WOW! Aren't you fortunate to have such a talented friend! I love this book and the simple elegance he incorporated into his recipes. Thank you for your input...and tell Chef Rodgers he has another "fan" in humid VA!!

I agree, it is work! But the best ketchup IMHO. And the smell while we were processing was out of this world. We didn't have central air nor a Kitchen Aid either. We would stand at the sink and peel and cut bushels of tomatoes for the ketchup, but I loved that flavor. Mom and I would take...

That's always good to hear. Do you feel both books are worth the investment? I have checked out the "New Southern Kitchen" and I find it "true" to the title. Many true Southern recipes, but "lighter" and healthier and his twist to them. Is it safe to assume that "New Southern Baking" is...

My Mom and I made ketchup all the time as I was growing up. It is far superior to anything you will find at the market. We used the recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I would post it for you but I'm moving soon and it is boxed up. It is nice and thick and full of spices. A...

Marmalady, I have been thinking about picking up Fowler's, "New Southern Kitchen." It is a beautiful book. How are you progressing with the recipes now?

well, he has been around a while. He's written or co-authored more than 20 books and was voted "Cooking Teacher of the Year" by Bon Appetit. I have gotten many of his recipes from cocktail parties in the past. Maybe I'll hit the library soon to glance through a few of his books. I was just...

My DH went out of town several days and returned with a gift! :smile: He bought me Celebrations 101 by Rick Rodgers. I must say that I have enjoyed the book sooo much.:mrgreen: Now I am tempted to look for Thanksgiving 101, Christmas 101, and maybe even Kaffeehaus. :rolleyes: Anyone have any of...

I am very new to this forum, but I wanted to say I have really enjoyed reading this compilation!! Thank you for sharing.

Add a "dollop" :rofl: on top of Brie, cream cheese, etc. to add a wonderful counterpoint of flavor as an appetizer.

I have made this recipe for several parties...and you can't believe how folks snarf them down! For those of you who have never tried grits...you don't know what you're missing! :rolleyes: Please give this a try! :smile: http://www.fostersmarket.com/Recipes/shrimpgritcakes.html

Hello! :smile: I shop with The Spice House and Penzey's for my spices. They both have web-sites that I suggest you visit. I hope this helps you. http://www.thespicehouse.com/ http://www.penzeys.com/ :smile: dollop

It isn't the plastic housing that bothers me. My old one has a plastic housing. It is the internal "make-up" that seems to create such a weak product. My Mom has a KA hand held (five speed) and I'm not impressed with it at all. It just doesn't have the power I thought it would. Maybe I...

Thank you both for your suggestions!

after 28 years of wonderful service!! Yep...it has served me well. Here is the problem...all the new hand mixers that I pick up feel so light and "plastic!" :ohmy: I have to ask myself if any of them are worth buying. But I really do need to get a new one as my old one is beginning to fade. Even...
