"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?" |
| Alice B. Toklas |

Recipe by: Jo Merrill Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over warm water;
sprinkle yeast over this. Let stand in warm place until doubled in
size; about 10 minutes Mix milk, remaining sugar, flour and yeast
mixture. Place in a plastic or glass container; about a 5-quart size.
Stir using a wooden spoon or paddle. Do not use metal since it
retards growth. Cover loosely and let stand in a warm place
overnight. The next day, refrigerate. Stir each day with a wooden
utensil.
On the fifth day, measure out 1 cup to bake with and 1 cup for a
friend. Feed the remaining starter 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk and 1/2
cup sugar. Stir well and refrigerate; stir daily.
On the 10th day, measure out 1 cup to give to a friend if desired.
You should have enough left to use in a recipe plus enough to feed as
before; refrigerated.
Thereafter, you can use the starter daily or as desired, feeding
every fifth day.
