    Apple Pie (as requested by Kscott)
    2 gallons of Apple Cider (not the alcoholic kind for you Euro types)
    1 gallon of Apple Juice
    1-2 cups of sugar (depends on how sweet you want it)
    5-7 sticks of cinnamon
    1 bottle of Everclear (750 mL or as I call it a fifth)

    The Everclear: I prefer the 195 proof version but the 151 version will also work. If you don't live in a land graced with Everclear (or other moonshine) any 151 proof liquor will work.

    Mix the cider, juice and sugar into a pot and bring it to a boil. Add the cinnamon sticks and let the mixture cool down to at least room temperature. Then stir in the Everclear. This drink is very tasty and doesn't even taste of the sweet death that is a 195 proof liquor. This will get you drunk and is the perfect outdoor drink if you are having a barbeque or a campfire.

    Enjoy.

    Well we don't have the alcoholic version in large quantities over here. But from what I have sampled the non-alcoholic it is a tad sweeter than the alcoholic variety. IT should work though.

    In Taiwan we have lots of Thai immigrant workers. Actually the first big scandal involving slave labour erupted because of the living conditions of those workers during the construction of the new bullet train line.
    And with workers come restaurants...


    Lemongrass soup

    Ingredients:

    8 C. chicken stock
    1/2 - 1 bunch cilantro (coriander)
    Fresh or canned straw mushrooms
    16 large shrimps, peeled,
    1 C. snow peas
    1/3 C. shredded carrots (just for color)
    juice of 1 lime
    1/2 - 1 tsp. crushed red pepper
    1 chili pepper, cut into rings
    4 Tbsp. nam plah (you can find at Oriental food stores)
    a few stalks of lemongrass (I would use about 6)


    Bring the broth to a simmer. Add crushed red pepper and shrimp. Simmer for 5 min. Add lemongrass and simmer for another 5 min. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer a few minutes more. Be careful not to overcook or the vegetables will lose their color and will get limp.

    Coconut soup

    Ingredients:

    One 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
    1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons green curry paste
    Four 2-inch strips of lime zest
    2quarter-size pieces of fresh ginger, lightly crushed
    1/2 teaspoon sugar
    3 cups chicken stock
    2 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 3/4 -inch pieces
    3 tablespoons fish sauce (look again in oriental stores)
    1/4 cup coriander leaves, coarsely chopped
    6 basil leaves, coarsely chopped
    1 tablespoon fresh lime juice


    In a large saucepan, combine the coconut milk, curry paste, lime zest, ginger and sugar and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Add the chicken stock, cover and simmer over moderately low heat for 8 minutes. Raise the heat to moderate and bring the soup to a boil. Add the chicken, fish sauce, 3 tablespoons of the cilantro and the basil. Stir and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Discard the ginger and lime zest. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cilantro and stir in the lime juice. Serve hot.

    Picked this one up in Sweden


    Swedish Gravad Lax


    This is really old Swedish specialty using fresh raw salmon pickled with sugar, salt, peppercorns, and fresh dill. After preparation, it will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.

    Ingredients:

    3 Lbs middle cut piece of firm fresh king salmon
    6 Tbsp. salt
    4 Tbsp. brown sugar
    3 Tsp. crushed black peppercorns
    1 Large bunch fresh dill weed, chopped (dry dill may be substituted)

    Mustard Sauce:

    3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
    2 Tbsp. brown sugar
    1/3 Cup extra virgin olive oil
    1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
    3 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill
    Dash of Salt

    To Serve 8:

    Dry salmon with clean paper towels. Cut fish into two triangle shaped wedges, removing any bones.

    Combine salt, sugar, and peppercorns, and rub half the mixture into all sides of the salmon. Sprinkle half of the chopped dill in bottom of glass or porcelain baking dish just the right size to hold the fish.

    Lay the salmon pieces in the dish, thin to thick ends, sprinkle with remaining salt mixture and dill. Cover with plastic wrap and weight fish down with a plate or other object that will fit. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, turning once or twice. You can continue to refrigerate coated with this mixture for up to three days.

    Brush off excess coating, and on a fish serving board, cut on the slant into paper-thin slices. Serve with the mustard sauce and light rye pumpernickel style bread or whole grain crackers.

    Impress your guests with this elegant appetizer.

    Often served with chilled vodka shots or a very dry white wine!

    Krapfen, for Boudicca




    Das buch von guter spise (the book of good food), also known as ein buch von guter spise, is the earliest known German language cookbook. It is dated from between 1345 to 1354. The household manual, which included guter spise, was organized by Michael de Leone, who was the proto-notary (chief clerk) of the Archbishop of Würzburg. The surviving portion of the manuscript is in the library of Munich University.

    There are many other surviving pre-seventeenth century German cookbooks. Von Speisen, natürlichen und kreuter Wein, aller verstand was printed in 1531 in Frankfurt am Main; Kuchenmeysterey, originally printed around 1486, can be found as a photoreproduction. The original of Das Kochbuch der Sabrina Welserin was a handwritten manuscript from 1553; a more recent version includes a facing page transcription and translation into modern German. One of the most beautiful cookbooks I have seen is a reprint of Ein new kochbuch by Marx Rumpolt; the original, now at Cornell, was printed in 1581 in Frankfurt am Main. The reprint was issued in 1980 and is scheduled for republication. The above list is far from complete; there are several other unpublished manuscripts.

    Large sections of guter spise can be found in two later manuscripts. The first is called the "Mondseer Kochbuch", since it is from the Mondsee monastary; it is bound with a Latin and German winebook, Eberhards von Bethune's Graecismus, a Latin good health regimen, and a Latin schema mnemotechnica. The other is known as the "Weiner Kochbuch". Although the two manuscripts share recipes not found in guter spise, only the guter spise portion can be found as a black-and-white photocopy in Daz buoch von guoter spise, edited by Gerold Hayer and published in 1976.

    From this manuscript I managed with my poor German to salvage this recipe:



    Krapfen

    makes 24 Krapfen
    3-4 cups unsifted flour
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 1/4 cups warm water at the temperature of a boiled witch (105 to 115 deg F)
    1 package active dry yeast
    2 egg yolks,beaten
    1/4 cup butter
    grated rind of 1 lemon
    1/4 cup plum or apricot jam

    Mix 2 cups flour with sugar and salt. Make a well in the center and add 1/4 cup warm water and the yeast. Allow to rise 20 minutes. Add egg yolks, remaining water, and butter. Beat until well-blended. Add lemon rind and remaining flour until a soft dough is formed. Knead for 5-10 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down. On lightly floured board roll dough 1/4 inch thick. cut dough into 2 inch rounds.

    On half of the rounds place about 1 teaspoons of jam or jelly. Moisten edges with water. Place a second round on top. Press firmly to seal edges. Let rise 15 minutes. Fry in deep fat heated to the temperature of a wooden witch (375 degF.approx) for 4 minutes on each side or until browned.

    Cut into first doughnut to be sure it is done in the center. Drain on maidens underware (absorbent paper will do) and sprinkle with lots of sugar as the doughnuts are not sweet.

    Soutzoukakia for Asterix

    Now, people will go into a nationalist fit in at least two countries I have in mind regarding this dishe's origin, so let's just say that this recipe is based on my recollection of my Granny's cooking. My granma was an interesting figure. She was born in Costantinople (Istanbul) in 1898, survived two Balkan wars, The disasters of '22 two World Wars, a civil war, atwo dictatorships, and died peacefully watching a documentary about Kangaroos.

    During the WW2 she was hiding in her house a Spanish Jew, a Bulgarian communist and a German deserter, not at the same time though...I think this Jewish type had some input on her cooking style because she switched the name of boiled rice from pilaf to paela in the family culinary vocabulary...



    So here it is :

    500g minced meat (lamb or beef)
    130g bread, soaked in white cooking wine

    2 cloves of garlic, grated or crushed
    1 heaped tsp of ground cumin
    1 small onion, grated
    half tsp salt
    freshly ground black pepper
    1 medium egg
    1 dessert spoon olive oil
    Oregano
    Fresh ripe tomatoes

    Squeeze the bread dry, place in a bowl with all the other ingredients and mix together with your hands. Leave the mixture for half an hour in the fridge then shape into cigar shapes (a good thumb size). Put into a shallow oven dish and add equal amounts of parboiled potatoes, cut into similar sizes.

    Now take 1 tsp of cumin seeds, half tsp salt, 1 clove of garlic, a small onion, a glass of white wine, half a glass of olive oil and a 400g tin of tomatoes, put all into a liquidiser and liquidise. Taste for salt then half fill the tin with water and add. Liquidise again then pour all over the meatballs and potatoes. Cook at Gas Mark 6, 180C for about an hour, checking after 30 minutes.

    The final touch:

    10' before cooking is finished empty a large quantity (around 500g) of thick youghourt on top and use the grill to form a crust.

    Serve with (non-basmati) rice or fresh bread.

    White wine or Ouzo.
