LIPTAUER CHEESE SPREAD

January 1, 2015 by skfsullivan Leave a Comment

Liptauer Cheese is my mother's favorite spread and we served a creamy batch of it at our Gemütlichkeit holiday dinner party (more about that in a future post). The unusual combination of flavors makes for a "Wow, this is really good, what's in it?" reaction. Which is what we all aim for at dinner parties, right? Liptauer  Cheese is a traditional German cream cheese dip. I … [Read more...]

Easter Egg Salad

April 20, 2014 by skfsullivan Leave a Comment

Easter eggs - before and after.   Here are my humble contributions to the egg salad canon:   1. Use olive oil mayonnaise, it as a little more heft. Hellman's makes it now, among others.   2. Sliced pickled jalapenos, and plenty of salt and pepper.   Therefore, if neurological professional viagra disorder is the cause for such … [Read more...]

PAPER SHELL PECANS

April 20, 2014 by skfsullivan Leave a Comment

Right before Thanksgiving the New York Times warned us that "Ill-timed rain, marauding animals and a growing love affair between the Chinese middle class and the pecan has resulted in the worst pecan supply in recent memory. As a result, grocery store prices are up by about 30 percent..." (No Pecans? Thank China, rain and pigs.) Which is how we found ourselves by the side of … [Read more...]

IN PRAISE OF PUDDING / DARK CHOCOLATE PUDDING RECIPE

April 4, 2014 by skfsullivan Leave a Comment

I'm not exactly sure when it happened but quite some time ago chocolate pudding fell from favor. Could it have been the ascendancy of fancy French chocolate mousse that rang the death knell for chocolate pudding as we knew it? Or maybe it was misguided notions like Shake-a-Pudd'n. Yes we did that. The Sullivan boys were the envy of the lunchroom. Well, I think it was … [Read more...]

SCOTCHEROOS

February 14, 2014 by skfsullivan Leave a Comment

Marcel Proust had his madeleines. "Cats" has its moonlight and street lamps but nothing jogs my memory more than scrumptious Scotcheroos. For Valentine's Day Mom sent me and Steve a fresh batch of these classic Rice Crispy-butterscotch-peanut butter-chocolate confections. The combination of flavors is just as intense as it was back in the '70s when they were a Sullivan … [Read more...]

IMO’S PIZZA

November 5, 2013 by skfsullivan 4 Comments

Best pizza ever? Arguable. Best thing to come out of St. Louis since Tina Turner? Probably. The very essence of nostalgia? Unquestionably. Sheer heaven in a greasy cardboard box. This crisp, thin crust pizza with molten Provel cheese topping is like no other. This same active ingredient is present in the popular erectile dysfunction medication for curing this problem … [Read more...]

GENERAL VEGETABLE SOUP

March 9, 2013 by skfsullivan Leave a Comment

While Irish cuisine has shaken off the shackles of  ridicule and abasement, there still remain some charming examples of its humble origins. General Vegetable Soup is one such recipe. On our first grand tour of the Emerald Isle we made certain to visit the acclaimed Ballymaloe House, a restaurant, country inn and cooking school. Already fans of Myrtle Allen's Ballymaloe … [Read more...]

IRISH SODA BREAD

March 9, 2013 by skfsullivan Leave a Comment

From the Sullivan family cookbook Forks Up! comes my sister-in-law Malinda Sullivan's recipe for Irish Soda Bread. As my mother, Mary Pat, wrote in Forks Up! "It is amazing how many variations of this bread there are -- almost one per Irishman." In keeping with this world-view we substituted dried raspberries for the raisins only because they were on hand and raisins were … [Read more...]

HASSENPFEFFER – GERMAN RABBIT WITH LEEKS

February 26, 2013 by skfsullivan Leave a Comment

Before embarking on this recipe for Hassenpfeffer (braised rabbit with leeks German style) a disclaimer of sorts is in order. Rabbit isn't to everyone's taste. It wasn't to mine for a long time after a first encounter with a neatly skinned and split creature, posed as if in mid hop, grilled and glistening.  There may have been cherries involved. It was at the type of highly … [Read more...]

PRESERVED LEMON MUSTARD

I have a theory why home-made mustard stands out from commercial brands: store-bought mustard is processed to be shelf stable, i.e. heated and sealed, which in effect cooks it. Soaking and grinding the seeds at home results in a fresher, spicier, more mustardy result. This preserved lemon mustard has a lot of personality – sharp, […]

GRILLED CORN RELISH

Because why not? Making corn relish is an annual event here on Springy Banks. Come the holidays, it’s one of our most-requested condiments. This summer I added a new twist, grilling the corn first, giving a toasty, tawny flavor. Due to its popularity I always put up a whole bushel of corn. It might look daunting […]

WATER-CURED OLIVES, PICKLED GREEN ALMONDS, WHEY-PICKLED PEPPERS: WHAT I’VE LEARNED

This summer I tried my hand at few new types and techniques for pickling. The sub-head on this post is What I’ve Learned. Spoiler: It might better be called I Tried It So You Don’t Have To. Here goes. At my neighborhood green grocer in Astoria, United Brothers Fruit Markets, there’s always an enormous variety […]
