Add heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and garlic cooking for 3-5 minutes until cream 

is warmed through.

the egg and keep it from cooking as you slowly add it to the cream mixture whisking the whole time.

Keep whisking the cream as it begins to thicken, about 10 minutes.

Add the Gruyere cheese and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. 

Stir the mixture until it is fully combined and then let it cook for another 5 minutes. 

Salt and pepper to taste.

{chilled tomato soup}

Prep Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Yield: 6 cups of soup

Serving Size: 3 - 4

Can you keep a secret? This chilled tomato soup is so much better than gazpacho! 

Ingredients

4 large plum tomatoes (approx 14 oz)

1/2 baguette (about 5 oz)

1/2 small yellow onion

1 clove garlic, crushed

1-1/2 Tbsp kosher salt (or 1 Tbsp regular sea salt)

1/2 cup olive oil

1 Tbsp red wine vinegar

1 Tbsp tomato paste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 hard boiled eggs, crumbled

6 slices prosciutto, torn in pieces

 

Instructions

Slice the tomatoes in quarts and remove the seeds and core. Transfer them to a large bowl.

Cut the baguette and the onion in big pieces and add them with the garlic and salt to the bowl.

Stir and cover with boiling water, about 3,5 cups should be enough.  Leave to soak for an hour, just on the counter.

Prepare a colander with a bowl placed under it to save some of the liquid.  Drain the tomatoes and bread.

Get a blender ready, transfer the tomatoes and onion to the blender. 

Squeeze the water from the bread, this goes best using two flat hands. 

Add the bread to the blender as well as 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid, the olive oil, red wine vinegar and tomato paste. 

Blend it until smooth and transfer to the big bowl you used for soaking. 

Add black pepper to taste and some salt, if needed.

Place in the fridge until serving so it can cool off.

Serve with the crumbled eggs and prosciutto and drizzle with some extra olive oil.

{4}       Homemade King Hawaiian Rolls and/or Loaf, submitted by John in New York

6 cups all-purpose flour, plus an additional 1/2 cup flour, divided 

3 eggs 

2 cups pineapple juice, room temperature 

3/4 cup sugar 

1 teaspoon vanilla 

2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes yeast 

1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) butter, melted

 

In a small bowl, beat your 3 eggs. 

Add the 2 cups pineapple juice, sugar, vanilla, and melted butter. 

Measure 3 cups of the flour into a large bowl. 

Stir in your egg mixture until well-combined. 

Sprinkle in the yeast packets, one at a time, mixing well. 

Add the remaining 3 cups of flour and mix well. 

If it becomes to difficult to stir with a wooden spoon, just use 

your hands! 

Make sure all of the flour is well incorporated—the dough should be tacky to the touch but not overly sticky. 

If it appears too wet, sprinkle in a bit of extra flour, just a 

tablespoon or so at a time. 

Cover your bowl with a clean kitchen towel and set it in a warm place to rise for 1 hour. 

Remove your dough from the bowl and knead in an additional ½ cup of flour. 

I kneaded mine 10 to 15 times, making sure the flour was well incorporated. 

Form the dough into rolls, and/or loaf. Place in buttered pans. 

Cover and place in warm place to rise for an additional hour, or until the dough doubles in size.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. 

Brush tops with melted butter, and serve warm.

{11}      Dave's Honey Garlic Pork Chops, submitted by Muriel,   Muriel@wenells.us 

Serving Size: 4

Ingredients:

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons lemon juice, about 1 lemon

2 cloves garlic, to 3 cloves, about 1 T

2 teaspoons soy sauce

4 pork chops, boneless, 3/4-1" thick

to taste salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil, to 3  

 

Directions:

To make the glaze, whisk the honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, and soy sauce 

together in a bowl, or shake it up in a jar.  

(This step can be done ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to cook the pork chops.)

Heat 2-3 tablespoons olive oil in a large (12”) skillet over medium to medium high heat, until the oil shimmers.

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.  Carefully add them to the skillet and let them brown (3-4 Minutes).

When they’re nicely browned on the first side, flip them over and sear the second side, 3 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium low and add the glaze.  

Use a spatula to scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet and stir them into the glaze.

Allow the chops to simmer until cooked through, about 4 to 8 minutes, depending on their thickness.

Allow the chops to simmer until cooked through, about 4 to 8 minutes, depending on their thickness.

Continue to simmer the glaze until it’s thick enough for a spatula to leave a momentary trail if you scrape 

the bottom of the pan (about the consistency of pancake syrup.)

Pour the glaze directly over the chops on the serving plate, or serve it on the side.

 

SPECIAL NOTE:  Pork needs to be cooked to 145º, but the pork chops will continue to cook after they’ve been removed from the pan, so if they’re in the neighborhood of 130 when you 

take their temperature (pickup a chop with tongs and insert a meat thermometer through the side of the chop),  it’s safe to take them out of the pan.  Or cut into one of the chops - 

Looks for the center to be barely pink so they can cook the rest of the way as they rest.  

This is a really quick technique and really good.  I loved it.  Simple too.

{14}         Raspberry Rose Eton Mess, submitted by Laurel  in Australia,  tomee@ozemail.com.au

'This little gem of a dessert is as effortless, yet delightful as it gets. 

No baking, no cooking, comes together in about 10 minutes, & captures the very essence of berries & cream. 

It is a gorgeous sweet treat to end any meal, & is perfect to assemble on the spot for a large group of guests!'

INGREDIENTS

Serves 4

250g fresh raspberries (2 cups)

1-2 Tbsp. caster sugar (superfine sugar)

1 tsp. rosewater

300ml pure cream (1-1/2 cups)

1 tsp. vanilla paste or extract

8-12 small store-bought plain meringues

crushed pistachios to serve

 

METHOD

In a bowl, combine the raspberries, sugar and rosewater and stir carefully to mix without breaking up the berries too much. 

Set it aside for 10-15 minutes, giving it a quick mix every 5 minutes or so until it becomes syrupy and shiny.

Meanwhile, add the vanilla to the cream and use a handheld electric mixer on low to whip until soft peaks form, 2-3 minutes. 

You don’t want the cream to be too stiff, so be careful not to over-whip it!

You can also do this by hand with a metal whisk.

To assemble, place 3-4 heaped tablespoons of the whipped cream into each plate, and top each 

with a quarter of the raspberries. 

Crush 2-3 meringues onto each plate, and sprinkle with some crushed pistachios. 

Serve immediately.

{17}       Butterfly Shrimp with Bacon, submitted by Pat,     pplummer@carolina.rr.com

This recipe has been in my collection about 45 years.  

One of the first Chinese restaurant recipes that I totally 

went bonkers over was something called (and I am spelling this 

as I remember it and phonetically) Wo Yap Har.  

It was great in 1972, and I still make it today.  

My apologies for the spelling and I hope that the taste makes up for it.

1 lb Large shrimp

4 slice Bacon

1 large Onion

1 clove garlic

2 Eggs

4 Tbsp. Flour

1/4 cup Catsup

2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

3 tsp. Sugar

1 dash Pepper

1/2 cup Water

2 tsp Cornstarch

2 Tbsp. Water

3 Tbsp. Oil

1 Tbsp. Oil

1/2 tsp Salt

 

Instructions

Shell, devein and butterfly shrimp, leaving the tail segments intact.

Cut bacon strips in 1/2-inch sections. Slice onion thin. Crush garlic.

Beat eggs. Then add flour and beat with a wire whisk until batter thickens. 

(It should not be runny: if it is, add more flour.) 

Dip bacon in batter, 1 section at a time, and place on the flattened surface of each shrimp.

In one cup, combine catsup, Worcestershire Sauce, sugar, pepper and water. 

In another cup, blend cornstarch and remaining cold water to a paste.  Heat oil.  Add shrimp, bacon-side down, and pan-fry 2 minutes over medium heat. 

Cover and cook another 1/2 minute. 

Turn shrimp over and pan-fry 2 minutes more. 

Remove and drain shrimp on paper toweling.

Add onion slices and stir-fry until softened and translucent; then drain. 

Arrange on a serving dish with shrimp on top. Keep warm.

Heat remaining oil. Add salt and crushed garlic; stir-fry to brown lightly. 

Add catsup mixture and bring to a boil, stirring.

Then stir in cornstarch paste to thicken. 

Spoon sauce over shrimp and serve at once.
