"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

| Garrison Keillor |
"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 |

Grated Parmesan cheese
Sort, rinse and soak beans by preferred method (described below). To
maintain color integrity, soak white and colored beans separately.
Drain. Cook onion, celery, carrot, green pepper, parsley and garlic
in butter until soft. Combine cooked vegetables with soup mix, 2
quarts water, bay leaf, fines herbes and soaked beans. Simmer,
covered, about 1 hour to desired tenderness. Add tomatoes. Serve hot,
sprinkled with cheese.
Makes 1 gallon or about 16 1-cup servings.
