120g) gram /chickpea flour a splash of olive oil a sprinkling of sesame seeds salt and pepper Preheat the oven to 425F degrees (220C) and roast the sweet potatoes whole until just tender - 45 minutes to 1 hour. Turn off the oven, leave the potatoes to cool, then peel.

Put the sweet potatoes, cumin, garlic, ground and fresh coriander, lemon juice and gram/chickpea flour into a large bowl. Season well, and mash until smooth with no large chunks. Stick in the fridge to firm up for an hour, or the freezer for 20-30 minutes. When you take it out, your mix should be sticky rather than really wet. You can add a tablespoon or so more of chickpea flour if necessary (the water content of sweet potatoes varies enormously).

Reheat the oven to 400F/200C. Using a couple of soup spoons (put a well-heaped spoonful of mix in one spoon and use the concave side of the other to shape the sides) or a falafel scoop if you have one, make the mixture into falafelly looking things and put them on an oiled tray. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and bake in the oven for around 15 minutes, until the bases are golden brown.

Makes about 18 falafel, enough for 4 - 6. *
