Food Tip
Many of the bacteria that cause foodborne illnesses are carried by animals (including pets). It's important to wash your hands with hot, soapy water after you have contact with animals and before you handle food at any time.




"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy."

Ginette Olivesi-Lorenzias

Herb Tip
Using Rosemary:
The leaves of the rosemary plant are available in both fresh and dried varieties and the stems make easy skewers that add a ton of flavor to shish-ka-bobs. Rosemary is an excellent herb to be used with beef, lamb, fish, poultry, stuffings, fruit cups, vegetables and marinades. Rosemary carries a very bold, piney and perfumy flavor so remember: A little goes a long way.

This special feeling towards fruit, its glory and abundance, is I would say universal.... We respond to strawberry fields or cherry orchards with a delight that a cabbage patch or even an elegant vegetable garden cannot provoke.

Crusty Country Bread Directions

Makes 2 baguettes or 1 long or round loaf

Lightly grease large bowl; set aside.

Stir yeast into 1/3 cup water and let stand until mixture bubbles,
about 5 to 7 minutes. Combine with flour in mixing bowl. Begin
beating, adding sugar, salt and remaining water, and continue beating
until well mixed.

Turn dough out onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and
elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to coat
entire surface. Cover with plastic wrap and hot, damp towel and let
stand in warm place until almost tripled in volume. When dough has
risen, transfer to board, punch down and knead about 2 minutes to
eliminate any air bubbles. Return to bowl, cover and let rise again
until at least doubled.

Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease baking sheet. On lightly floured
board, punch dough down, roll into oval, then form into desired
shape. Make several slashes diagonally across top with knife or
scissors. Place on baking sheet and let rise until loaf is doubled.
Bake 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 F and bake 5 to 10 minutes more
for baguettes, or 15 minutes for single loaf, until golden brown and
bread gives hollow sound when tapped on bottom. Cool on rack.

Bon Appetit
