Herb Tip |
Vegetables are interesting but lack a sense of purpose when unaccompanied by a good cut of meat. |
| Fran Lebowitz |
This is a recipe for Shepherd's Bread from the recipe cookbook of Recipes-to-go (Bread)
"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 |
We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink... |
| Epicurus |
It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato. |

Food Tip |
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved. |

Herb Tip |
Scald the milk in a saucepan. Cool slightly. Stir in the sugar, yeast
and butter. Cool. Add the yeast to the warm water in a second bowl.
Stir until the yeast is dissolved. Add the cooled milk. Stir. Stir in
half the flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough additional flour to
make a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a well floured board.
Knead until smooth and elastic (10 minutes or longer). Place in a
greased bowl. Turn to grease the top. Let rise until doubled in bulk.
Punch the dough down. Let rest for 10 minutes. Divide the dough into
loaves. Shape each into a ball. Set each ball on a greased baking
sheet. Let rise until doubled in bulk. Preheat the oven to 400
degrees. Bake until the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom
(about 20 minutes).
