A Recipe for
Idiot's Delight

Bread deals with living things, with giving life, with growth, with the seed, the grain that nurtures. It is not coincidence that we say bread is the staff of life.
Lionel Poilane

Herb Tip
Using Basil:
Only the leaves are used of the basil plant and available either fresh or dried. Basil adds a minty, clove-like flavor to sauces, salads and pesto. Basil is also a perfect compliment to tomatoes.

“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?”
Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772)

Food Tip
Keep the hot foods hot and the cold foods cold. Use chafing dishes or other heated servers which keep already hot foods at a temperature of at least 140F. Do not leave high-risk foods out for longer than 2 hours. Make sure to stir the food frequently if the heating source does not cover the entire bottom of the dish. Cold foods should be set on ice. Never mix fresh food with foods that have already been out for serving.
