Non-cooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet. |

"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?" |

Chemically speaking, chocolate really is the world's perfect food. |

After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual "food" out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps. |

"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’." |

* - boned and trimmed of surface fat
** - or regular pocket bread, cut in half crosswise
=======================================================
============== ===
1. Lay meat boned side up. Slash about halfway through thickest
portions, as needed, and pull meat, patting cut edges down, to make
the piece relatively even.
2. Place lamb in a 9x13" pan. In a 1 1/2 quart pan over medium-high
heat, stir vinegar with 1/3 cup mint jelly just until boiling. Stir
in mint and pour evenly over lamb. Cover and chill 2 hours or up to a
day. Turn meat over occasionally.
3. On firegrate in a barbecue, with a lid, ignite 50-60 charcoal
briquets. When briquets are dotted with ash, in about 30 minutes,
spread them into a single layer; scatter 10-12 more briquets over
coals. Set grill 5-6" above coals. Lift meat onto grill; reserve
marinade. Put lid on barbecue and open vents.
4.Turn meat as needed to brown evenly; baste with marinade. Cook until
thickest part of meat is done to your liking; for rare (140' on a
thermometer) in center of thickest part, allow about 40 minutes total.
Thinner sections will be well done.
5. Transfer lamb to a platter and let rest 5-10 minutes. Garnish with
mint sprigs. Slice meat thin. Season to taste with mint jelly, salt,
and pepper. Eat with knife and fork or tuck into pocket bread.
