Herb Tip |
"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 |
When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Man invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking. |

Always eat grapes downward - that is eat the best grapes first; in this way there will be none better left on the bunch, and each grape will seem good down to the last. If you eat the other way, you will not have a good grape in the lot. |

(Use favorite pastry) These turnovers are best with at least two
varieties of firm cooking apples, such as Granny Smith, Jonathan,
Winesap & Golden Delicious, for differences in texture and acidity.
Sweet spices optional.
1. Melt butter in a lg nonreactive skillet over mod. high heat. Add
2 c of diced apples & cook, stirring frequently, 'til they begin to
color, ab.5 min. Stir in cider, sugar, lemon ju & salt; reduce heat
to mod. & cook 'til the liquid is reduced & the apples appear almost
dry but still retain their shape, about 5 min. longer. Remove skillet
from heat & stir in apple butter, currants, lemon zest, cinnamon,
cloves & allspice, along w remaining 1 c of raw chopped apple.
Transfer apple mixture to a med. bowl & refrigerate, uncovered, till

18x20" rectangle, 1/16th inch thick. Using a 6" plate or bowl as a
guide, cut out eight, 6"rounds as close together as possible. Gather
and reroll the dough scraps, then cut out 2 additional rounds. 3.
Spoon the cooled apple filling on the lower
half of each of the rounds. Lightly moisten the edges of the rounds
with water and fold the dough over the filling to form semicircular
turnovers. Press down on the edges to seal, first with your fingers,
then with the tines of a fork. Using back of a small knife, press
into sealed edges at 1/2-inch intervals to create a scalloped effect.
