“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.” |
| Pearl Buck (1892-1973) American Nobel Prize winning author. |
Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all. |
| Harriet Van Horne |
“Another article of cuisine that offends the bowels of unused Britons is garlic. Not uncommonly in southern climes an egg with a shell on is the only procurable animal food without garlic in it. Flatulence and looseness are the frequent results.” |
| Dr. T. K. Chambers, A Manuel of Diet In Health and Disease (1875) |

Food Tip |
"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |
All sorrows are less with bread. |

Mix flour and boiling water. Add cold water and knead into a smooth
dough. Let rest a few minutes. Roll out into a baguette and cut into
six pieces. Use a rolling pin to flatten each piece into a 4"
pancake. Brush each with a thin layer of sesame oil and place them
together in pairs, oiled sides together. Roll each pair out until you
have 6" pancakes.
Heat a dry nonstick pan to medium-high. Drop in a pancake pair and
cook until golden bubbles form on the underside, shaking the pan from
time to time. Flip and repeat for the other side. Remove and separate
pancakes. Fold into quarters and cover with a warm damp towel until
serving time.
This recipe may be doubled. Pancakes may be made ahead and reheated by
steaming (but they're better fresh).
