Scotch Woodcock
This is another fun entry to the egg recipe list, although I have a feeling it will be somewhat controversial! You can find the whole list of 99 Ways to Make Eggs here. In this time of recession and belt-tightening, eggs remain an inexpensive protein source and a good choice for grocery budgets. Scotch Woodcock…

Eat This While You Read That: CV Walter
This one was a first, in that I got to hand some of the food I’d prepared for the blog post to the author! And get squee‘s in response. Also, this is a delicious treat. Both the food, and the book! When I am making baklava I don’t make the filo dough. There are some…

Custard Sauce
A shocking amount of my meal planning pivots on ‘what needs to be used up before it goes off?’ and I know I’m not alone in that. This recipe evolved out of having five small Granny Smith Apples that had been in the fruit bowl for some time. The nice thing about baking apples is…

Cheese Souffle
This is part of the Egg series, where I’m cooking my way through the list of 99 Ways to Cook an Egg. With inflation driving costs up, even eggs aren’t as cheap as they once were, but they are still an inexpensive protein option, and as you will see, an elegant dinner is quite manageable! …

Eat This While You Read That: Becky Jones
Today’s dish and book come from the inestimable Becky Jones, and really, it’s appropriate that I should be publishing this on Independence Day. As a former political science professor, she’s intimately familiar with the whys and wherefores of this great holiday. You won’t find politics in her Academic Magic series, but as the title should…

Coddled Eggs
No, this isn’t about making them feel really comfortable. It’s another way to cook eggs, and I’ve decided I may as well cook my way through the list I made a few years ago. It was something I meant to do then, and life got in the way. May as well start now, right? Besides,…

Eat This While You Read That: Kelly Grayson
I’m back, folks, with more food, more books, and more pretty pictures for you to drool over. The new house has a great kitchen, good natural light for the photos, and best of all… I have the time to help promote my friends and fellow authors. Kelly Grayson is a very good writer, and a…

ETWYRT: Timpana
I really debated making this a formal part of the series. Usually, when I do an Eat This While You Read That post, I’m highlighting a single author (or editor!) and a dish they chose (not necessarily one from the book, just one they like) in the recipe and post. This is celebrating an island,…

Torta tal Lampuki: Fish Pie
This week I want you to visit Malta with me. Now, I know that most of you, like myself, will never be able to set foot on the sun-drenched island and soak in it’s history. I can, however, say that I know what it tastes like in a small way. Join me for a journey…

Booze Review
A little review of a couple of fun drinks. I was amusing myself… I went to look for a bottle of something highly recommended, which the local liquor store (nice big one with good selection, relevant later) tells me has been discontinued. Since I was there, and we don’t actually drink nor shop for booze…

Feeling My Biscuits
This isn’t so much a recipe as it is thoughts on cooking for four decades. So if you want a precise recipe, sorry, perhaps this will work better for you? After all these years, I find myself telling my kids ‘don’t watch me bake. It’s a science, and you really ought to measure,’ as I…

The Lady’s Cake
This is a recipe from Miss Parloa’s New Cook Book, published in 1880. It was the Gilded Age in the United States, and the height of the Victorian Era in the British Empire. Wabash, Indiana became the first city in the world lit by electric lights. Thomas Edison tests his electric railway in New Jersey.…
