"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?" |

When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste. |

Herb Tip |
Tarragon: Only the leaves are used of the tarragon plant which are available either fresh or dried. A favorite in French foods, tarragon’s aromatic, licorice-like flavor makes a great addition to chicken, fish, eggs, butter, vinegars, and soups. |

Plant a radish, get a radish, never any doubt. That's why I love vegetables, you know what they're about! |

“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) |
HARD COOKED EGGS:
25 minutes
If desired, pricke large end of egg with a pin to prevent them from
cracking. Place eggs in a single layer in a large deep saucepan.
Cover with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) cold water over top of the eggs.
Cover saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately remove
pan from heat to stop boiling.
Let eggs stand in water for 20 to 25 minutes.
Drain water and immediately run cold water over eggs for 2 minutes
(for easier peeling and to prevent a grey ring from forming around
the yolks). PICKLED EGGS:
Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 10 minutes (+cooling)
In a small saucepan, combine remaining ingredients. Cover and bring
to a boil. Over low heat, simmer for 10 minutes. Strain liquid and
cool to room temperature. Place 6 peeled hard cooked eggs in a
screw-top jar. Cover with vinegar solution. Screw cover in place and
let stand in refrigerator for at least 2 days before using. Pickled
eggs will keep several months without refrigeration if the container
in unopened. Once opened, refrigerate and use within one month.
NOTE: Keep a jar of hard cooked or pickeled eggs in the refrigerator
for instant snacks, devilled eggs, garnishes, meals on the run,
sandwich fillings, salad plates or quick supper recipes.
