“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) |

The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese. |
| G.K. Chesterton |
"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 |
"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 |
Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Grease 12 muffin pan cups; set aside.
In a small bowl; mix together pecans, brown sugar, 1 T flour,
cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter; set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups flour, granulated sugar,
baking powder and salt; cut in shortening. In a small bowl, blend egg
with milk. Add to dry ingredients with half of the pecan mixture,
stirring until just blended. Spoon batter into muffin cups; sprinkle
with remaining pecan mixture. Garnish each muffin with a pecan half.
Bake 15 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out
clean. Remove muffins from pan to cool on wire rack.
Mixing muffin ingredients requires a special, but easy-to-learn
technique. The liquid ingredients (milk, eggs, etc.) are beaten
together and then added all at once to the dry ingredients. Mixing is
kept to a minimum--just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. The
batter should be lumpy, not smooth. These muffins freeze very well.
